So many. I can own as many houses as i can without being taxed.
I can park my car anywhere without paying a parking fee.
I can hire Police to escort me or my family members or even my pets and blow siren without any form of restriction.
I can host a party and play music loud without my neighbours calling the police to charge me for noise pollution.
I can marry a 13year old from any country if i have the money. (lol)
I can be Governor without contesting election.



If i continue, you will know that in Nigeria, everything is free but not for everyone.

U can charge people or any amount and promise to take them to your country. You can take the money and run-away without any suspect or search at the airport.

As a governor in Nigeria you can loot your state treasury while having a case with EFCC you can still contest and an election and win.

To be a renowned elder state man you must loot more than your predecessors. I like Naira despite all this looting over the years Naira no dey finish.
Re: What Would You Say Is The Best Thing About Living In Nigeria by blackchief(m): 1:03pm On Jul 07, 2010
what i love about Nigeria is the people, hard working if need be, Always believing that it will be better even when all things look imposable.

Just A great country, going to leave and die in it smiley smiley.

The Poster requested that we mention the best thing about living in Nigeria, not humorous things ahahahaha

Well mine is Nigeria is a good place for the oyibos 'cos Nigerians respect them much more than their citizens. Ask lagerback.
Re: What Would You Say Is The Best Thing About Living In Nigeria by matiltomd(f): 1:26pm On Jul 07, 2010
Though it's unbelievable,but personally i still think the best thing about living in Nigeria is that Nigerians are happy people!!  grin grin The lawlessness is something nice too you know? grin grin You can imagine having a brawl with someone and you threaten to go report at the nearest police station;the dude you quarreling with brings out his phone and calls the D.P.O's personal line and brags before you that "OK, ehn ehn, alright,we'll meet at the beer parlor tonight, yes,i know i owe you 2 bottles, no wahala, ". And this is no joke o!
Naija till i die!!! wink wink

You can be middle class (or even below middle class) and still can afford the services of a. . .

housekeeper/house-girl/maid/cook

gatekeeper/gate-man/security guard

personal driver

also. . .

you can relax and drink outdoors and any damn place you wanna

you can get pissy drunk and it still wont be illegal to drive

grin
Re: What Would You Say Is The Best Thing About Living In Nigeria by AKO1(m): 2:16pm On Jul 07, 2010
So in short everything good about living in Nigeria is illegal. SMH undecided
Re: What Would You Say Is The Best Thing About Living In Nigeria by kaysquare(f): 2:31pm On Jul 07, 2010
Wow,this is outrageous!we are asked to say the best thing abt living in Naija, bt 85% of these post replies are saying illegal things!Does dat means no stringent rules are enacted in Nigeria?
Well,since it is d majority dat normally carry d vote,i wil increase it to 90% by saying "In Nigeria u can owe a lot of debt n decide to pay at your convenience or not to pay at all and nobody wil arrest u!''  wink
Re: What Would You Say Is The Best Thing About Living In Nigeria by AjanleKoko: 2:41pm On Jul 07, 2010
Well, I would say it's the natural pristine beauty, and the warmth of the people.
When you go around the world, around Africa even, then you'll appreciate us a lot more.
Despite what people say about us, I believe we're good smart people, and want to learn how to be better. We are not doing as well as we could right now, but we can be a whole lot better.

Even all the people abroad that write and say all manner of stuff about Naija, they all love the country and want it to be better. A friend of mine in England once said to me 'well, I'm not Nigerian, I'm British!' I laughed and asked him why we just finished a meal of eba and ogbono, and not roast beef and yorkshire. And why he's married to an authentic Naija gal, and not an Oyinbo.
