Nothing sweet pass being a rich and wealthy man in Lagos or any other part of Nigeria.

It's only poor people that denigrate this great country and they think going abroad is a sure escape route from poverty...

I basically own and control the police station in my locality, the OC debriefs me regularly on security situation in my area.

I have white people work for me from all around the globe and they get paid as at when due.

I can't even count how many duplexes and mansions that I own.

I travel to any country without visa because I have countless CBI passports.

I live like a king and general even as a fvcking civilian.

The only social media I use is nairaland and I am a ghost on other social networks.

I love my country Nigeria, I die here!

If what you are saying is true, please, hook me up with a job.

I watch western movies, so the culture shock is minimal, plus, i have adapted in terms food.

I enjoy outside Nigeria, they never take light away, you can walk outside at night, i dont have the criminal mindsets of Nigeria, i dont want to rape or steal or kidnap No No.

Best things, is that there is order, the bus always comes on time, and the people driving cars are no mad, they respect the traffic rules and pedestrians.

Outside Nigeria, you don't fight for water, electricity, good roads, access to information, its at your finger tips.

For those with good pans, you will reap the fruits of your labor without needing to know someone or going to Babalawo/ mamalawo.

Success takes some time, but once you know you are building yourself up, it will come eventually with consistency and focus even with little steps all the time.

But what i miss about Nigeria is family, extended family and food.

If i can remove those two things, there is nothing in Nigeria to miss.

I just wonder, how we were turned into animals in Nigeria. Could be over population, and other factors probably.

So, a Nigerian Currently in diaspora updated us about the weather change in the country he is compared to how he used to have it back at home.
Realising that it is still day break by 9pm grin

But I even heard that in some countries like Norway, they could have a day and sunny time for a complete 24 hours without having a sunset mixing the day.

Lol.... Underneath a comment list is where we have a Nigerian, a Lagosian to be precise showing us what part of Lagos looks like at night grin grin

This is not culture shock. Weather has nothing to do with culture. Culture shock can be in term of food, dressing etc

Unlike Nigeria, you need brains, you have to also work very hard, no cutting corners. wink wink.

In Nigeria you have people to run to, you can be lazy, but its not so outside the country, thank God, i know how to stand myself, one needs to be disciplined and smart.

These are bound to be individuals from other West African nations, ugly mentality people, that spend time in Nigeria and then when they go abroad they try to help demarket Nigeria instead of try to demarket all those racists foreign nations. Later they want to form Afrocentric.

Idiots.
