when did the conduct their elections? Was it democratic or were they imposed?

He he he.

I am waiting for people who claimed Aregbesola wanted to secede when he did the same thing in the State of Osun

So if dem no declare independence, The govt of Retardeen wont remember them

Mikel, Song I dont regard that high.

Martinez I havent seen long enough, De Rossis form has dropped in the last 4yrs.

Alaba was falling down and he had to break his fall before the dolt Kassai awarded a penner and yellow

freecocoa: Seriously,I'm almost in tears.

I don't understand something though,is it that the husband doesn't love her or what? How can a man be so mean to his heavily pregnant wife?

I just don't get it and it makes this marriage thing so scary.

I am the only way. You better join the queue for me. I am the best guy around

debosky: Relax mate. . . just some pre-season chain yanking.

Nateevs obviously hasnt got laid in eons.

I suggest you enter the place with 1025

Pregnancy .

na wa ooo

Beaf: According to your commissioner, Oyinlola borrowed 18billion in in 4 years, but Aregbesola has already borrowed 7billion in one year plus to raise the debt profile to 25billion.

Lets even use Aregbesola's false 18billion figure. Borrowing at 7billion per year will put AregbeRASCALS borrowing at 28billion for four year, 10 whopping billion more than Oyinlola for the same period. Yet, how much does Osun generate and how can it survive outside awuf allocations?
Just agree that Aregbesola is a worthless governor and a political error.
The man is not just a lazy awuf luv'n phuck, but also a liar and teller of high stories, he is also a borrowing machine that is leading Osun to an unrecoverable position in the gallows. A man with zero imagination who lacks the mental comportment to and creativity to develop his state and make it independent of the beggarly monthly sums from Abuja.

Now, please call yourself "freaking baastardddd with no intellectual or lineage values to cherish."

Comedy!

This m0r0n is back again.

Oyinlola took 18b. Was osun State without debt pre-Oyinlola? Bastardddd?

[quote author=Kay-Dee][size=13pt] @Ronke Texas ain't no fun , well not as lively as it is up north.
@pDude, as per opportunities, u're damn right, its the place to be but still not 'a bed of roses'. [/size][/quote]Actually Texas is good for Nigerians because the weather is similar to nigeria though can be very hot in Summer.

Texas is business friendl all the major corporations are moving to texas cos of the favourable tax regimes

Dallas and Austin are becoming a huge IT hub. Companies like Dell, IBM, Oracle, are already there or moving there

Many banks are also moving their operations to Texas. JPMorgan was the first to open followed by Citi and I heard BoA is moving too.

Texas. Houston Specifically is the Oil capital of the whole world. All Oil Companies have huge offices in Houston.

If you are a Naija Owambe person, then there is no reason you shouldnt move to Houston you would party like you are in oshodi

Most of the Naija Politicians and businessmen also frequent the area and have one or two houses/businesses there.

kokoye: Let me know when and / or if you decide to move to Houston.

She is going to Austin . She is going to UT

manny4life: LOL... Now you see why I hate summer, I don't even wait, I just walk and sweat it out...

You dare not walk in Houston or Dallas.

Those places as soo far away.

Walking on Beltway 8, or 59 in Houston, 635, George Bush turnpike, Loop 12 (In Dallas) Can land you anywhere from the morgue to to orthopaedic)

Drivers in Texas as also some of the craziest.
When I just got to Houston, I missed my bus the last of the day. And I trekked almost 3hours to get home, What you can do 15-20 drive

coogar: did you just drop on this planet? nigeria use phones to judge success.
a [color=#000000]f[/color]ucking mobile phone!!!

You are going too far, Phone, Cars.

What of people who use fake foreign accent to judge success.

[quote author=Kay-Dee][size=13pt] Biking in Houston won't get you too far, unless by bike, u mean "power bike" . If you don't have a car in Houston, u're quarter to being f***kd [/size][/quote]true for the whole of texas

nothing sucks like waiting for the metro bus in 100 degree sun

[quote author=A-town]Try riding your bike in Texas and see if you wont get KNOCKED THE FEeCK off by the "Big in Texas" TRUCKS.
Heck, if i see you or one of those oyinbo people preaching "work out/saving the planet crap" while riding your bike, i will personally clear you off the road. Work out ko work out ni. What is LA fitness there for. I got one barely 1.5miles away and i DRIVE there...PROUDLY TOO. [/quote]I cancelled my LA Fitness, Most apartments now have gyms in the complex

werepeLeri: You dont know the meaning of savings?

is it not from their savings they send money home? or do you think its their rent they send to nigeria?

werepeLeri: What percentage of people who travel abroad can boast of 10 dollar savings? Abeg.

LOL. Noone suffers in the diaspora? Noone lives under the bridges? Noone begs for bread?

If they cant boast of $10 saving how do they now get the billions they send through western union yearly

[quote author=A-town]Guy calm down juh. When i transferred bk to naija, i lived in VGC and did not even pay up to 3million naira per year for a very nice house. 70000 is like 11.2 million na. Make una dey "tey slow slow na".
No be this same naija ni. Yeah life on the island is expensive but stop making it seem unnecessarily outrageous. People are living the good life in naija.[/quote]Check that link I posted.

Service flats in Nigeria way back 2007 was around $50k per annum and Its only reasonable for it to be $70k this year

On this same nairaland, Go to property section and search for service flats and see the prices.

werepeLeri: Says who? So those who hustle in Nigeria dont make it? Nigeria must indeed be hell. Who are those who drive those cars I see on the streets and build those houses I see around town? People from abroad?

Who are those you see in the Embassy trying every possible way to jet out of Nigeria?

WHo are those you see filling visa lottery form every yr hoping one day they would be lucky

I guess they are Aliens

werepeLeri: Big lie and you yourself know you are lieing..

What is the big lie? Ask pdude, he would tell you

manny4life: Dayo, let me ask you, so you're suggesting that U.S. is way better than Nigeria in cost of living? However, I have tens of cousins who have returned and are doing excellently well, and they don't even complain about it, so, what gives?

The fact is that nothing is for free anywhere in the world

You have to pay one way or the other

For you to live at the standard you are used to in US you have to live in a service flat. Cost of service flats can be up to $70,000 per year.

now tell me where in the US you would pay $70,000 for accomodation in somewhere is 1004 stadards. 1004 opposite Civic center in Ozumba Mbadiwe?

https://www.nairaland.com/478419/6-units-3bdr-service-flats

ocelot2006: Residents earn about N200k in Federal Govt. owned hospitals. Consultants earn much more (about N500k or so). That isn't so bad. That said doctors in the USA earn a lot more.

And what happens to them after residency?

I am sure pdude would give you first hand experience.

I have a friend who is a doctor, the guy was telling me maybe he would go on the street and start hustling cos the thing doesnt pay at all in Nigeria.

I know several Doctors who are now bankers due to poor conditions of living

pDude: God bless you bruv. You have spoken well. It's not very easy starting out over here, but if you put your minds to it and work hard, thongs will turn for you. Nigeria is a very hard place so I decided to leave even though I knew the difficulties experienced abroad, I knew that with hard work you can make it big. I'm presently experiencing the other side of the American dream but I know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Guys, this is how to make it here. Take Kokoye's advice.

Pdude, You no suppose dey even complain. In another 5yrs your mates for Naija no go recognize you again. By the time you pass your USMLE and finish your residency. Depending on your specialisation the least you would be earning is 200k per yr and might even be up to 400k-500k depending sef

You are just paying your dues now in a few yrs time na to dey collect Chieftancy titles left and right for naija go remain

kokoye: I decided against giving my opinions on posts like this because some people will not just understand - it depends on which side you are facing.

When I was in grad school and doing security work, a typical Nigerian would see me and thing I was wasting my life away because I had a 'fantastic' job back in Naija. But for me, it was a means to an end. With the money I made from being a security man in America, I was able to pay for my masters, had my own apartment, send money to my parents and sisters and travelled around the world regularly. Would a security man in Nigeria be able to do that? I think not but I stand corrected.

Now, years after I finished school here, I am enjoying the fruit of my labor and God has been good to me. Almost all of my friends are very successful in this country because they went to school here and have paid their dues as well.

If you think America is a bed of roses where you can come and land it big without working hard or struggling, you're kidding urself..or maybe you are into 419. But then, who knows.

The issue is most people meet us here when we are struggling and working hard and decide every Nigerian in America is in financial pain. Open your eyes and you will see Nigerians doing very well here. To join that team, you must be ready to work hard and then reap the fruits.

Come to Texas and you will see illegal immigrants working hard (manual) and buying houses and cars cash down. Yes I said it. If you are ready to work hard in this country, you will make it. No one cares what kind of work you do.

I dont know what's going on in Nigeria but I know life is not a bed of roses anywhere - you must work hard either in Nigeria or wherever. People are getting rich or broke in every nation. That's life.

Bros Long time.

this is someone I know in real life. And I can tell you this guy here is very comfortable unlike several posters here who dont even have jobs and would be trying to sell you porkies about how naija is better.

I worked in naija at the best places and I can compare. Maybe in the future naija would be better but right now forget. I still have siblings in Nigeria and I get a daily report

manny4life: Did you say enough? Hmm, enough is overstatement, besides the tax bracket is high for most of those folks who earn such amounts. Some one who earns $100,000 here and someone who earns $100,000 in Nigeria, I strongly believe the person in Nigeria has enough money than person here.

The kind of life you would live on a 100k salary in USA, you would need 250k to live in it in Lagos Nigeria

How much would you buy a house in a decent place the US vs in Nigeria? How much do you service your car? How much would you pay for basic things you take for granted like light and water?

How about the wear and tear on your car? How many times have you ever taken your car to mechanic due to bad roads etc?

How much do you pay Security guards aka Aboki in US? How much would you pay for hospital bills?

Ever wonder why almost every rich man in Nigeria want their wife to deliver abroad?

mylunch: Here is my point,abroad is not heaven as is believed by most persons,is certainly not crime free,there are no such things as serial killers back home,this just one in a million crimes here.

There are no serial killers?

Ok whats Clifford orji? Whats the Okija shrine? Whats the numerous killers in almost every part of Nigeria

Tolaaaaannni: Rosy ko, Daisy ni. Their isn't much here anymore, matter of fact once im done with med school im coming back home.

Do you know how much Medical Doctors earn in Nigeria compared to US?

A lot of my friends after medical school had to leave medicine completely and some even worked in banks when the Salary of w Doctor was less than 100k while their colleagues who werent as smart in banks were netting 200k

werepeLeri: and what has the question here got to do with if America is better than Nigeria? Question is - is it still rosy out there. Simple as ABC.

Being rosy is always in comparison to something

Compared to nigeria, i would still say its Rosy very rosy

kokoye: This past week, three of my friends were robbed at gun point while they stopped at the traffic light under the Folomo bridge on the V.I side. These were separate incidents and all happened between 7 & 8pm on separate days.

I hope the relevant authorities are taking note.

Maybe they would tell us Falomo isnt Lagos or it isnt Island

deshclones: naija has no verifiable statistics man..thats why anybody can open his yap and spew conflicting figures...unemployment is not that bad...any hardworking guy in naija will definitely eat..its a fact..just that so many peeps want white collar jobs,jobs they will sit under a/c and work...you must be privy to the thread on dangote's company's recruitment of graduate drivers..you also saw silly statements lazy youths were making...nobody wants to farm or do other business that will generate money....i was into property business b4 i got my present job and was making average of 70-100k in a bad month..same with so many guys that are making money,same as barbers,recharge card sellers...go to balogun,ladipo,nnewi,etc and see young able bodied youths making mad money..in ladipo for example,you see guys that will approach you,take you to shops ..

Beaf: Whenever I hear people saying this stuff, I assume that they are id!ots who have never left their villages. But I bet your village is no better than an abandoned cassava farm that depends on oil awuf from the Niger Delta.

We and our Eastern bruvs regularly top JAMP and GCE scores, so I wonder what that says about schools and litteracy elsewhere? Lol!

The banks, nollywood and press are the next biggest revenue generators after oil in Nigeria. Broda! Ayam feri feri pleased to h-inform you dat di Niger Deta pipo h-own h-almost all banks, we h-own h-almost all the press and di 'ead quarters h-of nollywood h-is h-in Asaba, Deta state.
Go h-and sheck it. Hidiot!

Aside from Lagos, the Niger Delta is by far the most developed part of Nigeria. My state alone (Delta) can boast at least 4 towns outside of the state capital that are the equivalent of the average state in the SW (outside Lagos) and in the North. Compare Warri, Sapele, Ughelli and Abraka to your state capital and weep for your ignorance.
A state like Rivers has Port Harcourt which every camel knows and places like Bonny Island which can only be compared to the likes of London. Dangle from a tree, bro:

chucky234: My Yankee guys have so been divided on this issue,why majority of them admitted that things are really hard down there few other still think otherwise.
To be honest things are damn hard in the states,even my big sister (a white American) is hoping that she win her divorce case which is on going so she can be able to pay off her many debts. This is a woman who worked for Exxon Mobile for 12 whole years yet cannot even rasie $5000 conviniently let alone Naija guys who don't even have good jobs,even the few that have average jobs still struggle due to the huge bills waiting for you at the end of every month.

Well things are tough in America but compare it to Nigeria and see what its like

In US they report an unemployment record of 10%.

Can you guess what the unemployment record is in Nigeria?
