Nigeriadondie:

Guy pls define a poor man to me. For me it is one who cant afford life's basic necessity- clothing housing and food. Bros na because I lost my memory card I wud shown a village where Syrian refugees are resettled in Ger
Guy u no go understand until u see it yourself.
But google it

I have been laughing so hard reading your posts. Wow! You have actually repeated many times that there are no poor people abroad. I boldy declare that you do not live abroad. I have travelled far and wide within and outside Germany were I live and yes there are many many homeless, poor people here who cannot even afford a home, food. I mean very poor. At major train stations in germany free food is given to the poor only once a day by charity. People beg on the streets, in the cold! People deep their hands into dustbins to pick used bottles and cans so they can at least see a cent or two. And yes, people stay on train tracks to commit suicide out of frustration. Abroad is good but don't blow it out of proportion.
Here is a picture I took during the winter at Munich, Germany

StarPlayer:
Oga let us tell ourselves the truth here. We all know the system is designed to keep everyone working and living in debts and mortgages, all those instances you gave are mere "surface dressing" it is a very common thing to see a middle class income earner fall into the level of living in homeless shelters and depending on social welfare in a twinkle of an eye. That is just how the system works. That is why I call it modern day slavery.

The poster you are responding to is not mentally sound, take a few minutes to read through his previous comments on other threads and the way he insults people and reasons,is that someone who claims that he is better off than an average person living here? They claim to live in splendor yet they act worse than thugs and drug addicts living under the third mainland

Another question we should ask ourselves is that how can someone who claims to be enjoying life abroad be literally living on nairaland, is there nothing else to do overseas than to post on nairaland 24/7? Only simpletons will fall for the lies these people tell. Why are they not living beyond nairaland

Lagbaja425:


Oga Starplayer, How is life in Chicago? Please elaborate. I lived there for several years so this should be very interesting...

Please, please, please. Do not generalize based on your unique situation. Life may be hard for certain Nigerians abroad but that is not the case for everybody (or the majority).

Also to the point made by a poster above, life even for people washing poo abroad MAY be much better than the life of someone with a more 'dignified' profession in Nigeria. What you fail to realize is that in a developed country, there are different levels and MOST people (even the so called poo washers) can still live a somewhat comfortable life. In Nigeria, you are pretty much rich or poor and that's it. For instance, I know for a fact that if you are able to go on vacation abroad in Nigeria, you are considered wealthy, that is not the case here. Again there are levels for everybody.

While Akpos the rich Nigerian man here may travel first class on Delta to San Juan, Puerto Rico and stay at the Ritz Carlton, Alfonso the doorman will fly Spirit Airlines to the same San Juan and stay at the Holiday Inn. While the rich man arguably has a more luxurious experience, Alfonso still had a very pleasurable vacation. Please tell me how many door men (security men/gate men), teachers or even regular office workers in Nigeria can afford a vacation of any sort?

Hopefully you see my point, the fact that you have what is considered a low class job here does not mean you are poor, you could in fact be much more comfortable than many people in Nigeria. Developed countries provide levels and everyone can find their place and still be comfortable.

Also don't lose sight of my initial point, not every Nigerian here is a poo washer. Several of us are entrepreneurs, scientists, professors, doctors, consultants, attorneys, product managers and bankers. I just made the point above to indicate that even if you are a poo washer, you may technically be better off than Oga lawyer in Nigeria.

Best,
Successful Nigerian in the Diaspora

Your post made me laugh. Do you know how many middle class Nigerians own at least two cars and a driver to go with it? Having a driver, maids, and other domestic staffs here is quite easy unlike it is abroad. Now tell me, assuming i work in a bank, with even a salary of N150,000, i can still afford to pay a driver N25K, a washer man N15K and a maid N15 to N20(or alternatively i can just put her in a cheap school or let her learn a trade) how many middle class indivuals abroad can afford all three permanent staffs at the same time? So there are pluses and minuses everywhere. With that same salary, i can also be granted visas to many other countres abroad , depending on how i package myself. What i'm trying to say is this, Nigeria is not as hard as most people make it seem, our problem is that most people cant see beyond the bridges of their flat noses

You abroad people should please stop deceiving people here with your high earnings when converted to naira
A minimum wage guy in new York is a poor man so is a minimum wage guy in Nigeria

Nigeriadondie.....you earn 750000 in abroad but your house rent and other things cost you 800000 if you have to live well so you result to borrowing is that one life.

If you earn 10% of that amount in Nigeria you can get by bro

Read d link above. I made specific emphasis on scandinavian countries cos that is where I am though I dont need to specify where. As for d pics u showed of some one in Germany pls check well if that person is not a Romanian gypsy cos u see them in many streets of Europe and they are highly organized in begging where behind begging they run narcotics gang, prostitition rings and other criminal network. Even if there may be d poverty rate is so low. Also refer to rich gulf states as well like Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait where oil Arab money flows.
Poverty in Nigeria and Africa is so high that US and Western govt dole out aids,grants through various agencies of international development and other or NGOs whatever. But which aid does Nigerian or other African countries.
The Human Development Indices for Nigeria is so bad compared with many of these countries. Is it marternal and child mortality rate, access to education and health, life expectancy name it.

After paying bills and I ve enough to buy food, go on holiday, clothings what more do i need. I dont need so much to live well.

So you actually wrote that its only a particular tribe that stays homeless and begs on the streets. I have met naija guys staying at the train station begging for a living plus many other nationalities as well. Go to Hamburg central train station and bring out money from your wallet to pay for a ticket, as soon as you're about to slot in your money into the machine you immediately see (from nowhere two or three guys corner you desperately begging you for money and if your not smart enough your money is gone. Go to Berlin ZOB at every interval there is a public announcement system warning everyone to watch their luggage's and personal items because there are pick pockets around. Go to Bremen central station right infront you find many people sitting on dirty blankets with their dogs begging for food and money. Even in the cold. Breaks my heart to see such. Peole sleep in the train station, on the streets, feed from dustbin. I have seen it countless times. Some stand at the entrance of shops to beg. There are poor people living in abject poverty everywhere including europe and America. American citizens live in homeless shelters too.

I have never read a comment so exaggerated gosh! You are obviously in Nigeria daydreaming of how heavenly abroad looks like. Is scadaniva a country?

I just knew you were a poor somebody. Shut up if you haven't lived anywhere else other than Nigeria. So having a driver and maids that you can freely owe is what you call a good life Are the maids not Nigerians that should have rights? How many Nigerians can get 150k jobs (That's even less than £400)

This blind unintelligent patroitism makes a foöl of you.
There are poor people all over the world but in Nigeria being poor is one without hope. No school, healthcare or justice. Absolutely nothing. Check the quality of state schools even within Africa and find many of your people there but no foreigner in even our Universities. On top of that, you can die anytime. Cannot remember where I saw it but in Nigeria, negligence kills more people than the casualties of war in some areas.

You cannot see that the people plundering the country are the same ones investing in their children overseas. We cannot all leave the country that is why some of us here are being very harsh expressing our disappointment, mainly because it could have been so much better. Some people abroad for long don't even know how much worse it has become showing a poor man in Germany Poor people that have healthy looking dogs and have access to worldclass healthcare but you come here like Lai Mohammed love child to talk nonsense.

Nne stop wailing.It goes to show u that I ve internet access anywhere anytime brekete to d point that I go on streaming to watch football occasionally movies which is a luxury for many there who wud be saying my MB don dey finish. Besides it is summer and I am enjoying my vacation so time is not luxury for me.
U ve not been able to refute my points with sound argument.U re worse than Lai Mohammed. Lies are in ur genes. At least u read the comments of Nigerians abroad and Nigerians at home. Yes all may not be perfect but admit that even d basics Nigeria hasn't and sadlymay never get it right. tell me why has our refineries and steel rolling mills never be reactivated inspite of d billions spent on turn around maintainance as they told us? why at this age power is still rocket science for Nigeria? U still dey enjoy ur 22hrs of light?U re not ashamed u were bragging of 22 hrs of light when Aso rock runs on generator and budget for fuel and generator in d annual budget? Look at d sorry state of major highways across d country eg Okene Abuja highway leading to d nation's capital abi d one connecting Ondo and Edo around Ibillo I passed thru which has a ditch in a lane of a federal highway. I am not talking of d condition of state roads?
U never cross over that is y u dey act like Lienus as u lie with anus far more than Lai Mohammed.
As for insults u re d one who insults people especially when they refuse to be insulted by ur shallow and senseless line of reasoning. in one of ur comments u called d person an idiot showing how frustrated u re.
I am sure ur dad must be one of those looters in govt or dey in collabo with Evans that is y Naija dey rosy for u na.

Pidgin2:
So because one idiot man says hardship in US is better than Nigeria, it means he's right? Only a foolish person will agree with such a useless opinion. If you go abroad yoiu will see how these suececffer heads value their coins like say na treasure, they are suffering out there. While you can see a Nigerian spend 50 pounds notes, you hardly see those diasporians spend anything more than 1 to 5 pounds at a go.

Forget the lies they peddle on nairaland, life is hard there too. Yes the have light, water, and stuffs but unlike here you can't just stay with w relative more than a month without complaints, they will kick you out for using their utilities, prepare your mind to stand alone once you step foot there. Forget the lies o, be warned, all that glitters isn't gold

hope u can see d beginning of ur comments above packed with insults? "idiot man" "stupid person" "suffer head" "useless opinions" cosd majority of people don't choose to accept ur senseless opinion that lacks truth? Can't u be civil enough and display some decorum when commenting? I am sure u re a spoilt child with no home training at all which if care is not taken u will get outside.
I know it hurts but be mature enough to take full charge of ur emotions than for it to control u.

Where is pidgin2 forming patroitic Nigerian that Nigeria is paradise on earth.

I have said it that Nigerians in Nigeria who defends Nigeria wud change their perception once they reach abroad. Forget what u watch on movies when u experience it live and direct u go know say khaki truly no be leather.

Once u travel abroad u will curse our leaders and wish Oman, Kuwait, most western European countries have no poor if u even see what they call poor u will be amazed. Norway with oil like has d world's largest sovereign wealth funds together with other scandanavian countries that are called welfare states with social security systems that are regarded as models for others to follow I can authoritatively tell [b[b]]that poverty is dead not even one person is poor.

That is too weak come on. That is because of d gun laws. Take a look at other countries without such gun laws it is much safer like d place I live u dont hear of that. It is enough reason to feel Nigeria is much better than d US. As a Nigerian have u had light for 24 hrs a day not to talk of 1 week uniterrupted power. Even Aso rock budget for gen and fuel but I have experienced my 4th yr abroad with not even an interruption for 1min.

Exactly my brother.
Mine was for 5 and a half years with power interruption of just one day for 18hrs.
It was on a Friday, everyone was prepared for it 'cause the notice was sent from monday of that week.

Nigeria has a long way to go and i doubt the country can ever make it.

To all those that still believe in Nigeria, una well done oo. Keep it up!

Really? Mr High IQ. FYI Nigeria is an import based economy almost every meaningful thing you use are imported and you ask a silly question. Is 150k even good enough to live on in Nigeria where you pay for healthcare and basic amenities that you don't get including taxes.

Better read and learn than talk rubbish here. How many people even get 150k jobs? How many people get consistently paid through the year without being owed for months? Didn't the price of food increase by over a 100% since this government came in and you talk about purchasing power
