THE PEOPLE IN NIGERIA ARE TOO STINGY. I GO THERE EVERY YEAR AND NONE OF THEM EVER OFFERS ME ORDINARY 5000naira

Not only to offer you, once you arrive, from the time till u leaving, u will be responsible for all expenses.
and what make me laff most is, when they visit you in western world, you still take care of them as well.
and here they are talking about being stingy.

They travel miles just to come and "greet you" not even one single gala or an orange in their bags for you.

They eat a hearty meal and then they expect you to give them transport money for their trip home.

Who gives me transport money when I go and visit my friends or family in London? Lady T I see you are in London, make I come greet you? You might give me transport money smiley

Gerr out! LMAO kiss

u lot are cracking me up,

Ha ha – where are all the people who were saying we are stingy…………, they have all disappeared or are they tired from flashing their relatives in the west.

Yes people in the USA may send more money home – but tell me what kind of life is having 2 or 3 jobs just to appease some lazy and greedy relatives back home. At least u don’t pay as much tax there.

I saw an ad on this same nairaland calling for drivers in Lagos, I quickly thought of calling my friend and telling him – look they are looking for drivers in lagos maybe ur brother can take the job instead of harassing u all the time for money – but u know some people now – decided to leave it as I can just imagine the curse the brother will place on my head for even suggesting a (unemployed o!!) man like him should take such a job when his older bro has a good job – “HOW CAN…….ARLU!!!

Another thing why does someone who is not working ask for expensive gadgets. I don’t understand this nonsense. Since when did beggars have choice, me I no get I-phone meanwhile someone who is no working is asking if I can get them an I-phone…………………. U no dey see my £50 nokia inside my bag u dey ask me for i-pone and blackberry – nonsense I no blame u self.

Everyone want better thing.

Sorry pple just getting myself ready for my trip later this month. The last time I nearly lost it when someone asked me to give them one of my phones and my digital camera (camera that took me 3 months to save up for)

Try giving one of those people you old mobile and hear them condemn you and your phone to hell.

They dont work but they want the best of everything. That's the reason so many people turn to crime.

Re: Why Are The Nigerians In The Uk Stingy ? by Pittbaby(f): 2:59pm On Jun 05, 2009
100 GBP is now a small thing , if you give me 100 GBP , that is my grocery budget for Two weeks plus , will buy gas for a month in my Honda civic . Nigerians in Naija have no concept of the difference between 100NGN and 100 USD or 100 GBP , it is not the same thing , when i was a student I could dash someone 100NGN, who born me well to give anybody beyond my family members and Friends in need 100USD as a worker.

Personally me I was impressed with my friends and relatives when I went home , they were the ones spoiling me and taking me out and that is the way it should be , not you expecting me to buy a ticket for 1000 USD and still bring money to give you becos I came for vacation .
Re: Why Are The Nigerians In The Uk Stingy ? by Akabiboy(m): 3:08pm On Jun 05, 2009
Some funny things people in nigeria will ask for money to do:

1) I need to pay my school fees.
2) I need to pay my kids school fees.
3) I need to pay my rent.
4) I need to pay for my child christening.
5) My girlfriend is pregnant i need money for an abortion.
6) Can you buy me man united jersy, the champions league one.
7) Can you get me the latest i-phone or ipod.
cool Can you get me 10 tm lewin shirt.
9) I need a sony laptop with web cam.
10) I need money for girlfriends birthday.

Those are the one's i can remember.
People need to realise it takes alot to survive in the western world.

My broda pele , take a deep breathe we have all been there. The funniest one that happened to me is when I was just three months fresh in the US still sharing a bed with my lovely cousin who was nice enough to take me in so that I did not have to pay room and board for college . a so called friend calls me and asks for 70,000 NGN to complete his rent in a two bedroom apartment in lagos. I kindly suggested that he get a roommate or look for cheaper housing . He sent me an email cursing me out for implying that HE could share an apartment with someone.

That final part is a cracker!

The average Nigerian actually enjoys and is very choosy compared to people in the West.

They only want the latest phones, the latest car models, the latest of everything. . .
