Mehn. Yoruba kids are low life. Very docile.

lucasmaji: Thanks for this tread pls where can. I study this courses ...I have a bsc. In intertional relation but I still want to do computer programs

Big data is not lucrative in Nigeria, maybe south africa. If you are based in Naija it is a waste of time

Pipsland78: ^^^ So you are saying I should look beyond Nigerian food due to competition...hmmnnn...I've been thinking even the logistics of having to import may be too much for me to handle.

You made mention of selling things on amazon, sounds really good to me cos I guess I can sell virtually anything on amazon and ebay. Would it be profitable to buy such things as toys, hair extension, perfumes, etc from the manufacturers to sell on amazon/ebay?
What about starting a car wash or buying a franchise to clean buildings?

Car wash business in States are mainly attached to Gas stations. Although they have independent car wash places. Always have it in mind thst labor is not cheap in states. In regards ebay or Amazon, you can source for wholesale in China and United States.

Pipsland78: Thanks a lot, I truly appreciate your contribution.

I'm thinking of moving to Houston because of the large Nigerian community in the city as well as the weather, low cost of living, great economy and no income tax.

In terms of business, what do you think of shipping in Nigerian food items from Nigeria to sell in the city, opening a Nigerian restaurant and running a drive-through car wash. These are some others I've been considering.

Texas is a great place to do business. Shipping goods from Naija may require numerous licensing cos FDA is no joke and apart from those you may face steep competition. There are uncountable Naija restaurant in Houston and majority of the Naijas out there go to the known restaurants( finger leaking). I think you should channel your money towards other biz.

The proportion of global kidnappings from Latin America has halved since 2005, but Mexico still leads the pack, according to RiskMap 2014, a new report from Control Risks.

Asia and the Pacific had the most recorded kidnaps-for-ransom in 2013, up to 35% of global cases from 31% in 2012. Risks remain in Africa, especially in Nigeria where "the overwhelming majority of incidents taking place in the oil-producing Niger delta."

"A large number of cases continued to be reported in the Middle East, fuelled by the unstable security environment created by the Syrian civil war," according to the report. "Kidnapping-for-ransom has become a common problem in Syria and Lebanon, with Lebanon ranking sixth in Control Risks’ global top ten in 2013."

Here are the top 20 countries for kidnap-for-ransom in absolute terms for 2013 (as of September 30):

1. Mexico
2. India
3. Nigeria
4. Pakistan
5. Venezuela
6. Lebanon
7. Philippines
8. Afghanistan
9. Colombia
10. Iraq
11. Syria
12. Guatemala
13. Yemen
14. Libya
15. Egypt
16. Brazil
16. Kenya (tied)
18. Nepal
19. Malaysia
19. South Africa (tied)

To contextualize, Control Risks said that the number of kidnappings in the top ten countries were in the "many thousands." But below Iraq, it's in the "high hundreds in all cases." Control Risks couldn't share any more hard numbers with us for confidentiality reasons. They also added that their numbers, unlike other metrics, "include both reported and unreported cases (in effect, cases handled by private security or by the families themselves who simply pay the ransom)."

And here's the chart from Control Risks showing the regional breakdown of kidnappings:

Before stepping into United States, have it in mind that the naira you own, when converted to dollars becomes a smaller denomination. What state are you relocating to ? Biz in United States is capital intensive if you plan on generating high revenue. If you have less than 10k dollars, buy goods from bulk sellers and then resell them at Flea Market (open mkt). Buy goods from China and then list them on Amazon. If you live in a city populated by blacks, open a small shop to sell Hair extension. If you have close to 20k dollars , consult with your local chambers of commerce and Small Business Association (SBA) agencies . Business in states is transparent, no back door or fraud like Naija. Also look into owning a cleaning service and employ Hispanics to run it for you. I hope this help

This is what you get for working for Chinese firms. Compare their staff with that of Microsoft. ....Yankee is still the place to be and work.

fellis: Abeg both of you should go and rest jor! Ars* kissers. Majority of people on this thread were very polite and some even praised OP's intelligence and thanked him for taking time to answer questions but una no see those ones, instead you came here to insult Nigerians and blacks because a few people poked jibes at OP.
Fact is that, you cannot get the same opinion or behaviour from every single poster in a thread with more than 150 posts, some people will appreciate, some will make fun and some will oppose OP's points, that's the way it is. We cannot all have the same opinions as humans and it doesn't mean Nigerians exibit stupidity or that blacks are gorrillas.

Stop kissing ars* and have some self esteem for god's sake.
You two should try starting a topic like this (as a Nigerian) on foreign websites like 4chan or reddit and see if you would get even half the courtesy we have been showing the Russian guy on this thread.

When a female Monkey exhibit similar intelligence as humans, her handler throws her a Banana for a job well done.I just sent you a Banana for attempting to sound intelligent

Nigerians continue to exhibit stupidity. The young Russian lad kept his cool while some Nigerians act like silver back gorillas in a Banana Plantation.

kingthreat: Spare us the Biafran hype. Igbos are the most criminally-minded Nigerians. Take it or or leave it. We know say everybody get wahala, but una own no get contest. Homosexuality, prostitution, drug trafficking, election rigging, kidnapping, na una dey on top or abi I dey lie?

Yoruba man na hypocrite, who dey surprise to see your rant? Poitical assassination nko? Ra.ping and homosexuality, your peeps are on game.

Hypocrites running to America to give birth to their children while they trash on Nigerians in diaspora for not been patriotic. Naijas are known to double speak, I am not surprised to see such an embarrassing thread.

olatiler: I hate been count as a Nigerian with Foulk from that side millions of my brothers from West side keep on bringing pride and Honor to this Country while Dumps from other side keep on bring shame and insult

Just like Micheal mobolaji and co that are Al qaeda foot soldiers. Your peeps don't go to college here, they are lazy and always living the fast lane life (CC scam). Visit Rikers island jail in New York and come back to this thread

kingthreat: Please US government. Start being cautious of the Nigerians you let into your country especially those from the East of the Niger. Their names and actions tell it all.

Igbos are the face of black race in science and technology in America. They attend colleges to study the most difficult courses and statistics shows that they earn higher salaries that their SW counterparts in states. Their employers in Houston are mostly Oil and Gas companies and health care industry. Unlike your bro that went killing innocent Brit soldier for the sake of Arab god.

Nigerians should stop pretending. There are millions of downlow homosexuals in Nigeria. People are just been hypocrites.

Criminal Ibos: Ibos are barbaric people,,i hate eboe many innocent soul've been killed by dis barbaric set of people

You have reasoned like a true Yoruba thug. An IQ less than 1.

oluamid: For the mere fact that NOI (the Finance Minister) finds it necessary to reply to Punch, I think Punch's objective has been achieved. The Fourth Estate of the Realm must be able to provoke this kind of response from those in government for the betterment of ordinary citizens. As a result of this Editorial, I'm sure the Finance Ministry will sit up.

@Ethnic warriors, government is a continuum so even if those things Punch alleged didn't happened during NOI's tenure, the fact is that it happened. Besides, it is not everything that must be given a tribal undertone. What happened to fighting corruption in Nigeria?

Punch fighting corruption? What about Tinubu, is he doing same thing? I doubt punch columnist are college graduates. No difference from Osundefender or Oduadefender

Barbaric Africans. Makes me wonder what is the need of churches and Mosque littered all over the country.

APC members. SW get ready for 2015 campaign

Nigerians are intellectually lazy. When one's first thought is profit maximization he or she will lack the ability of been creative (innovation)

Is there mortgage service for this or one has to pay cash? I am very much interested

Any party funded by Alqaeda will not win an election in South East. APC should know better.

haibe: true, we nigerians really need to improve, I was in ghana few months ago and was glad with the way the country has improved within just a few years.


the roads are above par, very good health sector and management, most of all the people are civilized than nigerians(in general).

Nigerians claim to love Nigeria yet they wear Jersey of Chelsea and showcase cake designed as Chelsea stadium. I don't see Nigerian flags in people's home or people wearing Nigerian Jersey. The new generation is worse than its predecessor . The entire system needs cleansing . You can not do business with a Nigerian without been cheated .

PetroDolla2: Funny guy. you don't know for naija to reach Ghana's level is a sign of improvement,huh? hahahahahaha just compare how the two countries perform in key indices, such as access to potable water, health care, personal security,electricity, education,poverty levels, life expectancy. Ghana is even ahead on FIFA rankings!

check out the United Nations Human Development Index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_Human_Development_Index

I have not been to Ghana but from interacting with them here in states, they seems more civilized than Nigerians. I am not doubting the data you put up here. Nigerians are Nigeria's problem. If you See them cutting queue at JFK or Heathrow airport when boarding flights to Nigeria,you will shake your damn head in shame.

Tadon200: no i don't stay in one room apartment ,i stay under the bridge as you know people like you that sell spare part in lagos are the real owners of lagos. #glorified mumus and FYI am not your friend ,i don't know you from jack. #babbooo

Actually,every Yoruba I know on NL hails from Lagos, Sometimes I wonder if Apes occupy other states. My best friend is from Abeokuta and he is a proud Ogun state fellow. You will never here him or his parents claim Lagos in real life. Be proud of where you came from, son.

geeez: They want to kii demselves over one house in Ikoyi

Meanwhile, the man's republic is not just uninhabitable but also can't command a N40m rent on a property when serviced flats already go for N25m and beyond in a city built through the ingenuity of Jakande and bastardized under the military but reinvented through the vision of Tinubu and powered by BRF

Recovering stolen property. Free loaders won't give up those properties they occupy all over Lagos cos they have nothing to show for at the rock they hail from in Oshogbo hills.....lol

Blizzle: We have an incompetent minister of aviation that spent billions on rehabilitation of the airports with no noticeable improvement; not to mention the gargantuan overpriced bullet-proof BMW cars that one of the agencies under her ministry purchased for her. It is evident that she is not only incompetent but also a fraud.

In your fantasy world,corruption started from her administration right? You must be Yoruba co? Borishade spent 60billion naira on a single run way at Abuja airport.

UNLEASHED: MMIA is most probably the worst airport in Africa no contest. Nothing at all is right about the airport. From the very poor structural state it is to poor maintenance and mismanagement.
Couple of months ago when I visited Nigeria, I was ashamed to see the arrival lounge running on fan, the fans were even plugged to stabilisers and everywhere was hot, clumsy and smelly.
The officials don't want to do a single thing for you for free. They're rude to the extent you'll want to slap someone, you can't lodge a complaint or ask a polite question without being insulted.
Security officers indirectly beg for stuffs in your bag at Check-in.
Sometimes I wonder if it's the same airport that serves our governors, senators, ministers and president.
No matter how beautiful your house is, the entrance tells a lot.

Yet those same officers will complain about how corrupt the government is. Nigerians are hypocrites, I always give them red nose (clown)when they start ranting.

The only way out is applying the Rawlings treatment. Every public office holder and dishonesty citizens should face firing squad.

Tadon200: why you dey take panadol for another man headache? na your hometown?
if you know there is a scam you can send your findings to sahara reporters. #thank you.

So saharareporters is now justice of truth? You forgot it is own by a man infested with Nigerian skills(corruption)

Babalola Borishade said he spent 60 billion naira on a single run way at Abuja international airport. To Yoruba standard he was not a thief or corrupt. Anyways, they were ones law abiding citizens as those complaining on here before reaching the national cake.

Boko Haram impoverished members are busy killing poor Nigerians while their sponsor's kids fly around the world in gulf streams. Islamic religion is truly practiced by the poor among northerners. I am yet to see a suicide bomber that is a son of dangote or Alhaji Alhaji......Hypocrisy
