I live in one of the New England states in America. One of the intriguing things about these states is the naming of the cities and town. A vast majority of the towns are named after England.
You gonna see names like New Hampshire, Manchester, New London etc

Oh no wonder... The names of the street made it seem like you live in england ☺️

you’re just so ignorant. That guy is in his mid 30s. He dyed his hair and beards. About the comment of fighting him, I meant a verbal fight. I’m an too civilized to be go physical with anybody
I reacted to your comments about mentioning is nationality because your people ain't good to strangers . My cousin is from delta and just this year he and some non Edo indigenes who have worked in Edo state for 5years being a contract staff where told to go to there state to get jobs . Just tell me now what's the different between Edo and delta state ?

Well, sort of.

I've used greyhound twice. First time was uneventful from Orlando to Atlanta Night bus so I slept all the way.
Second time the bus smelled of piss (from the toilet) and it wasn't pleasant at all.

Just move on okay . Don't pour out your frustrations on me . I'm not the reason why you guys still live in dark age or backward in your reasoning . Asaba was a baby to Benin in terms of creation but I will tell you this that the development in Benin is at under par when compare to asaba yet you still condemned and become vicious to yellow fellow citizens.

He's right, I lived in the US for 16yrs, when the opportunity came that I had to return Nigeria when my organization started full operations here, I was selected. Initially I wasn't happy about it but now I do not regret moving back here. If you're comfortable financially, Nigeria is not as bad as you all paint it online.
statements like this irk me. How many people in Nigeria are as comfortable as you are? The reality of about 90% of the pple who aren't as privileged as you, is so easily rubbished by you cos you have a posh life. Abeg. Newsflash! Every country on the surface of this earth is not so bad when you have money. Imagine the statement from this dude propped up in his luxury apartment, luxury car and well paid job 'Nigeria not so bad as you all paint it'. Nonsense

Pay most of them no mind. You'd be surprised they are equally as frustrated as every other struggling average Nigerians who're tired and eager to migrate.. Most of them don't have international passport and probably haven't even been to the local airport in the state..

It's like someone like Davido who's an American citizen by birth but residing mostly in Nigeria because of his line of work saying there's no difference between America and Nigeria.. To someone like David it could be the truth only because he's that privilege enough to escape should push ever comes shove...

As better a country as China than Nigeria, the number of Chinese people applying for residency in America triple the number of Nigerians if not more self.

millions of people in Nigeria are more comfortable than Springboot..

Nigeria didn't start in the year 1960, millions of Nigerians have generational wealth..

your comment reeks of envy..

he doesn't need to live in a luxury apartment or have a luxury car or well paid job to make comments... As long as his working and he can pay his bills and have savings then he can live comfortably and its the same for anyone...

your problem is you want to live a luxury life, own a luxury car and have a well paid job before you believe you're living comfortably and that's a negative mentality to have...

from this your comment, Your other problem is you're ready to verbally attack and most likely also physically attack Nigerians that you assume are doing better than you...

that he said he lived in the U:S does not mean its true as anyone can say anything online but its likely true as I said a lot of Nigerians have generational wealth especially if you come from a family whose grand parents were university educated and even great grand parents were university educated.

lots of mumbo-jumbo. First, I envy no one. Second, what you FAILED to comprehend is that you can't rubbish the glaring realities of the vast majority cos you are in the privileged few. I suspect you may be a politician, and if you aren't, you are no different..they are the ones who are low in comprehension and only see life thru the prism of their posh lives. To the Nigerian politician, Nigeria is Eldorado and hunger no dey. I pray you get the point now. Bye.

Seriously? With all the insecurities, kidnappings, police harassments, irredeemable corruptions, incessant killings, dieing health care we all experience in this country?

Please, tell me another thing. We are not safe in this country. Any day you wake up and see a new day, thank God.
