u right hotsteppper, what u said makes a lot of sense, everyone is going to defend where they are, us is winning now but im surprised because i thot there are more nairaland users in the uk

i dont think so

na wah, i don tire 4 diz thread oooooooooooo, make una all go and sleep, wetin be diz sef, diz shit ain't gonna stop, am saying it again, if u don't like where u live just take ur ass 2 sumwhere else, I have been to both place and choose Canada and after skool am of 2 Naija cuz as aixing, Africa is still it, personally and i say it again, I would just love 2 come and visit abroad and live 4 naija, so every1, breath and letz move on cuz this ain't gonna end, either uk or us, none is perfect cuz there r still neg. and positive side of each, so DO I DO, lol

A friend told me y'all have to have a "TV licensce" or some **** like that to watch tv in the UK, and all kinds of outrageously high bills. I'm gon visit therer tho just to hear some brit asking me if I want some tea with that funny accent.

u call it funny accent huh, na wahhh british accent is really nice so don't watch dat

Inka

Do not waste your money. It is not worth visiting, and yes people watch TV on their computers so as to avoid the TV Tax. In the US every Tom, privates, and stephen has a big screen, or plasma, or something that does not make your eyes go bad while watching. The place is messed up. I still want to know what exactly an average Nigerian in the US will relocate to the UK for. Nigerians use London as a spring board to the US, where they eventually would love to end up.

@Emmie4j

Nice one bro on your comments about the army. Ain't this a great country? You can feel the passion Nigerian Americans use to defend their base, the UK based Nigerians are more timid about their love for their base. It is almost like they are not sure if they really like it. The best thing i did was leave that country. I remember the tight living space.By the way we are winning the poll by nearly a 2 to 1 margin. I think that people are not being honest in their voting, we should be more like 80% US and 20% UK.

yea to buy a TV in the UK you need a license imagine, its not like that in many places.

@old glory, na wahhhhhhhhh, sweetheart, pity dem ohhhhhhhhhhh okay, diz is like defending ur villa 4rom anyother villa, if they like UK, good 4 dem, itz dere own personal choice, ah, ma friend dat skools in uk and visits da states is online now, amke i ask am dz question sef, i go send ma reply 2 u'all,

U.S is betta

@Hotstepper
Good! Ask your friend. Have you been to London yourself?

apprently, she came and left immed, yes I have been dere, I personally won't leave in UK, not 4 me, so tight and all

apprently, she came and left immed, yes I have  been dere, I personally won't live in UK, not 4 me, so tight and all

americal all the way!!!!!! boy i love this country!!!!!

Dude

I love this country too!! Bro! I feel you.

@Kola

Heeeeeehh

Which place are u talking about? Nigeria? i guess cos thats the place where 95% of people dont own a compuer. Besides Kola how do u know all these stats 4 a country uve never been to? If u have friends in school in the U.S u can confirm from them

Yeah and to add to that, a complete computer set can be gotten for 400 dollars. Very well within the reach of most, including students that dont recieve 1 kobo from there parents.

Yeah, back to the topic. I think Il take The U.S and Canada, and even other european countries ahead of the U.K. But il take any of the two ahead of Nigeria, that one is 4 sure.

naija is good, UK is better, US is the best Period.

Why are we all judging places that are not our motherland!!!!

Having read every single post, including my own again, I think this dead horse has been beaten to a 2nd death

The choice, as 7up says, and from the various threads, is clear - the US is best. Nice thread though. I can't remember a thread (other than "walmart in nigeria" that generated such responses.

In the end, it's all a battle of ideas. I personally think that the mere fact that many countries have moved from communism to socialism to pseudo-capitalism (capitalism having been championed by the US), says a lot about the US. I mean, look at China. Is the US perfect? Nope. Which country is? As long as humans live in a place, that place is bound to be corrupt. It is the lesser of two evils that will prevail always.

Once again, for those on both sides of the aisle that gave answers based on reason, as opposed to crappy rants, I troway salute o! I hereby am pulling my notification from this thread

Who told you i have not been there? I mean UK.

I may be wrong by that 95% but i know plenty of people who are able-bodied are claiming peanuts as job seekers allowance.

Go to virtually all Libraries in UK, hundreds queue up to have acess to computers. Similarly people queue up to access internet which is as cheap as £10 a month.

Sky Digital cost an average of £31 a month, how many homes is hooked up to Sky, cable or Home Choice.

@ LoverBwouy

You know what am saying.

It's obvious that you have only been to the most deprived areas in London. Where I live i don't see anybody queuing for internet access. Just represent your endz, that is what this thread is about.

WesleyanA:

You know I'm beginning to think so too. Intoxicated with US!

from my own perspective, it is cheaper to live in the US than in the UK, the UK's cost of living is high and they don't jus give their visa to jus anyone becos it is too crowded. even if they give you visa it's takes time b4 you get a job. UK is too crowded, everyone shd come to the US where there is lots of space and job opportunity for the young age.
anybody can buy computers, acrs, here in the US. no license needed. personally i loved the US, and i would like to visit the UK one day

Weslayan

I have been called "Bigsis" in another thread, and now i being called another name. I love where i live, is that a problem? US vs UK? I take the US. Represent your location!

@Skidoc

I represent US (North) but not with as much vigor and zeal as you do! damn

I rep NIGERIA  mostly though.

I guess i can call you Kokscity 2 or maybe Bigsis. Lol. 

Wesleyan

You can call me O.G here, Nothing else. But if we met in person, i would introduce myself differently. The Vigor is from Hating the UK, having lived there before, and appreciating the US now that i live here. Simple!

so this topic is still on

@emmie4j If you saw my previous posts I am more in favour of the UK. So you loosen up.
