I have learnt how to drive with about 3 cars but still dont know how to. as they are explaining to me, it will enter the right ear and flies out through the left ear. May God help me.

Mine was excellent . It started in front of my house, my cousin gave me the normal introduction blah blah blah and I formed guru as usual he then asked me to start the car which I did as a guru and oversabi still and all of the sudden , a certain evil spirit took over my whole system. my hands and legs started moving at the same time and the evil spirit reversed the car smoothly into the very big and deep drainage infront of our house. We came out unhurt I was shaking but didn't cry till my "wicked elder sis" came out of the house, looked at the scene and said " wow! I like ur driving skills and then she screamed Mummmmmmmmy come and see o! "

Leave the mumu. Make in no go hustle dey write epistle up and down

light099:
The thread seemed perfect until I saw 'Africa's biggest Artist, Davido'. Op is obviously pulling off an expensive joke up there and only teasing the Frogged voice. Froggy never claimed himself to be versatile singer. He's only an artiste in the minds of wacks.
Is it composition, lyrical message, singing voice or singing ability? He has non of these, the reason why he sees himself more as a clout chaser than a musician.
'Lonely' by Akon beats all the albums of Froggy and those Chinagorom Onuoha (Africa China) old school songs are way ahead of his unreleased future albums.
Get the record straight, these are some of the greatest artistes in Nigeria - Tuface, Psquare, Lagbaja, Nosa and many others.
Especially you'd notice some of these artistes are multi-talented. Psquare can dance and sing, Lagbaja is a skillful singer and also a good saxophonist. It's only in a clueless indomie generation filled with confused wack kids, you see people pick a talentless frog over multi-talented individuals.
This generation of Nigerian indomie generation are so wack and confused, and are highly susceptible to mental manipulations. They don't know what good, quality premium stuffs look like. That is why it's easy to force any wack down their throats. Musically, Oritsefemi is a better singer than Froggy.

This is sad for Nigeria at 60; the old men are clueless, the younger generation is even more clueless, wack and confused.
Advanced countries are not filled with some clueless people who just got lucky. These are highly sophisticated minds who keep getting their shiit right, over and over.
Y'all can't continue to think like unsophisticated wacks, while you continue to expect your country to look like America. Some things are never achieved by luck or accident. The argument, philosophy and mentality of a typical kid on a forum like this, could make Aristotle writhe in his grave. Too many wacks in the land.
More sadly, as clueless as everyone is, you see that people are still arrogant in ignorance. Never teachable, never taking to corrections, never ready to learn the right thing, just a set of arrogant, ignorant wacks who want their country look like America overnight.
Corruption is just a part of the problem, cluelessness is another epidemic, eating up this great nation. A lot of things call for concern.
Happy 60th independence day.

All this epistle on top one person Lamborghini?

seguno2:
Focus on agriculture when the Fulani herdsmen terrorists will destroy your crops and even kidnap you join?
If they can do that to Olu Falae, is anyone safe

Why den never kidnap you?

EgunMogaji2:
Thanks for the mention.

Personally I cannot in good faith recommend that anyone should move to Nigeria. You should move to Nigeria because that's is where you want to be, not based on recommendation from someone else.

DO NOT MOVE TO NIGERIA IF:

You need uninterrupted electricity.

You need safe pipe borne water.

You need hygienic waste management system.

You are anxious about safety.

You need a government with clear policies.

CONSIDER MOVING TO NIGERIA IF:

You fancy yourself as the early Americans who came in killed all the Indians, took their lands and became overlord. Pretty drastic statement I know but to survive in Nigeria you need to be near ruthless. Not unlawful but ruthless. It has been my experience that being seen as kind, generous, caring is taken as a sign of weakness and a mumu.

To OP:

I was born in Nigeria and grew up here till I finished poly.

I retired back to Nigeria 18 months ago after 33 years in the USA. As an American citizen i could pretty much move to almost any country in the world and live there successfully on my retirement income. I chose to come back to Nigeria because frankly I love Nigeria and I could give my little means back to the country that gave me so much.

There hasn't been one day that I didn't wish I returned much earlier as Nigeria is good, very good, to me. This is much to the chagrin of most on here whop sees Nigeria as nothing but a death wish. I suppose I could share there macabre ideology about Nigeria if a was a 20 something year old that is still finding himself.

Moving to Nigeria should never ever be done on a whim. It's should be attacked like a military assault.

My move started around 2010. After I left in 1986, I didn't return for a visit until 2006, 20 years gone. On that trip I was able to see some changes and opportunities in Nigeria. So I made a plan to start spending my yearly vacations in Nigeria so I can get used to it. Between 2006 and 2010 I came home once every two years.

Come 2010 I really started putting things in gear. I came home much more frequently, some years twice. Between 2015 and 2019 I came home around 4 times a year. This is important, the back to back trips. It's on these trips that I convinced myself that I could actually do this. Live in this near lawless, ungovernable country and actually have fun and pursue opportunities.

One sunny day in 2019 sitting at my desk in the office in Los Angeles I upped and quit my lucrative career and move back to Nigeria. Now I moved back to my own house that I've built in that timeframe and fully furnished, my own vehicles that I've stashed in that timeframe.

I wrote all this in detail for others to read carefully as they make their choices. One of the most difficult things for returnees is when they move back and they have to rent or live with families that they hardly know. Some think they can only make it in Lagos or Abuja and pay N1M a year rent. I pay N0 rent. Some can't drive and take Uber. I pay N0 because I drive myself (mostly after heavy praying).

You cannot do a successful business without being on the ground and doing your own critical study. All the studies and plans that I made about Nigeria while I was in the USA has been thrown away. It's near useless.

So in closure, move to Nigeria because it's what you want to do, not because someone think it's a good idea. Move to Nigeria with residence and vehicle already sorted out. Have a bank account already funded (you can do this while your win the oversea).YOu can fund your bank without going through anyone so no one will know if you are a thousaniare or millionaire. And for the love of god do not use your actual physical home address at the back. The staff are suspects.

Good luck too all of us, those of us coming back, those of us heading out and those of us already here.

PS: Rely on no one. Your friends/family have their own palava going on. Most of the promises made too you while you're in the abroad will not pan out.

PPS: Nigeria is blindingly expensive, frankly I don't know how some do it. You will need to stop using pounds/dollars to justify at some point. I have a gen that I run and it consumes N5K gas in 3 days. Some people only make N20/N25K per month. So relatively I am wasteful.

Wait till they come and attack you and start asking unnecessary questions. All because den wan spoil their country.

I returned to 9ja after 3 years and he surprised me how deranged Nigerians be.

Government do good. They must complain.

Government do bad. They must to complain.

Drive 2015 car. They look you with bad eye for street.

Drive bad car. They treat you like trash.

If I go comot 9ja again. No be because of bad government. But because 80% Nigerians themselves no good.

michlins:
You people will say the government isn't attracting investors. Same you will scare out the investors and cry about unemployment.

It's not just about this OP but millions of others who read Nairaland

Nigerians deserve the leaders and economy they have.

ubunja:
man it doesn't matter what people think. What matters is what your wife thinks. She thinks you're stingy. So what are you going to do about it?

Who be this SIMP now?
