Ujujoan:

Hmmmn! First time I'm hearing something positive from a 'runaway'  

As for me, the only thing that worries me about this country is the security. People have lost value for life. People get killed on the streets and nothing is being done about it. Lives are wasted unnecessarily and the government is indiffernt! It's sad!

This is not true David.
However, anything is possible in fantasy world.

Your post is littered with suppositions.

And saying someone can earn 10 times what they earn in Amereica is just way over the top.

Get your finances in order and live within your means.

Seemples!

we have one House of REP guy in the estate and we've had series of meetings on how to get another one (but na lie)

we contributed N15k each (per house)  to get a new transformer but we were told we needed to get approval from Alausa b4 the stuff will be given out. To get approval now is now another wahala. abeg

it was just 2 months after i paid the rent that the transformer went ballistic; i for don move commot

No amount of money can tempt me enuff when i think abt the security.

Tbh . . . there is very little money to be made here. A lot of the folks who live here are slaves to their credit card companies.

davidylan:

There is no inherent advantage to living here in the US if you already have a good degree and its passport. Very very few Nigerians on this site can boast of making anywhere close to $50,000 p.a. That is slave wages . . . you'll be on a mortgage forever, paying for your car piecemeal and watching for the repo man every second. Living on credit cards and hoping for loans to see your kids thru college.

In naija . . . you can make 10 times that amount in one month if you have the right connections. Naija here i come pretty soon! Gen or not, water or not . . . i can build my own mini-local government and enjoy myself.

David, Do you know what quality of Life means?

Ok lemme tell you I worked in nigeria in VI(In an organisation most ppl would brag about). I wake up at 4am to beat the traffic and I get home at 11pm atimes 1am whenever GO Adeboye strikes. to wake up 4am again.

No Light, bad roads, Insecurity everything my bro e no easy like dat.

You mean you want the money Nigeria has to offer, but think about the number of ppl queuing for the same thing and forget about merit, you have to grease palms. Its not as easy as you might think in most cases you end up being frustrated and run back to the NY you left behind

davidylan:

the issue of security depends on where you live. Its not so bad. You can be shot on the streets here too . . . or by a mad guy in your school.

honeric01:

girl, stop sounding as if dead body full everywhere for our street, there are places in Nigeria where you have no problem with security unless you carry thief "property" for hand, there are alot of people in other parts of Nigeria living well without security issue, if you are not the loud one, you won't attract criminals or assassins to your side, leave politics for those ready to die and live a quiet life. u no no whether i even get money pass Andy Uba

stillwater:

Security was not a problem for me where I lived in Nigeria, but water and electricity. I can't count how many times I wanted to bomb Nepa, but it never happened, ended up fighting with countless Nepa officials.

Ujujoan:

But that's the point! You dont have to live below the standard you can afford just to protect yourself from criminals. That's not fair!

@Toyin
As surprising at it may sound, despite the fact the credit has been crunched since i can remember. lol
they are just noticing it

honeric01:

reasons are because you have more hungry mouth around you than in the west, so you have to live a quiet life and don't flaunt, if you want to flaunt, then try making those around you "happy", you get my point? (Abiola style)

dayokanu:

You said the average salary in US is $50,000 what do you think the average working class Graduate in Nigeria is?

I worked in both economies and I can say its NOT better in Nigeria


On the average Lagos is more dangerous than the US. I can leave my house at 2am to the gas station. Check the road in Lagos at 2am either you are robbed by Robbers or by Police choose one.

TOPE2000!:

LMAO
The nepa thing is mind boggling. . . i mean even ghana has stable electricity.

liar!!!!
tell dem all our private convos  
when you make money today, arent you coming back to Lagos?
forget that insecurity abeg

rebranded:

Maybe if we know what makes most people leave the Country, we might be able to know our priorities in making Nigeria a Country to be proud of.

For me i left:
- To get a better Education
- Better Quality of life, comfort,etc
- To escape the Heat and the dust

dayokanu:



You know I am a full blooded Nigerian. I am not American in any way and I must always return home.

No matter how bad naija is, I would always return there Not because its better but because Its my home, Its my country.

I be hardcore ajepako. And I had fun as an ajepaks.
Hopping into Molue,
Standing in Molue,
Using my body to rub females standing in Molues ,
Eating at roadside Bukas , Going to beer parlour and shekpe joint to make noise and argue,
Going to viewing centers,
Smuggling babes inside my house to avoid my parents seeing her ,
Making animal-like sounds in the campus-Hostel at ife were my recollection of growing up.
And I enjoy it every bit of it.

tkb417:

true
na Police go rob u

honeric01:

Abi i lie? if there was less hungry mouth, she won't have to be extremely weary of security

Those who hate naija are in the majority.
