I Regret Being An African by shantti(m): 11:18am On Feb 16, 2023
At times I wonder the crime I must have committed in my previous life that resulted my being an Africa in this present life. Look at how developed and sane the white society is. Everything is smooth and seemless. Come to Nigeria, everything is upside down.

I developed malaria last night. Had to hold it till this morning. Went to the bank very early around 5am only to meet a very huge crowd. They was no guarantee that ATM would even dispense that day oh. They were just hoping. And I was afraid to use a different bank cos many banks were dispensing only to their customers. I collected number and left, came back around 8am, ATM wasnt dispensing yet and I was getting down with malaria. I resorted to POS, unfortunately, no POS operator had cash available.

I decided to try my luck with transfer. Went to a pharmacy. Luckily for me, the girl said she accepts transfer. She packaged the drugs for me. I tried paying with bank transfer, but it wasn't going through, access bank is a very useless bank. I tried and tried, no way. She told me she had POS, maybe I should try it, omo, I gave her my card, the same issue, no network. I couldn't buy the drugs again.

I went home with my malaria, annoyed with everything. Like, why can't things work out as it should in Nigeria. Why must we have to suffer for everything. I've looked at how the whites even have the time to go for hiking, sky diving, surfing the waves, picnics etc. They aren't under pressure simply because everything works for them.
Here in Nigeria, the struggle start right from the second u are born, heat will bombard ur new born body till you start to cry and the nurses will even be shouting at you as they bathe you as if you are the cause of their misfortune.

Den no born you well to go and surf the waves in Nigeria. Even the waves are angry at the hardship, dem fit tear u hot slap for disturbing them. In fact, Mami water fit kidnap u and demand for ransom in new notes.

Go and sky dive nah, while in the air, u will realize that your parachute is aba-made, and fabricated from a restaurant curtain.

Ordinary bank transaction is hell here. I wouldn't be surprised if access bank's internet service provider is mtn or glo, instead of them to utilize superior internet service providers. I wouldn't even be surprised if they don't have their own personal servers, they might be sharing servers.


Why is everything just upside down in this country. Make this malaria no sha kill me.

Sharrap there,and you think Europe is heaven.....Lol.

Maybe you forgot gun violence,high rent cost, working multiple jobs to survive,the cold,the fear of nuclear wars,the debt life.

The fear of earthquakes, hurricanes.

Nigeria'is the real heaven on earth.

Nigeria is the enjoyment headquarters of the world.
Cheap house rent.
No need working multiple jobs,a bank job in Nigeria can feed a family but a banker in Europe needs 2 jobs to survive.

Most Nigerians can easily own houses but people in Europe will be in rent for a long time.Most of them take over 10 years paying mortgages to own houses.

My friend who relocated to America about 10 years ago is still paying house rent in America while his mates in Nigeria are now landlords,own their personal cars.

Nigeria is the enjoyment headquarters of this world.
As for nepa just get a good solar or inverter.

There is something wrong with the psyche of the black man that is the reason why countries that have a predominantly black population can't do anything right!

OP, this shit you wrote is too funny 🤣 grin

It'll take a minimum of 50yrs for Nigeria to catch up with the rest of the world. But unfortunately the rest of the world must have already gone 50yrs ahead of us, while we struggle behind

Not just Naija The black race is lowest race in the human hierachy next to animals,low iq, greed,no regard for humanity all these are animalistic traits,black man can never get anything right not in our lifetime,the only thing we compete with the white is religion we have the biggest and richest churches in the world but still the poverty capital in the world.

Shantti, I feel your pain. What I v seen in order to get cash for daily upkeep and transportation is hell. The Internet banking really exposed Nigeria that it's nowhere near technology. We won't be feeling this new note saga at all if we v all gone electronic transfer that's working well.
Shebi you see Buhari this morning saying old N200 is still tenable. The baba is just doing it for political fight cos from the onset, Nigerian currency bo suppose pass N100 note. The day they manufactured N200, N500 and N1000, the corruption and cash stock piling increased and improved X1000.
