There was an advert that ran about 3 years ago in the UK around Christmas time. It featured an elderly man sitting alone on a roadside bench, watching people strolling along the street: children playing tag, a young husband and wife with their kids, a pair of lovers, teenagers kidding around and laughing. Then the camera did a close-up of the old man's face and a tear came out of his eye and ran down his face. It was heartbreaking. The advert was from a charity, I forget the name, and they were calling for volunteers to keep old people company: read to them, have tea or just spend an hour chatting with them. I felt so depressed. The UK flu season usually witnesses a lot of death from old people who live by themselves. Abroad, whether US or UK, is a cold lonely place if you're alone. The US is better. Americans are nosy and friendly. British people, you fit de die next door, dem go just enter their house close door.

The narrative of what you wrote there portrays a system and a government that cares for its older generation and a society that is willing to do something about it,
We have Old people in Nigeria and Africa, do we as Africans recognise the needs of these Old people? do we do anything about their needs? how many times in our streets in Nigeria has anyone volunteered took a day out from their Biz to take an Older person for an Eye check and paid for it or for health check and paid for it?

Charly68:
Truth be told nobody cares for anybody there ..once children reach poverty off they go to fight for their destiny...when You are old,they take you to old people's home which can be boring and not the best for an average African person. At home you have your family around around you . In fact you are at peace here than there ...we must however ask God to wipe out these Fulani killer squard who are presently making the nation uncomfortable..

so if you come to Nigeria where you do not have family what happens?

SeriouslySense:
Its good to see a different side to Life, I dread returning to Nigeria, we are fortunate to see another reality. I am grateful for that.

I think some African countries are much better than Nigeria, at least one has peace of mind and some kind of order.

Bross nowhere in Africa has peace of mind,No govt in Africa can guarantee that however its up to you to have your own peace of mind! even in the USA and Uk there is still not 100% peace of mind

Olumighty123:
In a case like this picture, what do you suggest I do to correct the rust? Or could it be dirt? As said by the installer

Dirt

SeriouslySense:
Of course that's a good choice. And yet it seems to agree with what i think, that we choose harm, we choose gangs, so many flee.

Bross I don talk my own ohh, U get chance to Cut Japa shapidly , no time to check time!

SeriouslySense:
That's good for you. But why do we, refuse to solve our issues in Nigeria, we are quite different from other peoples.

I sense, we have something wicked about us. That we seem to be encouraging and also we are not united in addressing our problems in the long-term, since we have short memories and easily chaotic.

When society are well to do and depend ; less on government, politicians become irrelevant and people will vote right, right about now to achieve such levels, one must go get initial capital to set up and word on the street is, the surest way is to japa or join bad gang, I chose the forma

Haba, I wish this was covid times when no one can fly, they should have left him to go to the hospitals he built whilst in power!

VeryWickedMan:
So Allah did not command them to burn that creature in front of them abi.

Majek Fashek made no mistake when he sang that song RELIGION NAH POLITICS! in Nigeria

kabukabu50:
In Nigeria insurance is useless.

No First world country can exist without insurance.

I can drive my vehicle with piece of mind in the US because I you wreck my car,Insurance buys me another one and my hospital Bill's are paid plus money lost from work.

In Nigeria you are on your own.

If fire burns my house in the US....Insurance will rebuild it.

In Nigeria you are on your own.

Nigeria has zero safety net.

Bross its always speak about what you know bits about. There is Insurance in Nigeria if you want to pay, its xpenssive yes but there are loads of world names in insurance in Nigeria!

SeriouslySense:
I think we all have this wicked attitudes in varying degree, so its time we stop being wicked to ourselves.

Same with mad attitudes and greed. If we accept the good that is within us, we can make a difference.

Bross You can speak for yourself, I am not among this wicked and greedy people hence I japa from Nigeria 22 years ago and still counting, for those of you wo think Nigerian is going to change for the next 100 years by so called leaders good luck, me I made my own change for my family by the choice I made 22 years ago!

phemmyfour:
how many people have their whole families over there?
Not even the elites

Plenty, I live in london and I got who loads of Senior bross them who have kids and grand kids here, all brothers and sisters here, all they have in Nigeria is Uncles and cozens, parents gone to rest, so they have up to 70 members of their families from 1st to 3rd generation here.So who are they going to meet in Nigeria?

CSTRR:
What do you expect them to do.?

The vast majority of Nigeria is stupid.

Look at the 2023 elections about to come, sensible people are asking Nigerians to vote Peter obi because development starts with leadership.

Instead, we are seeing people determined to vote Tinubu or atiku even when they know nothing good can come out of it.
They know it but bigotry,greed and laziness to struggle for a great nation is the problem.
Millions of people determined to do the wrong thing.

So what do you do?
The vast majority are stupid already.

There is really nothing you can do.

The best is to Japa and go to countries where people like you are.

rightly so ,Japa and secure the future of your family.

SeriouslySense:
Is not like you are not African, this trait must be inherent in you also, just like it is inherent in myself, so why are we not developing our societies.

cos wicked, mad and greedy people throw spanners in our works

phemmyfour:
very few

The only people who return are people with families there or people who want to re invest in Nigeria. There is no clear reason or general reason why anyone returns to Nigeria its a personal choice, If one has no family or friends in Nigeria its pointless going back to Nigeria

phemmyfour:
loneliness at old age over there is not a joke

not for everybody and al cases though, some people have thier whole family here and no one to return to in Nigeria

immortalcrown:
Because the suffering there is not good for old age. Those type of people are selfish people who always run to the most comfortable zones and abandon their relatives at home.

When they are young, diaspora is their favourite. When they get old and begin to pay the price of the enjoyment they had, they will remember "No place like home". If you think they are coming home just because they love home, why did they wait until old age? Are they running from enjoyment in diaspora?

Most of the things you enjoy as a youth will not give you happiness in your old age because they are not what your body and health require in old age. Those people hardly get what pleases old age in diaspora. That is why they run home to search for old-age happiness. There are many reasons.

Suffering is not only about the struggle to make money. Whatever threatens your health or saddens you means suffering.

have you lived abroad B4? I dnt mean visit, LIVE?

Armaggedon:
The barking slowpoke from obio akpor should now learn while licking his wounds from the sidelines.
No politician from the south south or Governor from Rivers state got the amount of free goodwill like wike got from the SE Igbos. He squandered it but also felt the people were cheap. look where he landed himself.

This one you guys are making noise, I see the OKOWA alignment as dead on arrival, Tinibu will win with ease, as for wike, he was right, only three states decides wo be the president of Nigeria, Lagos Rivers and Kano
The house just approved over 120 billion for Okuwa to take as Delta state Loan, so there you go, reason he got the ticket

sonnie10:
Which other taxes do people pay for houses in US? Apart from property tax (about 2-3% of the value) and home insurance ( 2k a year for say a $300k property) and HOA like $1k a year. The total is about $10k a year.
Rent for such house could go as high as $2k a month that is about $24k a year.

Do the maths. That is about $14k (about #10M) he makes from one property without moving a muscle.

You did not need to even list the kind of taxes people pay in the US, I bet you any money he has no idea of kind of monies people pay abroad,Fact is we pay more in tax in Nigeria than US/UK

We4all:
And will keep paying taxes for the houses. Bad investment.

what TAX?

Mhykel217:
lmao
no need to waste my time

WISE CHOICE

Mhykel217:


prof alli died 89 mayb that was when u were born.

erm I was old enough to cast a vote then make any sense?

rapcy:
think again if you feel Okowa cannot win his LGA. You no dey too hear of Okowa but you dey feel him impact thats the kind of person OKOWA is. Those kinda people are the most dangerous people to deal with.

Not literally its a figure of speech

Zelenskyy:
Wrong ...... Wrong....

Are you a Deltan ? If yes then you should know better...

Okowa was a Former LGA Chairman before 1999.... Where was Ibori then ?

When Ibori contested for Governor in 1999, Okowa was among the Grassroots Politicians that Ibori relied on to canvass massive Grassroots votes for him in the Delta North.

(That Election Produced James Ibori and Benjamin Elue)

Okowa remained a key figure in the inner circle of the Ibori Political Dynasty because of his ability to galvanize grassroots votes.

Okowa won his Senatorial Election compromising several LGA ...... Remember that

When it was time to reward his efforts in the PDP and in the Ibori Political Dynasty, Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan brought an outsider...

There was chaos in the Dynasty and Ibori was contacted and informed about his brother's decision.

Ibori rejected the Outsider while still in Jail in the United kingdom and stated clearly that Okowa must be chosen.

There was a brief split between the two brothers (Ibori and Uduaghan) because of this matter.....

Okowa finally emerged as flag bearer and fences were mended and he Succeeded
Uduaghan.

Yes there is a current political Fiasco about the emergence of Sheriff as PDP Governorship flag bearer but the Ibori Political Dynasty have concluded to stand as one and retain the state as a PDP state.

Ok why did he no replace Ibori instead we had oduaghan

buckeyemedia:
You must be from Taraba State?

Im from Delta, Sapele to be precise
next?

AreaFada2:
The guy you quoted is unaware that politics is law really. He doesn't know why parliamentarians make law. In Westminster system practiced by UK, Canada, NZ, Ireland, Australia, etc, the PM/Head of government is a lawmaker/parliamentarian too. Nobody is better prepared for politics naturally as a lawyer who is used to convincing a highly learned judge with his argument.

A medic is a scientist whose remit and mindset is about diligence and scientific truth. The lawyer can apply falsehood or at least cast doubt on something that is actually true if it serves his client's cause (in criminal and civil cases for example) and that's akin to politics.

Moreover in 9ja rofo rofo politics with shiploads of agberos that will fan out from Lagos across the country during election, Atiku needed a craze person like Wike to mix it up during next election. I don't think Okowa's redcap will convince SE to ditch Labour/Obi.

Leave a Bro you know talk is cheap, Doctor V lawyer we already know the winner, They never learnt form oduaghsn

Mhykel217:
see this tata
wah do u know bou delta politics??

when I started to vote you probably in Pry school by the way I'm from delta state ,I was old enough to see Prof Ambrus Ali

PavillionEnergy:



Okowa is a vibrant, cool-headed and intelligent medical doctor cum politician.
You can't compare him to that tout, uncouth and loud mouthed Wike.

Wike is a Lawyer and lawyers are more vibrant than doctors when it comes to politics, and as it seems, we are talking politics.

Two02:
6.

This is where he failed, Okowa cannot even win a LGA if left alone. Ibori put Okowa there
