While there are some who get carried away and forget home when they travel, there are others who refuse to loose their identity and uphold the fundamentals of their upbring even after adopting a second citizenship.

A typical Nigerian mentality,success are usually equated to financial wealth.Its painful that at this age of time people are still engrossed with money seeking life style undermining the dangers and the bad name(in some cases). So,his friends and family where expecting him with money bags.Well if he was rich by any means see what would have happened to him http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-68077.0.html. |

I just read the story now. I feel like crying. The thing has spoilt my whole mood. Why did they have to kill ? They got the money. Why did they have to kill ? I will never never blame anyone who doesn't want to step into this country ever again. |

This shows the kind of animals in human flesh we have in Nigeria.They are ready to do anything for MONEY. When you look at the wealth of the nation,poverty,the religious nature,the wickedness,greed and corruption.It is difficult to balance the equation because of the divergent nature of the variables. |

MAN rethink or your perish Do we all want to be winners? Err. . . I'd hope so. I doubt anyone wakes up in the morning and says "Today, I hope to be a loser, father Lord help me be the best loser I can be" I think you meant to say not everyone wants to be ostentatious and materialistic, right? |

It is definitely not about patriotism, it is definitely about not wanting to live in a shithole like Nigeria.
Quality fo life is important, we only have a short time here on earth and who can honestly say they want to spend it in a cesspit full of filth that Nigeria is.
Simple fact, whatever you say, anywhere is better than Nigeria, I would even live in a toilet bowl if I had the choice.

I also read the story and it is a very sad one. A hard working woman living abroad comes home with her children only to be murdered. Very sad , but fortunately not an everyday occurrence . Mistake people living abroad make when they visit is tp send a town crier ahead to announce their coming and possibly arrange for drummers and praise singers to tell the world that "they have arrived" and that they have come to oppress everyone else with their "success" . It will not be surprising however that men of the underworld will also mix up with the welcoming crowd. Nigerians get robbed and killed abroad also anyway. The only difference is that there is a high probability that the murderers will be caught if done in a better equipped country , always too late in every case. If "good people" (like you) stay away and let the society get strangled by evil people who is to blame ? If you can't be in Nigeria and you truly love your country , find ways to assist efforts to make things work and not just stand at distance and curse the people living in Nigeria for their wickedness . Since when have you guys thought of forming pressure groups abroad to influence who gets voted into public office in your local government area , your local police , how your local hospitals are run , how local wealth generation programmes can be implemented ? But of course that is not your responsibility ; it is the job of the evil people in government.  We all get the country that we deserve , and in the end staying away in UK, US etc even if for fifty years doesn't make you British or American (when you get to places that matter they will certainly make you realise that fact) , it only makes you and your children dislocated Nigerians. If I were one of those unlucky bereaved children , instead of staying away I will rally friends and relations together and make it my life long duty to make sure that the people who killed my mother are caught and punished. This way, we can all change the country bit by bit in our own little way. Many of us have lived abroad too for many years and surprisingly we see that the people most averse to returning home are those that have no business living abroad - typically having pitiful jobs, earning pitiful pays , living in pitiful house , wearing pitiful clothes and eating pitiful food. They probably have nothing to return home to and that is why they earn my pity , but they shouldn't on the other hand Knock those who chose to. |

please stop confusing Nigeria with the cesspits, shitholes and arid stinking wastelands your ancestors sprung from. Hopefully you will end up living in the toilet you wish for. |

from lagos we shall go to calabar. I will treat your taste buds to the most delicious edikain kong soup. you will rekindle the distinct taste of bushmeat and roasted wild antelope and palmwine.

@ siena
Hahah. gotcha!
ok so why dont u want a trip down memory lane?
when we were young there was this family that never travelled home. each christmas when we stuff our cars with yams and goats for the village they always remain back.
when you ask they say tufiakwa! they cannot return to their home states because they are fettish, that juju will kill them etc etc. they really painted this terrible picture of their towns men.
when we eventually got to go to their village they had no house! hence the excuse that they have witches from the village after them. they did not have a place to sleep. no family house.
siena huunnnnn, I suspect you may have personal reasons and i will not press you for that.
ok Im begging. give us a chance. okay? just 2 weeks holiday and i promise to change your perception of Nigeria forever.
u should be around 39- 42 years am I correct? were you born in November, July? you are fair average height and a bit plump? you wear glasses? you like cars? just trying out my new hobby on you.

@ Igbogolo: Anyone said I'm running? I do not, I repeat, do not connect with Nigeria in any form. It's not a case of being patriotic, but more being realistic. I was born and Raised here, I first went to Nigeria when I was 6, spent 12 years there, and still hated it. If I couldn't get to like living there in 12 years, it was never going to happen, simple. Last time I was in Nigeria was June 1990, and to be honest, I'm feeling no pain. You insult a guy and his ancestors from having his own opinion about Nigeria?  One thing I've learnt over the years is, Nigerians just can't take critism, which is a shame. Especially when the said critism wasn't directly levelled at you. The ability to accept critism allows for positive changes, improvement. Sometimes, when people criticize Nigeria, and are insulted for doing so, it just reinforces the belief of others that Nigerians are generally rude. Just my 2p's worth, Tpia. yes, I will insult his ancestors and more, with the way he keeps going on about Nigeria. You may not find it annoying but I do. Its not by force to be a Nigerian and neither is anyone being forced to be a member of a Nigerian forum. Since he refuses to reveal where he's actually from so people can expose and comment on the bad things there, then his ancestors must bear the brunt of his bad manners and insolent attitude. I have no patience for anyone who uses every single opportunity they have to run down Nigeria or any other country or nationality. And especially Nigeria. We all know the state of the country- after a while you all need to move on to other topics instead of constantly disturbing people with tales of how horrific you find the place. Stale news, abeg. You dislike Nigeria and feel contemptuous of the country. We've heard. No need to constantly harp on it as if you're being imprisoned there. After all, you were able to escape and currently live in the UK or somewhere else. So be happy with your situation and forget about Nigeria. The country didnt follow you to your residence, did it? There's criticism and there's criticism. Some criticism is constructive while some criticism is simply a ghetto response to people's frustration with their lives regardless of location, which they disguise as constant attacks on Nigeria. lets hear something else plz. People deserve a response that matches their stupidity, if civility is unheard of in their universe. my own two cents. I do not, I repeat, do not connect with Nigeria in any form. except as a member and moderator of a Nigerian forum of course. Would it kill you to keep your personal prejudices to yourself and show some consideration for the people you're moderating. If you cant give respect to Nigeria or a fellow Nigerian, at least you ought to be able to give consideration. There are probably a lot of forums dedicated solely to bashing Nigeria and Nigerians. Why cant the Nigeria haters search for those. |

@ tipia.
I know how you feel but siena to me is just a lone voice in the desert. there are plenty others out there including foreigners that have something fantastic to say about nigeria and nigerians. He is just a figure and am sure that whatever negative perceptions he may have of Nigeria pales into insignificance when you compare it with others that hav positive experiences.
Some people, even citizens of 1st world countries have disowned their countries. there might be something there, maybe a betrayal not necessarily from the country but from personal experiences with people, relations, services and institutions. until you know what the actual problem is, you may never be able to understand why some people feel the way they do
that does not make siena a terrible and unreasonable person. I think he needs to be healed of his negative perception of nigeria and we need a lot of patience to turn him around.
or siena dont you think so, ?

There's nothing to "turn around", as you put it.
You have your opinions, I have mine, it's that simple.
It most certainly is. Especially considering the fact that white Britons are among the highest numbers of emigrants to other countries. They're leaving their own shores at an alarming rate. One needs to ask: what's chasing them. |

broe, you have a lot of fire in that mouth of yours. I think we are overflogging this siena issue. he is not the essence of this thread and rubbing on the same issue will only draw attention.
he does not feel like coming back to nigeria. maybe he could not make it here or something. u never can tell why a nigerian can turn his back to his country. although many nigerians transverse the globe, they eventually come back someday. either as old bones or in cheap coffins but they definetely find their way back sometime, somehow
so relax okay? siena will have good songs to sing about this country soon.

@ Thor.
I am so sorry to say this but from your posts here and somewhere else, i find you very hypocritical. One minute you are asking why anyone would want to live in a cesspit ( Nigeria), and the next you are wondering why anyone would want to leave nigeria to become an illegal alien in a foreign land.
Why don't you just open your mind and shut your mouth, both are empty anyway. Jeeez!!!!
