NOETHNICITY: All you niggas care about in this life is just ya own pockets, money,money and money. Do you guys ever care about your environment? Do you niggas ever care about your infrastructure? Do you guys ever care about the disable, the poor etc? Do you guys ever care about your institutions?No wonder politicians will not do anything while in office but will bring out billions to share during elections because they know that is where the interest of the people is. For Africa to move forward, we must first understand that the strength and attractiveness of a country lies on it general wealth (environment, institutions, infrastructures etc) and not on individual wealth of people earning 500k a month. If assassins invade ya house and you have 5 mins to get help and survive, a poor man in America will simply dial 911 and get the police to rescue him while a rich man in Nigeria will die with his 500k salary. If you have the money to access world class hospitals in time of emergency, it will take 6 hours to get to a hospital in Europe while it will take 10 mins for a poor man in Europe to access the same hospital the rich Nigerian man is running to for the same issue. What I am saying is that money is not the all and all, a lot of things are higher up in the ladder for some people than just money in the bank which could be useless in a shithole. 10 Likes |

NOETHNICITY:for u to be comfortable in nigeria u have to have ur own water supply,ur own security,ur own light. for u to install ur own water pump in ur compound will cost money and for yu to purchase a very good generator like a lister generator will also cost money and for u to have ur own security u will also pay money for vigilante since nigerian police force is non existent .in nigeria ppl are dying of common headache and typoid.so for u to live a good quality of life in nigeria like even an ordinary gas attendant in USA u will have to have money like otedola for u to to live dat life.imagine a waiter in a cafe in america drives a camry and its viewed as normal but when a bank manager in nigeria manages to buy a 1992 model camry he wont let us hear word again.abeg in america their quality of life is far above our own. 4 Likes |

milehigh06:Bros, I repeat for the umpteenth time, this thread isn't about job specifics Mind you I'm not a gman Yahoo yahoo is contrary to everything I stand for I hate it with a passion Bro, you ve mentioned virtually every branch of occupation, but u failed to talk about genuine biznes. People are raking millions from biznes particularly in Lagos where am based. I plan on quitting my job soon and entering biz full time. But I pray for Gods guidance as I consider that. Let me give you an instance I know of Last year, I stood as guarantor in a loan of 2million to someone who worked in a government org. Dude went into agriculture and he made 10mill Dude paid off his loan on a single instalment He resigned from his job and has gone into full time agriculture Now let's do the maths 10,000,000/12= that's over 800k monthly And you want that guy to go to USA to start sweeping streets |

lefulefu:What re you talking about My sisters husband doesn't use NEPA light, has his own domestically installed borehole, yet he's just an ordinary millionaire who probably doesn't have more than 20 million in his account He installed a solar power system which in total didn't cost more than 3million. This solar system powers his air conditional and his borehole The only he doesn't have is personal security. I stayed with them for 4months when I moves to lag in 2017 and till date no incident or any form of attack on them |

NOETHNICITY: Really glad you hate gmen with a passion for sane can be said here Also..not everyone sweep streets and ps sweeping streeys wont get you jack..simple as that..i will drive a truck making about 4k monthly rather than sweep streets to make peanuts Now you just spoke of someone going into agriculuture in nigeria..i actually have a friend who owns a farm in ogun state and doing good while my bro has a farm as well in lagos(mini farm)... And i am actually thinking of doing same but how many nigerians have that option and how many have a 2nd option to fall on...how many people have the choice of knowing someone to stand in for them.. |

NOETHNICITY:ur sister's husband can aquire all that cos he is rich but then how many ordinary nigerians can afford to aquire such.abi u no know say d ordinary clerk working in a govt establishment or the lady hustling in d market for like such a life.a common gas attendant in the US can get 24 Hrs power and good water supply plus his own ride plus good food but another gas attendant living in nigeria will be drinking red mud water from well plus he will be flying bikes and eating stale food tainted by big fat green flies from food vendors hawking from wheelbarrows.thats d quality of life for most nigerians srry to say. 2 Likes |

EmagNig: That is one of the "dangers of a single story." The media has always told one story (in the negative light about Africa). And those who do not have a balanced view of both ends readily believe them. |

Why do they keep saying Africa instead of the various countries In Africa? Imagine comparing A continent and a Country and you wonder why most Americans and Europeans are ignorant to the fact that Africa is a continent and not a country or a small village. |

Africa is a home of good people....we are the reformed giants...the era of uncivilized acceptance from the white views have gone....it is really absolutely mind blowing seeing from the positive side of our land...whites aren't better than us...they were only oppoturned because their lands were the bedrock of men of faith...it was a blessed land right from onset...this gave them the opportunity to see light before us...but right now....the opportunity has been made available to all...that is why we go to their countries and be the leader nearly almost sectors there...is it in music...blacks are the one rising most...is it medical administration...blacks are making the most...is it in scientific discoveries ....blacks are making the best right now...we both have the same brain....it is just that we were not channel to the right path from the onset...but the reality now is that....we are moving forward too...people kept on complaining about Nigeria zig-zagness ...yeah...shortcomings are really bringing us back here...which is majorly from our leaders...changes come first from the top not the beneath....let our leaders showcase sincerity to the laws and society and let the greater exploits from the citizens show forth....when leaders are not reinforcing their followers...there is always a problem...it is only those that can see farther that can still bringforth a little change....we need a solidified change...God bless Nigeria..... |
