it is not so bad. my sister and my brother relocated to nigeria from england about 5 years ago. they love it so much. now if they come to england, after 3 days they cant stand it. they start dreaming of returning to nigeria. this is only 3 days in a 2 week holiday and they are screaming to return to naija. it must be nice

i think its plain sailing. just depends on how you choose to live your life. if you live your life to impress others then it will be hard for you. if you are a staunch independent i reckon it will be the easiet experience you ever had.
1-shun car. buy a nice bicycle. yes bmw makes bicycles if you want to flex on your bicycle. no petrol, no mechanic repair, no pothole problems, no car usables etc etc

2- get a nice modest 3 bedroom bungalow

3-entertain yourself with books and an ipod with an ipod player. no TV. and play sports in your yard, maybe attach a basketball ring to the side of your house

4-Lots of romantic candles in case nepa strikes

OPARI. EXTREMELY LOW MAINTENANCE. PEOPLE WHO FIND IT HARD TO SURVIVE IN NIGERIA ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE UP TO THE JONESES.

...9ja ppl sha, always spoiling our name. Why are some people so greedy?

Other nationals do involve in all these kinds of thing too. How do you expect everybody to be law abiding. All other nationals commit crime as well. Calling dog bad names to hang it.

THATS WHAT YOU THINK. WHEN LAST WERE YOU IN NIGERIA ?

crisycent: This news is SO OLD!!!!! I wonder why it should be on NL.

Does it make the crime less important?

Unfortunately, sometimes out here it looks like only crime pays.

The pair spent the money on designer clothing and electrical items including a 50-inch plasma television.

Herein lies our problem as a nation. By and large we have managed to evolve into a materialistic society. Imagine the number of Nigerians who would have been "respecting" the greedy couple just because they had a 50-inch plasma TV on display in their living room even when it was clear to an extent that they were not honest people.

getukudo: Let's stop all these blame game and tribal nonsense! The British and Americans address us as Nigerians. The crime was committed by Nigerians, let's stop this Yoruba people are these or that.

would u post dz if they were igbos.

obadiah777: THATS WHAT YOU THINK. WHEN LAST WERE YOU IN NIGERIA ?

Its commercial bike riders (Okadas) that are well known for their recklessness that are commonly seen in Igbobi wards. Just make sure u ride in an estate b'cos we don't have bike lanes over here. Don't reveal your financial status to people, downplay your real value and you will b safe...also get a trusted person to roll with and show you how to get around. Cheers.
