I believe we should stop cursing one another because of the given topics. We are learning from one another opinion. To be frank, U.S is far better than Nigeria for living. Here in U.S, nobody can violate your human right unlike Nigeria where soldiers, police-men, and influential people will beat you up and lock you in. Nigeria needs to learn a lot from the U.S. How many of the poor can drag a Nigerian Senator into a court and win the case for violating your right? It happens in the U.S. No politicians or rich people like to stay in the U.S because they are not recognized by court or police if they commit offence. I argue bitterly with soldiers here, can you argue with a Nigerian soldiers without getting beaten up or killed? Law is supreme here, but it is not supreme in Nigeria. I am very sure that nobody will reject American visa if he or she is offered a U.S visa. There is no freedom of speech in Nigeria. Can you attack Nigerian president on his comment publicly without getting arrested? I can attack Obama on his comment in public, and he cannot arrest me. Can police arrest soldiers in Nigeria for civil offences? The U.S police can arrest U.S soldiers and lock them in. In the U.S, nobody- rich or inflential people- can oppress you. There is too much oppression in Nigeria. It is very hard to convince you- guys; but if you have the opportunity to come to the U.S, you learn the differences and you will hate Nigeria. Are you secured in Nigeria? How many of you - guys, if you are Yoruba, can travel to Borno or Maduguiry State to spend two weeks. The U.S is good, I just spent 5 years in the U.S, I have a two-flat building cost me 10 million naira and 2004 CRV in Nigeria; and I graduated in 2006 and I am 28 years old. I am proud of doing my menial or dirty job because I achieve from it. If I am a slave in the U.S achieving these, I prefer it to being a king in Nigeria renting a room and riding an Okada. |

What a wonderful country. LAGOS — Nigerian security forces killed at least 23 people after a bomb blast blamed on Islamists over the weekend, allegedly randomly shooting and burning a market, Amnesty International said on Monday. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5ifSqE_f1gdpHIqT9e0I_urvL9BPQ?docId=CNG.643344498e2f2a59f170cf3592a94df0.621 |

Another splendid example of the American police state. Three different videos report to capture the aftermath of the police brutality. San Fransisco Police Shoot Man Laying Down In Street 5 Times Over Non-Paid Bus Fare The videos below reportedly show the San Francisco police shooting a non-resisting man in back and while laying face down in the street. The teenager in the video was lethal wounded after being shot 5 times after the police reportedly chased him down for not paying a $2 bus fare. The Police claim this man had a gun which still has not been found and eyewitnesses at the scene say the official story coming from the police is full of lies. Second video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeDgnP_u0p8 Read more at the San Francisco Examiner: http://www.sfexaminer.com/local/crime/2011/07/san-francisco-police-data-show-… THIS MAN WAS UNARMED THE ENTIRE TIME FROM START TO FINISH Black people are treated like trash in the USA.

Outstrip: No mind these IRRESPONSIBLE beings here who come over to america to live on Credit cards and above their means, then turn around and blame it on America. . . as if dem force them. What happened to RENTING if you cannot afford to buy? Do they also need LOANS to pay rent?? I am with you . . . I had a friend, who on a mere CNA salary was able to buy his first house cash down out in Newjersey. He knew he could not afford NY and he knew it would be senseless for him to live above his means but he wanted to buy a house so he went down to Jersey to buy. I can't believe someone even posits that inability to pay back loan is sensible argument against Nigeria. Most of these things would not even be offered a loan even if their lives depended on it, had they been in Nigeria. But they get the chance and instead of using it wisely, most of these misuse and then blame the system for allowing them that opportunity. I am so pissed that someone would even argue the way some of these have so far. |

How does another human beings opinion bother you? Does it prevent you from breathing? Every person is entitled to his or her own opinion. |

I think you should learn to read. An outright LIE or BIASED POINT is not an Opinion but a lie told. And no, this is an open forum . . . were we are free to CHALLENGE lies told by you or anyone else. If you afraid to have your lies challenged then stop LYING . . . its really that simple! |

America is about to default and the free checks about to stop Madingo, hope you're seeing whats going on in the US? |
Re: 5 Reasons Why America Is Worse Than Nigeria by manny4life(m): 3:32am On Jul 26, 2011 |
honeric01: America will not default; congress will reach a deal. Besides, the federal reserve has back up emergency plan to release funds to the govt so I guess for the mean more checks for LAZY fools who don't wanna work and depend on Social Security and Food Stamp |

we don't need to be cursing one another , i believe we all have diff ideas which we shld all respect , we can't reason the same way in the olden days it was compulsory slave trade parade , but these days na voluntary nobody forced anyone to come here so if u re tired u have a choice to go back home Americans have thier own problems and my naija has her own too , it took them years to get to where they re today And even with those American problems thier real citizens re still proud of their country , East or west , north or south home is home jooo |

Re: 5 Reasons Why America Is Worse Than Nigeria by Rhino5dm: 7:22am On Jul 26, 2011 |
It all depends on who you are, what you want and your earthly goals. I cant even think of living outside naija other than vac. Most people out there have lost contact with life and still think of the hype or gloating of living in yankee. I have a job, pay my bills, seek for best medic, support my extended family, change my ride and LIVE freely. . .I only wish of bolting out when there was little info about those living in yankee until i had the opportunity of travelling out. One of my uncle that left the shore since 80's was still struggling to dispatch mail. He cant come cos ALL those he left behind are doing far far better(particular scenario). America is far better than Naija agreed. . .But i will never stay there more than my visiting VISA. No thanks i like the sound of the generating sets and the sight of horrible looking police. . .All thats matter is how many figures your account is. IMO Say hi to uncle sam |

My-Key: we all remember rodney king, amadu diallo, and the consequences to the police. in nigeria , the camera man would have been killed or at best paraded as an armed robber. this morning, i missed my flight to ph because, even though i was out of the house for 5.30, three trailers had fallen at different parts of my route on apapa oshodi exxpressway it was a nigthmare driving through the road and i was cursing the idiotic bastids running this country every step of the way. |

Re: 5 Reasons Why America Is Worse Than Nigeria by buzugee(m): 10:12am On Jul 26, 2011 |
home is where your heart is. thats all that matters. home is where you feel more confident and more in tuned with the total populace. if thats yankee. well more power to you. if thats naija, well more power to you too. me myself ? i think both places suck equally. so based on that i will pick the place that sucks where i am more comfortable. this will be naija, if i had to choose america sucks goat nuts. naija sucks ewure nuts. now if you want to talk of nice places to live ? try england. best place in the world mate. cheers mate in england the sky is the limit to your success. alright luv |

honeric01: Impact or not, America hasn't slid into default yet until August 2nd although I do acknowledge that the dollar is gradually losing its value but it will rebound back sooner or later. My opinion is why don't the U.S. reduce the value of its currency, that will make other countries will cry for help while seeking another platform for trade, America will return to its former glory; manufacturing for cheap. However, trust me America will not default and Fed Reserve last week assured the nation and financial markets that it has set aside billions of dollars to buy Treasury bonds from the U.S. govt to pay its bills although this will be a temporary measure that will allow congress to act within that time period. |
Re: 5 Reasons Why America Is Worse Than Nigeria by honeric01(m): 1:14pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
^^^^ Power they say intoxicates, they fear losing their relevance once dollar loses its value, there's power in the purchasing power of your currency, if dollar loses its value and another currency is picked up as official currency, then both the military and economic might of the US gets affected negatively. China is bitchslapping them here and there, same with KSA. |

the op sounds like someone that has never been to america. how do you compare one of the most developed countries in the world to one of the least developed? Sentiments apart. Cultural dilution happens everywhere, come to Lagos, there are many Yoruba kids that dont know didly squat, so lets cut the crap. Call a spade a spade |
