Daboomb: I don't have a problem with your English writing......my problem is with your logic....Nigeria is a country where only the rich are happy....should it be like that? NO! You can praise Nigeria all you like because you are fortunate to be rich...many poor Nigerians abroad are enjoying life more than you...whether you believe or not is not my business. You are simply living the 'fools paradise'. I can bet my last cent that non of those your children live in Nigeria. 7 Likes |

Jaqenhghar: Mor00ns like you jump into the midst of an discussion and run your mouth like a broken tap, Idiat without taking time to get the drift of the discussion. That is the classic definition of stupidity. No one said you have to be rich like Dangotte to enjoy basics of life. What is basic to someone, is not basic to another, it all depends on the level you operate. Also, l never said ONLY people with money shoudl elnjoy life, that would be unfair to people who are poor through no fault of theirs. Now listen, Mr. Stupid, this is the highlights of my angle of the discussion: - Nigeria is not as bad as people say, that they are so desperate to run abroad and do menial jobs that pay pittance - There are loads of problems in Nigeria but all of them, l mean all of them, can be mitigated against if you have money in your wallet - Life in Nigeria is "unregulated" and that freedom, is the essence of living. Life is over-regulated abroad (there are benefits to that as well but individually, it is a drawback because everyone shoudl nto have to live at the same level). That is the basic arguement between Communism and Capitalism. - Money earned abroad, when spent abroad makes you an average person, you only feel the impact of that money when you change it to Niara and begin to psend it in Nigeria (due to the cheaper, relative cost of living). - Really Rich Nigerians who have made money, (and this is where l mentioned some names), dont want to live abroad, they always want to live in Nigeria because they know that the nejoyment in Nigeria is unlimited, un regulated and only determined by your own imagination. If you have the money for example, you can build your house to any taste that give joy to your heart, in Nigeria. No matter how rich you are abroad, if Buildig regulation says Houses in this area cannot be higher than 10M, if yours is higher than 10M by just one feet, you will remove that one feet, even if it is your roof! You cant have open parties, you cant play your music as you like it, you cant talk in your "Nigerian voice", everybody must whisper like a mouse, etc I have lived the life and l know whatsup. - Nigeria is the only place where you can multiply your investment crazily and no one will be after you, if a certain amount enters your bank account abroad, Revenue will be on your tail before you know it. But abroad has its own advantages (calming effect and predictability, mostly; which others who just want to live a "basic, structured life" cherish. That is all good for such people. But that is not all there is to life, challenges is what gives life, meaning . You see why most people commit suicide abroad, their life lacks meaning and verve. It is all too regulated and boring. The average Nigerian is poor but his life is full of "challanges", the sort of things that gives life meaning and makes you want to keep going. If the Nigerian then makes money on top, l tell you, he will create his own paradise, here on earth and in Nigeria Dont come back at me with some lame arguement, just for the sake of arguements, l am not here to argue with anyone or prove anything, l have nothing to prove again at this stage of my life. 2 Likes |

Demainman1: And l dont disagree with you that the disparity in living conditions in Nigeria is unfair. But you must also agree with me that "enjoyment" is relative because it depends on what you consider valuable to you, which is also dependent on some factors which are unique to each of us. I am not even praising Nigeria, l am just saying "I enjoy Nigeria and it is not as bad as people say" You see somebody whose only prayer is to get out of Nigeria because he believes once he leaves Nigeria, he is made! But you will agree that there are Dustbin pickers abroad, people who sleep on doorways of Companies once they close for the day! Peopel who sleep outside all year round and rummage through the Bins. That is abroad as well, right and that is also below basic standard of living? Again, l repeat, l am not condemning abroad as bad. Stable electricity is good, steady water, good schools, etc. All these thing smake abroad good. BUT can you honesly say that people (not all Nigerians) dont enjoy these things in Nigeria as well? I and many, many millions of Nigerians enjoy these things they enjoy abroad and many more. I wish more peopel will enjoy it as well but l cant control that, not in Nigeria, not abroad. If you will, can you please even tell me ONE THING that many people abroad are enjoying, that l am not enjoying or that l cant enjoy here in Nigeria, that would make me to be very desperate, to want to try runningabroad in a dinghy, ove rthe mediterranean That is where my logic comes in: If you have the money, there is nothing they enjoy abroad that you cant enjoy in Nigeria and there are even things you can enjoy in Nigeria that is nto allowed abroad. I cited the example of building your house to any design that you like. That is one thing l encountered over there that pissed me off! All houses in an Estate are exactly alike and that gives for a boring environment. An arial view of where l live will bring smiles to (y/our) face, just looking at it. Everyone gives a piece of their feelings and love to their buildings and its so colorful. I like that, maybe you dont appreciate it and l understand that. We all have different things that we value! Some dont value Artwork but l pay good money for Artworks and just admiring them gives me joy Again, l have noticed that as we grow older, what we value also changes, the htings we prioritise also changes.. For most younger people on Nairaland, "just go abroad" is a fulfilment Maybe l was like that some decades ago but now, it does not thrill me one bit (I still visit to see old friends who stayed -put and chill out when l want o be alone or just do financial issues) But l value the "noise and chaotic nature" of Nigeria somehow. I value pumping music that shakes your internal organ on a Sunday evening. I love swimming and walking barechested on the Beach. I love seeing people like myself, l love roasted banana and those minor, minor things of life that l cant get when l am abroad. And l made most of my money in Nigeria, not even abroad and l still continue to earn enough to keep my lifestyle and have good backup for a rainy day. If you have a problem with my logic, just take it as "different" from yours and we are still good. You enjoy your own abroad logic and l enjoy my own local, Nigerian logic, No need to fight over such a simple and mundane thing. I wont force mine on you and you can keep yours, we are both doung good, right? I think we are taking this discussion too far and it might get too personal. Guys should chill and let it lie or what do you think? 2 Likes |

Let me tell you one good thing abroad since you asked.....there.., you can wake up at 2am in the morning...drive from Lagos to Sokoto equivalent in distance...No armed robbers or Police...Army...Customs....civil defence....agberos...to disturb your beautiful driving....ONLY YOU and YOUR THOUGHTS...

Daboomb:Now you are trying to backtrack after being called out on your foolishness. But still you insist its all about money. All problems can be solved with money. What a dumb assertion. With all your money there can you get a decent education in that shithole? Name one university that has managed to crack the top 10 in the whole world. Even the so called private unis. are only good at distributing 1st class degrees to the highest bidder. The lets talk of health. Tell me with all your miney where you can het quality healthcare in that shithile. The problem with you chimpanzees is you have this narrow outlook on life. Only money can answer everything. Funny enough if you really had the money you claim to have you wont be typing up this gibberish. 4 Likes |

Onebyonedead: Actually, you are just masaging your slave ego. Make the money first and come down to enjoy it. You dont need to tell people you are made, seeing you people will smell you out. Money has its own peculiar smell and those that carry it smell of it. I wish you well in your struggles, make the best of it, you still have a long way to go. pay your dues and relax to enjoy your sweat. Every Man has his own appointed time.

Jaqenhghar: You sure have a comprehension problem! You should have left some of these your stupidity at home, before you stowed-away to wherever you claim to be writing from. Money buys me Comfort, gerrit? Can you afford the American School in Lekki? Can you afford Corona College? I can go on and on but no need. And dont lie to me that you attended one of the best ten Univeristies in the world Why am l even responding to a slow person of this sort sef. You that ran abroad, what drove you there if not the chase after money or is it that you just love to be insulted and called rascist names by white people or used as target-practice by their Police officers? Stop all these pretense! Only a very few people go abroad to study, most go to work and make money. Those that are comfortable before going to study abroad, finish their study and prolly comeback Home, itis poor Niggas like you that slave-away your life but consoel yourself that you are htere because of the nicessities of life over there. I am not reponsible for your stress and sufferings. Do your thing over there and do it as you like, what you do abroad has nothing to do with me. Stop getting worked up because l said Money solves my problems. Yes, money solves my problem. I have not had that problem that money cant solve, that is a fact of my own life and l am not being unreligious here, just stating the facts. If that makes you sad, go jump off a cliff You can decieve others that you went abroad because you love sleeping on Snow in Winter but l know you just went there to hustle for some change. Some of you even go as far as Khazakstan! Jeeze! I dont envy you at all. I am not here to compete with any abroad person, you this clown that just started going aborad yesterday sef, you wont let me hear word, ehn? Abroad that l have used and used and got bored of it. Clowns like you spend one year abroad and you start insulting your fathers, WTF? Please dont quote me again, you are ruining my day with your pain, l am not used to this sort of complaining. |

The way people have found peace in order and stability, same way others have found their peace in chaos and mayhem. Like I pointed out some prisoners will argue that life behind bars is better than being free. Its all a matter of perspective no need to berate others because you choose to live in a sty. 4 Likes |

Please ignore @Daboomb, he is not a rich man by all indication; just one frustrated Nigerian who derive pleasure in basking in their ignorance. He may write neatly, but he is definitely bereft of logic and reasoning; to suggest he sounds intelligent by his diatribes, is an insult to the intelligent ones. Intelligence stems from open-mindness and ability to realise your limitation in knowledge(because you can't know all), of which he clearly lacks. To think his measure of success is hinged on the amount of money in you bank account, is a flawed metric. What is money without good health, what is money without good education or security nor the enabling environment to thrive. If he hasn't realised this at his supposed age or claim of wealth, then he is definitely a sham. He feeds off attention: for someone with so much wealth, and comfortable with his present condition in Nigeria, yet he complains miserably at the failures and ineptitude of his government (check his previous post and threads, where he constantly nags). Perhaps he may even be a 'paid' agent for one of these political parties. Get out of here dude and stop derailing this thread. I believe the OP has achieved much more than you can ever achieve in your entire lifetime. Quote me if you want, but you are living in land of fallacy. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
