A 5 year old kid is more advanced and sound, than a 15 year old in Nigeria. Environment plays a major role in all ramifications.

Note that once you get married, your life takes a nosedive and the generational poverty cycle is engrained in your family. You become responsible for your wife and kids. Little wonder men die earlier that women because of financial pressure.
I know we are all upset about Nigeria . But this is not true.

1)Unless that 15 yr old is developmentally delayed.
2) Nigerian women make money too

Votes came in late because Trump knew Biden supporters would vote by mail. So he did a lot to slow down the mail system.
All votes that were sent out before or on election date are valid and will be counted. It’s not the voters’ fault that Trump tried to sabotage it.

Votes coming in after election day. What's the name of this type of election? And how can you inculcate this new election in government curriculum?

That’s good to know. Your description is making me hungry grin.

Lol, you can actually buy a good meal for N500.

Because I don't like to cook, I know good caterers/restaurants who offer nice meals at great prices.

With N500, I can buy pap & akara, boiled yam and egg sauce at one of such restaurants or just by okpa by which will cover breakfast and lunch due it's filling nature.

But some people only work 3 days a week and that’s enough. Your bro’s experience is not general. Not saying he’s lying or saying the truth. That’s just his reality.

Now onions is 3 for #500. How person wan chop breakfast and lunch with that amount?
faoogoke:
By a brother in
diaspora.
If you don't know how you are blessed, you will think your father's farm is worse than your friend father's farm. Do not be deceived, Nigeria is not the best country but it is a good one.

$1 is #500 and so what?
Let me elucidate from my little experience. Can anyone in USA use $1 for breakfast? No. But in Nigeria #500 will feed you for breakfast and lunch. Majority of people's monthly house rent (self contained apartment) in the USA is $1,000 and above, and that is your own 2 year's rent.

Have you ever paid for insurance before, insurance in US is $280 and that is almost #100,000 monthly.

When last did you pay monthly phone bills? I pay almost #40,000 monthly and if I don't, they are going to block my SIM. Your own MTN can be there for months without recharge.

When last did you work on Saturday and Sunday? This I do compulsorily and on regular basis.

Don't get me wrong, the USA is better than Nigeria, depending on which angle you are viewing it. Do you want to hear the truth? Many people in Nigeria live a more fulfilling life compared to their counterparts abroad. Forget about all the packaging on social media and give credit to the good life you are living.

Do you know why they always come to Nigeria and rush back quickly? Because bills are counting and elongated freedom will put their lives into jeopardy. If you, as a black, attempt to emulate the whites, they will kneel on your neck. Apart from Congo, no citizens in the entire universe enjoy life to the fullest than Nigerians.

You are abundantly blessed but you don't know until you get visa and relocate to abroad, that is when you will know that your 8hrs job in Nigeria with free weekend is awoof. With 8hrs job abroad, you can only pay bills, you will need another 6 to 8 hours to save for the future and plan your life.

The truth is that the grass is green everywhere, it's lack of vision by our politicians and the skewed religious practices (which placed emphasis on miracles) that ascended Nigeria onto a myopic tentacle of complete inertia.

Why don't you comment on each of the points raised NOT to show the folly of his review, but for readers to have a wider view on the subject matter of living overseas and for them to compare and contrast different views on the matter.

Cc: Hathor, Cococandy is the OP's view/experience an accurate representation of the what living in the US is like? Hathor I don't even know which country you reside in but I'm assuming it's the US and if it's not, still share your thoughts.
It’s a continent honestly. Same federal govt but It’s like someone comparing Nigeria and maybe Cameroon in certain areas. Cultures actually differ, weather differs, wages and cost of living differs (and sometimes the difference in pay May or May not make up for it).
The people can be distinctly differentiated by their attitude from state to state. This thing called money is very different from state to state here. I’m very familiar with 3 states here inside and out and finances are very different in each state. Doing the same job.

Each person’s review is subject to their own worldview and experience. That’s why I don’t do all these abroad/naija back and forth on NL.

The ones that have lived here for 50+ years will come and give their own expertise and it will look nothing like your reality as someone who’s also here but not as long as they have been. A blind man will describe an elephant based on the part he can feel.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Supreme Court Orders Pennsylvania Democrats To Respond In Ballot Dispute by cococandy(f):
This is exactly what he planned.

He knew Biden voters would vote in mail. Plan was to delay the counting and then claim the counts are fraudulent because it exceeded Election Day. Then incite his followers to react violently and thereby steal the democracy.

Meanwhile no mail was accepted after Election Day. So WTF is he on about?
Trying to discredit legal votes because he knows they are not for him. He has never gotten anything square and fair. Always cheating.

I voted in October. I’ll be damned if he thinks my vote doesn’t count because I didn’t go into the corona line to go vote for him.

purpinkx:
Trump Sha.

Open mail > Confirm ID, signature, and vote> Record vote> rinse and repeat

So we're there supposed to finish counting the mailed in votes the same day electronic voting ended?

Reason am

Trump told his supporters to come and vote in physical.

Biden told his supporters if they are scared of CoVid19 and cannot come out, they should mail in their votes

Foreign Affairs › Re: "We Are On Track To Win The US Election" - Biden Speaks (Video) by cococandy(f): 5:07pm On Nov 04, 2020
I voted weeks ago. In October.

And truthfully I won’t be really sad about who actually wins or doesn’t win because at this point it’s almost 50-50. (I Definitely prefer a Biden win).

What saddens me is that we have that amount of people walking among us who support the evil that is Trump. Even if Biden wins, I’m still scarred for life.



Klass99:
The way you carry this matter for head, funny me die.

Have you voted? Who is winning so far or who has been declared winner already?

The kind shock & awe most of us experienced when Hilary Clinton no win last time eehhnn! grin

Then Atiku too no come win for Naija, I say I no go tension myself on top elections like that, ever again. It's a fever inducing something when your candidate doesn't win.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Claims Victory, Says He Will Dispute Election Count At Supreme Court by cococandy(f):
Under Trump, America has no right to interfere in other countries’ affairs in the name promoting human rights and preventing dictatorial abuse.

The cognitive dissonance scares me. He’s exactly what he claims to fight. His supporters have me mind blown. when we learned about what Hitler did, people ask “so no one stopped him?” It’s so easy to see how such a man can be in power and no one will stop him. Hitler’s people died in his defense. Defending his right to exterminate the Jews. It’s apparent Trump’s people will do the same for him.

Xisnin:
You are right. I have some "law and order" associates who always defend American cops' abuses because of their love for Trump. At the same time, they hate Buhari for security forces high-handedness. All attempt to make them see reasons usually fails. What's shocking is that Trump support even cross religious lines, at least in western Nigeria, because they believe that a "tough" man like Trump is the messiah Nigeria needs.

My vote for the man who appeals to the educated, tolerant, non-racist, misogynistic, homophobic, religious bigots.

A man who knows and accepts that he will be voted out by his supporters if he doesn’t follow the rule of law.

Not a cult leader

But they voted him out in favor of this stooge.
GEJ was too good for us.
If not that I’m affected, I’d have said we deserve everything Buhari is currently doing to us.

I almost want the same for USA but I’ll be affected as well so I pray he doesn’t win. Those minions needs another four years of Trump so that by the time he’s done, USA will be hiding her head in shame in the class of first world countries. It’s already happening. Ordinary covid, and we have been affected more than so called third world “ shyte holes.” Disgraceful

Will you keep quiet
Did you see any bullion van moving to Jagaban house in US ? Did you see you security harassing electorates. Can't you see peaceful protest going on in white house now without police harassment.? Have you seen any lost of life?
Right now your president is busy arresting and freezing the accounts of t #EndSars protesters. What a shame !! GEJ allowed him and his gullible followers to protest freely in 2015 without been harassed. look at Ganduje from northern , who fired his aid because he said something against PMB. The era of democracy is far gone . Even the his Lai Mohammed is looking forward to crack down social media. Check the United, citizens insult their president freely, Trumps enjoys that on Twitter . But try it in Nigeria, You would be dead before 24hrs .

Xisnin:
It is rare to find someone who dislikes Trump and Buhari's behavior. It is usually one or the other.
I dislike both of them. People seem not to be perceptive but there’s a striking similarity in both of their governments . Starting right from when they began running, their governing styles and their followers.

Both Trump and Buhari got elected on the wings of hate. And by that I mean, their predecessors were both minorities in their given countries. This didn’t sit well with their born-to-rule, cult-type of followers. It never did from the beginning of the time when Goodluck or Obama ran. For a typical Trump or Buhari supporter, it’s better for the country to burn to the ground than for someone who belongs to the minority group to be in leadership.

While the country is obviously burning ( see Nigeria currently and see USA in it’s current shameful state), these cult-like zombie-type supporters will rather follow the leader to the grave than admit that everything is wrong with the direction the leadership is taking them. It’s like a mindless zombie fest.

Sprinkle in religious intolerance on both sides. Shameless Christians who support someone like Trump and people who support Buhari because he’s a Muslim, I don’t see a difference.

If a mail was time stamped before Nov 3, it is good to go.
if dRump had his way, any mail-in ballot would be discarded. He has been trying for months to cripple the usps so that mail votes will be harder to come in this season.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Claims Victory, Says He Will Dispute Election Count At Supreme Court by cococandy(f):
People commenting here, do they even know what mail-in ballots are?

So someone who voted days ago and sent it in the mail should not have their vote counted because the mail system was slow?

The mail was slow because Trump did his best to fvck up the mail system: He tried so hard to jeopardize it so that the sensible people who sent in mail votes will be disenfranchised.

Stunned.
