Tulo-tulo area in Yusufari local government of Yobe State.

I love the photos! Keep them coming! I'd love to visit there. Please, pardon my asking, how safe is it travelling there? See tourism money lying waste☹☹

Thanks for sharing!

For this new year fa! When some Nigerians go get sense? Keep arguing amongst yourselves while the world moves on.

Happy new year!

I'm honoured! Happy New Year to you and your family!

Shanghai is the priced jewel of China. It is the most European-ish city in China. It's also home to some of the most expensive real estates in China! A visit to the Bund is a most for visitors to Shanghai. In my opinion, Shanghai is way more beautiful, clean and cosmopolitan than Beijing.

America has been reduced to almost nothing under forbidden administration. Did anything like this happen during Trump without consequences? America is like Nigeria now but on a different and higher level.

Balderdash! Abeg go sleep! So Americans are above the law? What consequences were/are you expecting? If the American diplomat truly committed the alleged crime, then he should be prosecuted in accordance with Turkish laws.

Speaking based on experience as a phone Photographer. Some don't maintain the camera. U need to clean the surface of ur phone camera regularly. Don't make it expose to dust. And also b4 u take a shot. Tap where u want ur focus so as to get a clear and sharp shot. Pictures below are recent pics taken with my Tecno spark 4 I av been using since sep last year. Still as sharp as new

You're absolutely right.

Too many children and adult-children on this forum! Too many ridiculous comments here. Little wonder nobody takes blacks seriously. It is sad some people do not seem to understand that UK makes far much money from Nigeria than Nigeria makes from the UK. I stand with FG on the proposed ban. The ban should be enacted ASAP.

Also, if anyone tells you Asia is a good place to go, ask them to show you Africans living there who have good jobs (not factories or English teaching for crumbs), PR status or citizenship, and decent homes. If they tell you to study there, have them show you African professionals working in Europe and north America with an Asian credential alone. Doctors don't count.

Don't migrants do factory jobs in America, Canada, Europe? Did you just say "teaching for crumbs"? I know Nigerians teaching in China who earn 16k -20k Yuan after tax. I also know there are Nigeria with PR in China, Japan and South Korea although I must admit the number is small. Citizenship? China, Japan, Korea rarely grant citizenships to foreigners; it is written in black and white. The standard of life in some western countries might be higher than what is obtainable in Asian countries but that still mean that life in Asia is awful as often portrayed.

Cousin9999:
They're racist, and don't have anything to offer you. Nowhere in Asia has anything to offer you except China, and that's only if you're finding suppliers for a business, not living there.

The way some people on here blab is outrageous! You lots always throw the racist card into conversations whenever it is convenient for you, meanwhile you lots are some on the most vile tribal and ethnic bigots ever as evidenced by responses on some threads here. You painted an entire continent as having nothing to offer black immigrants. Hmm! There are Nigerians working in China, South Korea, Japan as professionals, teachers, entrepreneurs...The numbers may be small compared with caucasians but we're represented nonetheless.

Limassol:
Thanks! how about menial jobs? And how viable is doing business in China?

Those jobs are mainly reserved for Chinese citizens.

Well, it is the same brain that God gave the chinese man that he gave the African man. The problem is, the African man has refused to use his and that is why he has failed woefully when it comes to creating economically progressive and thriving societies. He is only good at embracing toxic behaviors and lifestyles such as looting the national treasury of his country and keeping the loot in offshore accounts while keeping his people impoverished. He also invites the whites and chinese to mine all his resources while his own people suffer in perpetual hopelessness. If I had to live life all over again, I don't wish to come as an African because I have never met a group of people who hate themselves so much and constantly self sabotage while the world makes mockery of us. Such a shame. By the way, I do not wish to live in such kind of buildings. They are too tall and I have a fear of heights. The neighborhood however looks clean, serene and peaceful just like the one I live in in North America.

Nice submission! I can practically feel your pains from your writing because I feel the same way, too. Whenever I walk around my neighbourhood most times all I feel is sadness because average Nigerians back home can not enjoy anything close to the same tranquility and quality of life that the people are enjoying. It is sad that black Africans have refused to develop; have blatantly refused to catch up with the world; have resigned themselves to a life of poverty in perpetuity. It is painful to watch the underdevelopment of Nigeria. We have oil but can't refine what we have! Who does that? Only a nitwit would . Sometimes I can't help wondering if there's something wrong with the DNA of black Africans.

Limassol:
Great Thread! what opportunities are there for prospective Nigerian immigrants keen to move to China?

Hi! There are jobs in China especially for people with the required skills. People who studied for their Masters or PhD do stand better opportunities to land jobs than someone with a foreign bachelor's degree because of China's burgeoning population. English teaching jobs used to be easy to land especially for foreigners with good pronunciation skills, but all that is changing since the government begun clamping down on English training centres. You may want to Google for jobs in China. All the best to you.

I understand how Lewandowski feels. He feels he was robbed. But that isn't the truth. 2020 was without any doubt Lew's year. Sadly the Balon d'Or didn't hold because of COVID-19. In all honesty, I thought the organisers would present two awards - 2020 and 2021's. That would've have been the best thing to do. Lewandowski is a remarkable goal scorer. Messi on the other hand is a complete footballer- he passes, assists, attacks, defends and scores. Finally, winning the elusive Copa America did it for Messi.

Odoogu:
Thanks bro. Stay safe and regards to your family.

Sure will. Thanks.

OLDESTWARRIBOY:
China, the only country that make USA panic.


China go come finally win the highest medals...So if USA come, Dem no come...it's a win win for China

Meanwhile Nigeria go there go protest and sue addidas say Dem no drop enough jerseys..

Diplomatic boycott dosen't US. athletes won't be in Beijing.

Teslason:
Beautiful to behold!

It is. Nigeria can be that, too, if our leaders truly desire it to be so because development starts from the top.

Odoogu:
Bro, I still dey naija here... We dey hustle am out together. No money no love ni ..

But me grind dey more important

Good luck ! Hustle go surely pay.

Simeonjoe1:
Well I no go blame them. As some one mentioned in a thread maybe na the discipline they give our leaders back then'to beat sense comot your body'. That's why their senseless and clueless now, you can't eat your cake and have it. If you dey beat sense comot for your pikin body cause you want him to behave, how will you expect him to use sense if he finds himself in leadership position. Like someone said let's just return to our ancient ways. If not because of oyibo phone and aeroplane how would we know of all these advancement in foreign countries. By the way our forefathers maintained the culture and tradition till 1900 living in their huts and appeasing the gods, and they are all content with it. Even though oyibo don dey drive Benz and build skyscrapers but dey no complain cause our culture and tradition is enough for them to maintain.

That's an interesting angle. May Nigeria someday in the nearest future become a country we will all be proud of.

Odoogu:
Nice one....
Bro, not to pry, how you take run am?

Hahaha! Na normal love wantintin. One thing led to another na so marriage follow after some years of dating. Then pikin follow. How about you?

Odoogu:
It's been interesting interacting with you.
Well about the questions... Are you a student or you work and live there? In china I mean.

The latter. My family's here, too.

Odoogu:
Amen to that.

Amen again! It's been nice having you on this thread. Be free to ask me questions.

Odoogu:
I don't know too... But there is a greater probability that happening maybe soon than before. The youths have the most number in this population as nigeria is concerned, and with the recent happenings, that should count for something.

Absolutely it does count for something! May our nation change for good in the nearest future.

Odoogu:
...
Bro, very true.
But I didn't wonder for too long.
Now that's a different ball game entirely. We forget the power is with us and not them.

Gbamsolutely!
Will Nigerians put aside their differences for once and fight for their collective good? I dunno, bruv!

Odoogu:
Very shameful.
Is it the politics or the government?
Cos it applies to every sector of the economy

Both and more. It's a fundamental problem. But it starts from the very top (the govt). Mismanagement of our resources by the govt - past and present, created poverty which has conditioned a great proportion of Nigeria to accepting being short-changed as a way of life. Then came divisive politics aimed at polarizing the have-nots; pitching the have-nots against themselves, to the gratification of the people in power. Haven't you ever wondered why Nigerians sing praises when a politician fixes a portion of bad roads under his constitution? Systemic poverty has eaten up the brains of a lot of Nigerians.

One dividends of Buhari's recent visit to the UAE. Well done!

Odoogu:
I tell you.
And you wonder how often and often they visit these countries without learning nothing.

They visit but sadly they refuse to implement a tiny fractions of the development models you saw. It's shameful.

A governor builds a flyover, drums are rolled out!
A governor commissions a small bridge, red carpets are rolled out!
A governor commissions a few street lights, praise singers herald him!
A governor commissions a roundabout, funfair every where!
Nigerian! A unique breed of people!
Obiano did well for the airport he built in Anambra State. No cap! I salute him for it! But a stadium? Hmmm!

Odoogu:
Y person no go live long if him dey live for this kind environment.

You self dey reason am!
Development is not space science. But our leaders make it appear so!

More photos

This serviced estate is like a mini city with a kindergarten, primary school, shops, ATM points, recreational centres, two swimming pools, a refuse management facility, playgrounds etc. The base floors of every highrise building is specially dedicated for the elderly to relax, play games and workout thereby preserving their lives. Nigerians, too, can better lives if our leaders desire it to be so.

Life is beautiful. It is even more beautiful when one has around him the amenities that contribute to making life truly beautiful, satisfying, meaningful and livable. Indeed life should be lived in pleasure and tranquility. Unfortunately this is not case for a lot of Nigerians to whom life has become a never-ending struggle without the wherewithal to own their dream homes. I strongly believe average Nigerians can live in better houses if our leaders truly desire for it to be so. Again, I also believe Nigeria can have constant electricity supply if our leaders truly desire it to be so. Nigerians in respective of their geopolitical regions, religion, political affiliations...can get to enjoy life if our leaders truly desire it to be so. In all sincerity, I wish to see Nigerians live life like is deserving of citizens of an oil rich country. We deserve better.
Today, I bring you photos from a housing estate in a 3rd tier city in Hunan, China. For a better perspective, a 3rd tier city is similar to what Surulere is to Lagos State.
