it can never get better

Hardship and insecurity

mehn its not easy

The country is a SCAM!

Are you never Intersted in modernisation in the world. Remaining a Nigerian is backward to eternity. How many police stations in Nigeria have good computers, network cables and 20hrs stable electricity to solve 10% of security issue. When you all live in darkness. No light no development.

I'd rather say lack of love for ourselves did. It's hard to see a Nigerian. We simply have nationalities bearing the name but they are more of their nations than Nigeria.

And, I find it hard to blame them. Nigeria was foisted on us all and instead of renegotiating it, those who can change it have come to see how much it helps their greed and they use it to their advantage.

For me, the country is a dead end. There is a demon around that kills potentials and dream.

I wish i have the wherewithal to escape the destiny killing nation.

As long as the 1999 constitution is still active and they won't change it that means this country will always favour one side of the coin.. and it will stop the country ability to be unlimited.

In whatever you do or intend to do in search of greener pastures, ensure not to make the same mistake I made by going the irregular way.

If you leave, the next generation from your loins won't be bothered about Nigeria because they weren't born there and you have given them a better future by relocating to a sane clime where things work.

What this country need is a bloody coup to wipe out all elements called politicians as well as make and enforce laws strictly cos the Nigerian populace is stubborn.

We all need a reset.

Lights up my kpoli in peace

NotBeenPaid:
So I came across this thread on FP and thought I write about myself a little.

https://www.nairaland.com/6969046/why-nigerians-desperate-leave-country

Just a brief timeline about my life hurdles. Not so much of a good writer, I don't talk too much. I am an introvert. So pardon my flaws. I know for sure that most persons go through a lot worse than this.

Like you I have always frowned against those leaving the country in droves. I felt like they were doing the country a de-service for not staying back to fix it together. But I was wrong all along.

Over the years as time went by after my SSCE, I was out on the street looking to make ends meet. I did a couple of menial jobs to survive. I was a sales boy in a little chemist for a couple of months but the pay was too little and so I left.

Then got another job in a fast-food restaurant as a waiter, worked round the clock for just eight thousand naira salary a month. In some months I got paid less or nothing due to shortages(those who have worked in these places know this). I was relieved of my job by the new Manager because I complained he added more task for me to do aside being waiter, I also controlled traffic within the premises, I drained out water from the soak away everyday after close of work all for just 8k a month. I was jobless for a couple months again.

Then I got another job in a club and the salary was eight thousand Naira a month. The CEO made us report to work 2pm everyday and closes 3-4am sometimes and we had no off days. He maltreated us real bad. I could remember vivid how he slapped me when he found me in the kitchen, and he wouldn't let me explain why I was taking a quick break was because I had blisters on both feet from walking around and attending to too many customers. I was completely worn out. He later relieved me of my job because of this. I became jobless again.

Then I found another job with a construction company (CCECC). Purely manual labour, here I was paid five hundred and sixty Naira a day which excluded Sundays... I resumed 7am and closed 5pm everyday. I couldn't keep up with the workload so I had to quit after 2 weeks. I was jobless again for a couple of months.

Found another job with a cleaning company. They were contracted to clean up the teaching hospital. So we were employed, we were paired 3 per units. In mine was a block in it had about 15 offices or more I think, that we had to clean up every single day. There were days too we did industrial cleaning in a newly opened block. Resumed 6am and closed 6pm everyday. Salary was just ten thousand Naira a month. Transportation alone to and fro was six thousand Naira a month. Leaving me with four thousand Naira as take home. There were also days I survived on just biscuits and water or saturated garri with groundnuts(Sipping garri). I was looking so unkempt, defeated, a walking skeleton. While on this job I got a call from a friend's Mom that her organization(State government) was looking for a cleaner.

I applied within and I got the job, so I left the other cleaning job. My salary on this new job was ten thousand Naira a month. Here, there were months I got owed for. Sometimes I was owed for 3 to 4 months without salary, the salary payment wasn't regular as the organization relied on impress to pay me. So I don't get paid when impress don't come in. I was later converted to an office boy after my Boss found out that I was good with computers/gadgets generally. Even though I never had one myself. I ran errands, did their computer jobs, managed the internet facility etc. My salary was doubled(20k) afterwards. But I still got owed even worst this time around for months. It wasn't funny at all. It affected my education because I needed money to pay my fees even though the salaries wasn't enough to pay a semester's fee and buy course materials. Feeding well/transportation was a big issue. There were days I had walk down to the office.

It got even worse after the APC government took over power, impress stopped coming in for months. I was owed 2 years, I kept writing letters asking for my money, it hasn't been paid to me up until this very moment. My colleagues were really helpful during this period, they helped out financially the little way they could. I was jobless again.

I relocated to Abuja, stayed with an Aunt with the hope that I'll find a good job after my IT. I needed to have a connection to do my IT in an organization where IT students are paid for which I didn't have any, submitted several IT application letters at NNPC, CAC and many more. Never got called up. The one guy that wanted to help out, wanted something in return($ex with my Aunt). Luckily, she spoke with one of her friends about me who knew someone in one of these organizations and that was how I did my IT and was paid 10k/month for 6months. I was loved by everyone at my unit, I learn fast, I am proficient and a problem solver(pardon me I no dey brag). I was in the ICT unit(I am a computer geek - self-taught). I discovered something while I was with the organization, too many incompetent hands, little or no experience on the job yet with huge salaries as take home. They kept reassuring me that I was going to be employed because my expertise was needed but for where them no send me oh rather they employed their own over competence.

Abeg make I stop here jare. E too plenty to type out before my thumbs go get six packs.

Modified:
While in my trying phase, my brother paid my admission fee, 3 of colleagues(2 of them are late now) also paid my school fees on different occasions(may their souls rest in peace). My girlfriend too paid my fees a couple of times.

I've been through a lot in life and wouldn't want my kids to suffer too. And Naija isn't where I want to raise a family. The tribalism, hate and religious sentiments is too much, every region prefers an incompetent leader over a competent leader from another region and the cycle continues. Naija is going to self- implode further in few more years from now. Providing basic amenities is now a rocket science in this country, insecurities, unemployment, people are dying on a daily. How much is a life a common Nigerian worth?

I can't come and kee mysef.

I have my passport handy hopefully I'll abandon this Naija before this year runs out for God1000 to help me fix am...

The country is not for people without connection or money. Even if you are a struggling guy, competent and intelligent, you would be frustrated. Most establishments private or public don't even like employing competent hands. The only exception if owner of the company or head of a government department is interested in you , you may be considered, used or dumped.
The criteria to hold important position or getting a good job in government establishment are being dumb and knowing influential people.
Military regime was not that bad. In democrazy, politicians are running the show in corrupt system and security agents and big men are abusing rights of nigerians without hope of justice.
My take if you have means of relocating legally please do it. Masses cannot invoke revolution in this country because of tribalism, religious sentiment and corruption. It is only a natural disaster or man-made disaster of global spread that can reset Nigeria.

You even get hope, me way dae ball for university after I finish over 5years no work I repeat no work, every year as u are jobless your standards start reducing if u were saying u are looking for job that pays u 100k after a year passes you reduce to 50k after another year passes you say 30k after another year passes you say any work at all you ready.

Me that at a time in my life I was every woman’s inlaw, but when I started staying years without a job nobody was calling me inlaw, one day one lady called one woman my inlaw she warned her seriously. Girls that used to die for me back then that we were friends 3quarter either stopped talking to me or started giving me levels. Even your junior go dae give u levels.

Even girl I try say make I do things with me and dz girl dae like dz she no gree fvck me, instead she later fvcked my friend another one I say make I start with refused to see me for once, like just say your condition she no gree take me seriously even to visit me she never did.

Then the opportunity came to leave, from the moment I landed just one pic on Facebook the word spread, likes inbox etc. Since I moved I find it difficult to be friends with girls cause I see them as fake and distraction u just dae face my ambition dae go. People are talking about my attitude that I act smhow am just looking at them, am like make I look una face based on say if I mistakenly go back Nigeria now call una, una gk gree pick my call.


Leave if u can but abeg no go South Africa or some other useless countries. Or if u can’t travel abroad go to another state, Lagos or Abuja or Kano or Delta or Kaduna or Ebonyi.

It depends on what works for you, if leaving the country will help you make it please do. A lot o Nigerians are still doing well here and ain't thinking of leaving the country except for holidays.

@Op, be more selective next time, even in the face of no job still go for jobs that pays better and adds value to your life. It is better to remain jobless than take some demeaning jobs in this country.

If any Nigerians who have not travelled abroad experience it for the first time, I am sure if he or she lands at MMA or FCT airport, tears will roll.

I have long give up on Nigeria and it's not my fault. Pray it works for me and my husby this year.

NamelessOGBENI:
Dear OP,

Kindly stay and make this nation great. As for us, you will always be in our hearts. We promise not to forget the memories, it was amazing but the way forward is always to japa.

So help us God, Amen.

Hatred for Igbo's cause it

Aswear

The hatred is very very concentrated (very conk)

Including everything & anything related to or near Igbo. For example Nigerdelta region just bcoz of its proximity to the southeast region nothwithstanding the fact that majority of Nigeria revenue is gotten from crude oil drilled from the region. Go to civil service/government ministries u will see adults exhibiting pure hatred on their fellow countryman bcoz they are from this or that region. I just tire.

It is just a depression big for nothing country with one of the highest number of the most useless individuals. As in na yeye country.

The constitution is a curse planted by fraudulent military leaders.

It birthed the fraud called INEC with his fraudulent voters register.

It gives thieving rogues the opportunity to represent Nigerians in the national assembly and harvest jumbo pays while making daft laws that don't change anything.

No be say you don even travel out?

Nothing works in this country. Nigeria is nothing but a shithole.

The people who genuinely want to fix this country are being pushed away by enthic and tribal dingbats. This country is lost cause. Know that and know peace

There are ways to start a business with no money. All you're doing is providing a good or service that has a viable market. You could use stuff people discard. You could do something that requires no product. He worked with tons of different people, I'm sure he gathered useful knowledge on them and their businesses.

Who will allow you fix it? If you join govt will you be promoted for performance or because you are Fulani? Even to get admission to the best govt schools will you be marked by the same standard as Fulani states? Are you not aware Fulani are the new colonial masters after the British? If you are not Fulani keep fooling yourself you will be allowed to contribute to development

If they can come together and be less greedy and change it, then Nigeria is up for a change or else nothing will happen we will continue in this current poverty and struggling that common man face everyday.
