"HE was once a FEMALE media WOMAN"
English na waa!

Make sure that English put food on your table sha .

It obviously is out of the list of what put food on your table, makes one to wonder why you try to communicate by it. At least we understand pigin.

To be fair, she didn't asked anyone to come home, only to partner in developing the country, you can contribute to that wherever you reside, you don't have to come home, perhaps, the guy's probably used to being implored to come home(which is understandable), for now, returning home from the comfort level of Western Europe and the US is more like a sacrifice, not a job application where you need to access the prospect available for you from a prospective employer, I guess she should have acted like a 'politician', but then she couldn't help it, I'm sure would've have made a similar response if it was me as well.

The guy is a statistic and an unimportant one jare............

Illegal immigrant?! Lol. He's a doctor, you starving idiot.

Being a Doctor is not the same as being legitimate in a foreign land. I know medical doctors that are going about with expired documents . It's failures like you that see Doctors as special human being... I read the course of my choice up to post-graduate level and also in oversea, hence, these things are not big deals to me like they are to you.

@danites3,

You nailed it. These diasporans and their arse-kissers don't get it. That he's a doctor and so what? We have seen diasporans who despite the situation in the country have come back home quietly and set up their practice without noise. In Lagoon hospitals, I see consultants in Diaspora who come home to take sabbatical, exchange programs and stuffs. I stand to be corrected, hospitals like Reddington was set up by disporan who brought his investment back home. Companies like Zinox, then Robert's Cafe, Pragmatic computers, ProForce etc...... were these asking for a bucket list of amenities?

The guys tone was somewhat condescending, and Ms. Dabiri's tone was simply out of a sheer desire to cut short a conversation which was going nowhere.
You can't hold her to Ransome over that. BTW, the man in question is also Nigerian and he knows the peculiarities that made him leave Nigeria in the first place.

Spot on Bro

After several years as a major public officer abike dabiri should know better dan to just open her mouth and talk anyhow now! She is too respected to descend so low abeg! She is a huge figure to some nigerians youths! SMH

The only low she probably attempted is engaging the lowlife in conversation in the first place

E pain you sir. No apologies,i stand my ground.

Making milions in darkness, you see your life?

Yes thats fine. We enjoy life. Partying everywhere and our bank account is fat, we build houses, buy cars. We dont pay mortgage here for our lifetime or financing a car. We do pay off

...which draw out envy out of them. Imagine a young hardwork Nigerian resident, with networth in millions of dollars. An In-law who came back home and set up law practice once told me he was shocked at the opportunities his childhood friends had taken and how it translated into their networth. He cited an example of a friend (also a lawyer) who had built a house in Lekki and when they did a valuation, it was work $1.2m back then. He said he reasoned that such will take an average European over 20years to pay in mortgage

Honestly I see nothing wrong in Dabiri's response.
I can't imagine how brainless those Nigerians in Diaspora are. None of them could as much as understand simple and honest statement.
Abeg such people better remain wherever they are rather than come here to compound our problems with brainlessness. Mtcheeeeew

I dont see why Nigerian govt officials and celebrities are not told to not travel to foreign countries and make trouble for Nigerians there, but Nigerians going to Nigeria should not come?

I might be missing something sha.

Low life is a problemi So in your little mind, studying oversea is one big feat that one has to lie about... It's like you are using your poor and stagnant life as a yardstick to measure others... The fact that leaving the shores of this country seems to an impossibility to you does not make it so for everybody... Pls, grow up and get a life.

Seeing that I've lived in the U.S. for most of my life. Your point is moot. What did you study? And what country did you study in? Hahaha. Dude stop lying to yourself. grin grin

Bros,

Some retorts needs no pampering. Half of the guys castigating Abike did not read the precedent, the other half are lacking in comprehension, so are simply just follow-follow.

When a statistic feels the posterity of a nation depends on him coming to a ready made bed, then such should be Shushed!

I studied Business Manegement from University of East London (UEL), and am managing a personal business in Nigeria today. So tell me what you studied the U.S, as well as what you do for a living.. As we continue with this, it may come to a point where would begin upload credentials here to back claims.

Beautiful and simple question.Who asked you to come back? I see absolutely nothing wrong with that question. It is just as valid as it is sarcastic.

If you think your country is worthless and you do not feel like returning it is nobody's business. Stay wherever you are and enjoy yourself simple and short..... but seriously who is asking you to come? hahaha Abike correct babe no mind them na correct question you ask Jare.

Please type with sense.


There are many ways to put a message across, offending everybody uneccessarily is not one of them. Nigerians abroad do not turn to monsters overnight, whatever character you are seeing, was present before they went overseas.

That's fine, we all here wish good for our dear country as well as all citizens of this great nation, no hard feeling about that,but you must remember that we play a greater role in nation-building because all i could remember is that hard working Nigerians living overseas shipped in 20b-usdollars every year into the nigerian economy and that's a whooping amount of money right;.

Bros,

Hope you get my drift. The objective from Abike is about building the nation together. I believe it is only civil not to insult the sensibilities of those that hold the country dear. I do agree that hard working Nigerians living in US shipped 20b US dollars, sure, but sending money home is but one part of nation building. Running the country down by cataloging woes (especially from those who don't even live here and with overt exaggeration) is definitely not nation building.

No sensible Nigerian will ever try to run his country down. Most of us here overseas love Nigeria than those living inside the country.

Seeing so many comments here makes me feel sorry for Nigeria. We really deserve the kind of leaders we have had since 1999. Abike is Buhari's SSA on diaspora. What's so hard in saying I can assure you the govt is working really hard to allay your fears sir, bla bla bla... If she was campaigning, would she have answered him that way? Arrogance everywhere and some of you are shamelessly defending them.

Thank you.

Nigerians lack respectful and diplomatic manner of communication.

People 'flip' when they don't have a grip over the situation.

Literacy is not just about reading and writing, nor about diplomas and degrees -- it's more about civility.

What we have amongst us are largely 'literate-illiterates'.

You see, the is the arrogance with you lot, the so called diasporans. Back to the guy in question, Abike was trying to build a collective resolve of Nigerian citizen about rebuilding the Nigerian project, you lot put it down. This so called darkness is but for a time, yet we associate with the country in good times and bad times.

Talking about thinking about the future....... I hope it includes fervent prayers that Trump does not make it to POTUS........... cos na this "darkness" you'll be home to bro grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
