shango:

And rereading the first couple of pages in the thread I posted about Nigerian Citizenship thread, it hit me how elitist Nigerians in Diaspora really are. There are people in Nigeria 100 times smarter than me, that choose to stay in Nigeria and struggle through living daily life in Naija. It seems most people that find their way to the West, have a "better than thou" attitude like somehow being in the West puts you at an advantage or makes you smarter than your brethren still in the motherland. Again I will argue it requires more smarts and strength of character to carve out a living in Nigeria and some may argue coming to the West is actually taking the easy way out (some not I though). You guys like me here in the States or other Western countries, please, stop the looking down of those back home. They are not stupid or lesser than us and you are not a genius or smart alek for finding your way to the West. Even Mexican Laborers with no education can make it to the USA and carve a living and make enough money to get a lease on that Benz or Audi that you snap pictures of and send back home to give the illusion that you are living it up in the states.

Where in the various posts on this thread have you seen where a NID categorically mentioned that He or She is better that the NINs? Dont create what is not existing. This thread is all about yabbing our various means of livelihood irrespective of where we live and most of these career presumptions are not true anyway. This is purely an internet affair and most of us (both NINs and NIDs) would be suprised if we met each other or knew what we did for a living.

For your information, many of us have also worked in Nigeria and know the challenges of living and working in both environments. Life is not without its challenges. Nobody is claiming to be a smart alec here or posing. We are just discussing the social conditions of where live.

@ Shango Mexico is poorer and less developed than Nigeria

na wa o! I'll come back to this fallacious reasoning later. I'm still busy at work now

No one is claiming to be better, if anything, Paw-Paw claims all the NIDs are shit-packers, while he is so rich he is called CBN and doesn't get called 'nigger' everyday like the NIDs while constantly avoiding armed robber bullets on his way to and from his air conditioned Lagos mansion.

In your dream, your warped dream that is. Even if you wanted to shake their hands by the time you finish washing all the pots and pans in the stadium kitchen they would have left the stadium. Take a day off next week.

mr pawpaw unfortunately in the stadium they "take away"their snacks. bt.w seriously u dint know that   aww embarassed ,nywyz while u were busy chasing yellow buses (baba agberoo) i was busy shaking hands with only those that played well in the match. well i feel your sorrow bu' dnt worry, the good Lord that gave me this oppurtuinity will do same 4u,  . . abego no go shout the kind loud amen wey go make the 5mins light them give una dissapear o undecided tongue

Please no blame me.  Nigeria does not have it's own alphabetical system with over 250 mushroom languages---- so anything goes when you stick to the colonially inherited language.  Or do you have Ibo alphabets? grin  Whosai!  Thank you mama charley oh!  We would stll be using sign language now! grin

I am not Ibo, hausa, bini, Urhobo, yoruba or any other tribe in Africa but I attempted to write some of ya funny langs here---You think it is easy?  See as una dey write abi na butcher English for hai? You know it is not easy now! shocked
