lol yeah i left a long time ago. am coming back home to settle this year though insha Allah God willing. thanks for the info. i need that service when i get to naija. how is germany ? very nice place if you go to major multicultural cities like munchen, stuttgart, dusseldorf, etc. its a very great place to be if you are young and have no care in the world. but as you get older you start to feel lonely there and you want to be around people who look like you. so if you are under 25 ? its a great place. if you are over 30 ? not so great. unless the only thing that matters to you in life is food and an organized society. but if you are more into culture and eating african foods and going to african parties and just living a great life culturally and spiritually then you will want to stay away from germany or europe. i hear ghana is good

[b]thats the problem. integrating into the society. well i will put it like this ? there are some people who are very aware of everything happening around them and they feel they are created as supreme beings and are very aware of the unspoken inferior status placed on minorities especially blacks. these type of people are spiritually aware of their sorroundings. these type of people are all returning home to nigeria, and if you are very aware you will discover there is a brain gain back into nigeria in the past 5 years. like everybody is returning back to nigeria. you will notice tens of thousands of people are returning to nigeria each year from america and europe. these are the types returning

then you have the type of people who are totally spiritually blind and are unaware and the only thing that matters to them is just being abroad and having food and house in a ' civilized ' society. now these types will die there and will never return

so these are the two types of people. now with regards to 25 - 30 year olds ? my advice ? if at this age you are not already in europe or america ? just forget it. unless you are a rich person going to buy a second home there to go and relax. if you are going to hustle ? this the wrong time to go. there is deep recession and anger everywhere and especially in america the police are taking out their anger on black people. so if you are 25 - 30 and still in naija ? just stay there. no point travelling out at all. but hey ? this is just my advice, live your life how you want but you will surely come on nairaland frontpage to cry about how europe is hard lolzzz[/b]

Memories back then.

I remember those days when life was simple.

Humans were reasonably ambitious.

We used to walk down the streets at nights without looking over our shoulders.

We used to think that thieves were the worst things in life we had to face.

One naira was worth a whole lot.

We never cared how much the exchange rate was.

People were contented having just enough to get by.

Nigerians used to love each other genuinely.

There was respect and cheer for charismatic leaders; Shonekan was praised to the high heavens, at least, where I was in Kaduna at the time.

I was only just a boy at the time, but I was wise enough to know that things are different now.

No thanks to our leaders, we have grown retrogressively.

Academic standards have fallen.

Moral decadence everywhere.

Materialism is the order of the day.

Hatred has us enslaved.

Greed has us betraying our own.

Inordinate ambitions have become commonplace among youths who cannot even build a pot from clay.

A lot has changed, but you can be the difference you want to see. Do not let the quest for the transient rob you of your pride and love for humanity.

May we get it right someday!

Hmm. Amen oo.

The earth's the Lord's and it's fullness thereof.

My take is that where you're located is a function of your role is God's overall design. That one is born in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world does not limit your life journey to that geo location. One will face challenges everywhere in the world, just locate your calling and face life.
God has blessed me with opportunities here and I'm grateful. I've friends that God has blessed with opportunities in Nigeria or evenue in other countries - Ghana, Kenya, US, and do on. Foreigners also go to Africa and settle there. They found their calling and stuck to it irrespective of the challenges.

The interesting thing is you can even get opportunities in this country just because you're not Caucasian.

thats not the point. the point is being in a country where those ruling dont look like you. its not good. even the bible tells you so, seeing as you quoted Jesus and God I assume you regard the bible

jeremiah 30 vs 21 Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will come from among them.
