Another man who can't leave the shores of Nigeria praising mediocrity grin

It's hilarious when I see Nigerians type rubbish like this
Anyway I am Sure you have been denied visa multiple.times or banned from reapplying grin
This one is trying to console himself because he will.never be allowed into the states despite trying multiple times grin

Listen this is so old , we all know your type , a country like Nigeria where the people are do depressed that young people have no choice but to go with the flow of mediocrity
For your information suicide is on the increase in Nigeria check your national bureau for the data and at the current rates it's rising very soon Nigeria will be the number Rome suicide nation, not counting sucixe bombers o grin

That's how the other day one lecturer was blaming Western countries for the current suicide trend in Nigeria
grin

Please sometimes it pays to shut up than type no sense like this

No one begged you to leave Nigeria ! So why disturb everyone with this rubbish?
If you have been denied visa so many times don't commit suicide or go on an anti relocation rant stay in your village and sell fanyogo grin

Leave those relocating alone , some of us would be no where if not for the chances we got in developed countries

So use yours and remain in nnsuka or is it ibadan

Nobody asked you for your opinion

You are free to jump my post if it annoys you. I have applied for U.S. visa twice but was denied, Ist is training that I had to reschedule to Dubai, the other time I wanted to attend my brother's graduation, when I get married and grow older, I'll get it straight. My dad that cannot even speak English fluently was given and my younger siblings. Ogbeni my parents has over 100ppl on their payroll, I am always busy, I don't need US visa to go and do what? I am fulfilled here in Nigeria and I want many other Nigerians to work on making their country better.

I look at our lives in Africa with so much difficulty. People spend half of their lives in Africa fighting 2 find a living. Many struggle 2 feed&find purpose but they keep keeping on. Compare that with that with this guy who became all he could ever wanted in life. Was married twice, had a kid, was accomplished in his career, travelled d world, met world leaders, ate all kinds of food, impacted&brought joy 2 others, yet he still took his life. These oyibo people de wonder me


Such is life! It reminds me of a poem- 'Richard Corey' whom everybody wished they were in his place. People were shocked when he committed suicide by pulling a damned trigger to his head. Lesson: Never wish to be like someone else. Every dog has its day.

You did not read my Original post. 1st I said I have a brother in the US, 2. I said it's good to travel 3. I said if you can't leave etc. This will tell you I am not against it. What I am saying is that it is not always as good as it looks, secondly there are a lot of ppl that will do well in Nigeria that are struggling to travel. Moreso there's no better Joy than serving fatherland.

Life is full of mysteries. To some, having money is their ultimate sweetness of life. To some, owning properties is the best definition of life. To some, having cars and women is their final definition. While some can even kill just to be famous but this man has everything aforementioned but he still went ahead to take his most precious priceless possession. I think knowing God and worshipping him is the only source of inner peace of mind and not acquiring worldly material things.

Very sad... One needs to be careful wishing to have the kinda life these guys have.... who knew he was suffering from depression and all... I always envy the guy ooo...traveling the world... eating, drinking and enough faaji.... apparently, I am happier than him...

I don't want to be a celebrity(American Celebs that work hard for their money, I don't know about Naija own). Those guys are so insecure to the last. Who would have thought that with all the glamour and money, most of them aren't happy.. from Selena Gomez to the last of them

That's True. My Brother just informed me from the US he is the Anchor of Culinary Journeys.
Don't misunderstand me, traveling abroad is good but life is not about all the glamour you see abroad, The Suicide rate in the US is over 10x that of Nigeria. Life is about fulfillment, you can have money and not fulfilled. If you can't leave the country, stay at home and make the most out of life. For me if given the opportunity, I will not leave Naija at least not for now. I have traveled to 3 countries but I don't intend to spend most of my life outside Nigeria. I love my life back home, more so I love the No of people whose life I touch back home. There's Joy behind the everyday hustle in Naija, remember, there's no satisfaction without hunger. RIP

I always thought that if any Westerner was planning to commit suicide, they should just take a trip to Africa or developing countries, spend some time with people and they would change their mind. But if this guy who has travelled round the world really did commit suicide, then I may give up on my thoughts!

This man actually visited Lagos before. Whatever drove him to suicide must have been rough.

The world is neither fair nor unfair. Everybody is in pursuit of their happiness. It is your business to learn and pursue what is yours. But the moment you are in pursuit of your happiness, you are in natural conflict with the rest of the world. Right now, suppose I am pursuing my happiness in one direction, you are pursuing your happiness in the opposite direction, and both of us meet. What will happen? Initially, out of your education, culture and whatever else, you will say, "Please move out of my way." But I refuse to move. Then you want to gently push me to one side and go. Still, I refuse to go. Then you want to shove me and go, but I again refuse to go. The next thing is you want to shoot me. One way or the other, you want to get rid of anything that stands in the way of your happiness. You may not have the courage to shoot somebody, but you would like that person to at least somehow disappear from the planet by himself.
You are pursuing your happiness one way, and another giant of a man is pursuing his happiness the other way. If you happen to meet him and were trampled, you think the world is unfair. Suppose instead you met an ant and trampled over it, you think that is fair. Isn't that the reality of your life?Unfortunately, we are still not evolved enough to come out of the simple jungle law “survival of the fittest.” We have been implementing the same instinct from the caveman’s time to the civilized world, in different patterns, but still it is the same thing. It is still the same law. We are still not at a level of evolution where we could handle the weak gently and nurture them.
We are still functioning out of instinct and compulsions. We have to move from our instinct to our intelligence. Only then this will change. You can do this only when you are joyful by your own nature — you are not in pursuit of your happiness, your life is an expression of your happiness. Then you have no need to trample anybody. Look back at your life and see. The most beautiful moments in your life were those moments when you were expressing your happiness, not when you were pursuing your happiness. When you are in pursuit of your happiness, you are not concerned about what happens around you. You just have to get there, you are desperate to get there. When you get desperate beyond a certain point, we call you a criminal. Society allows a certain amount of crime on a daily basis, which every human being is committing one way or the other. Beyond that, they cannot tolerate it.
Life is unfair because human beings are still in pursuit of happiness. They have not become joyful, blissful beings who are expressing their joy in the world. If your whole life becomes an expression of your joy, not pursuit, then you would walk very gently upon this planet
