@ Ozo Emeka, Nothing fascinates me more than detailed facts and figures.
At 21 I have no doubt that by the time you get to my age (30) you'll become a walking Encyclopedia! Keep it up nwa nna!

This thread is a real eye opener and has changed my perspective about the U.S. This is where you get to read about the REAL AMERICA.

Secondly: I think Nigerians especially the music artistes all suffer from "Cultural Cringe" or a cultural inferiority complex. I always feel ashamed seeing them on TV sagging trousers, forming fake american accents...smh

My soul echoes to emulate this Angel....Michael. It reminds us that each one of us has a mission here on earth and we'll be made to give an account of our lives upon transition from earth. RIP bro.

@ Poster, You Will Never Walk Alone!!! My prayers goes out to you and the entire JTF.
God bless Nigeria and God bless you @13volts

God bless NIGERIA, God bless NIGERIANS and God bless www.NAIRALAND.com :A NIGERIAN forum.

lastpage:

Let me say something here, this Eediot does not represent the OPINION of N.I.D. in any way.
She is just one deranged Ashawo without any modicum of dignity.
She is utter crass and if you check properly, you will realize that she's had a traumatized upbringing (according to her previous post here on NL, her father is a drunk, a failure who impregnated her mother when he was just 19yrs old and barely finished secondary school; even mother is another ashawo who brought men home in her husbands presence so they can eat!)
Bottom line, we are who we are by virtue of our upbringing and this Jennifer Kadry has the worst upbringing any ANIMAL can have!
What is the big deal about living in the Diaspora? Why would a sane person keep yapping over this all the days of her life when she actually just got her Aussy papers as late as dec. 2010? Why is this 'Baby Diasporean' so excited? Australia for that matter!

I have lived "legally as a citizen" in the Diaspora for over a decade (with wife and kids) and as far as l am concerned, l am still who l am. A properly grounded NIGERIAN ....with a dual citizenship.

There are two types/Groups of Nigerians in Diaspora:

1.) Those who see living in Diaspora as "just one of many opportunities" available to them.
These group of people are already "somebody" before going abroad. They are well educated, have solid jobs, earn fat pay or own their own business and live a relatively comfortable life in Nigeria before going abroad.

These set of people sit down one day and ask themselves: What other thing can l do for my family?
In my own case, l decided that having an "additional, second citizenship" (instead of our yearly long vacation abroad) for everyone, especially my kids, might be just be another notch for them, later in life. Not becaue we hate our country of origin, but because we felt it might perhaps be beneficial in future (example: A syrian citizen with say Canadian citizenship has the opportunity to leave the place before they start bombing it in a few days)
Thus, we relocated and set-up a second home, abroad. Groups of NID like this, came with loads of money, qualifications and settled-in immediately. They relocated on their own terms and maintained their standard of living and went on to do better things in Diaspora.
But most importantly, this group never forgot where they came from nor look down on those they left behind!
This group never denigrate or curse their fatherland simply because they now have an "alternative".
This group continuously work for and believe things have got to improve in Nigeria and will do anything to effect change in the country, by offering the knowledge, know-how and experience, when asked for and when needed.

2.) The second group of Nigerians in Diaspora are those that are "A NOBODY" in Nigeria, before they found themselves Abroad.
This group are people who were ab initio, uneducated, poorly or completely "mis-educated" for all intent and purposes! They see going abroad as "the ONLY OPTION" available to them. Their life in Nigeria is horrible, they come from very poor family background, they have become very DESPERATE and are very desperate to go abroad.
People in this group will sell properties, dupe people, commit 419 and do just about anything (like hiding in the tyre carriage compartment of an airplane or stowing-away on a ship or using false identity...) ...to get out of the Nigeria.
This group did not make any conscious choice as per which country they landed, be it Libya, Yemen, Thailand, Ethiopia or even far-flung Australia! ...they just want to "get out"!

This sort of people never applied themselves properly in Nigeria, to make 'a success' of the little opportunity they have here. They see 'abroad' as the land of milk and honey! When they get abroad, they get a rude shock and eventually become disillusioned, depressed and very very hateful!
These group of people blame Nigeria and Nigerians for all their woes!

They are full of bile because their life have been destroyed by no other person than their own laziness and vision lessness! You can literally feel the "hate and disappointment" oozing from every word/statement they make! Everywhere they go, they look for "Negatives" in Nigeria, just to justify their own failure.

They prefer living all their miserable life, as second-class citizens of their adopted country, a place where their opportunities are limited ....(whether you like it or not, as a Naturalized citizen which they are, as opposed to 'native born', your aspirations have a limit.)... and they have given up and come to accept their lot in life as 'a failure' but cannot stop the pain in their heart and having lost out in the battle of success in life!

This group are so bitter and full of shyte, hate and very caustic that you would at times wonder whether something is eating them-up, from the inside. Their lives are "empty and shallow" even though they try to put up an appearance of "being happy and okay"!
This mo.r.on called Jeniffer kadry belongs to this second group. She is just a waste of space and it is this type of lunatic that would run down Nigeria and Nigerians, even amongst foreigners, who incidentally just look at her as a form of "comedy and entertainment in bad taste (while she is rolling on the floor trying to make them 'accept her' as one of them, something that would never happen!

I am happy as an NID but l am even happier to associate and maintain my Nigerian roots and blood ...as a NIN.
if you have lived permanently abroad, after living and working at top level in Nigeria, you will no doubt agree with me that "Nigeria still Rocks".
I can understand those who were "born abroad or taken abroad at an early age", they dont know "any difference" in both worlds but only someone who was a failure in Nigeria would not understand what it is "about Nigeria" that sets it apart.

At times, l just imagine what Nigeria would have been, if we can sort out our teething problems? A Paradise!
Since these challenges, especially "Power, Security and Corruption" are not unsolvable, l have hope and l know we can solve these problems.
We just need the "few right people in positions of influence", to lead and direct the larger majority.

For people like Jennifer Kadry, they are confined and condemned to a life of second fiddle, second class, hate, bitterness and perpetual stigmatization since where they are now, is NOT their "Origins" and where their Origin is, they have alienated themselves from.
I will suggest to you (Jennifer Kadry), to ship your parents and extended families to Australia, cut-off all links with Nigeria.
Dont even come to visit or why do shameless hags like you still come to visit a place they hate so much when you can easily remove and relocate your parents/relative to where you feel comfortable?
We dont want you to come here at all less you infect us with some "far-flung disease"!

Just imagine the Fuggly-Ugly Cow, trying to "look and imitate" a Caucasian Australian?
In Nigeria, you dont fit-in, In Australia, you are unwanted and barely tolerated!

Simply-put, you are LOST! CONFUSED, HATE-FILLED AND VERY BITTER!
But no be me or NIN cause your problem now?

Take it from me, NID who are successful abroad, who have "conquered abroad" are always very willing to come back HOME, coming home is their next challenge. They've seen it all.

Spot on write up.

Nairaland is a NIGERIAN forum.

It's been years since I last commented on a post here on Nairaland, although I do visit frequently. But this has to be the BEST topic ever on this forum. This is what "Christ consciousness" is all about. Preach love, think love and emulate love. Peace Profound to you all my brethren.

Jabioro: Irresponsible mother can see yourself! If you refuse praise God,He shall command stone to do dat,if you abandon your humanity responsibility God would surely find another route to salvage his people.Amazing God with an Amazid Dog.

Remain blessed..

omosexy1: @coldwater I have officially joined oh. I have received my membership number but I am yet to receive my first monologue (so excited can't wait). The fear is still there, but not like before. So rather than speculate I would rather join and see what I am afraid of. Only brave men survive (abi).

You will find that there is nothing to be afraid of, since the order is just a university of higher learning or more like a philosophical school of life. As you receive your monographs (lessons) via post mail monthly it is up to you to study and reach conclusions on what you've learnt as you wish. Every rosicrucian is a philosopher unto himself who asks questions about the mysteries of life and is also the answer to the questions therein asked. May the God of your heart guide you on your mystical path and best wishes for peace profound.

omosexy1: I noticed that the number of Rosicrucians is increasing daily. Though this is encouraging, I am yet to see and feel significant impact towards the betterment of Nigeria. It is on records that great scientists, physicists, astronomers, politicians, inventors e.t.c were either Rosicrucians or stumble upon Rosicrucians teachings or enlightenment. I wonder why Rosicrucians in Nigeria decide to be dormant, inactive or less concerned about the development of this country. I am of the opinion that for a society to progress, it would need great and enlightened men to take the driver's seat. This thought of mine makes me skeptical. Is it that the teachings of the Rosicrucian can not be implemented in this country? I sincerely do need answers

Nigeria boasts of the highest number of rosicrucians anywhere in Africa! I noticed that you are a sincere seeker but i must urge you to stop entertaing thoughts of fear as there is nothing to fear about rosicrucianism, infact, living by rosicrucian principles is the best thing that has ever happened to me and what are these principles? Simply laws, universal laws that govern man in his existence for peace profound.

Goshen360: "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you. Deut 16:20

Follow the way of love (Charity) and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 1 Cor. 14:1

Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. 1 Cor. 11:1

Lol....funny guy!

emmysenior: Ideas mks the world go round. Thumbs up.

Yep!

For quite sometime now,  RIM has been on a downward trend and at this point it seems like the company is on a stagnant stand still. Well good thing I'm disposing of my blackberry soon and switching to apple after being a loyal user for 2yrs now. They can chose to remain oblivious of time for all I care.

whatever dude, just die hating you hear? thanks.

@ emofine, God bless you girl.  All I see on nairaland are haters, haters and more haters!!! People with frustrated lives wishing other people nothing but sadness and sorrow (which their whole lives have ever been all about)   Mercy Johnson is Married!!!! If you can't digest that fact please!!! I repeat please!!!! Can you just drink CYANIDE and sleep forever? Or better still, go plank on 3rd mainland bridge with your low lives simple!!!  Loosers!!!.

I will be free from airtime vanishing, BIS instability, frequent web page unavailability responses (I'm still amazed that nairaland opened on my last moments with this network). I'll be free at exactly 08.58pm according to their renewal message. I will be free like Akon sang, I'll be free from Mobile Thieves of Nigeria and unto Glo I must!

God knows how many times I've called mtn's customer care to complain about vanishing airtime balance and extremely poor BIS on my phone, thank God my BIS is expiring this night. I'm tired of this network, after reading this topic I'm convinced the time to leave and never look back is now, I want to be free. I need to be free, Freedom!!! I'm going for Glo.

Omo see first family! Chei! The boy fresh like a thousand dollar bill! And aunty Patience looks very very beautiful. I love these people. God bless them.

I'm quite astonished that some people still read news stories from Sahara Reporters (gosh I loathe that name), the same SR that alleged GEJ's debate questions were leaked ahead of time to him and guess what happened? It turned out not just a false allegation but also an assasination attempt on character! Now they've come up with another 5billion naira "irresponsible" story and some sick minds on NL hell bent on hating anything linked with GEJ are here "zombing" around making noise (as usual).  Okay so about the Topic, I always knew those nominees won't make it especially when the list is filled to the brim with lawless people like Alao Akala, Ohakim and Agagu. I believe in GEJ the same way I believe in BRF 2015!

I was and still quite moved by the yearnings and aspirations of you all my brothers and sisters. i have just one message for you all. You are not walking alone because God is with you. I pray you all remain blessed.

GEJ has no other choice, get electricity stable- secure a re-election ticket in 2015 simple.

@Bk.babe97y, You are a pure and applied looser!! For calling we Ibos fools, stupid idiotic looser!!!

We loose nothing by separation, these Northerners should go join Niger republic or chad where they rightfully belong.

UP GOODLUCK!!!!   eat your hearts out, haters!

My heart goes out to all buhari fans out there. . .I can almost smell the acrid stench of abject failure in your posts. Make una try and drink beer.

[b][/b]Yes oh! Where are all those die hard GEJ haters? Who poured all manner of insults on we supporter here on NL? Where una dey o!!! GEJ oh!!!

;DYes oh! I said it on NL that I'll be bk when GEJ wins, Yes oh, GEJ all the way!!

I support him because i support him. *dancing*can't wait*

@Enyojo dear, i'll be back home on the 8th (fri). A swthrt like u should be identified with the WINNING TEAM the GEJ '11 team not the loosing (abi lost) team, lol. can't wait* dancing*

@enyojo, nope u didn't hurt my ego sweetness. (*dancing* we cant wait* GEJ '11)
