Why We Hate Nigeria So Much - By The Diasporians A.ka. Nigerians Abroad!

I'M SURE IF ALL THE SO CALLED OYINBO WOULD DECIDE TO SHIFT TO AFRICA, ALL YOU GUYS WOULD FOLLOW. IS IT UNTIL OYINBO GAVE SOYINKA NOBEL AWARD THAT HE FELT ACCOMPLISHED.
THEN YOU ALL SHOULD BURIED THERE WHEN YOU DIE OLD INSTEAD OF HERE SO THAT YOUR BONE WOULD NOT BE USED BY HERBALIST. RUBBISH, HOME IS HOME, IT IS WHAT YOU CALL YOURSELF PEOPLE WOULD CALL YOU.

There is nothing you enjoy in Europe or American that i dont enjoy the equivalent here in Naija. I dare you to mention it.

in the words of Akon

A
This is for all the love
And the life took away
F
Don't forget we were bought and trade
R
ripped from the land and shipped away
I
Is the inspiration we use to survive
C
Have to see it with your own eyes
A
No play add it up and arrive

Still you don't know
The land is so gold and green
The place is so fresh and clean
And everyday I water my garden

Tell me if you feel it deep in your heart
This place is so cool and nice

Visit once, guaranteed to visit twice

And if you just believe in the most high

I know you'll be all right
A
That's my favorite place when I need to get away
F
Must forget but we can't forget to pray
R
Like Lance ridin' on the runway
I
In my homeland and I'm feelin' so alive
C
Imagine Africa unite
A
Gonna accept mass alright

Still you don't know
Skin is so dark and brown
She lifts me right off the ground
But no you not gonna see it on your TV
So just listen up and believe me
Her trees have the only cure
Her love is so new and pure
Had to kiss them troubles goodbye bye
No I don't have to lie

 Africa,Naija all the same

Why are you so stupid? Has "diasporian" you've met said they don't want to go back? Man, you're stupid.

sjeezy8, I do agree with you there, but what about the have nots in Nigeria?, Its all fine and dandy if you are educated and have means to bypass what the ordinary Nigerian experiences, but most of the population dont have the opportunity to do that, should their experiences just be ignored and swept under the carpet? Really if we want a better country (not just a handful of individuals doing better), we really have to face reality and start changing it.

Lets compare the Lagos Ibadan expressway which I believe was completed in 1977 or 1978, to the M1 motorway which completed in 1959

Make your judgement

Lagos — Concessionaire of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Bi-Courtney Highway Services Limited, yesterday launched its presence to commence

work at the Lagos end of the 105-kilometre road following the expiration of eviction notices served on trespassers to vacate the right of way.Leading the construction team at the site, Bi-Courtney Chairman, Dr. Wale Babalakin, SAN, said, "We cannot wait a second longer to start work.

The longer we wait, the more deplorable the road becomes, and the longer it takes for motorists to ply through."Bi-Courtney is to finance the reconstruction, expansion and modernisation of the 30-year-old road with N90billion under a Design-Build-Operate-Transfer scheme to run for 25 years.

Yesterday, the construction team inspected structures along the road at the Lagos end in readiness for the movement of heavy-duty equipment to site later in the day.

Owners of some of the illegal structures were seen trying to move away their valuables while most others were yet to make any move to vacate the right of way.Ministry of Works, Housing and Urban Development had issued the first eviction notices on 24 July, 2009, followed by a reminder on 3 August 2009.

The last notice given the trespassers a seven-day ultimatum was issued on 25 August 2009.According to the notices, by virtue of the concession agreement signed in May, Bi-Courtney "is to take full responsibility of the Expressway, the right of way and other properties along the corridor, " including all structures previously owned and managed by the Ministry.

Not only do they have poor maintenance culture but complete village mentality.

When people try and clean up Nigerias image in terms of housing and development by knocking down illegal structures they label you a bad person. Like Fashola
Everyone can see the divide in who favors his governance and who doesnt. Paying your taxes and not having illegal housing is foreign and is objected by most Nigerians. Nigerians back home want all the good things but arent ready to pay for it.

Amidst all the corruption and mismanagement,people still have a cause to smile and party.We are born survivors. No light but we still get cold water and clothes are ironed. Bad roads but we ultimately get to our destination(Okada lol). Poverty is present but i have never seen anyone die of startvation. Things are bad and could be worse but one has to look on the bright side et al fashola. The Governor of Lagos state is doing wonders are people in Lagos are now paying their taxes and even contributing to Lagos state development in our own little way.There is hope for Nigeria. I am a proud Lagosian and a Prouder Nigerian and anybody that hates Nigeria simply because the goons in power are bad.then such person needs ARO.

Nigeria Go Survive Hate it or Love it. I LOVE NIGERIA.I LOVE NIGERIANS.
