SIRTee15:


No need for all this straw argument....
Everybody knows the best country for a nigerian is nigeria.....
But when those living outside the country seem well off compared to those back home on average, emigration is inevitable....
All this talk of few Nigerians abroad living like a pauper won't deter nobody.....

Nigerian doctors are emigrating in droves....
The few upper middle class in nigeria are resigning in multinationals and leaving for Canada...
If this class of people can leave, then it shows the feeble faith nigerians have in the their country....
Telling struggling n fustrated Nigerians to stay put is pointless....
People are leaving this country not because of any greener pastures.....
It has more to do with escaping poverty and the seemingly obvious uncertainty.....
The solution to this problem is building a viable and prosperous economy capable of lifting millions out of poverty, building a sustainable as well as a reproducible middle class......
We can start by paying our underclass workers a living wage that can actually take them home till month end....
That will be a good step....
Telling people to stay put and continue the struggle wont work.....

mofedamijo:

You are absolutely right, and that was what i pointed out, be ready to show some certificates to get jobs, Nigerians use to have healthy beef with southies b4 now,unfortunately since this group of hooligans came in, it has been a battle, i was only trying to correct someone who is saying 100k entry job, we were once respected, now the reverse is the cases, getting a job of R20k now is an issue, not necessarily that you’re not a southie,but because the image is nothing to write home about, hoping on my second citizenship soonest by Gods grace.....

Macabinha:


R100k jobs for a Nigerian in SA?
Maybe a Nigerian professor who lectured in the USA for more than 20years and is relocating to Africa... and after deductions maybe R80k and medical aid is waiting,

Even if you get it you will not last long, because you are a Nigerian..
expect R15k - R30k with your work permit or ID and experience.

DeWisedon:
and some f*ols will come here now to blame the church because they built auditorium,

Help me ask daddy freeze if it is the duty of the church to buy weapons for Nigerian army?

Time for Jubrin to go

GavelSlam:


You are the only one trying to be analytical.

The others are simply being emotional.

vingeophysicist:
Cost of living in a country cannot be uniform. There are places in South Africa you can rent a house with even 50k per year. I know you have never left the shore of this country that is why you think everyone is blind like you.

wiseone28:

That's the benefit of having white people running their country for long...if it was only blacks they wouldn't have been different from Nigeria

movetoca:

I don't exchange words with filthy dogs. Go and meet your mates you piece of sh!t. Quote me again and you will regret the day you were born. Imbec!le

Macabinha:

what is the population of USA?
let us call a spade a spade...
Nigeria produces about 1.3 trillion litres of crude per day.... how much is that...?
we can do better...
we can improve our seaports services to allow people do business and open companies.
we can have research funds for projects, not recycling undergraduate projects that has no impact on the economy.
our banks can issue loans for small businesses ( that's what drives SA economy. . over 60% of SA whites own their companies), houses and cars.

To mention in SA anyone legal entity (not blacklisted or illegal) who has a credit history ... I mean even paying DSTV qualifies for a loan.

This generation must change the face of Nigeria

jmaine:


Buhari is absolutely useless and lifeless.

GavelSlam:
2.5 million barrels of oil daily.

obonujoker:
How exactly is Nigeria the giant of Africa??.

winj3:


You should weep for the stupid citizens, nothing wrong with the name or the country...just useless poor quality citizens who lack basic commonsense!

Pavore9:
Nigeria is truly"broda agabaya"!

Newway2:


Agbaaya & not "agabaya"..� �

Pavore9:


Wow, I didn't check the spelling!

Dis na mess up for a Lagos born and raised o, all the Alawiye no go be waste o!

Newway2:


Alawiye omo nna to'nko fuji

Pavore9:


Na im we use for primary school, my Yoruba classes ended in J S S 3.

Macabinha:


I believe you guys calling Nigeria a shit hole haven't travelled to a developed country before... you will appreciate Nigeria better when you feel the pain of an illegal immigrant.
I will like you to get this in less than a handful Nigerians can be offered a job in developed countries if they apply from Nigeria OR you wish to go as a student and then what's the next plan.

Refugee status is not for Nigerians...
Don't be a victim of illegal migration. Because your basic rights will not exist. you will not be able to rent a house, get a job, get a bank account, walk freely, even register a SIM card in your name...
please let us build our nation.
before you guys waste 5years of your life.

Macabinha:


Home will always be home... although SA looks good... you will understand what happens when you arrive.
you will feel the breeze that you have no right here...even in the bus you can't talk to the driver or sit where you like at times, you can't even wear a native shirt without been asked for documentation most times, if you are a Nigerian you must always be ready to make a plan even if all your documents are right.... Don't even think of having an accident with a south African.... there will show you this is not your home.... here you stand on one foot like a chicken in its new home.
In Nigeria you got all the freedom you need and If we all reason alike we can make Nigeria great.

Macabinha:


Do you know why South Africans excel?
most of them don't believe in religion. They believe in honesty and dignity.
Nigeria own na church every corner but na we had pass..

Newway2:



Your yoruba is actually good. Some yoruba folks can't even match your dexterity.

I remember another "omo nna" classmate in my school days that was even talking with yoruba proverbs because he grew up with local pple while I grew up in an academic community.

He used to mess me up then. But, we don overcome all that

Ihaveleftnaija:


Tribalism is a serious problem in Nigeria, the disgusting part is that it's now mainly practiced by the so called educated youth . I give up.

Princedapace:


Guy leave me alone na. There is no way on earth will u compare SA to Nigeria.

In Nigeria, how many people earn at 3k per day?

How many legitimate hustle pays 2 to 3k per day. Averagely, fresh graduates in Nigeria earn between 30k to 50k per month..

He will pay a rent in a cheap place in Nigeria, a self contain goes for 120k to 200k per year. With 50k per month, he or she will be earning 600k before tax per year.

He pays cheap house rent of 150k for self con. This just a below average life bro. No one really prays for this picture. Sadly, many graduates are living like this.

From that same salary, he has family members who needs tips from him each month. That is the reality in the country. Many people divide their salary to solve one extend family problem or the other..

He pays for internet which is never enough. Average, Nigerians spend 2k per month on low internet usage. That is 24k per year.

He buys food stuff. He buys clothe, he transport. He pays for electricity and still buys fuel to generate more power. He falls sick and treat him self. He doesnt have free health care. Food items are expensive compared to his earning.

Cheap cost of living comes with extremely poor salary. Many banks pay graduate 35k per month. Telcom outsourced firms pay graduates 25k per month..

Graduates hardly flex life. They cant afford it. I dont know what ur arguments are. Some of u just like to argue.

NaijaRoyelty:
And some suffer and smiling Nigerians still want the useless man back in 2019.

Nowenuse:


Yeah, our fathers have sown these seeds into us.
The only way out is restructuring.

VIPERVENOM:
126k in south Africa can only give u a month's rent & 1 litre of fuel. Dat same amount in Nigeria can give u A YEAR'S RENT and enough change to buy you foodstuff and fuel for a few weeks. So see where I'm going? Cost of living is what I'm talking about.

mofedamijo:

If you don’t understand the difference between constructive criticism and argument, then thats ur ish, if you know how pple also suffer here, u will take a chill pill, Nigerians here employ some of them, and then pay them R800 monthly, unemployment rate in s.a is on the high, my major concern is letting pple know its not always greener at the other end, i have met Nigerians living in the u.k, who lives from hand to mouth, some cant even come home when they lose a love one, and at the same time we have Nigerians who can travel twice a year to the same u.k for vacation........

Toseenlove:


I'm absolutely sure u stay In face me and slap u apartment lol

Olumyco:


I can see you are angry and frustrated but that does not mean you should be talking anyhow. What you said here is invalid. The two most common factors used in measuring a country's development are Economy and Infrastructure. Nigeria is ahead of SA in Economy while they are ahead of us in Infrastructure. So what are you saying? The two Countries are the ones leading Africa in many things. So stop saying things anyhow.
You said Nigeria can't build a city like Cape Town in 400 years when Nigeria is already building Eko Atlantic City that will rival powerful cities of Dubai, US, Japan and co. Even Abuja trails Cape Town if you don't know. Cape Town is the most beautiful city in Africa and Abuja is the second most beautiful. And you should know that Cape Town was built by the Whites. Abuja was built by the blacks. Abuja is the first black city built by the blacks in the world.
Pls calm down and say things as it is.
Nigeria still has hope and by God's grace we will get there. What i want you to know is that. The two things that make a country great are:
1. The Government of the Country
2. The People of the Country

Our major problem is the Govt. and Nigeria is still a little great now not because of the govt. but the people. What will happen is if the govt. fails to make the country great, the people will do so.
