Slavery was a normal thing back then. Move on nigga. Blacks sold blacks whites sold whites, Asian sold Asians. Blacks don't want to move on because the West entertain our rubbish. Slavery is still going on in Libya and most Arab countries as we speak. How many of you dare talk to Arabs in their countries the way you talk to whites.

that is Arab way of live superiority you would have know from the religion cause they are Muslim and they believe they are the real and best creature from god but white create their own believe which Arab don't and see it as divine ok

hosemujica:
Thanks for shutting the stupid wanna be race hustler down.

i don't even understand how some people think you are black and accusing your fellow black for what you don't know who did it

stayclearofme:
Lol you are just typing jargons. If you know the rate of killings by blacks in America then you will understand the guy's suspicion. Black kills blacks more than the whites, blacks don't even love themselves.
For your information black Americans are one of the most heartless people on earth if not the most heartless. I live here and I have seen it all.

i can argue with you since you lived there mean you are talking from experience

SarkinYarki:
Mass shooting is different from homicide , homicide encompasses all killings in the use ..God to Chicago and see how many people are killed by their fellow blacks daily

let them kill thirself , make i mind my own for Nigeria

SarkinYarki:
80 percent of homicides in the US are committed by black Americans and this will be same thing ..when the culprit is caught soon I will remind you here...this is how people like you argued with me when I said the Go Kada chap must have been killed by a black and one week later I was vindicated.... Black people are mindlessly violent like for example I say something and the next thing you talk about is me being arrested ...can you see the quality of mind in you ? Unfortunately for you I am not somebody to be arrested and with time it will be clear

i just discovered how poor you think Muslim are the most mastermind of mass shooting but the highest mass shooting in the west is committed by white ,new Zealand ,Australia,America and even Finland mass shooting were done by by white so don't judge what you never know

SarkinYarki:
Sharap. She was killed by a black and when the culprit is caught I will remind you....take this stupid race thing of my mention

i pity you if they arrest you now for interrogation you will post it to nairaland for people to pray for you,inferior complex

RenaissanceGuy:
Complete lie. It's obvious you're not following American TV social media pages.

Nigeria and America are 5 and 6 in crime rate

SarkinYarki:
Definitely killed by a black American..You run leave Bokoharam and Bandits for Nigeria only to meet those heartless black Americans who kill for no reason

why are you such a fool , you stoop so low and even behave like a baby ,how do you know she was killed by her fellow black and you are black yourself instead of hoping white did it so your fellow Nigeria won't face ant accusation i believe your forefather are among those coward who sold their fellow people to white during slavery so that they can lick white ass,

is it a must we have skycrapper,complaining without taking action make stagnant in life ,you have to do something bro

Am not sure this country can become better cause if some people hear positive things about my worst and shithole country their cock shrink

Cybercop2002:
Instead of we planning on how to make the country better igbo ,yoruba and hausa if we keep fighting our dream for a better Nigeria or seceding we keep getting far till it get late but now let act like Rwanda who kill themselves but don't let that discourage dem from coperating for the development of their country,pls before it get late let plan how to get rid of bad government by coperating cause our support for one another will weak them and be a pain in the as s. #hausaigboyoruba we move

a better Nigeria can start from nairaland by putting aside tribalism which the government is using against us to cause chaos cause they know is our weaking point

Instead of we planning on how to make the country better igbo ,yoruba and hausa if we keep fighting our dream for a better Nigeria or seceding we keep getting far till it get late but now let act like Rwanda who kill themselves but don't let that discourage dem from coperating for the development of their country,pls before it get late let plan how to get rid of bad government by coperating cause our support for one another will weak them and be a pain in the as s. #hausaigboyoruba we move

Saintsquare:
Please! try to understand the meaning of boring, Nigeria is lively than all countries in Northern and Eastern Europe combined.

Nigeria is an amazing country if only we have a good government ,from street football to street party aje

I didn't write it na copy nd paste

Parkflash:
I no sure say op understand the meaning of boring

Pls can any give me a vital reason why oduduwa republic is worth fighting for and won't be smaller version of Nigeria?

franchasng:
This one is a bigger project that requires consistent funding.

You need to get approval from the leaders of the agitators first

how can i get it cause i believe we are all fighting but me ain't 100percent fighting cause all the present problem in Nigeria won't disappear there selfish and i senior you mentality will be there ,instead of agitating we should lay our vex on the government like Brazil pressure them to the core till day frustrate and resign or remove them by force

If you can support us in our area in lagos we need flag and litter thing to start yoruba lecture every evening to create awareness

franchasng:
This is a welcome development. Nigeria needs to be peacefully divided so every tribe or region that agrees to form a new country of their own can have total control of their land without some hungry, lanky, cowards calling themselves herdsmen using our common nation security outfits to kill the rest of other tribes and make it seem like they are brave when they can be wiped off the face of the earth by a group of armed teenagers.





I strongly support Oduduwa nation.


If you guys have donation link, please share I will be glad to donate to your cause, but please don't backdown no matter what.


Long live Oodua nation

Lagos is the worst city in the world but best in Nigeria ,all the celebrity and 99% wealthy live there, biggest hotel and club in Nigeria is there,n demanding of ransom in lagos it has never happen ,its very famous and highest number of expat

Cousin9999:
The article neglects one of the most common things an expat in Nigeria, or just about any country, should know: you'll pay more for everything because you're foreign.

Nigerian wash and even lick white as with pleasure

Ok thanks

WoundedLamb:
Paragraph...

A move to the Nigeria will surely be a unique experience for expats, particularly those moving to Lagos. Nigeria's largest city, Lagos boasts a variety of fantastic beach resorts, upmarket boutiques and a lively nightlife. That said, Lagos, as with any big bustling city, has plenty of negatives to go with its positives. We list a few pros and cons below to help prepare expats for their relocation to Lagos. Lifestyle in Lagos + PRO: Diverse options for eating out Lagos is a melting pot of cultures with Western, Asian and African influences. The city's food and eateries are equally diverse, with a broad selection of international and local dishes to feast on. + PRO: Friendly locals Cultural identity is important to Nigerians, and people from Lagos are happy to welcome foreigners and share information, while having a positive energy about themselves. This is true even for those who live in poverty but remain passionate about their work and creativity. + PRO: Vibey atmosphere With a friendly culture comes a love for going out, dancing and having a good time. Lagos is also at the heart of Nigeria’s film-making industry, also referred to as Nollywood. All these factors culminate to produce an exciting lifestyle and environment to keep expats and locals entertained. + PRO: Cheap shopping and clothes Although costs in modern malls are expensive, clothes can be made by local tailors at a much lower rate. Not only is this cheaper, but expats can have unique creations tailored just for them out of the material of their choice. Nigerians are fashionable people and expats can fit right in with locally-designed clothing. + PRO: English is widely spoken Surprisingly, over 500 languages are spoken in Nigeria, with Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba being main national languages. Despite this immense diversity present in one country, English is the official language, which eases doing business and general aspects of life for many expats. - CON: Culture shock There is glaring inequality in Lagos, with the richest of the rich seemingly worlds away from the majority of the population living in informal settlements and slums. While expats are likely to stay in gated communities, this puts them in a bubble and separates them from reality. They may experience some internal turmoil and guilt when they realise the extent of the wealth gap and their own privilege in the country, but changing this is not within expats’ control and need not create feelings of culpability. Working in Lagos + PRO: Attractive salaries and work packages While negative media on crime and life in Nigeria could influence foreigners' thinking, major companies in Lagos still manage to lure expats with glamourous contracts and lucrative salaries. Although Lagos is not Nigeria’s capital, it is the business hub of West Africa and, as such, salaries are high. Additional perks for expats working in Lagos may include accommodation expenses, children’s tuition fees, health insurance, a car and driver, and flights home. - CON: High cost of living Despite major inequality with a large proportion of the city’s population living in poverty, the cost of living in Lagos is on the pricey side. Costs are further pushed up by a need for health insurance, private healthcare and high international school fees. Accommodation in Lagos + PRO: Stress-free accommodation arrangements As part of lucrative expat packages, employers often arrange accommodation and may go as far as covering the costs of this. Otherwise, relocation companies can also ease the house search. Often, accommodation is in gated complexes and communities with glamourous amenities that include WiFi, gyms, tennis courts and swimming pools. - CON: Problematic electricity and water supply Unfortunately, power cuts occur quite often in Lagos regardless of the area expats live in, and this is something they will have to adjust to. Generators and power inverters are a necessity both for doing business and maintaining one’s household. On top of this, despite the city being surrounded by water, access to clean water is low, especially in informal areas. Expats often rely on boreholes for their water supply Healthcare in Lagos - CON: Be prepared to look abroad While private facilities in Lagos provide a decent level of healthcare, serious medical procedures and treatment may require air evacuation abroad, to South Africa, for instance. Expats should ensure that their medical insurance covers this. Weather in Lagos + PRO: Year-round warm weather Temperatures across Nigeria are consistently warm because of its tropical climate and geographic location close to the equator, and make for pleasant conditions year round, perfect for lazing on the beach or exploring nature reserves. - CON: Flood risk Not only is Lagos along the coast and affected by rising sea levels, but its long rainy season also brings many days of heavy rainfall, which could lead to flooding. Safety in Lagos + PRO: Robust security in complexes Given massive inequality and social issues, crime is undeniably an issue in Lagos. However, the complexes and compounds that expats tend to stay in will usually have armed guards, security cameras and access control. This 24- hour security helps to make expats feel safe in their homes. - CON: Violent crime across Nigeria There are frequent reports of kidnappings, muggings, car-jackings and armed robberies in Nigeria. Expats may stand out as foreign nationals and their perceived associated wealth may make them targets for muggings, so it's best to always be vigilant. Expats should heed advice from their employers, hosts and embassies regarding safety especially at night around the city and if they plan on travelling outside of Lagos. Getting around in Lagos + PRO: Several options for getting around Lagos is home to popular yellow minibuses called danfo as well as a Bus Rapid Transit system. For those living or working on one of the islands – or wanting an escape to the sheltered Tarkwa Bay Beach, ferry and boat transport are developing and a great way to dodge traffic. - CON: Nightmarish traffic For expats averse to traffic, driving in Lagos will not be fun. Alongside overpopulation and increased car ownership, there are many cars on the road, poor road infrastructure and undeveloped public transport. Traffic can often come to a standstill during rush hour, and we'd recommend expats find accommodation near their workplace. Another option is to hire a personal driver – sometimes companies offer this as part of a lucrative relocation contract. Education in Lagos + PRO: High-quality international school education International schools are perfect for expats with children who wish to continue their home curriculum and meet other expat and local children and their families. Modern technology and facilities allow for the best educational experience while extra-curricular activities can develop students’ skills and interests. - CON: Expensive fees As is the case worldwide, international schools typically come with a hefty pricetag and stiff competition for places. Expat parents must be willing to put aside a sizeable amount of their salaries for their child’s education, though it's also worthwhile trying to negotiate this expense with their employer as part of their relocation package.

This one made me laugh

no be lie na who wan go pakistan before

Poland,Bangladesh,eygypt,Jamaica,Nigeria ,united Arab emirates and Pakistan ,pls share from your experience are all this plan actually boring . To me Nigeria isnt boring in social life but recreational activity ,sight seeing and nature ain't in Nigeria except you want fulani to catch u

Travelling to many places in the world is
usually an interesting experience mainly
due to the change in culture and how
people approach similar things differently
but there are some countries which are just
plain crappy if you happen to travel there.
We are taking into account local transport,
sight-seeing, recreational activities and in
general a vacation type of place where you
should relax rather than be on your toes.
Here’s the list, check it out and let us know
Also Read - Pakistan to be Banned by FIFA
For Long. 1.Poland
The society is very orthodox, the people are
too religious, the food is bad, talking to
people is very difficult and the taxi service is
just atrocious. Also Read - Suez Canal
Authority Shares Video After Container Ship
Ever Given Refloated | Watch
2.Bangladesh
The country is too crowded, pollution is out
of control, the airport is horrible, no night
life and you feel sad everywhere you look.
3.Egypt
Too freakin’ hot, tour guides will definitely
scam you, too conservative society and the
people are too proud to talk to tourists.
4.United Arab Emirates
Again too religious, laws are beyond logic,
nothing to see except sand dunes,
extremely boring and only good if you have
a business opportunity. If you are not an
Arab, stay clear of this part of the world.
5. Jamaica
You will be mugged for sure, the people
aren’t very friendly, taxi and airport services
are shocking, street violence is beyond
belief.
6. Nigeria
Speaking to the locals is a big issue, the
place is too crowded, again street violence
like you wouldn’t believe and the
transportation is crappy.
7. Pakistan
You wouldn’t go there anyway but the
unstable political system, constant concern
for your safety and the fact that it is
extremely boring are big deterrents to stay
clear of this country.

Nigeria is the best country yet you are going around begging to be sent abroad

use your damm head bro i mean the opposite

TOMSY:
Op @Cybercop2002 Can you now see from the previous comments that if you want to hide things from Nigerians, put it in a book (writing). They don't read. All they do is hastily judge and make decisions (comments).

They've already started insulting you just to sound "savage" - People who most likely do not even know you from Adam.

The article is really true about average Nigerians.


Nice write-up by the way. Great use of sarcasm. OP, please don't let these bunch discourage you. Keep seeking opportunities for yourself.

#It will end in praise.

thanks can you help me sir am jobless

Why Nigeria is the best country in the whole wide world ON November 26, 2013 12:01 AM / IN Femi Aribisala / BY Vanguard Kindly Share This Story: By Femi Aribsala Two weeks ago, I paid a visit to Dubai for the very first time. Dubai is everything Lagos is not. Dubai works: Lagos does not. Dubai is spotlessly clean: Lagos is filthy. Dubai is bathed in gleaming electricity. Lagos is shrouded in darkness. Dubai is organized. Lagos is disorganized. After a few days in Dubai, I longed to be back in Lagos. What is the attraction of Lagos relative to a city like Dubai? The answer is actually very simple. Lagos is the very best city in Nigeria; the very best country in the world. I have traveled all over the world. I have been to the Far East, to the Middle East, to North and Latin America and to Europe. I have been to over 30 African countries. This qualifies me to make this assessment. Nigeria is the very best country in the whole wide world. Made-in-Nigeria There are too many things that make Nigeria exceptional and without equal. If Nigeria were not so wonderful, there would not have been 170 million Nigerians. Because Nigeria is such a great country, we are determined to give birth to as many children as possible so that even more people can partake of the pleasures of living here. We manufacture babies by the thousands and the millions because we are in love with the country. Nigerians don’t commit suicide. Neither do Nigerians ever desert Nigeria. The very worst thing that can happen to a Nigerian is to be exiled from the country. Remember this: Nigeria is nobody’s colony. We refuse to be subject to nobody. We are not under the thumb of the British, the Americans or anyone else. Nigeria is the one African country that can be said to be truly independent. We have nationalized all the nationalize-ables. We own the land. There is no foreign settler- community in Nigeria that holds us captive. We are the kings of our castles. Our very best products are made in Nigeria. We make our own mistakes; make our own choices and make our own beds. We rig our own elections. We forge our own passports. We buy our own lies. We deceive our own people. We choose to live in the middle ages and not in the 21st century. We choose to eat in “bukas” and not in restaurants. We choose to eat with our hands and not with forks and knives. We choose to walk rather than fly. Organised chaos Nigerians are natural-born revolutionaries. We like to struggle. We are always fighting something or someone. We don’t like the easy life. That is way too boring. We thrive when there is chaos. We make a profit, where there is confusion. We rise up to the challenge, where everything is upside down. If something is well-organised, our first assignment is to scatter it. That gives us room to maneuver. We can handle chaos, but order is another problem entirely. Nigerians hate progress. It does not agree with us. Some smart Alec decided to introduce traffic-lights on our roads. But when there are too many cars on the road, the last things you need are traffic- lights preventing people from going where they want. Traffic-lights make drivers wait, when they should be going. That is such a waste of time. The same goes for traffic-wardens. When you have them obstructing the roads, there are going to be tailbacks. But if you want the traffic to flow, let it be a free for all. Then you will see the ingenuity of Nigerians. We will climb up any and every possible place, and convert it to super-highways. Moreover, our roads are theaters where drama is always enacted. That means passers-by don’t have to spend money buying tickets in order to watch our plays. You can watch a very interesting TV series just by sitting on your balcony and watching Nigerians negotiate their way every day. In one afternoon, you will see David killing Goliath. You will see Mohammed Ali fighting Joe Frazier. You will see Arnold Schwarzenegger terminating his opponents. You have to admit this kind of free theater is not readily available abroad. NEPA problem Can you imagine a country where there is 24 hour electricity? That is Nigeria’s worst nightmare. For years, many nincompoops have tried to convince us to improve the electricity situation in the country, but we have wisely refused to be taken in by such deception. Why would we want good electricity when most of what we do is done under the cloak of darkness? Why should NEPA work when there are things that need to be hidden, including the rubbish that have taken over our roads. Any right-thinking person knows there are serious criminal issues in Nigeria that should not be brought to light for the sake of national security. Just think about it: 24 hour NEPA. How boring that would be? Nigerians would have nothing to talk about. We would have nothing to complain about. We would not be able to have tales by the moonlight. We would spend too much time watching television. The economy would suffer because generator sales would plummet. Those of us making ends meet by selling diesel would be in trouble. Generator repairmen, major contributors to the economy, would go out of business. Spare-parts sellers would not be able to sell even good spare-parts, how much more fake ones. Let’s face it; should Goodluck Jonathan succeed in improving the problem of electricity in Nigeria, it will lose him the next election for sure. He will not even be able to secure the nomination of PDP, which we all know is a party of diesel-sellers and generator repairmen. Valuable corruption There is so much talk about corruption. But if there were no corruption in Nigeria, there would be social upheaval. Can you imagine a corruption-free Nigeria? Don’t even bother. It would be disastrous. Millions would die of starvation. How can a man sustain his family if he cannot lie, cheat and steal? As Nigerians, it is high time we come to terms with who we are, instead of pretending to be what we are not. We are a corrupt people. It is not just our leaders: we are all corrupt. We are thieves. We love to steal. We celebrate thieves and give them national awards. We recognize that stealing is an art. To be a successful thief, you have to be skillful; you have to be ambitious; you have to be imaginative; and you have to be courageous. We are criminals because we are smart. We bring innovation to everything. Nigerians know that successful thieves are men of destiny: renowned statesmen; famous politicians; erudite managing- directors. Therefore we eulogise thieves. We sing their praises. We give them chieftaincy awards. We give them our daughters as third wives and concubines. We prefer them as our presidents, governors and legislators. Who wants an honest man as his representative in Abuja? That is a sure way to ensure you will not get your share of the national cake. Had it not been for corruption, Nigeria would not have survived. Corruption is the glue that holds the fabric of the country together. It ensures that, one way or another, we get paid. It provides a social security system. Corruption helps us to redistribute wealth between the rich and the poor. The rich steal from the government; the poor steal from the rich; and everyone is happy. If there were no corruption, there would have been a violent revolution a long time ago. You can pocket a few monies from work illegally because nobody in his right mind expects you to be able to afford even your transportation costs from your meager salary. If you are caught and prosecuted, all you need to do is ask your mother to come to work to plea-bargain for you. Thanks to corruption, we can put food on our tables. We can send our children to school. We can pay for the aso-ebi. We can keep up with the fashion trends. Traffic jams There is one fundamental reason behind the traffic situation in Nigeria. Nigerians are a wanted people. Therefore, we are always on the run. Somebody somewhere is after us and we need to make quick getaways. We are on the run from our wives. We are on the run from our children. We need to get away from our extended families. But even more urgently, we are on the run from the law. We are on the run from the state government. We don’t want to be caught by the friend we borrowed some money from last year. Thank God for traffic jams. Isn’t it wonderful that you can do all your shopping while driving on the road? How many countries do you know where you have that kind of facility? You can even get your car washed while on your way to work; without having to stop or park. And if there is any problem with your car while you are on the road, you will be grateful that you are in Nigeria. One out of every two Nigerian pedestrian is a London-trained mechanic. In case you are wondering, there is London; and then there is Osapa-London. You also don’t need any GPRS in Nigeria. Every pedestrian knows exactly the way to where you are going. So if you are lost, simply ask for directions and then you will really get lost. Conclusion All this explains why, in spite of everything, Nigerians are the happiest people in the world. We are deliriously happy. Don’t believe the lie. Nigerians complain a lot about Nigeria. But that does not mean we would have Nigeria any other way. We complain because we love to complain. If everything was alright about Nigeria, we would be miserable. Let’s face it, Nigerians love Nigeria. Nigeria is the way it is because Nigerians love it so. If it were not so, we would have made amends in over 50 years of independence. One last thing of the utmost importance: Nigeria is the very best country in the world because in Nigeria you will find Nigerians.
