It's inevitable. As someone that have travelled far and wide, it saddens me alot. Even countries that in global standards are considered poor/third world are miles ahead of Nigeria. You'll see that they have basic things like sewage, electricity, safety, and a clear pathway to development. City well planned, a sense of national unity, healthy patriotism, and still able to live good if you're part of the upper class in the society.

In Nigeria, even with your money and ability to carve out a mini heaven for yourself, you'll still suffer. Its inescapable. If countries are like humans, then Nigeria is an imbecil.e, even in the next hundred years, it will only get older, but won't mature and reach proper human development. Other tired world countries are like babies, they are not there yet, but with time, they will mature. I weep for my country.

Grace001:
Ashamed is an understatement....

With the suffering and smiling lifestyle that most Nigerians have adopted as a way of life, they can only imagine good life of see it on tv.

They will just jejely accept their fate

I'm disappointed to be a Nigerian, not gonna lie. I reason the same thing, almost all the time. Nigeria has a lot of Natural Resources, even more than some of these big European countries. We gained independence before countries like China, and yet, they are still very far and highway above our league. It's very disappointing. Is it how the black man is? It's almost the same way in every other African country. Why are we like this? There isn't even any Country in Africa that can compete with the least developed country in Europe not to talk of the most developed. It's very disappointing.

RuudVanNisteroy:

South African and Namibian cities can compete and the Arab Africans cities in Algeria,Tunisia,Morocco are better than many cities in Eastern Europe.

Luigi03:

Name the countries that they are better than

I'm ashamed of being a Nigerian here in my house, not to talk of when I travel abroad.

Yobabad:
Local Yoruba Muslims will soon come and start beging for unity and one Nigeria here and there

See them trying to claim righteous.

Nigerians in Nigeria behave similarly abroad.

1. Nigerians abroad fight in the streets.
2. Many Nigerians abroad are scammers, prostitute and drug dealers.
3. Nigerians abroad do immigration fraud.
4.Let a group of Nigerians move into a peaceful neighborhood abroad, that place will turn into a lousy place.

Nigerians abroad think they are better than Nigerians at home but the reality is they are both the same.

One is nagging and leeching off another society while the other is busy destroying their home country. If you put them together, what will they produce, a diaster

I can bet my life that if a Nigerian town was in every European countries plusvthe United states, that place will be just as disorganized as Nigeria.

If the one abroad decides to come home, the main job is to steal and to show off.

The one abroad is all about nagging and leeching off another society while the other at home is busy destroying their home country. If you put them together, what will they produce, a diaster.

Both can't even build a nation, their main job is to complain from morning to night..

RuudVanNisteroy:

We eye to eye for the first time and agree wholeheartedly to an extent with what you have stated. However, the immigration requirements for countries most popularwith Nigeria is meant to bring about brain drain and the country losing the most wealthy and intelligent in the nation. The number of criminals that scrape through abroad don't have papers and got abroad through immigration frauds such as false assylum claims.

Lets be realistic, how many Nigerians are contributing to the development of their host countries Most are leeching off the system or adding to the population.

To be sincere, are you trying to tell me that all those who went abroad through the right path are all wealthy and intelligent, that is false, many are still worst off, only a very few are making an impact in their host countries.

[s]You're not a Nigerian, you're a Biafran.
Biafrans have no rights in Nigeria, in fact your passport should be revoked.[/s]

RuudVanNisteroy:

Countries like Botswana,Namibia are miles ahead of us and they are considered third world.

I always envied other Africans when they talked with excitement about going back home for Christmas. They talked with a level of confidence knowing they likely won't have to worry about encountering kidnappers,ritualists or armed robbers and have encounters with armed police,customs officials and soldiers that will extort them.

RuudVanNisteroy:

There is no free lunch in any developed country. And many Nigerians are making impact in their host countries; there is no denying the fact that many are still worse off and relying on investments from Nigeria they inherited or sold to stay afloat.

It is tough to survive abroad if you are not in a stable sector like healthcare working as a nurse,doctor,pharmacist, dentist or in the Information Technology were the demand will always be high.

What is stopping Nigerians from nation building like you highlighted.

RuudVanNisteroy:

This is one of the reasons that makes me ashamed of being a Nigeria the primitive tribalism.
