jude33084: Plz throw ♍☺re light on that

onatisi: NOONE PAYS UNSKILLED LABOURER 40K A YEAR IN USA .MAYBE A MASON OR STEEL BENDER OR CAPENTER BUT NEVER AN UNSKILLED PERSON.and ironically those are the jobs u term to be suffer suffer job in nigeria.outside nigeria ur certificate is worthless the first question anyone will ask u is what can u do,do u know whoopi globerg was one a bricklayer?

Ikengawo: lol blue collar work is more respected in the US than white collar work.

the underdog is the hero in america. These people respect soldiers, farmers, factory workers etc.

There are fathers, especially back in the day, that would yell at their sons if their sons wanted to be a banker because as they see it they're not making an 'honest living with their hands'.

Why do you think John Mccain and Mitt Romney both worked so hard to hide their wealth. John Mccain didn't want the news to report that he had 9 homes. If it was nigeria they would be selling you Tshirts with all 9 of their homes on it.

naijaking1: Have you done any project in Nigeria lately?

I speak from a personal experience constructing a small house in Nigeria. First, the labor rate is almost at par with US, considering the need to continously supervise them, give them 1-2 hours break, and they have 4-6hr work days.

Second, if labor work is the only skill they have, why complaint?

The idea situation, would be to learn a trade or go to school so that your future would be brighter, instead those people sit there and grumble year-after year.

There's something evil about an unemployed worker who begs, pleads, and applies to work for you, and the first thing that comes to their mind after they settle in an agreed position is to feel "being used"
From that feeling comes all sorts of criminal activities: stealing, vandalizing, sabotage, and even stopping the whole same project they'd begged to be hired for.

Standing5: Bar/club? That's cos they are out to meet the 'highest bidder'.

It does not affect the fact the average American/Non African regards and respect decent hardworking individuals more.

The fact that their politicians are lying tell us infact that Americans regard and see such people (farmers, mechanic etc) as decent and hardworking. It paints a gøod image of the personality in the eyes of Americans. I agree we are not suppose to be doing certain things our Fore-fathers did the exact way they went about it.

onatisi: my guy u are missing the whole point up,noone is disputing the fact that some jobs are better than others,it has alwys been that way,but what the op is saying is that many nigerians that are unemployed will prefer to stay unemployed ,beg or even steal than to do any dirty job or hard labour job all on the excuse that it is suffering,

but take these same of ppl to another country they will do the job,the money they will be paid their will be of little value in the economy so why cant u do the job here.thtis the op arguement

Ikengawo: In America, jobs that require you to sweat are seen as badges of honor. People brag about working in a factory, lifting bricks, farming etc. They're proud to say they do manly work and a banker is not seen as superior to a farmer.

You never hear candidates in american elections proclaiming their banking credentials, but you'll hear many, if they've had the experience, telling you about their life on the farm because it tells people you're humble, you're hardworking, and you have good values.

CrazyMan: Nigerian politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

Julieccentric: I pity your wish, I think you should ask Lucifer for the genesis of his problems.
