Page 1-106!! Thumbs up Frank for opening such a thread, hopefully I will be in your shoes within two years. I've told myself that I will never make any derogatory or negative remarks about Nigeria no matter the urge to gripe and complain, things are terrible and depressing yea, but it could have been worse. It has nothing to do with being patriotic, it's just a mindset. Am grateful for how bad things are already, knowing that am not defined by the environment or my circumstances, but how I react to them. Time and chance will happen someday and I will tell my own story too, but till then..... we will stay positive against all odds.

Some days back, I had the opportunity to tag along to the burial of my Mum's colleague's husband.

We met the service at when people were giving eulogies for the dead man. Haven not known the man even for a second, I was touched to the bone marrow by the good things said about this man. What brought almost everyone to tears was when his 8year old son came up to the podium to give his own hand-written eulogy. Though tears were running down his cheeks, he stood tall, with his head held high and gave his speech.
After the eulogy session, a wonderful saxophone rendition was made.

This was followed by a homily of sorts. One striking feature of the homily was the simplistic tone with which the preacher preached. The man, though somehow old, gave soul stirring solos (accompanied by the church pianist). He alternated beautifully between the preaching and music.

Another thing that struck me was the design of the church itself. Arguably one of the finest I've seen in a long while.

On our way home, I took some pictures.

PlayaOne is one of those people who came abroad and didn't plan his life. After years of being a "playa" while his mates were grinding and built a good middle class lifestyle with assets, he has finally opened his eyes on the opportunities he had and eventually wasted. Now ashamed and embarrassed he needs to make excuses for his successful or lack of it abroad. So now he's running around discouraging people from coming abroad, and blaming racism and everybody for his lack of success abroad. Notice he hasn't taken any responsibility as well? Is someone putting a gun to his head and making him stay in America ? I'm 31 and in Canada, all my mates who came here all own houses and drive nice cars within 6 years after arriving. My cousin who just came here 4 months ago as a skilled worker just landed a entry level job at a major bank taking home 2600 Canadian dollars per month after taxes. You do the conversion. That's a entry level position. And he has his own apartment and about to get a car, not to mention he has the luxury of living in a country that provides everyday amenities (running water, constant neppa,etc). How many 31 year old can accomplish this in naija in 4 months unless there papsi was one big politician stealing money ? The funny part is, my uncle (his dad) was originally against him migrating here. Now he thanked God he did. He use to be one of those naija patriots (like playa), even he can say youths in naija have a future with a straight face anymore.

Playaone is a fool. Original onye ara. Don't mind him. Come abroad and you will not regret it, I promise you! Your destiny is literally in your own hands here, no bullsh!t. You work hard you'll be successful period!

Will DM you bro.

Calgary to be exact.

Nigeria is FULL of opportunity . what u mean is America is ready made so u don't have to build it up.

U want 2 work a regular 9-5 job own a big house,car,eat out... live in luxury.

and put no effort into the country . Yer country.

Nigeria is a frontier, a untapped mark where as America is flooded.
U could own all kinds of business in 9ja improve the economy, improve the living and become wealthy


But u who leave the country for "opportunities" actually don't

•••Its why business men from Russia dig oil in her land and u miss the wealth
http://energymixreport.com/russian-oil-and-gas-firms-looking-to-invest-in-nigeria/

••Its why her Choca is imported by the Hershey chocolate company and has made them fat an wealthy


Nigeria is full of natural resources and materials.
Opportunity 2 make something bigger than that wage labor all you go to America looking for
Because THAT'S what u and those who go there do.


Work a regular white collar job u could do inyher own country and live fairly decently in 9ja
not opportunity. Or u'd stay home

progress69:


Thanks jare. People wey never get visa before not to talk of travelling out before go con dey form super advisers dey rude on top am. Blab like every thing is as easy as ABC.
I am not desperate, I know no one will disturb u as long as u stay away from crime and troubles that can land you in police wahala. But all tru then, one has to do all these little jobs to sustain. But those little jobs still makes more sense compared to Nigeria, plus the standard of living and the relative peace of mind.Perhaps with time, one will get a spouse. U only have mouth whe. U have that green card. Will make a solid decision next year, God help me!

Tiwanna:


For where

Garri or Gritz?

I took beans and Garri to work one day, I mixed the garri with milk and put it in a ziploc bag, then I put some sugar in another ziploc bag. When I wanted to eat, mr J's son saw my garri and said "Hey Obi, you're having some gritz?" I was puzzled, not until his dad came, brought out a pack of gritz and we started having an argument on which is which.

see if you can tell the difference??
