PTH:
na now you just dey know? where have u been since?

Gosh!!!!-------- I really thought I had lost you for good.  I have a reason to sign in to Nairaland every night now.  Boy I missed you so much.  But please try and change now.  Your wahala is too much.   Why can't you just be a lover and not a fighter always

Nairaland has been so boring without you.  Please don't ever leave.  I got tired of denex talking to himself!

David, you have been decoded!!!!

simply_me:
and millions stay put in Nigeria - join the struggle and makes it through tick and thin - to those people - i say well done - not when u look at yourself and belittles yourself - dumps your job- u even have a job - dumps your job - says - no light, no water, no good road, no nothing - and then goes abroad to suffer - do any job, those jobs u can't even do in nigeria - and then they ask why u left your job in Nigeria - u say - it is because there is no light, no water, no road - where were u born in the first place?

And then after two years abroad, u come back home and start speaking through your nose saying Nigeria is this - Nigeria is that - were you not born here?

Is this the offence

Yes it is lonely.  Very very very lonely!!! I had to over come that and find how to overcome that by making Nigerian friends here and trying to visit home as much as I can.  It may not be lonely in Nigeria but you have to give up a lot of things for having all your friends and family around you.  I guess it is personal sacrifice we all have to make by choosing where we want to live and dealing with the consequences!

PTBNaija and Simply_me

You make the situation sound so simple.  It is more complicated than how you present it.  It has to do with Choice.  If one thing does not work for you, you try something else.  Even if you made a mistake leaving Nigeria, It is still a choice.  If people are fed up of living in foreign countries, they have the right to leave--it is not a prison situation you know

PTBNaija:
Yeah, I agree. If you have the means and you make it, I applaud you. But money isn't everything (can be a lot of things though), if you don't have family here. . .it can be very lonely.

It is not all about money. Let us think about a few things like quality of life and the chance to compete with the outside world by being exposed to technology and so on and so forth. It is mainly an educational process. To see a side of life very different from that of Nigeria. Money is the least of the accomplishments. You may never even have that money. But what you learn is greater than anything you can qualify materially.

Simply_me

You have to consider the circumstances that made people leave in the first place. If you want to make things more palatable for people to stay in Nigeria, then the work has not even started. It is nice that a few priviledged people can afford some decent living in Nigeria. Do you care what happens to the other 80%? Does the poverty rate in Nigeria bother you at all

PTBNaija:
Well the reason behind it doesn't change the fact that one is leaving a well respected job to do one that's not so well respected though. Which in itself is sad. The reason behind may justify it. . . Nigeria is not perfect, no doubt about it.

Okay!  It is a choice.  I do not think it should be a problem-------to choose what type of self esteem you want for yourself. We can all still get along as we are all Nigerians! Just look at it as both sides complementing each other not opposing each other.

simply_me:
means low self respect - paint it and call it whatever you want - it is nothing but low self esteem -

Thousands who havent stepped London or America makes millions in Nigeria doing business and working very hard - to say u can only become something in life by travelling out of Nigeria to do menial jobs abroad is nothing but an affront on your person and God who made you and gave u all it takes to succeed where ever u find yourself.

Okay! If it the indivuals choice to have this "low self esteem", why do you have a problem with it I do not have a problem with people with "high self esteem" in Nigeria or any where else in the world. But it is the right to choose that matters most don't you think

wendymanda:
But even those who leave good jobs to do menial jobs in America will not return for the cushy job they had in Nigeria. What does that mean?

Low self esteem!

naijaking1:
There's got to be something inherently wrong with a people or a culture that resists and fight criticism.

The question is not about the validity or fairness of the criticism, but about the right to criticize in the first place.

No good student of history will doubt the importance of opposition and good criticism in any country, yet so many people here(informed or uninformed) waste countless hours fighting good and constructive criticism in naija.

What a waste.

You can say that again!!!

At least there is consolation that the planes in LAX did not land on runway COWS,  or the planes did not lose their wings and tires from dodging port holes larger than coal mines all over Nigerian international airports as reported in Nigerian Newspapers!!!

Haba! PTH--This is your 3rd strike today alone with the ladies. Any salvation for you How is it possible that you are attacked for your aggression all over Nairaland. Please try and make some friends. I want to be your friend just to help you out!!!

simply_me:
bankers leave their banking jobs to go to London and America to sweep the streets - how insulting on their person? don't they think?

It is sad to think because money is remitted to Nigeria annualy - u now use that to justify the flocking of Nigerians out of the country to do just any job.

Have you ever asked yourself why this is the case Is it reasonable for one to leave a so called "good" life in Nigeria as you say to go and sweep streets in London  If Nigeria was so "good" why do people leave in plane fulls every day Help me understand.  It means something is wrong over here!!!

dblock:
How about the 1000s of doctors that leave Nigeria annually.

Nigeria, one of the largest producers of Doctors, is now in shortage of doctors.

doesn't that hurt the economy

I guess they all went to pack "shit"!  Since it will pay them better than being "doctors" in Nigeria!!!

Shit is gold!!!!

I went to a one University Alumni conference not too long ago and come and see where this Nigerian doctor was living with his family!!!  Elevator in his home to go from on floor to the other, 25-seater movie theartre and cars--Jag, Masarati and name it to die for.  Word had it that the man had many clinics and practices and all from packing "shit"!!!!  God Bless America---for giving you the chance to pack shit and show your shit money!!!!  Will Nigeria open such doors for you

I say shit is gold!!!

he he he he he he!!!!!  You are a dog so you know where you get your meal from!!!!   Want some meat or bones Or just plain doggy juice

Everyone can attest to your ugliness! Wor wor bobo! And you make all the noise here!

Are you sure you did not write this letter to yourself?  You of all people  I am baffled! Please what happened?   Well, I guess you struck gold!  Enjoy!!!! Or should I say beware of ritualists!!!

PTH:
freakazoid abi na babeelove. . . sorry that no one recognises you or notices your presence. Perhaps your crass, repugnant and disgusting attitude is the problem and not really me.

@ islander . . . thank you very plenty! Plenty of milking for u! You more than deserve it.

Sexually frustrated he goat!!!! Please now that you have been noticed, try and get laid tonight so we can rest from your tantrums!!!

Never---especially if it is a Nigerian dude!!! That is my problem and my problem alone--Thank you!!!

Depends on what part of the world you live in. Just watched "BOURNE" last night. Did you finally go to see it iice Loved the action sound track. That is something to do if you are so bored.

He says it is okay to leave it blank!!!!

Sweet smelling fine "Oprah Winfrey" shit!!! Instead of "Osuofia" shit--------------full of Nkwobi!!!!

denex:
@BABEELOVE

it is not our place to tell people how to live their lives EXCEPT when they start committing crimes.

It seems you are missing a very important point here. Homosexuality is not an awkward way of life in Nigeria, IT IS A CRIME!!!

That said, I call no further witnesses.

I know!  So is wearing trousers in some parts of Nigeria and the "killing of twins" in the old days!

azorjiu:
Do they really abuse the anus?

Senators think they do.

I guess so! Just like any other part of the body!

PTH:
pray miss tell me where i have exhibited ignorance. And like i said earlier, try and show some class. typing in capitals and with exclamation marks is equivalent to shouting. Is this the way you behave in real life?

lol natural born hater eh? nice new moniker. You shld notice that i hardly ever notice people like you until u deliberately attempt to engage my attention while making a fool of yourself in the process. sorry i don't suffer fools gladly.

POINTS NOTED!!! BOURNE "MUGU" SUPREMACY!!! Carry go!!!!

Siena:
@ "Pastor Sly": No need to pray for me, as far as I'm concerned, god (if he exists) sucks! Don't need him to "look out" for me.

Ah-ah!   Siena!!! Oya-- HAN LE LE!!!  Enter for inside house and LOCK THE DAMM[b] DOE[/b]!!! Don't make enemies on Nairaland oh.  They are viscious.  Don't spoil your wonderful image oh!  Just keep this matter to yourself y'hear!  I am here to protect you.  You know Nairaland with them PAPA-JASUS and MAMA MARY!!!   We know you will for ever remain blessed!!!  Leave the matter oh!  Make them carry go!  Don't want any hater around you at all! If anyone messes with you, just call me!  I am watching over you.

--------------_{JUST BEING A MOTHER HEN!!!PROTECTING MY CHICK!!!}

naijacutee:
Ewooo my sister, I tire oo!! Anyways, argueing is a waste of time, so I'll just go off and find some "shit" to pack for £££. . .

Have not fear noble "blue" one!!! It is a sign of love!!! Just feel out a lot of moneygram and western union slips in advance to save your wait time at the transfer centres when you are trying to help the needy or pay your tithes!!!!

iice:
LOL i usually stay away from here. . .too much fighting.
Seems that nigerians in diaspora bashing is all the rage these days.

Really Talk true na!!!  Awon crazykid, babaluku and debosky chased your hot tail out of "iice can I meet you thread"!!!   Girl!!!  You are too much.  Reading the thread even made me sweat.  You are a very brave girl to tactfully dodge all those "bullits"!!!

Well, please do not run away from here oh!  Fighting is a sign of heart felt love!!!! Typical way of our people expressing the hots for you. So take it as a compliment when one fights you with love! No body can fight your squeaky clean image.  So please educate our brothers and sisters about life with your enviable "Nairaland Charm"!!! I think they would listen to you that it is better to pack shit than to swallow it!!!

doyin13:
@denex

LOL

You talk about these issues with such relish.

I will admit I was as homophobic as they come when I first settled in the UK, but have since mellowed.

They are as harmless as the heterosexual guy next door.


For instance we get more instances of heterosexual paedophillia than homosexual ones in my reckoning.

I am just as repulsed by one as the other.

I rest my case!!! Peace out!!!
