nairalandposter:
I'm looking for a post where somebody was complaining Nigerians come home from abroad, spend money then return overseas, and they pity Nigerians at home but don't say it out loud.

I wanted to respond to that but I didn't note the moniker and I can't find the comment now. Anyone know where/who it is?

How much did you pay before you curse Nigeria, did you pay N50,000 for your tuition?

Maybe you don't know that Atiku's University, Covenant, Babcock and Igbenidion can boast of quality facilities like
these yet they're not as expensive. As you have decided to invest your money in Canadian education what is the need for this backlash? are students like you not paying tuition in the universities I mentioned above? carry your negativity away from here jor

Mizwisdom:
Mention any African university that pays zero tuition, don't forget Nigeria is in Africa and not Europe. I believe the poster mentioned that he's in Canadian university why did you bring up a European example?, let him also mention the tuition fee he paid, his story is not complete. Some UK universities cost as high as €30,000, why isn't it free? we keep comparing ourselves with the best in the world, failing to realize that these people colonized countries like us, they're world powers, no African or black country is a world power for now but don't write us off yet, we will get there

jaeyking:

the fees of a Canadian studying is about 7000 dollars averagely.
convert that to naira. its about 2.5million.
so what are u saying

CaseSensitive:
My class yesterday in UK, its no news that technology advancement, amenities and overall educational system in Western Universities can't be compared to the ones we have back home. I love that country to death but our leaders made it a dream killer for millions of talented youths. Congratulations though for getting out of there.

While you might have a point, I tend to disagree sir.... Till the mentality changed, even if you pay a billion Naira as school fees in Nigeria, it will never look like what you see in those pictures for obvious reason of our lack of taking care of anything, Most black countries are just horrible with maintenance and that is why you will see a billion Naira home in Nigeria and you will shake your head.
Unlike in sane countries where people and the government yearly look for how to better the nation but my dear Nigeria people believes in “If it is not broken, why fix it”

Yet, it is the same Nigerians that maintain it, o! It is just the level of supervision that is different!

pansophist:
So how can you explain other countries that have free tuition for their citizens and international students with better quality educational system than Canada (eg Finland, Germany and Norway) ?

Regardless if Nigerians decide to pay one millions naira per annum, the system is rotten. If Nigeria decides, it can provide this high quality level for its citizen for free.

Please sir, do not exaggerate. Why is it that private universities have superior and well maintained facilities compared to public universities? Once you are prepared to pay good money for high standards, and you put the right people in charge, you will definitely get those high maintenance standards that you desire.

Have you been to ABTI American University Yola, Baze University Abuja, Pan-Atlantic University, Lekki, Lagos or Christopher University Mowe, or Augustine University, Ilaria in Epe to see their facilities? Even that small Lagos Business School (LBS) takes preventive maintenance so seriously. And their facilities have remained top-notch for over 10 years!

Their students pay a lot of money for tuition and those facilities are well maintained yearly, no shaking! Fact!

What you pay for, is what you get. Private-sector led institutions, are better managed and maintained, than public institutions.

Yet, it is the same Nigerians that maintain it, o! It is just the level of supervision that is different!

Even in Nigeria, go to Shell head office, Oando Wings Complex that houses their new HQ in Victoria Island, Stanchart Head Office all in Lagos etc, and spot the difference. They take maintenance seriously, and ensure standards are maintained.

Let him enjoy the phase

Most Nigerians will be unfortunate to live and die in that failed country without experience of how a sane society should look like or how it feels

So let him enjoy his "JJC" phase

Bros, show me the pictures of those schools and offices mentioned in your write ups because i have NOT seen them neither have i been there, so show me some pictures and let us analyze together
By the way, i never said NONE is ok in Nigeria but if 99.9% is pathetic then, it means most is just pathetic and mind you, i am not proud of how horrible things are in Nigeria, all i am saying is that till we are honest and say enough is enough, we will keep going around in circle.
Nigeria is in trouble and till we take the power away from people that don't give a damn, this will continue, imagine a nation where the president have to travel out of his own country for medical checkup, don't you think such country already failed? Or a nation where almost all the kids of those that matters are schooling out of the country and you making the father of such kids to be the minister of education, what can he or she minister?
Show me some pictures and we will take it from there.

The issue is not necessarily the pictures, but the fact one would expect the op and those who agree with him, to know they should expect quality service or whatever they are looking for, considering the amount they paid as well as the effort to travel abroad.

The pictures he showed are duplicated in countless places across the globe, including Nigeria, even if the Nigerian ones are insufficient for the population.

I should show you pictures? Don't you have access to the internet? Look them up.

The problem is that some of you ' diasporean' Nigerians are so out of touch with current events and developments in Nigeria, that when you start your usual bad-mouthing of the country because you are unable to offer constructive solutions, you end up sounding funny.

Those of us on ground in Naija, can see the reality and the places where things are working here, in the private sector.

The people building and maintaining these things are Nigerians, they don't have 2 heads. How come they are able to maintain the buildings beautifully for private sector conglomerates, but they cannot do it on other sectors?

It is just focus, funding, and supervision.

The President travels abroad because he feels like doing so, and he has state funds at his disposal to do so. He could have spent the money fixing hospitals here, if he wanted.

Didn't his wife Aisha also say the same thing last year, that she wanted to do an x-ray, but the State House medical clinic lacked a functional unit?

The doctors there told her to go abroad and do it. Imagine! The amount of money that would have been wasted. She refused and later went to a private hospital in Abuja to do it.

In this same country where public hospitals are not functioning well, we have the Reddington hospitals, St.Nicholas hospitals, Lagoon hospitals, Babcock Tristate Medical Centre, doing well and breaking new grounds even though they are highly expensive.

Are you aware that China just celebrated 70 years while we just did 59 years and yet, China is NOT a nation that will speak and the world will pretend NOT to hear, while Nigeria is still depending on aids all over the place, China is financing the world while Nigeria is borrowing money left, right and center but yet you think Nigerians in abroad are just making noise . . .Meaning China is only 11 years older than us .

Fhemmmy:

[b]When i read your comment/response, i was a little confused because the first part of your message was like "All is working well" while the later part is complaining like me and the rest are doing that things are NOT working in Nigeria, You called it running down the country Nigeria while anyone that knows that Nigeria should better than where it is will be be upset and speak up.

Bros, Nigeria has ALL it takes to be a great nation but our foolishness and dumbness in electing leaders will NEVER allowed it.
For your information, i was just in Nigeria and what i saw was nothing to write home about, what i saw was a shame for a nation with such resources, population and wealth, what i saw is a shame to be called a home despite all we have and can do, and that is to tell you that, i am not making assumptions based on what i see on the internet
Can i ask you what and what is involved in maintenance of a facility because it seems like just sweeping and moping is what you allay to be it sir.[/b]

CeterisXVII:

You were just in Nigeria? Really? shocked And what part of Nigeria were you in? Because you are totally unfamiliar with most of the developments in Nigeria going by the statements you have been making here.

CeterisXVII:

You lot stay in your enclaves abroad, constantly disparaging Nigeria and dragging her through the mud, with no single constructive solution to offer....either in writing, or by doing.

CeterisXVII:


Meanwhile, we have Nigerians who live here at home daily, breaking their backs to earn a living, to contribute tangibly, to make their environment better, than they found it. And get no thanks for it.

There are Nigerians carrying out preventive maintenance on a daily basis, in high-end projects and buildings, doing HVAC work, fabrication, pressure testing, structural checks etc, and you sit behind your keyboard to spew invectives on Nigeria, because that is all you are good at.

CeterisXVII:

Visit Eko Atlantic City and see what full-blooded Nigerians are doing there daily.

Visit Tristate Heart and Vascular Centre, in Babcock and see heart specialists putting their talent, brains and energy at work to save lives, while you just go around dissing everything you see about Nigeria, because you are too lazy to put one finger of effort down, to do your bit to improve her lot!

Go to a company like Nestoil where one man has invested millions employing over 1,500 Nigerians, and has built a world class facility that is maintained solely by Nigerians.

Or is it LADOL, we should talk about that fabricated the Samsung carrier for the Engine project? Google it, if you can.
