Lies !!!
You spend $2000 on drinks every weekend.

debosky:

See all these rich people swapping stories. . . .abeg show us the way oh!!

My brothers abroad are tired of shitpacking duties.

debosky:

That is a lie - is the person doing 24 hour shifts daily?

Abegi there is no place like home. . . . .naija is the BEST.

~Sauron~:

Naija is no home. . . . .Naija na jungle.

debosky:

U need to expand your horizon.
Ordinary UK plumbers make more money than most Chief Executives in Naija.

dayokanu:

You mean the corpse washers and poo packers make enough money to fend for themselves and even send Western union home monthly to the millionaires in naija.

I am missing something here someone is not giving the right picture.

BlueDiva:

@DK,
Lol. . .

Since naija is a jungle can you and Sauron send me an iv and tickets to come over?
I can do sh.it biz too. . .pleasssse

JoeGaruba:

Its undeniable that there is beef for 9ja abroad. Its a 9ja factor. Being rich is not enough for us, we have to have more than other rich guys. The OP was right. The vitriol that has characterised the responses is more than enough proof.
That's why the west is different. There is little or no PhD (pull him down).

There are however those abroad who have condescending attitude too. Those are in the minority as far as I know.

At this rate, even when our successful citizens return home, we definitely will have this same "what makes you better than me complex" I have seen it even in multi national companies in Lagos.

Sad.

Freiburger:

If you live outside Nigeria for a minute, you will realize the wasted opportunity that is Nigeria! I came back a couple of weeks ago and what can I say? Every time I've visited in the last 20 years, the country seems worse off than the last visit. Who wants to live in a place where only a FEW gets to live right?

ogajim:

Is this JEALOUSY that I am sensing from our brothers and sisters back home? Say it ain't so!

There are two classes of Nigerians - Those that can MAKE it anywhere and those that CAN'T make it anywhere.

It is silly/IGNORANT of anyone (NIN or NID) to assume that we all do the same job though I don't see any problem in doing any job that pays your bills, it beats stealing, 419, etc. The ones with the "condescending attitude" when they visit Nigeria probably do the same thing where they live, we are fond of boasting about "making it", "mad money" and what have you without realizing that not all of us are money hungry to the point of losing our moral compass or offend our God. Only kids believe money to be everything, we have to have "made" it in Nigeria at some point to be able to get out and who is to say we can't make it now if we choose to?

BlueDiva:

Colonial mentality.
What are you doing to improve the land?

Don't you have family in Nigeria?
Who are you waiting for to change Naija for you?
When repaired you will now come back and reap what you didn't sow? Selfish man.

And who told you that even 50% of naija abroad are rich? Huh

Dont get comfort-ability confused with wealth.

frosbel: I have noticed with many comments here on Nairaland  , that Nigerians in Diaspora tend to get insulted , abused and maligned when making comments that do not fit into the perspective of some Nairalanders.

Insults start flying around such as :

[size=18pt]'go back to your one room rented apartment '

'go back to your beat'

' has your visa expired'

'when were you last home'

and a barage of more graphic abuse.
[/size]

I have set up a poll to understand why such anger and hatred is channelled towards us Nigerians who are very hardworking and live abroad hoping to make a positive contribution to our country .

What are your thoughts ?
