Common now, the richest man in Nigeria is the poorest man in Canada
if you compare the way they live and their way of life.
A billionaire in Nigeria can't work freely in the community,
attend functions without all sorts of guard, can't move freely in the
society without harassment, you dress up nicely with things you worked hard out for
you are in trouble. Nothing happens if OBJ, Fashola or any of those big guys slap you in Nigeria.
It is better you live in Canada with little but with rest of mind.

I'd rather die a slave in a white man's land. . .than live like a king in an African jungle full of intellectual HOTTENTOTS!
The 'government' cannot finance it's budget, then you want to go to Niggerland to do what?
Join THIEVES?
God plus Satan forbid such evil!
Abeg carry go!



With 90% of Nigerians living in abject poverty and squalor!
Nice comic relief!

Rastamann: The Richest Nigerians are in Nigeria
As i said the place to look for wealth isn't in a new land. By the time you're done learning the customs and way things work here you'll be 50. You know Nigeria, you know the way it works, though few want to admit it you can make it in Nigeria. The richest nigerians in the world are from Nigeria, and don't bother themselves with the US. If you look at somebody like Dangote, Adenuga etc you will see they have one devious but consistent thing in common: connections to those in power. As a black person, and more importantly a Nigeria, you have to understand those in power are white and have no business bothering themselves with you. At least in Nigeria you can climb the social ladder more freely, you can't here. To become rich in America you need a great idea, something nobody has ever done before like an invention or a service and it has to make sense to the demand. If you have one of these....you'll make it in Nigeria as well.

And many Nigerians are suffering in the mist of plenty.

Why not stay in a white man's land where at least you can have a relative PEACE OF MIND.

90%, LOOOL, who is this broke dude ?, when last where you in Nigeria...Nitwit

TRUTHTELA: Another IGNORANT topic, that lacked in OBJECTIVITY. USA, it's foundation, people & Govt. was not designed to fit into a Nigerian man's definition of SUCCESS.

[b][size=20pt]Nigeria Has World's Third-Highest HIV Prevalence Rate, USAID Says
[/size]
From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

October 11, 2005

USAID last week at a public hearing by the Nigeria House of Representatives Committee on Health said Nigeria has the world's third-highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate with four million people living with the virus, Daily Trust/AllAfrica.com reports. Nigeria needs to adopt a multisectoral approach to fighting the disease, USAID-Nigeria Deputy Director Natalie Freeman said. The U.S. has pledged to provide antiretroviral drugs to 350,000 people and support 1.7 million HIV-positive people in Nigeria, including children and orphans. USAID also pledged to provide Nigeria's National Action Committee on AIDS with technical and logistic support. Four million "is not [a] small [number] at all. It is a large number of people," Babatunde Osotimehin, NACA's national coordinator, said, adding that the Nigerian government has ordered the number of HIV-positive people on the country's antiretroviral treatment program be increased to 250,000 to help fight the virus (Bello/Benjamin, Daily Trust/AllAfrica, 10/6).[/b]

[b][size=20pt]Lagos Highest in HIV/AIDS Prevalence
[/size]

Lasted Updated December 2, 2010 10:08 am


About one million people in Lagos State are living with HIV/AIDS; [size=20pt]most of them between 15 and 24 years,[/size] and [size=20pt]this rate is the highest in Nigeria.[/size]

This figure was announced on Wednesday by the state’s Commissioner for Health, Jide Idris, while briefing journalists on the occasion of the World AIDS Day. Mr Idris said Lagos has about 12 per cent of the national estimate of People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), quoting the result of a national survey conducted by the federal government. “The sentinel surveys carried out in Lagos has confirmed a steady, though inconsistent, increase in the number of HIV infected people,” he said. Though the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) claimed, on its website, that about 2.98 million people are living with the condition in Nigeria, Lagos’ statistics cannot be stated in figures due to divergent population figures.

Mr Idris, however, noted that the state realized the scourge of HIV/AIDS earlier than any other state and even the federal government by establishing the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency. He also explained that Lagos has higher prevalence cases because the government, shying away from any political interference, has intensified awareness and testing campaign. “Between January and October this year, we have tested more than 115,000 people in our health facilities,” he said. “More than 28,000 pregnant women were tested, out of which 1051 tested positive.” Currently, the state has 56 HIV counseling and testing sites, 40 prevention of mother to child transmission sites, 29 adult anti-retro-viral treatment sites, and 22 pediatrics ART sites.



Mr Idris also said the state, apart from increasing testing and treatment sites, has also protected the rights of PLWHA by enacting a law for the Protection of Persons Living With HIV/AIDS, 2007. “Presently, a lot of sensitization is going on throughout the state and this started in 2009,” he said. “There should be no discrimination at workplaces, public places, no travelling restriction and equal rights with people that are not infected.” He also expressed gratitude to developmental partners (UNICEF, Clinton Foundation, CIDA/WHO) and implementing partners (FHI/GHAIN, IHVN, ALCO, and AFRICARE) “who are committed to this cause along with the state government towards improved access to HIV/AIDS services in the state.”

ODE! I was in Nigeria less than 2 months ago!
No electricity. . . diesel fumes everywhere!
Unemployment. . . ,.90%!
Everyone I know that has moved back to Nigeria to 'do contract' have been DUPED out of their senses by yahoo-yahoo ruffians likey ya! They are now back in the US to queue up in airports as "LIMO" drivers with monkey coat-and-coats! All their wives have now taken to pros-ti-tution to survive!

Chueeeeeeeeeeeeh!

alpha conde: In a few months I will be leaving Nigeria to europe(belgium) for a masters programe.
Do u know the problem with nigeria?
There's no rule for any procedure.
Nothing actually works.
Things are going down everyday. U can't make reasonable money in nigeria without telling a lie or doing one evil or the other. How long can this continue. I hv made money in nigeria and I know there's money in nigeria but in the process u wud trebble. If u don't connect with politicians u will find it diFficult. There are absolutely no jobs in nigeria. Educational system is terrible. Hence my choice to do an msc in europe. I plan to get back as soon as possible.
Lastly the poster has made good points but people who have sufferred in this country can hear u becuase they go to other countries with HOPE but in nigeriA there's no HOPE like we don't expect the best anytime soon.

That is the loved one you know. I live in VA, and I can vouch for many folks who live in the McLean, Great Falls, Fairfax, areas. Folks that have homes worth more than $500,000. These are the folks who work in the govt, or who have their own business, or something else.

There's no template for success because you're Nigerian. Besides, how do you know what the person's purse is? He may live in an old house, but his retirement and 401k account will dwarf everything you have in this life. Please, stop using earthly stuff to judge people.

Arsenate: you sound so frustrated and sad...lol, all U posts stinks of frustration and sadness...lol Oga abeg I no envy u o o lmao

Blazay:

LOL!!!!!
