TOPE2000!:

I concur

~Sauron~:

This reeks of BIAS.

chic2pimp:

How so?
I don't see how that statement can be seen as biased when we all know it is the truth

valoval:

well everybody works for himself, why should we raise words against each other. home /abroad are the same, am living in Italy working but the truth is there is no place like where a child was born. it goes to no place like home. i was working with oceanic bank before i left to Italy and even now am into the same job but the pay is 1000 times better. oceanic bank paid me 45,000 monthly but the same job pays me here 400,000 monthly with minimum hours but greater risk,. but i wish to be back where my prophecy was made , where the child was born. but home i love and hate . i need God's help.

debosky:

Are there jealous people? Yes - on both sides of the divide.

~Sauron~:

Now why would anyone(NIDs) get jealous of Nigerians in Nigeria?
Can you elaborate?

Freiburger:


Can u prove that his is on (NIDs)

~Sauron~:

I don't get your question.
Can i prove what?

~Sauron~:

Now why would anyone(NIDs) get jealous of Nigerians in Nigeria?
Can you elaborate?

Freiburger:

I meant how did u know he is an NID?

~Sauron~:

U mean Debosky? I have met him before in London dancing Makossa in one Owambe Party.

platinumnk:

Your analogy doesnt make sense.
If someone builds a school how is it giving them fish? Isnt it giving them structure so they can learn?
i go home, Im not blind.

@ Honeric

I did not insult anyone nor did I throw any claims of 'I am better or I have more of this or that'.

All I have said is this - people making claims of 'some people are making it in Nigeria' is not a reflection of much, if the majority of the population is in abject poverty.

I have not said they have to contribute to those who are less fortunate, but it is the height of foolishness to 'boast' that French and other foreigners come to Nigeria and are making lots of money as a sign of good things in Nigeria, or to boast of isolated examples when the structures around us are falling apart.

Excuse me for not being as 'neutral' as you are - I cannot see us waving away the ills of OUR country in the name of sounding 'unbiased'.

For someone to claim people couldn't 'make it' and so left Nigeria is a backward way of thinking and I came in to challenge that, and other assertions that blindly overlooks the failures in the state as a whole.

Are there jealous people? Yes - on both sides of the divide.

honeric01:

Yes, it won't sense to you because you think everyone think like you, the school you "claimed" you built, is the school free? the pupils that go to your school, do they go for free or what? don't tell me there are no schools in your village.

I have already known what to expect from you likes right from the debate we had on the exposure stuff when you claimed that because some people have never left Nigeria makes them unexposed and local, it was so funny because you kept mentioning "going abroad" as a yardstick for exposure. now tell me, what does that kinda statement translate to in the news of those that haven't been abroad? you made it feel as if they are all bush people that lacks exposure just because they have not left the shore of Nigeria, i had to stop debating with you on that because you were about making me sound like yourself.

Common sense teaches that one side might just be as good as the other but trust some to immediately turn it to "my life is better than yours". Some embarrassing person even threatened to post his passport pages. For what?

This comment made me laugh, where do you stay when you visit other countries?? The worst neighbourhoods? You seem to know how struggling Nigerians abroad live but never mention the other side of it, People of the same class stick together, when I go back to Nigeria no one asks me for money because they already have money, same thing happens when they come to visit me. For someone so wealthy, why do you hang around so many “deadbeats”?
And there is nothing wrong with the cold, Go skiing for winter and head to Maldives for summer. The heat must be getting into your head because you are also here chatting trash on NL, so by your own rules you’re a “deadbeat”.

hahahahaha WHAT??
So Ignorant. Please educate yourself.
I come on NL cos I love catching up on things going on at home, love the typical naija bickering back n forth etc etc. Has nothing to do with what you think.

And to the poster that said 'only the strong survive in naija' WHAT THE HELL IS THAT EVEN SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
What do you mean by strong? Strong in mind? Or heart? Or brain? Or what? So what is supposed to happened to the supposedly weak?

The problem with Nigeria is with her mentality. No change in mentality, no fwd progress.

debosky:

I personally know someone who is jealous of we NIDs because he cannot get fresh Boli and Epa daily and has to wear 10 overcoats in winter and walk about looking like Baba Suwe.  

Others are jealous of the Jeeps people drive in Nigeria for fun and the big houses, drivers, cooks, etc that an 'average' manager can have in Nigeria which an average NID cannot usually afford (unless he is into human trafficking).

ROTFLMBAO!!! Don't know why I found that so funny.

Aqva:

@Baddiyarh or whatever,
Don't be a fo.ool.

I don't have to live in a run down neighbourhood to know how u live. When next i come to the UK, catch me at the Hyatt.

Aqva:

I said i'd post my P to show u that most of u are living illegally abroad with expired visas while some of us have got a 5yr Uk visa, a German and US visa, yet we're here. I fly out when i like, no sweat.
I've told my sis, come home after your M.sc and i'd get u a job where u'd earn 300k a month.

honeric01:

Make una let us hia word ooo, all these i better pass my neighbor should stop ooo, Nigerians with their mentality, no matter where they are, the attitude of "i better pass my neighbor" no fit commot for dia body. if u like, put lipstick for pig mouth, it always remains a pig.

I don't have anything against 'foreign based Nairalanders' but frankly speaking some of them can be very stoopid and dumb. I still remember a thread that was posted by a diasporan Nairalander late last year on which he said he was coming home to  Naija very soon and he wants to know if it's safe cos he'll be moving around a lot and he has some expensive high-tech gadgets like an i-pod, rolex wristwatch etc ^{like sey we no get all these things for Naija already}.  Imagine the kain stoopid audacity. . .!

If you check well you'll see that they are hand-me downs from the white people they worship over there!

Chei, we don suffer no be small!

You have time to catch up with Naija b'cos u have nothing constructive doing. Perhaps u're unemployed or work in a mall as an attendant and i'm sure u have a Masters degree just like moi. You are a second class citizen and will die so except u come home.

As for those kids, Plat and Ohsis,

For you to buy a 7$ watch and give your family shows how poor u gals are. I can't give anything less than a 50$ item as a gift.
You probably only see the Ralph Lauren and LV stores from afar.
I don't get it, how can we fly into UK/US shop at the fancy places and u so called inhabitants only stare at those stores from the display windows?
It's almost like a life time sentence of slavery.

I hear of how little white boys close their noses when u enter the trains, it breaks my heart. U let those white trash call u monkey? Let them tell u you smell and u smile back? U're a disgrace to mankind.

I wear Chanel homie- $99 a bottle
