You who's not mentally challenged somehow managed to sit in your stuffy bedroom to determine other people's contribution to daily societal affairs abi?

You first need a proper education to polish your public communication skills before being in any mental space to determine what people should do with their freewill.

i was perplexed, and queried the reason behind this
the police threatened to 'deal with me' and arrest me for making 'false report'
a state commissioner came into the police station with some people he had arrested with his personal police security
all the police men left me to hail him, he dropped some money for them as well as the people he arrested
i ran out of the police station

he drove for hours

STORY 5
when we had my 2nd child, she fell ill at 4days and we rushed her to UPTH Uniport
we stayed there for about 2 weeks at SCBU
i saw a man and his wife lose one of their twins, and a cleaner, not a doctor, not a nurse, a cleaner
came out and met the man with a list of things to buy fro the pharmacy and said
oga one pikin don die, go buy these things before the 2nd pikin die
i knelt down at the car park that night and cried to God that nothing should ever take me to any teaching hospital in Nigera

i saw mothers abused, cursed by doctors and nurses
these same doctors will travel abroad and behave completely differently

Make una come naaa. It's very easy over here in abroad. Just sell all your properties in Nigeria and leave your Deloitte Job where you've become a Manager. You don't even need to come through legal means. Just come on visiting visa. When you get here you can easily divorce your wife and marry oyinbo. Within like 1 year you will get your papers then start as Deloitte Manager again in Dallas, Or Houston. It's not that hard. Just come. There is job and money waiting for you.There is even credit system so you have access to funds to buy whatever you want. You can take a loan to buy a 2024 model car and be paying small small. Just come. Anybody telling you otherwise is an enemy of progress.

only mad citizen failed to develop their motherland, those who japa, failed their contribution here in Nigeria, someone should tell us, this guy's have any tangible contribution, to the country they want to go

Deco7:



I'm not happy the sentence was light. Those guys ought to be sentenced for life

TongueTwista:
Texas has the highest concentration of Nigerians in the US, but when you get there and are fortunate enough to meet your fellow Nigerian at the mall or in the train station, he or she will avoid you like you're the very face of the Covid-19 pandemic. And this nonsense mostly exists between Southerners in the diaspora. You will hardly find an Aboki in Dallas or Chicago, ignoring or looking down on another Aboki. Na we just dey foolish dey go!

Very evil, stupid and self-centered lot!

What's your business with where a human decides to go to contribute his or her quota to societal development? When did you become the spokesperson of the United Nations?

Advising people to go is just as bad as advising people not to go. Everybody’s circumstance is different. Let people make up their own minds. I lived abroad for 2 decades, I had a fantastic job, I still have a house there, I am a citizen so I can go back if I want but I came back voluntarily and I will never go back. Nigeria is hard but for me there is peace, sense of belonging, I have in Nigeria I never had in the UK. Eventually you will realize these things matter.

SeriouslySense:
They are lucky, the sentence is light.

Samuel Ogoshi, 22, and his younger brother Samson Ogoshi, 20, of Lagos, were flown to the U.S. on Sunday and are expected in federal court in Grand Rapids on Monday afternoon, the Justice Department said. They are charged in a four-count indictment with the sexual exploitation of minors and with causing the death of Jordan DeMay, 17, who was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in March 2022 after the defendants allegedly tricked him into sending explicit photos of himself and threatened to share them with friends and family. Samuel faces a minimum sentence of 30 years in prison if convicted, and Samson faces a minimum sentence of five years.

Holluwhakemmy:
I won't miss it I will be coming to Nigeria once a while

SeriouslySense:
I think its more of a Nigerian trait.

Pootle:


the truth...unfortunately third world are wired that way.

Deco7:


They should each be given 30 years. It was too inhumane. Too devilish

TheGift:
They are telling you people from experience but you won't hear. So go and see for yourself.

For those asking why they don't come back, some do, but many don't because they can't. They sold everything to Japa. There is nothing to come back to. But bills from
People who expect that they should have become multi millionaires in Naira, by now.

HYDEEE:
Everytime we read the same stupid complaint/excuse:
It is too cold waaaaa, it is too lonely waaaaa, it is too this, they are too that, i know a person that did this, i was experiencing that. WTF.
As if we that are planning to go there do not already know that. We are bush people with no access to information.

SeriouslySense:
Just accept it and move on, they were not good at home, why do you expect them to become good outside.

I have accepted that fact, I dont trust southerners in Nigeria, so why should i suddenly trust them outside they believe they know everything.

Very self centered set of people. Who like to prey on others

But at least when i see someone i greet them and i dont think too much about it.

Crimes make people wary of each other. Me and you are not even decent, so

Jman06:
Develop a country where my vote doesn't count You shouldn't expect patriotism from Nigerians after rigging elections and forcing yourselves on the people. It doesn't work that way!

A country where people beg and bribe just so they can have a job is not worth any iota of patriotism. Go to the West and you see job boards established by goverment to ensure everybody is working and contributing to economic growth while in Nigeria, getting a job is a prayer point!

Nigerian leaders are not yet ready to make the country workable. When they're ready they'll do the needful. For now, Nigerians who have the opportunity to japa should not hesitate to do so.

TongueTwista:


How do you lot even arrive at the conclusion that Nigerians who seek to migrate to other climes were not "good people" back home?

And it is the passive manner in which you're dismissing people's struggles for better lives that is even more irksome.

this is in response to this post that made front page today: https://www.nairaland.com/7834477/japa-fever-among-nigerian-youths


story 1:
i had an uncle who always complained about his job.
he worked in an oil company.
he told me to pursue my dreams (i used to be a music producer in the university) and how life is not all about making money
he complained he didn't have time for his family and how we wishes he could spend time with his children
he complained about how he's underpaid compared to expatriates
he complained so much, we (the family) actually had pity on him
long story short, we had an insider in the company (from our church) who told us,
my uncle was the person blocking my elder brother from getting a job in same company
he (the insider) was shocked we were related to him (my uncle)
he called our uncle in my fathers presence, who told him: do you want that small boy to overtake me in the family
my uncle didn't know the phone was on speaker!!!
this was 2008.


its easy for a beautiful girl with so many rich suitors to tell her 'not so fine' friends with only one suitor life is not about marriage
its easy for a rich person to tell a broke person life is not about money
its easy for someone in canada/US/europe to tell you in Nigeria the grass isn't greener abroad

someone who doesn't buy fuel for gen,
someone who doesn't sleep with multiple lecturers for marks in the university
someone who isn't slapped, abused and insulted in the hospital (like it happens in teaching hospitals in Nigeria)
SHOULD NOT TELL NIGERIANS ANYTHING ABOUT RELOCATING ABROAD

casualobserver:

The point still stands. You don’t come on a thread chastising people for advising people not to go and then advise people to go. It’s hypocritical!!!

The things is most people giving advice have no experience of living abroad…..have you ever lived abroad that you are giving advice?

onuman:
Europeans who escaped Europe to other countries during the World Wars made money and returned to Europe to build industries after the war.
But in Nigeria, Islamic extremists and the inept leaders that emerge from the fraudulent political structure of Nigeria would not allow for a peaceful and conducive environment for Nigeria to enable Nigerians who fled abroad to return to invest in Nigeria. The Nigerians left in Nigeria have been impoverished to the bone marrow by inept leadership and Islamic extremists.

SeriouslySense:
You can correct me and I will gladly accept your correction, but you know an average Nigerian is prone to scamming others, deceiving others and taking advantage of others.

You see it in their reasoning, they become a law of their own, without considering the repercussions of their actions without considering others.

They have the ability to know it all and to be the highest law of their own.

The can begin to demand and expect it must be, because they are the highest and after they got what they want to hell with the needs of others.

Its always the Jungle for this people. They have lost their minds

To invest

No offence, how many people have you scammed since you pitched your tent in your current settlement?
