Success don't really depend on whether you reside in the Nigeria, States or in any Western countries but hard work and luck. We have equal chance of making it anywhere. There are some prominent Nigerians that once lived in the states or Europe but decided make it in Nigeria. Mike Adenuga was once a taxi driver in the states , MI use to wash toilet in the streets of Detriot. Dbanj and Don Jazzy were once in UK hustling before deciding to make it Nigeria. Even Dangote spend 2 years hustling and schooling in Egypt before relocating to Nigeria. if they had all remain in the West believing Nigeria is bad, they probably would not have become successful.

GH PATRIOT: Gbam!..... I am Ghanaian and I can relate to your Post! Relatives and friends have discouraged me in seeking greener pastures in the West, but I always smile each time they offer me their [color=deeppink]hypocritical advice[/color] because I know they will be going back to the same country they are advicing others not to go. Sometimes they even have the courtesy to inform you that they will be travelling with their children.
The Black man is always happy if he can make his brother envious of him, and that is the TRUTH.

A dog in Ghana or Nigeria can not become a lion in America. Success don't depend by going to the west but by hard work and a little bit of luck. Immigrants have a tougher time achieving the American dream than native American.

Chibuebem: LoL. You don't think of death? Then you're one of a kind.
As for the fact that 'we simply cease to exist after we die'; who knows sir, who knows. I believe after we die, we stand before God in judgement and give account of our lives. If we have broken the law and have no substitute. We are cast into hell. For God is holy, and he cannot allow sin to go unpunished.
If we have a substitute, we enter heaven.

I hope you're sure you aren't wrong about this claim you make, we simply cease to exist. And I hope you have a substitute or you haven't broken real-God's law

LOL. Why should I be worried about death when I know I am going to die one day. This life is so hard for me to be worried about death. Besides death will be very easy because you don't have to worry about all this shit we experience on earth. Anyway I don't really believe in Hell or Heaven. We simply cease to exist when we die. have you ever ask yourself where we came from before our birth? We simply go to where we came from before our death which is NOWHERE. How do you know that hell or heaven exist? and also Where does Plants, Chicken, Dogs, Lions, birds and other animals go when they die?

I don't think of death. I don't really believe in life after death because we simply ceased to exist after we die. We no longer have to worry about bills, money, jobs, family and other material things in this bleeped up Earth. but I think its good to die at an old age after having kids and raising your family

raystanley: A Nairalander, was here last week, seeking your kind advise on getting rid of the planed pregnancy by her girlfriend, and after series of advise here which majority said it should be terminated, since he is abou early school life in Uni... But right now the girl friend has connived with her mother, who initially. Opted it should be removed, have now retracted their decision and refuse to adhered to the termination after his several reasons...please what should he do, cause he's running out of time and he's planing to do something stupid abou it.?

he should man up and take responsiblities for his actions.

Those are black Areas. You hardly see whites living in those streets. cities like Oakland, Baltimore, DC, ATL, Bronx NY and detriot has a very high black population. The fact is whites are well off than blacks in America because of discrimination and racism. The black unemployment rate is twice that of whites. There are more black men in prisons than they are in colleges. Infact 1 out of 7 black men in America is either in jail or has been in prison. The America system has failed black people in US and proverty rate among blacks is higher than any other race. Infact a white man with a criminal record has a higher chance of getting a job than a black man with a college degree because White still control US economy and they are very few black millioniares in American. most of the black millioniares are either in sports or entertaiment and you hardly see black American millioniares in wall street. 50 years after Martin Luther King died there is still racism in America

it look like a hairy puss..y

I guess it was before youtube was brought by Google

Annie2gud: I Bet this will nva happen in naija.we really need to set our priorities Right!!!!

People like you will be the first to complain if the government decide to tax Nigerians. We don't really pay tax in Nigeria like property tax, sales tax, road or toll tax, business tax etc.

nedu2000: so basically Nigeria is better than america,is that what ur saying?

seems like you have a problem comprehending what I posted. I mean HOLLYWOOD movies don't often show the true reality in America while Nollywood movies show the reality in Nigeria. Anyway, No country is better than another. All countries has their own peculiar problems including the US of A

America movies and news only show the good side of America. They will never show you the thousands of homeless Bums or Crack-heads living in the Streets of LA, NY and other major US cities and begging for a dollar. Hollywood movies also show that all Americans are beautiful, sexy and good looking but in reality half of Americans are either Obese or overweight. Hollywood MOVIES show that all Americans are rich and happy but in reality most Americans are just trying to survive in this recent global economy recession. I guess this is the reason an Average Nigerian who has never visit US of A think America is like Heaven. On the other hand, Nollywood movies show the reality in Nigeria both the good and bad.

Rhymeyjohn: Goosh, i dont think athesit are this gullible at responding decisively to issues. to clear it for you, its not about theists, but the God man; JESUS. the history you have read about Him apart from the bible,, how do you fare. NOT ATHEIST WOULD FAREWELL MORALLY WHEN COMPARED TO JESUS. Thanks. JESUS LOVES ATHEISTS

Being Morally right don't have anything to do with believing Jesus or Mohammad. It comes from your heart. The most morally upward people I have met in my life don't believe in God. Most Nigerian Theists are hypocrites

Rhymeyjohn: Moral perfectness is define by God's rule in the bible. It is a standard no man can personally struggle to attain. It is untinkable when an atheist who disregard anything 'God' and his rules claim that they can attian this high moral ideals. Hear one of such atheist, Johnny U. said, “I stray away from lying as much as possible. I don't cheat or steal. I don't murder. I haven't had sex yet. I honor my parents. I've never had an abortion. (I don't have the right parts). I'm not a homosexual. I'm not a drunkard. (I have never had a drink before). I'm not a coward.
Johnny lies as much as possible, only that he tries staying from it just as much. This puts in question any of his other claims.Johnny could as well be lieing on his many other claims.
Secondly, Jesus destroyed any defense this self righteous atheist held to when He said, 'You are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your heart'.. Just like an african proverb says 'no one would trust a lair, even when he is saying the truth'. What Johnny dosent know/refuse to acknoledge (just like many atheists), is that no matter how hard you try, you cant meet up Gods standard of moral perfection.
Am yet to see a man who lived on earth and held on to sound moral ideals like Jesus. The atheist dare not try. The challenge is, to live a life of moral corruption ends up in corruption, but that of Christlike perfection ends up in glory. Make your chioce. JESUS LOVES ATHEISTS.

RUBBISH!!! The average Theist is not moral. Most of the wars and crimes in the world has committed by both Christians and Muslims fanatics. The world will be a better place without religion because religion has done man no good.

eyinimofe: I would love to relocate to europe with my wife and kid,please I would like to know what country I can relocate to,the easiest shengen country and how to apply from here,the cost and what I should expect,I have always followed travel post here and still can't make up my mind as to what to expect,I have tried spain and italy some 5 years back and didn't get a visa due to agents, please I would appreciate your advice, thanks

its better you remain in Nigeria than go to spain or Italy because the economy in those country is not really good and unemployment rate is high

Henrick007: my own mistake was following my friends to art department

lol. Most of my friends did that when they were in SS1. My younger sister almost did ended up in Art because of her friends but she was advised by my parents to switch to science because she was good in maths. Most school don't have guardian counselors to advice students on career choice.

Emmanuel602: Mine was not writing jamb in 2011 while i was still in ND1 although i am through with my diploma and still waiting for direct entry sha.... but i know i would have easyly gotten admission if i had written jamb then.

Mine is dating my Ex girlfriend. She ended up breaking up with me and I wish I didn't spend so much time and resources on her

Timijo: I am planning of furthering in my education very soon but I am contemplating on the above two courses. I am a NCE holder but I want to go for my degree very soon.
Pls, which of the above courses is more lucrative in the labour market. I want your good pieces of advice.

None is lucrative in Nigeria unless you plan on becoming a teacher or a professor. But there is a higher demand for physics teachers than Maths teachers.

I wont advice any of my friend with AS to marry a spouse with AS genotype because their children will have sickle cell

princeduke 2013: I saw the cost of geting an Mba in lagos business school to be more than 2 million naira.is mba really worth all the stress and how sure is the availability job for an mba holder in market.

no. unless you already have work experience

Agbani, better go get marry so you can flaunt your husband. Very soon you go pass menopause.

ciphoenix: What's African American

Akata

she must be an African American.

mario2575: Hello house...Been a while i dropped a post here thats because ive been trying to settle down here before classes start Oct 7th and my program me begins plus getting an accommodation here is no beans at all. I have been doing some thinking and hearing imputs from folks who are used to the system and it seems the Post graduate course i put in for isnt as promising as i was hoping for because there is a large glut of american citizens looking for similar jobs and that is Mba. Since programme resumes i was thinking of deferring the semester without paying tuition and work on getting a transfer to another school in another state preferable in a STEM course to resume next year. Please what are my chances?

I hope you resolve your accommodation issue soon. I guess you want to a STEM major, however do you have a science background in your undergraduate. Also If you want to go for MBA program, it will be an advantage to attend a top or Ivy league school for your MBA program unless you already have years of work experience in a financial organization or company.

adconline: I forgot that one too. Cheap azz phone plans. $50=N8k can feed one person in a week in the US, u can afford nutritious meal with that amount, try that in Naija and ur enemy will be reading ur eulogy. Peak tin milk in Naija is about N150, while evaporated milk, twice the size of peak is less than N100 in most stores in the US. Even bottled water is too expensive in Naija. Nestlé and Eva brands are insanely expensive. Don't get sick in Naija cos good medications are out of ur reach..

The cheapest plan is $50 for unlimited calls and text. you can only survived on Ramen Noodles with $50 per week. A gallon of milk in most grocery stores cost like $4, 2 dozens of Nestle cost $6. Health care in US is not cheap oooo. Its better to be sick with a small illness in Nigeria than in America. Last year, My friend spend $1500 ( 200,000 naira) just to stitch his injuries on his leg because he could not afford the over priced America health care insurance. prescription drugs cost 10 times in America than it cost in Nigeria. A malaria medicine that cost 250 naira in Nigeria can cost up to $150 in the States if you don't have health Insurance. Why do you think most Nigerian politicians go to Europe and India rather than America for medical treatment.

fake

pro2010: The minimum wage is used to protect the unskilled or semi skilled labor, pay earned by skill and educated labor is way higher than this. You did not take this into acct, and there are houses for minimum wage earners, just as for the rich... get your facts straight.

bro, The least you can rent a 1 bed room apartment house in LA area and SF bay area is $1100. The rich areas or neighborhoods are very expensive and can reach up to $2000 per month for 1 bed room apartment.

rusher14: Well People need to realize this comparison though somewhat unfair relates to the minimum.

A man on minimum wage in the USA lives waaaaaaaaaay (for emphasis) better than a man on minimum wage in Nigeria.

No question about it.

NO. They are both the same. I guess you didn't watch on CNN when fast food workers in New York and other cities PROTESTED for an increase in the minimum wage. Nobody should be payed a MINIMUM wage salary but a LIVABLE wage salary.

The minimum wage in california state is not $10 but $8 per hour so thats like $1100 per month before taxes. The average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in a month is $1200 so after paying your rent you are left with nothing for food and other expenses like utilities and bills.

vivichocs: This is sad news but I strongly believe I ll make it in Nigeria

yes ooo. you don't have to travel to America to make it in life

Miscellanous: you needed to have seen the keek video. The scammer has gone to delete it. He is being traced though.His pictures will be put on the nigerian local news.

do you have any evidence that they are scammers? so because they go on a shopping spree make them scammers
