Hi,

I have seen some comments about the houses in UK, its amazing that our naija mentality still means that we naijas mainly live in London and never travel around UK. UK is lovely if you are willing to go 'outside London' ( I hate that statement).

I live in a beautiful village in Cheshire, nice country side really really lovely. I guess its not really about UK -V-USA, but more about the way our people live in each country. I know people on both sides of the continent who are doing well and others who are not doing so well, both countries have their pros and cons.

But I believe the economies of both countries say it all, USA is going down and UK is still doing alright. Go figure!!!!

Re: United States Of America Vs United Kingdom by orisebawo(m): 5:52pm On Apr 02, 2008
I prefer the UK because i live there and understand the way things work,that is not to say the US of A is not good, I agree that in comparism things are smaller in terms of the size of your house,car, lifestyle etc but i dont think poverty is so blatant in the UK.

for the past 4 years my family and I go to the states every year for holidays and i do enjoy the shopping,the big roads,the hotels  the cars and generally the change of scene but it isnt a place i would love to leave. I will be going to sacramento next month and i am really looking forward to it.

In terms of how much money you could make, i guess that would depend on your field and level of expertise and from my little research i am better off in the UK as a chartered accountant than in the states and if you are a contractor even better.

Conclusion: I prefer to live in the UK and visit the US of A

The economy is not the sole criteria for determining which country is better. The UK pound is stronger than the dollar but the average American is more financially stable than his British counterpart who spends every single pound on bills, taxes and yet more bills.

Without the millitary might of the US the UK would long have been blown to bits by the Germans in WWII.  tongue

@ 4him.

Very funny. Why was there a brain drain from Nigeria in the past, of course the economy, why are Nigerians returning home now, u don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

The economy is extremely important, would you go and live in Sierra Leone now, I know things will improve there soon. But truth be told, no one wants to live in a financially unstable country. I am a realist.

What is even more funny is that you equate the US to "great" nations like Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
The US is financially unstable?  grin cheesy

If you read to understand, you would have understood that the underlying statement I am making is that no one including yourself will live in a financially unstable country.

With regards to your 2nd statement, it shows that you have no clue. I have chosen not to lead evidence to butress my point. Go and read FT and watch the news

whatever you and D-reloaded have na your own wahala. . . as long as you've answered my question. so the main reason why you prefer UK to USA is b/c its easier for you to spend your time counting beans there. ok. no probe. now we know why you're bleating about the American economy and racial issues.

and for correcting my mistake, one kobo for you, now at least that will motivate you to keep checking each post for errors

Now as for the comment you made to me on the other page as of racial tension in America, omo, my post was based on what i heard ( as you did the same) and what i read in the media, and what my family members witnessed. well, i suppose it depends on each person's experience. well, where am leaving i prefer it to what i've heard about UK. that's the main reason why i picked it, and am sure that's the second reason why you picked UK.

and i repeat,i prefer USA to UK.
