Arsenate: dammnn, man. All these diasporans come on NL to tell us how much of a sh1t hole naija is but from what you wrote up there, UK is the biggest hell holes of all. What a sad life out there. yes o! not just sad, the boredom and loneliness accounts for the high incidence and prevalence of depression as well. wonder why people take their own lives, or just open fire in public places/cinemas to maim others? they are depressed. if not for recent boko wahala, Nigerians are largely known to be happy people despite their challenges. uk is strictly mind your business. people lock themselves up indoors ...self incarceration abi na personal house arrest. |

We need fellowship with one another. The smallest form of fellowship is marriage between a man and a woman. The Bible also encourages that we should not forsake the gathering of brothers(believers). Increasingly, technology will isolate people with the illusion of connecting them together in an instant. And I daresay that the benefits of human presence CAN NOT EVER be replaced with any technological counterfeit: holographic, visual, audio, still or even robotic. All these methods of connection are souless. |

mediainspired: New researches have proven that the new media (social network), plus hi-tech gadgets like ipad, iphone, blackberries etc have replaced real social relationship, intimacy and friendships. Now, everybody can sit behind a laptop or type from their hi-tech gadgets and chat with thousands of their e-friends on facebook, twitter, nairaland; but at same not having the benefit of the soul and essence of friendship. Look around you & u'll see practically everyone either face-down on a computer, blackberry or ears shut with an earphone listening to music. Like there are no sensible punks here to like a sensible post. |

That is the cost of civilisation and modern life. Nigeria will still get to that stage too, in fact, we are already in that stage and we are not even fully developed yet. Growing up cause people to grow apart too. Reason it is better that you spend your life doing what you love. |
