You must be from southern Nigeria who believes their women must be in their thirties and their men in their forties before they start preparing for marriage. Please here in the north people in their forties are already grand parents, so don't be surprised someone said a person in their sixties should be her grandparents. My mum became a great grandma in her sixties.

"My supervisor is in his early 60s, so it was super hard for me to start calling him by his name every time. This man is old enough to be my grandfather and he wants me to call him his first name. I’m getting more familiar with it, though.

One of the things I don’t like about being abroad is the fact that everybody minds their business. It is a double-edged sword. In Nigeria, you don’t like people being in your business, but sometimes, you actually need it.

Last year, I was sick. I had an emergency operation so I couldn’t go to work for about a week. I was in my house and the next thing, I was in the hospital, so I couldn’t inform anybody. Not a single person called or texted me. Not one. Not even the HR person.

I left a cup of coffee on my desk the day before the incident and when I came back one week after, I met it right there with mold in it. Sometimes, it gets really annoying in Nigeria when people put their noses in your business, but I’d rather have that than have nobody care at all.

I always like to say that if I died in my apartment, nobody would know until my body started smelling because even my rent would automatically pay itself from my account and the landlord wouldn’t care to check on me."

Low self esteem is bad.

Those of you suffering from inferiority complex and long history of chronic years of generation to generation poverty background that is so pathological that you think these toilet-stealing countries are "saner clime " and their citizens are better than you should read this.

Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan (1660) expressed his views that "Man's life was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." Hobbes inferred that people are naturally selfish and wicked and cannot be trusted. Therefore the primitive or "natural" state of humanity is violent and brutal.

What the lady is experiencing is not culture shock but retrogression and what Thomas Hobbes described as the primitive "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short" life of an uncivilized man. They will soon be dying out before they reset and now reverse the trend.

Our society is more developed and civilised than their own but those from here or over there who are from very poor inferiority complex background and with poor education won't be able to understand.

Any country where anyone would not look out for the other is destroying the same foundation that built their society. Go and read about sociological perspectives, what is happening in french society is unusual and it's borne out of fear from a sociologically brutish, violent, primitive uncivilized society. They are too scared stiff to care and reach out to support one another. They are solitary , brutish and primitive. If you are raised there, or raise a family there, you will become same brutish, violent, nasty uncivilized primitive man like them.

Human beings, civilised human beings that belong to civilised societies like ours, are a social creatures, we are not like Leopards or cheetahs that only come together when it's time for sex , and after sex, move apart ike the way these prehistoric people are behaving.

I am Yoruba from Lagos city, the number 1 start up city in Africa. I am a patriotic Nigerian who is profoundly proud of my civilised Yoruba culture, heritage and that my Yoruba forebears did not raise us in this primitive french society way.Check my signature for free stuffs!

Angelfrost:
Honestly, apart from the first name basis thing, every other thing up there is how me and my guys live our lives even here in Naija.


The older I get, the more I wonder why most Nigerians can't mind their fvcking businesses... Like, Dem swear for una?!!

However, the part about not being seen at work and no one checked on you is kinda farfetched...! Employers are largely mandated or duty-bound to do that.

I will commit suicide after my dad's burial

thecommunist:

here in Canada, my supervisor and colleague would not only try to reach out, but would also wish me quick recovery if they find out I am sick and did not show up to work. My office is cleaned everyday after work hours by the cleaning lady and any food or drink I left on my desk that is getting spoilt would be thrown our for me.
This may be so because my 90 % of the people in my work are immigrants from, my direct colleagues are from Iran, Jordan Indian and Philipines, My supervisor is white and he has started to get influenced my us. he asks about our wellbeing and families.

what are the benefits you guys got from suchlike ,apart from having Ten million almagiri beggers

Maybe girls from your tribe.

No-one’s an island but no-one has two heads. There’s only one you. If you can’t be truly comfortable with yourself, who are you going to rightfully be comfortable with? Why are so many extraverts allergic to a little of their own company and incapable of doing anything alone for 5 minutes?

humberjade:


You seem not to get what I am trying to say, what I am saying is that, when you live abroad living all by yourself can be lonely and dangerous depending on the country of residence. So many people die alone in their apartments and no one finds out until the corpse start smelling. I can't even begin to mention instances when you wish you had someone close.

Depriest2020:

The tribe I belong to, we don't have anything like almajiri.

Depriest2020:

My mum married @ 21, my elder sister @ 23, my elder sister's daughter @ 22? So if that's what you call child then I don't know who taught you that.

pinkguy:
no graduate ,no wonder they didn't train you well ,u lack knowledge

pinkguy:
but you have Boko Haram and thousands of extremist

musicwriter:


There's actually a documentary on the last part. A lady died in a Western country (I forgot the name) and it took some years before people knew. The air conditioner was still working over the years and somehow she didn't smell. She was still sitting on her couch watching TV when they opened the door. And the TV was still on over the years!!

But I prefer to live that way.

Try looking out for Nigerian community or group and join. I think they check on fellow Nigerians. Oyinbo life na mind your business, they don't care unless you are in a relationship with them. May the Lord be with you.
