@Kunlaxo
You forgot to include that naija na one kind place wey u fit fork as many girls as u wish without any fear or favour.
Twosome, 3 sum and foursome, na your choice which one u prefer.
Naija rocks!!!I can't wait to be in naija this xmas.
Canada can wait
[color=#990000][/color]

ya, if u r not successful with canadian women who r equal to ya and mostly have more money than you, run to naija poor girls with ur money and entice them to fork ya with ur money or with 'i'm from abroad crap'!!
why can u not have a twosome or five-some in canada? at about $500 anyone can call an escort line with a mastercard and ask them to send down 4 girls, black, white asian , native and redhead at $120 per one per hour and you can have a foursome with them without questions and if any of them do not want to do it, u just call for a replacement, all from the comfort of ur house!! is that not the same thing in naija but just different logistics, !

People can say what they like. I´ve achieved up to an extent. I have my family here, own my home,business here and in Nigeria, and I still pray that God bless me more. But I´m not in the mood to return to naija. Armed robbers have been to my house two times in the last 4 years.

I'm not waiting for him. Nigeria is just a nation that has completely lost her bearing. Our problem is just getting started, wait until all developed nations found a solution to do away with oil and you will see real trouble for Nigeria. Most of our oil customers are doing research on daily basis for alternative energy and once they find it, Nigeria is gone. A nation that depend, steal, fixated, blind etc on one source of income is sitting on gunpowder. And the people that makes meager N200K per month will come here running their mouth as if Nigeria has a future.

Dude please why don't you just shut your dirty trap and let those who find pride and joy in their fatherland continue to do so without your ignorant, spiteful hatred of your country?

Brainless cow, the 'abroad' you're in, you think it was not once worse than Nigeria? Less than a century ago, were people not dropping dead on London streets from cold and disease? Crammed up in 20 to a room tenements where the living lay alongside the dead? Have you read Dickens? You think he was writing fiction? Look, let me tell you something - EVERY country bar none has a future.

Right when this deprivation was the norm in the UK, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Wembley, and other extravagant projects, were being executed. The aristocracy lived like they were on a different planet from the commoners. No one in govt gave two shiits about the masses. Gradually over several painful decades in which ordinary people sacrificed their time and activism for the plight of the poor, did parliament begin to introduce laws like social security benefits, minimum wages and so on, to ease the plight of the poor.

This would not have occurred without pressure from British civil society - ordinary men and women who, unlike you - were not interested in running away and attacking and insulting their country from afar, but in sitting at home to establish charities, rights groups, trusts, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, employment agencies, and such institutions which showed they truly CARED about their fellows, not just selfish characters only adept at blaming 'government' while doing ZERO themselves even when they can.

So you really are no better and no less selfish than those you point fingers at, Finecat.

When the suffering Nigerian villager sees you ride past him in your airconditioned Jeep, not caring a hoot about him, he sees YOU as the problem. For him, YOU are ''the govt''.

Always remember that.

abeg my friend shot up, !!! you sound like u know what u r talking about when in fact you do not!! stop coming here and regurgitating to us what ur school teachers have told you without any ability to think for urself or any personal experience to speak from!

THE WORLD IS THE WAY THE WORLD IS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN G O D D A M N DO ABOUT IT, K!!

if we r a part of your useless nigerian government just becos we may drive air-conditioned Jeep, explain how u come to this conclusion when ur leaders steal ur Billions, moving it overseas and we that you are attacking work day and night overseas to send home billions of dollars every year fool, if according to you everybody stayed in England when things were bad, who founded The great USA, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA THEN??

DO U CONGRATULATE URSELF AFTER READING WHAT UW RIGHT WHEN IN FACT YOU ARE TOTALLY OUT OF POINT??

pls ignore everything i have said and just answer the question about the billions of dallors we send home every year n if that is what makes us part of ur problem, and if people didnt leave england or italy or ireland during the potato famine who then built the new world as they are today!?!

I personally i have had every thing in life but the mistakes i made home can not permit me to come back because the moment i step my foot on Nigerian soil i may end up in Prison for the rest of my life.

These are the kind of i diots you will have to deal with when you relocate back home. People that have no clue how the other parts of the world succeed in their own programs. True Britain, USA and the other countries were once like Nigeria and found a way out of their problems. The situation in Nigeria is completely different, a nation where people that got us into these problems are still calling shots (IBB, OBJ, Tinubu, Ekwueme etc.) A nation where every youth is waiting for their turn to eat from the national Cake. A nation where the youths believe that the only way to make it is by going into politics. Too stubborn, argues intelligently, we think the world cares about what happens in Nigeria?? There is no hope for the present Nigeria as it is, even Ghana is making fun of us. Comparing developmental process of USA and Britain to Nigeria is very delusional.
Re: Why Are You Still Abroad? by llbhuds: 8:31am On Sep 02, 2011
what we Nigerians forget is the fact that western countries are into research 24/7 so dey can have a replacement for petrol and all it's cohorts.
Nigeria was one of the largest exporter of coal and that's why we have enugu as the coal state but what we should remind ourselves is that der are still millions of tonnes of coal untouched in enugu as at today but which is no longer useful to the world anymore because der is a replacement for it now and dey dont need it anymore because the trains uses electricity now. with the constant manufacturing of vehicles powered by ethanol and electricity also with the production of lighter fuel known as unleaded in Europe which is not in naija self we can see dat soon and very soon naija crude will no longer be useful and i will see what the niger delta will be fighter for in aftermath of that.
you can criticize what i have written but believe it Nigeria's petrol my8 one day b of little impact to the world as it is now

Migration and adaptation is a part of biology (life). These two concepts are not peculiar to human beings alone. Even the smaller species like the spices, mammals, reptiles are involved in moving from one place to the other and adapting there. So I do not know why it should become a regular issue here on nairaland. People have the right to live wherever they choose to, and I do not see the need of criticizing the movements of one another. After all its a free world.

From my observation, I have discovered that people that constantly criticize the migration of others to the Advanced countries, also have some hidden desire to travel abroad for better life. These are the people who will sneak to play the visa lottery and return to say bla bla bla. In my opinion, human beings stand the chance of regurgitating issues that matter most to them. That is why I conclude that the majority of those constantly criticizing the migration of others abroad have their hidden desire to migrate too. But out of their frustrations, several visa denials or failures abroad, acceptance of their fates in Nigeria, or they are lucky to be living above the poverty line they start forming patriotism. I am not saying this because I am no more in Nigeria. I am talking like this because this has always been my line of reasoning while I was still back home.

What is the point staying on the same position, while your dreams in life fade off from you. Many Nigerian youths have their dreams but they watch the dreams go down the drain because of the bad leadership. I suffered while growing up because my parents stayed back hoping it will be well. Unfortunately the poverty continued. I paid the price (suffered) because my parents didn't do what they were supposed to do to make life easier for the unborn generation. If I am selfish, I will remain in Nigeria. But my desire to ensure that my unborn children do not suffer as I did, is what motivated me to migrate to the U.S.A to study. I was 30 years before i left Nigeria, I had nothing to show for all those years. In less than a year in the USA, I have a lot to show. That tells the difference.

So for all you criticizing those abroad; people have been elected and paid heavily to fix Nigeria. If you want to help them for free in doing their job despite the fact that they don't care about you, it's your choice. But for me, I will remain abroad until my goal of leaving my country is met. I will only visit regularly. And of course, I will return home permanently when all my motives of travelling abroad is met

Until then, the best I can do now is to visit.

Re: Why Are You Still Abroad? by Nobody: 10:21pm On Oct 14, 2012
In my opinion, this is a senseless debate that has already been dignified by responses like mine.

@OP, since you're so into your useless country, why don't you have it all to yourself and enjoy the companionship of Boko Haram, the Aluu community, incessant power supply, hopelessly corrupt leaders, gross insecurity that makes every passing day a mortal threat to human life, to mention just a few?

There are a lot you could invest your time in rather than ranting some bullcrap you absolutely have no idea about.

Arrant nonsense!
