I no know wetin u dey talk o

Omoge, I said i no disturb person o! You no dey hear that one @ all.

Although monkey must answer him name now!




@ ELGASTON or whatever they call you,
the way you've been sounding and replying on this thread, it seems like you must be very bitter about something that happened to you lol, maybe you be one of those brodas wee dey flash 20 times con dey hustle your uncle's friend's sister's husband for money chap chap,
u really do sound like them becos your are obviously no being considerate in your comments. In the UK, PEOPLE DEY HUSTLE TOO. Things are not a bed of roses. It is HARD to send money consistently to your 20+ cousins and neices and relatives and friends that are constantly on your back.
TRY UNDERSTAND MY BROTHER.
It doesnt pay to be a PARASITE

@Darfur!

Mosquito no dey the part of abuja wey I dey stay o and Light dey 26hrs of the day,

this means you may be part of the 0.01% of the nigerian population that is highly connected with the powers that be. you are part of the "islands of wealth in a sea of poverty" that constitutes nigeria's disgraceful social inequalities. you know what. . . .these few previleged are likely to be directly or indirectly responsible for the grim situation at home. where young people like me can't have any hope. i came to the UK with nothing, but things are moving for me. and more importantly they are moving because God dey my side and I de hussle. . . and not because i dey connected to Gordon Brown or his labour party. that is how a society should be. the poorest part of the city has no pot holes and no open gutters. they try to allow "better to reach everybody"

Re: Nigerians In The UK Are So Stingy by oluite(f): 10:55am On Jul 06, 2007
i've read most of the post and i think these things are true on both sides.i have relatives abroad and it's difficult keeping in touch with them.sometimes they come in quietly home and go back quietly and you get to hear after they've gone and stuff like that.it hurts because these are pple who are supposed to be real close to u.
But i believe it's because of family members who ar always at them for financial support and stuff. so i just pray for them when i can and send them mails once in a while.the point here is that nobody is perfect.funny enough,i more in touch with friends abroad than my family.

Re: Nigerians In The UK Are So Stingy by Tornadoz(m): 11:14am On Jul 06, 2007
I wonder why we Nigerians never feel sorry for our brothers and sisters abroad. I mean these people abroad are mostly cab drivers and they do odd jobs. While we siddon in our air condictioned office, spare a thought for your brother abroad who is probably a "mai guard" or cab driver. For someone driving all night to send you the little they have is preposterous.
The reason Nigerians think people abroad make lots of money is because of the exchange rate. Now if you drive a taxi all night and few hours in the day you will make close to what they make in dollars. My point is if you work hard in Nigeria you'll make it, else go to America and clean oyinbo toilets, the choice is yours.

This issue is a double sided one. I think they are stingy in a way- but we have to consider that the cost of living outside is very high especially for foreigners. When you consider the amount such people use in processing visa or worst still - the risk they take to migrate illegally, you will see that its worth being stingy! angry

wether i clean toilet o, or i clean kitchen o, the fact be say i get hope for future wey i no see for naija b/c i no get connection. imagine me say i finish school for naija dey house hussle everywhere. . . no jobs. i suffer b/c i could not reduce myself to work as a political tout whereas our dumb leaders use the federal money to sponsor touting for political advantage. i'll rather be a toilet cleaner in racist UK than be a PDP chief tout in naija. hoha. when i finish my education we go sabi as we go do am.
