I still wonder why people still want to leave this country. Judging by what we enjoy here on daily basis, compare it to what we see and hear from abroad, men I prefer here.

Who tha hell wants to pay 5 dollars for a litter of gas? That's more than a thousand Naira oh.

The money they pay for rent for a month abroad is what some people pay for a year in VGC and other estate on the Island.

Kenn55:


You see the problem. A lot of you don't understand how things work abroad and you just swallow what you read as fact.

First of all, US does not sell fuel in litres ,they sell in gallons. So the money you quoted is for gallon not litres. Besides fuel prices are down now so it is cheaper now than months ago.

Abeg no vex, what do you enjoy in Nigeria? You funny oooo

manikspears:


Don't mind them, minimum wage is $31k per year na cleaner and messenger work be that o.....oya convert am to naira how many graduates dey make that kind money per year for naija? Even if you consider the purchasing power.

uuzba:

I studied a bit in UK and worked small.
Like joke, I no just see that money.
As a student, you can only do part time work, ie 4hrs a day - £500 monthly. And E finish.
After graduation, I was doing 8 hrs a day. about £900 monthly. E still finish.
Rent, transport, gas heating (because of terrible cold), food, visa fees, school fees...
You can't just only work.
You must do another runs to get paper. And that one will chop the remaining of your money.
1, 2, 3, 4 years? Na im I kukuma return like that.

You will just be working as a slave.
Earn money, carry all and pay debts
Earn again, pay debts again!!
over and over and over till you are old.

Confused criminals at the National Assembly, making useless laws that has made Nigeria backward,

I am just mad and stupid because I can't contribute properly without insult, l have the brain of a piglet because of the hardship my useless leaders has bequeathed on my life and l am a frustrated hungry idiot dying of hunger in the shithole call Nigeria

Lade18:


Some of you are just mad and stupid. Wetin you gain for Nigeria? Coming from someone who went to school for free. Someone who don't pay electricity bill, Water bill, who don't pay taxes in Nigeria. Someone who violate law and game the Nigerian system.

I pray most of you get to see the evil you preach on here

Uzomarrr12345:
When people say , go abroad because of Quality education and top notch healthcare… I just Dey laff

First of all , Most UK universities charge dia OWN LOCAL citizens about £7,000 pounds per session as tuition fees (Over 5 million naira)

Many of you studied in Nigeria Government universities and did not spend pass 100k as tuition fees from year 1 to final year …

And una Dey shout Quality education…

Even with the 100k school fees , most of our graduate doctors from these 100k unis in Nigeria are still being employed in US , UK … of course , they won’t employ you if they don’t deem you qualified…

Uzomarrr12345:
And as for the healthcare, let’s stop deceiving ourselves…

If you get money, you go fit access better healthcare even for this Nigeria…

Some of us don’t even understand the loophole we enjoy in this country …

Nigeria is one of those countries , where you can make 4million naira monthly and pay almost nothing as TAX.

Kenn55:


Abeg no vex. Are you referring to me or someone else? I don't understand your problem with me.
Do you mean that it is a good thing not to pay bills? I don't get it.

Lade18:


I am a useless idiot May me and my entire family members be unfortunate.and miserable all through 2023 and may me and my family continue to suffer all kinds of misfortunes in Nigeria and may Buhari make me useless

elijah101:
but they choose to work over there instead of here ... why ...

Lade18:


You place curses on Nigeria like it's your water because you're in the abroad. The same Nigeria where u went to school for free without paying a dime. Same nigeria where you don't pay your bills and you use free electricity, free everything. Just continue

BigBashiru:


Thanks for speaking the truth. Also not every single government official in Nigeria is corrupt...

Nigerians will travel to America or western world, leave their 3 bed apartment to live in combo apartment, the size of closet. the kind of house they will not stay in Nigeria. The reason is that the cost of this combo apartment per month is your one year 1 bed apartment rent in Nigeria inside life . Meanwhile, they will take pictures in front of skyscrapers building and post on social media

I left my mansion in Nigeria to come stay in a condo yes I can tell u why.In that my mansion everyday when I open my gate,I see hungry looking ppl around me,I see insecurity staring at me,I see dirty and unhealthy environments around me.I left my 4 cars in Nigeria I use Uber here but I’m happier.Why do u think life expectancy in Nigeria is one of the lowest in the whole world.Some of us didn’t come here to make money,we just came to live a better life.
