TravelRe: "Living Abroad Is More Difficult Than Living In Nigeria" - Lady by djon78(m): 1:31pm On Aug 16, 2018
This babe is saying the truth. Most people think money grows abroad on a tree. Living abroad you have light, internet, good environment, but to see the liquid cash na die..
I will keep on saying it there are many here who are financially many times better than many people in US and other western countries.

People don't even understand that it's just laziness that is affecting many people here. If you are industrious, diligent and hardworking here, your life will improve. Crack your brain, think, put the brain to serious work.

Many people don't really understand what it means by separation of powers in democracy. The executive, legislative and judiciary all are meant to check and balance themselves.

The executive has its own power
The legislative too
The judiciary too

And the beauty of true democracy is when each of these entity, checks and balances the other. This way the common man is served.

I believe as Nigeria's democracy advances, this is what we will be getting.

Anybody that thinks he is above the law must be called to order immediately.

Bro, I still hope that one day God will touch your heart to look in my direction. I have a degree in Applied chemistry and ready to do anything legit in order to be productively engaged.

It is frustrating being jobless after school especially after doing one's best to graduate with a good grade. Just looking for where to contribute and be useful.

Thank you.
Don't worry I will get to you. Many people have been calling for job. I couldn't read the email you sent to me. I will take a look at it.

What assurance do I have that am not gonna die before then??
Before giving me an answer take a look at victim of SARS brutality and Benue(middle-belt) terrorism
Even in the US gimme. Enter schools, shows, and gun people down. Do you know the number of people killed in inner cities in US. Apart from the killings in middle belt and north, how many killings have you heard in the south, south east and west?

I will keep on saying it. The main problem here is crass ignorance. Politicians understand this and they are using it to their advantage. Everyone is looking for way to leave and go to places where they have already developed their lands. People like Trump are now telling you point blank they don't want you. There has been rapid rise in anti immigration politicians in the west. Because they are getting tired of people coming to their land. They diont want you. Is it not wise you stay in your fathers land get yourself better and make it better.

It is high time people become serious. I remember watching one documentary about Adolf Hitler. For almost 20 years he struggled for power with his ideology in Germany. He failed many times but he didn't give up. He persisted until he finally got power and wreaked havoc on the world. The same way, if you desire for good, it is not given to you on a platter of gold. You have to be persistent. Buhari has been contesting election since 2003. He was losing, but he was persistent. He finally got power in 2015. I remember one quote Dino maleye said although I don't like the Guy but I learnt something from it. Power is not handed to you on a platter of gold, if you want power, you take it.
Nigeria becoming good will come when the right minded people not giving up, persisting to bring smiles and happiness on the face of millions.

Great men in history were men who faced insurmountable difficulties, never threw in the towel and finally got there dreams. They never had anything very easy for them. They faced terrible challenges and they overcame.

See ehn, I love your knack for business given the market share in Nigeria. But the country is not working for the majority of her people. You spoke about effective leadership. Where are going to get the good leadership? I don’t want to delve into the divisions in the country due to lack of time and mental strength. If you are making it here, good for you but millions are not happy with the state of things.
True there is division but still people are still making it. As for political leadership Nigeria has to get it right.

Let me give you more analysis. I don't know how old you are but in the next 15 years Nigerias population is estimated to reach 400 million. Then there will be even more chaos.
We must begin to get good economic managers and planners to plan out the right pathway.

The problem the black man has is being organized, being detailed ability to manage complex things. That's our major problem And then we focus more on individual pursuit of happiness. Not for the overall common good. That is why our politicians will steal billions of dollars and stash the same money for oyibos to be using and then our people will be running to that same oyibo land to work as peasants and taken as third class citizens. I have personally traveled around the world and I have first hand account of how blacks are treated as third class citizens around the world.


See somehow we must be the change we want. Running to another mans land won't help us. But I wish you well. As you desire to leave. May it work for you.

Please stop painting a good picture of Nigeria. It is a very terrible place and Nigerians are right to complain. I don’t like the sound of arrogance in your comments.

Stop insulting the sensibilities of millions of hard working but suffering Nigerians.
I am not painting a good picture. My brother anybody that tells you legit money no dey Nigeria is deceiving you not fraud or drug money.

Do you know that an Indian is the highest producer of garri in Nigeria now? He goes as far as east to buy harvested cassava. Do you know that rice, beans, sugar, wheat, and many of daily things you consume has more demand that the local production is not sufficient. Therefore demand fir foreign ones.

I know a man that has poultry with more than 100 thousand birds and the eggs they produce they cannot even meet the demands.

If you know the kind good money some men are making in this nation go and work in US 100 years you can't make it. I mean legal good money as a result of leveraging on a demand by population of 200 million people.


Why is US afraid of China. As of today more than 300 million Chinese are middle class. China leveraged on their population to create wealth for her people.

The biggest opportunity for this nation is her population. Just get a government in place that knows how to leverage this opportunity and boom you will see economic explosion.

Actually the World Bank rated Nigeria as the country having the highest proportion of poor people in the world overtaking India. So yes Nigeria is the country with the most poverty in the world, but the irony is that Nigeria is not a poor country! You are still looking at society instead of individuals. For example, why would you compare yourself with the people queuing for onions and pepper instead of to the politician? The mentality of most Nigerians is rooted in dependency and begging instead of in opportunities and ideas. Those who know how to take advantage will thrive and prosper while those who do not will keep looking for how to escape. Nigeria is good if you know what to do.
Do you even mind these dudes. Like I said before. The kind of people you hang around will determine the way you see things.

No be Nigeria my chairman dey and is raking in billions. Has a tank farm worth over 25 billion Naira. He is not owing any bank. Called yesterday that has arrived Canada for vacation to be back in Nigeria late August. left Nigeria last week for Europe first. I have not seen a man as disciplined as him. Very smart. Doesn't sleep around. Very responsible. And he came from a very poor background.

A close relative of mine, came to Lagos with a Marlboro bag, very smart, had First Class . Came from a very retched home. Today lives in banana island. Did executive training in Harvard University. Travels around the world. Has clients with very rich Arabs from uae who invest there money around the world.

Most of these folks will come here and be crying wolf while some other men from retched homes are making it in a legit way in this nation. It all depends on what you see.

As for the rest. U r WRONG. 9ja's problem is CORRUPTION not megawatts. A smal bribe can get u a driving license, make your car road worthy, approve your expired or fake drugs, prevent u being arrested, etc. Due to corruption everything is fake or substandard. Even your money in the bank is not safe!
What is Singapores per capita income and what is Americas own? Do you know the number of poor Americans in there one cities? What about healthcare? While UK had NHS and Europe had good welfare system for there citizens it was Obama who even tried with Obama care which Trump over hauled.

Don't think it's average Nigerians you will come and be playing gimmicks on. We know you guys very well.

Nigerias problem is not having smart leadership that can put the right measures to curb corruption and get the economy on the right path.

Don't mind them. Americans that Europeans laugh that they don't have a clue about other parts of the world. Americans that think it's all about them not knowing that other parts of the world have joined the race for massive development.

How do you define being ahead in life?
The income they make. The quality of life they can afford. Their share in percapital income. And yes I am right in what I am saying.

Nigerias major problem is simply vision less, direction less and very wicked leaders.

Do you know if Nigeria just get it right in having just one smart leader. Nigeria will change.

Do you know that Singaporeans live better than Americans. Yes there per capita income is higher than US. What changed that country? It was just the vision of Lee Kwan yee. He was visionary, loved his people and effected positive changes.


Changing Nigeria just requires just;

Overhaul our education system
Massive infrastructure overhaul, electricity, roads, railway etc
Just this two things is the foundation that is required to change Nigeria.

Give Nigerians steady electricity and tell me if industrialisation won't overtake this nation. Because average Nigerian is very hardworking.

Nigeria have the population to generate a trillion dollars economy. South Africa has more than 80000 megawatts of electricity while Nigeria just have 3000mwgawats but still Nigeria has the biggest economy in Africa.


If Nigeria manage to get just 15000mwgawatts of electricity she will fly. Do we have the money for that? yes. Then why are we not having it? A very wicked leadership.

How? When obasanjo them were building power plants the ones they built. They built them far away from Niger delta gas reservoirs. The gas in Niger delta can light the entire Africa!!

But they built them away and then they required another billions of dollars to build pipelines from Niger delta to those power plants.

There are some things I don't want to say. When I look at Nigeria, I weep for this nation because we have the wherewithal to be a top ten economy on the World. We have the natural resources, the human resources, everything but it is just a very wicked, evil and vile leadership.

When a person manage build house and get a car in naija then everybody will be making noise dat d person don hammer money.but for abroad having a car and a house na normal tin. Dat should tell u dat the poverty in nigeria is very deep. The only lucrative business in nigeria is armed robbery,yahoo yahoo, pastorprenur(pastors) ,politiks and illegal oil bunkry. Na ppl wey dey do dese proffesion u go see dey splash money about trying to impress on other nigerians dat they are lazy and dats why they are not making it like themcheesy. Since the 1980s we have been having epileptic power supply...though it wasnt as worse as this. As long as nigeria has no stable power then there will be no development and the prospect of industralisation will be a mirage.
In this life you are either a pessimist or an optimist. The way I see things may not be the way you see things.

As far as I know. I have better chance of attaining my dreams here than anywhere else.

One of the things I have found out about life is the people you hang around with determines how you see life. It determines the opportunities you see.

Sebi one guy opened one thread lamenting how US embassy was denying almost everyone visa. They dont want you to come to there country. So stay in your country and make it better.

There are bad people everywhere. Any change one desires starts from each one of us.
No be the same Nigerians give Nigerians bad names everywhere they reside around the world.

Let me be honest with you even in America it is not easy. I have very close relatives living in US. I know how many of them live. I have childhood friends who carry American passport.

Many people are making legit money in Nigeria!! Yes. Once we see a rich person we call them 419. Drug baron etc. See how Chinese Indians and other foreigners are making it in Nigerian markets while our people are running away to be third class citizens in a foreign land.

You may have your own opinion but for me, I dey here kampe. I dey here to hustle, work hard. Give people employment. To see how many of our people I will better there lives. By God's Grace. Not to run away to another man's land and be a laughing stock.

When you travel around the world and see how the black man is treated, like a trash. You will know it's better to be here and see the way one can help to effect positive changes not running away and becoming slaves or shit.hole the likes of Trump call our people.

If you stay in the Western part of Nigeria, this kind of stuff are normal, I don't fear, I plead the blood of Jesus Christ and pass, a woman mistakenly forgot to remove her pot of Eboo (sacrifice) inside her shop, and parked out, when I rented the shop, I prayed and pleaded the Blood of Jesus on it, removed the pot and set it ablaze nothing happened. When I rented my apartment in Lagos, I felt I don't like the nature of the entrance to the passage, I bought a bag of Cement called a bricklayer, as he was smashing the floor to create a new flooring, that was how we saw a Calabash buried on the floor of the building, and many tenants have been staying there for years, low and behold, the Yoruba bricklayer who was busy on the work advised we dig the floor and put back the Calabash, I said No, just remove it and keep it by the side for the owner of the house, at first he refused that he doesn't want to "fi ori ko", I was like man, if you no want work again carry your load go make I go call another person, at the end he adhere. After that incident, I stayed in that compound for over 5 years and left, the Landlord so much had respect on me, but you will hear him raining course on other tenants. So those things only work for those who don't know who they relied on.
Don't mind most of them saying that. If one is not strong spiritually they will become minced meat for these evil forces.

What did Jesus Christ say about the place to worship God in John 4?
Please let us know what passage of the Bible talks about corporate anointing huh
God's presence is everywhere but it is we humans that makes that presence tangible. The gathering of believers has been so right from early church. Our going to church on Sunday was started by them. They gathered in the first day of the week.

Then in Ephesians 4, it was talking about the five fold ministry in the church. When Jesus ascended he gave gifts to men; some apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Whtn

For the perfecting of the Saints
For the work of the ministry.

Our bodies are still the temple of the Holy Spirit but it still doesn't stop gathering of the Saints. Let's learn to rightfully divide the word of truth. Amen


Also God's presence is everywhere but evil is still around because men give themselves to evil.

The assembly does not have to be in a building/gathering called church.
It can be a virtual discussion group online as well e.g. nairaland.
Exhortations is not limited to happening in a church building or gathering.
The key word is gathering of believers. It can be in church, house fellowship, prayer group and Sunday church service is the primary way believers gather.

Where believers gather, there is a corporate anointing. More or God's power is generated. That's why in big gospel crusades where there are mammoth crowd divers kinds of miracles happen because the more there is a presence of believers the huge the power of God.

Likewise where the ungodly gather like in clubs, demonic power is also generated. That's why you hear in clubs fire break out or fighting or gangs shooting.

See God's presence generates positive powers of healing of salvation while devil generate fights, killings, erc

So all the people that were in church that day are still alive? That was just her destined way to die. What then can you say about those that died in the church as a result of suicide bombings? Going or not going to church doesn't play a single role in how long people live on earth. So your point doesn't hold water
Which destined way? God's will is for us to live to well old age. God never designed man to die young or prematurely. It is the thief Devil that steals people's life.

A woman had a terrible fatal accident, lost a lot of blood but she was just declaring I shall live and not die. She was rushed to hospital, even in a coma state, as she was being operated she was subconsciously making the declaration. She survived. Later her doctor nicknamed her I shall live and not die.


When you understand that as a believer that you have a covenant of long life and you believe and stand on it. Nothing will kill you. You will have what you believe. But if you are ignorant, devil the thief will steal you blind. That's why it is dangerous to serve Satan or be an unbeliever. That person is a minced meat for the devil.

Coming to church has its benefits.

When I was growing up, back in the east. during one service, our pastor was asking about one sister. But she was not in service. This sister was a big time business hustler. Doing supply business, always on the road. She had money.

Not two days after that Sunday, that sister went for business. She was in a vehicle with her supply driver. The bus was packed. A big truck failed brake and crushed that lady and her driver. It was very sad. That ladies death and one other friend s death are two death that I still mourn up till today.
Coming to church God's presence is highly made manifest because many believers are in one place. There is a corporate anointing present.

Another lady who was ss genotype got her genotype changed to AA in a corporate service. The funny thing was that the lady was even cursing God tin the service, she was bitter because of her condition, always sick God healed her. She didn't know. She just went to her personal hospital and her personal doctor noticed it via test. Confusion broke out because the hospital knew her SS case. It was shocking. That was how that lady till today is a seasoned believer

If you continue sinning, then you stand the chance of continue getting punished here on earth. It is the same as smoking and drinking heavily when such is not good for one's health. When it starts to affect your health, you know you have reaped the reward for disobedience.

Now, fornication and other sins are not what damns you to hell fire. What damns you is lack of believe in Jesus Christ. An example is when He says ''It is Finished'' but you say you have to continue doing works to save yourself. He has done it all.

In a nutshell, your sins might get you punishment here on earth and prevent you from certain rewards in Heaven, but your not believing in Jesus and all He stands for is what gets you damned in hell.

Pls, read my other posts on this thread to learn more.
It all boils down to ignorance of the word. In 1 Corinthians it says do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. We have to glorify God in our body.
We should not be comfortable with sin, if we are truly God's. Living in sin is different from making mistake. If we enjoy sin, then our salvation is questionable?

How you know you are Gods is when you make mistake you are remorseful. Your heart condemns you. But when someone sins and doesn't feel anything, no remorse, then the person is far away from God.
Christianity EtcRe: Grace Is Not Enough by djon78(m): 3:54pm On Aug 12, 2018
LadyExcellency:
Yes, the disciples were born again and were also baptizing new converts according the scriptures.

Sanctification is totally different from Justification.

Being Justified through his blood, we have boldness and access to the throne of God.

Salvation is the initial work of grace gotten through believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth through faith in Jesus Christ. At Salvation, you got justification through the finished work of Christ.

Sanctification is the second work of grace whereby a believer that is totally committed to Christ prays for total uprooting of Adam and inbred sins that most times upsets most Christians unawares. The Holy Spirit regenerates our hearts and desires at Sanctification and make us more committed to the work of God and totally free from sin

Jesus Christ prayed for us all for sanctification when He said, God, not only these disciples but as many that will be converted through them.
New birth, salvation came after Jesus paid for the sins of the whole world. Jesus was called the lamb of God that took away the sins of the world.

Salvation is a gift from God. We couldn't save ourselves. Jesus paid the price with his own life, blood. He obtained eternal redemption for us.

So it has nothing to do with our efforts. Our effort couldn't save us. And this makes me to even love the Lord more.

In 1 John it says that herein is love, Jesus died for us even when we hated him. It was his love for us that made God take the cloak of flesh.

Do you know that the second person of the Trinity is a man with body just like you and I. And it is that glorified body we will wear on the resurrection day.

Book of Hebrews calls it so great a salvation.

Christianity is not just mere rhetoric it is very deep. When you begin to grow in the Lord and your eyes is opened, you will understand more.


Then in addition when studying the Bible, you need to understand somethings. Reading just English version of the Bible, there are many things you cannot get it full understanding.


The English Bible was not the original language of the Bible. So English Bible will not give you the full meaning.

The Bible has three original language. The old testament was written in Hebrews. The New Testament was written in Greek. Then there was another old testament translation of Bible in Greek called Septuagint. The Septuagint was translated 200 years before Christ was born during the time of Alexander the great.

During the time of Christ, Rome was ruling politically while the language mostly spoken then was Greek. So all the new testament writers wrote in Greek language. The Bible that Jesus read in the synagogue where he quoted the spirit of God is upon me was the Septuagint.

Why am I saying this; you will have deeper understanding of the Bible.

Example in Isaiah 53. Psalm 103 Vs 2 to 5. 1 Peter 2 Vs 24. You will find out that Jesus paid the price for our sins and our sicknesses. It was not just salvation from sin but health for our bodies.

That was why Jesus and his disciples went about healing people sick. The Bible say Jesus will enter a city and heal everyone sick. Not even one sick person was left unhealed. Likewise the disciples.

But today you will see many people of God being tormented by sicknesses and diseases. You will see many people sick and Christians can't do any thing.

In the great commission Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel/goodnews. And this signs shall follow believers they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

So why is there so much inability for the church to do that?

It is simply unbelief and lack of knowledge of Gods word.

On another note when you are warned by people concerning a person for marriage. Better run.

I have seen people warned who neglected the warning and today it is only regret they are filled with. A pastor, relation may see Something you cannot see because of infatuation.

That's why I think people should enter marriage with clear eyes. And this guy's behavior has justified that. So be careful with the kind advice they give you here.
Christianity EtcRe: All The Continents, Every Countries, Every Person See What's Coming by djon78(m): 9:28am On Aug 12, 2018
Love this thread. Let me add this scripture;

Ecclesiastes 8 King James Version (KJV)

11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:

13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.



Many people take God's kindness in vain but it is very dangerous. God that didn't spare His only son but gave him for us. How shall men escape?


Hebrews 2 King James Version (KJV)

2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
