And does being a citizen of US make u a non- Nigerian? Even Nigerians wey go US with visa lottery dey become citizen after 5yrs..

Let me ask you are question. A Nigerian living in Nigeria and who is a Naturalized American, is asked on a form to specify what nationality he is. What do you think he is going to put down? and it does not have to be five years. It could be 4 months.

egobetatoday:
To pple like u makurdi is a town in US

Actually there is nowhere in the states that looks like Makurdi.

egobetatoday:
Yes now. Since its better than where u live.

Ok.

popyea:
hehehe
i give up
i guess that makes him less Nigerian talkless yoruba...lol

You can't understand because you are used to thinking and doing things in a phucked up way. But try.

egobetatoday:
kai hahahahahahaha. Nigerians will not kill some one with laugh kai. Sorry, u choose the wrong person to lie to. Why do NIGERIANS lie about US? 'All u have to do is close your eyes and think up whatever....' with this alone I know you are still in this hell hole. The last time I was in US (left Jan 19th 2014) nigerians kept 3 or 4 jobs. They still do! Nothing has changed and I dont envy nigerians there because I see them as suffering. Even some Americans are homeless. We had to help one pay her bus fare from Meijers ( @Grand Rapids). Nigerians can bobo for africa?. Forget that thing. This lie didnt cut it. Anyway I understand. How lokoja now? Make u jejely dey hussle one day the American dream will be reality. Like i said pple with the dough fly out and come back at will. And for the American life thing, taking loans to but 2016 cars, paying as much as $1000 dollars doesnt make sense for monthly house rent na. Suffer sufer pple. Even most Americans dont go to college cos they dont have d money. forget that thing jor.

That is why you don't mix with people of the same mentality. I move far far away from anyone who mentions NI, Not to talk of Nigerian. It is crazy what you see from Nigerians over here. Every saturday is an owambe day. Why do they do this? Because they have the same phucked up mentality you do. Some people have zero ambition. How is that my problem if anyone wants to come to the U.S and drive taxis all their lives when any sane human being can apply for fafsa and go to school to become better in life? how is that my problem? You are too s.tupid to understand all this but i will try. I can believe i am justifying a functioning society to someone who lives in a dysfunctional one. Someone who doesn't know if tonight will be his last night on earth because of armed robbers. God help me.

Oh so you know Bayo Ogunlesi more than his parents?, has the man ever denied being a Nigerian? anyway you need to look at this http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/biography/M-R/Ogunlesi-Adebayo-1953.html. He was even born in Nigeria.

Why can you comprehend this? It doesn't matter what he says or believes. In the eyes of the world and America, he is an American citizen. Why? Because he took the oath of allegiance. Which means you denounce your country of birth and cannot have a passport of that country. In fact eventually depending if you have access to a government computer, you have to shred your passport in front of a security officer.

egobetatoday:
hahaahaha. Ghana? Our backyard? You no dey try.

I am actually proud of it. Thinking about building a house there. You need to go there. As far as normalcy in africa is concerned, that is the place to be.

egobetatoday:
I would rather peep into a typical gutter in nigeria

You actually do on a daily basis. Lol.

egobetatoday:
You are not a good teacher though. And this American dream must be the height of achievement for you.

That is what you don't understand. Let me give you a snippet. In the U.S, all you have to do is to close your eyes and think up whatever you want to be. It doesn't matter what it is. An astronaut, a diver, a sniper, etc and you will become it. Can you do the same in that hell hole? Point is, for now, i have achieved every goal i have set. Two degrees, a paid for home, a successful career, a nice 401k, etc. Have you?

egobetatoday:
I understand. Running out of nigeria can be a dream come true for some people. People with the 'dough' go out and come back at will. You must really have some time on your hands.

God forbid. I spend my time in Ghana. I am not crazy.

egobetatoday:
I had to laugh in swahili. Stowaway things . I guess all nigerians now have secret clearance over there. Sharp guy. A nigerian to the core.

Not all Americans. Only if you work with government or have access to a government computer. See. You are learning.

egobetatoday:
hahahahaha...thank God for the secret clearance. you wouldnt have been here pretending to be catching fun like a typical nigerian.

It's the weekend and it's snowing. So there nothing to do but make fun of s.tupid people.

egobetatoday:
Mehn, thank God for the stars that took u away. man u are not better than the ordinary nigerian. Like u said, ATLEAST U ARE NOT A NIGERIAN ANYMORE. u must have heaved a sigh of relieve the day you left, if you left.

I did.

egobetatoday:
hehehe I dont wish to peep into where u stay. Some nigerians can lie for Africa? And they dont know how to pretend. Even the thinking pattern affected u obviously. I cant imagine wasting my time on NL with people just because I want to make fun.

If you really want a peep, i could oblige you. But then again, after that, you'd be embarrassed and run away. It's happened before.

egobetatoday:
funny u. its good to run out of nigeria u know. even if u end up being a sewer worker! Funny how nigerians outside think they are better thinking. Even those that live in the border with cameroon. lol

Lol. I have a secret clearance. Sewer workers don't have that.

egobetatoday:
So I compared you with Chelsea clinton and Malia Obama and i saw how concerned you are. Like I said u
are not doing a good job of it. U have just confirmed u are an abnormally thinking nigerian too!

Here's the thing. When looking from the outside in, you would be shocked at how as a people you all think.

Blaming a president that represents their psychological profile.

Applauding murdering suspects in the streets.

Dirty and filthy as a mutherfucker.

Collecting and giving bribes like it is a normal thing.

Etc. The list could go on forever.

egobetatoday:
So I compared you with Chelsea clinton and Malia Obama and i saw how concerned you are. Like I said u are not doing a good job of it. Oh well. so long !

Lol. Smh.

egobetatoday:
definitely u are making no sense. Making fun of them means concern for them. The fact that you have time for them. Its just funny that u think u actually think differently. Nigeria runs in your blood, dont bother pretending. U arent doing a good job of it obviously.

I just said Nigerians think abnormally and you have just proven it. So, because i make fun of them show's concern. Ok. So you make fun of your family members and friends? I assume you are also concerned and care about them right?

egobetatoday:
But why are u concerned for nigeria and nigerians by making fun of 'stupid people here' just to change their mentality? Maybe because u are a nigerian...by blood!

I just told you. I come here to make fun of mentally challenged people. Nigerians are somewhat of a case study on how people live abnormal lives and think abnormally. You can't understand obviously.

egobetatoday:
since u agree I didnt infer that thats ok. Where were u when Oshiomole and the likes insisted that excess crude oil funds should be shared? Abeg its the dullard's fault. Even his herd of cow is not growing how much more nigeria? U are so funny...since u prefer to lay the blame possibly on my feet and not Buhari's, do just that. Atleast we bought a bag of rice under Gej for 8k, now 17k under the dullard. Maybe u should suggest a non nigerian to be elected into our government since the pool is currupt, buhari, you and I inclusive. I'm only glad u inferred that buhari is corrupt too. Corrupt man fighting corruption hehehehehaha.

I ain't a Nigerian. At least not anymore. I only come here to make fun of s.tupid people here and try to change their mentality.

Ukillian:
Dude you're arguing something that's wrong. The man is a dual citizen of Nigeria and the USA. The USA ALLOWS DUAL CITIZINSHIP. I would know because I have both so does jidenna and lot of other Nigerians. He is an advisor he does not have a public office position so he is allowed to keep his Nigerian citizenship if he chooses to. You say he is not Nigerian...based on what?? The man was born there and went to school there so what do you call that?? This irritates me when Nigerians do this nobody made you the judge of who is Nigerian or not..just accept you're wrong about your "he is not Nigerian" statement and have a nice day

Bros mi. I have an American passport so i know what i am talking about. Unless something changed yesterday, then you are completely and utterly wrong.

Elebiju:
Sometimes our profile on public forums like this goes a long way.... I'm sharing an experience though, you seem like a very good person but the moniker is

Trust me. You won't find anything except links to Nairaland.

egobetatoday:
so now that buhari is not robbing peter to pay paul how has he diversified? ok I understand! By wasting our foreign exchange looking for crude oil in the north?! Na the same school u and buhari dey go so no qualms. U can't catch me in the same school of thought as buhari.NEVER! And how did u come about 'so relying on only one source of revenue...'? When did i infer that?

You are doing the same thing most Nairalanders do. Detract from comments to create confusion. I have never said i am a supporter of Buhari or any so called leader in Nigeria. In fact, they are as useless as it's citizens. From past to present. When i said that Nigeria relies on only one source of income, it was important to say that because it is a major part of the reason Nigeria is the way it is. Meanwhile you all ignore this fact. Now that the price of oil has fallen and does not favor you anymore, you are laying blame on Buhari's feet. Nigerians are blaming Buhari like he just came from nowhere and destroyed a great country. LOl. Nigeria has always been crap and will always be crap because of one major reason. It citizens. You forget that these leaders come from the citizenry. They are not from the moon. If the citizenry is bad, the leaders you select will also the bad. Bad citizens = bad leaders = bad country. Good citizens will always bring forth good leaders. It is an indisputable fact. As they say in computer science; Garbage in, garbage out. It will behoove you to start looking inward. It is not by magic that Nigeria has been in existence for more than half a century with no good leader to show for it. The average Nigerian is groomed from birth to be corrupt. What do you think will happen when you decide to select from the pool of corrupt people to be your leader

Elebiju:
I'm just wondering..... What will I get if I type your moniker on google?

You will never know until you do it.

popyea:
Really? Educate me...

No need. I know this from personal experience. Especially when you work with government.

Elebiju:
it is not the same thing my good friend..... Well you need to do some research yourself, I'm out.

It is my brother.

1. Advisor to the president of the U.S is same as holding public office.

2. To be that, you have to be a citizen of the U.S

egobetatoday:
Dont say!? So successive govts in Nigeria have been robbing Peter to pay Paul and buhari couldnt just do this simple thing other have been doing. I used to think buhari was dull but now you've confirmed to me that the dictionary nedds to be updated so that we can get a better word for buhari. Is it so hard to copy again? Nawa!

So basically, you are saying Nigeria should continue the same rubbish that has led them to this present predicament. Una no de go school again for Nigeria? So relying on only one source of revenue is reasonable to you. How do you people still exist for God's sake?

popyea:
Ever heard of dual citizenship bro?

America does not recognise it.

Elebiju:
Don't change the topic when you're wrong, accept that you made a mistake by saying it's a public office and by the way The Forum, which is composed of some of America’s most highly respected and successful business leaders, will be called upon to meet with the President frequently to share their specific experience and knowledge with the President period. We're here to learn not to prove what we are not.

Bros. This is not Nigeria we are talking about. Being the adviser to the President is same as holding public office na. Which kain people una be na?

davidif:
The guy does not hold public office for goodness sakes, he serves in an advisory for the president. In simpler words, the man is an adviser to Donald Trump.

And to do that you have to be a citizen of the United States.

Elebiju:
He's only a member of a forum and not a public office holder for crying out loud ah!

And your point is? Non Americans don't go about consulting with the president on Strategic and Policy Forum.

Elebiju:
maybe you should edit his profile on Wikipedia.

Obviously you don't understand how Wikipedia works. Just because it is on Wikipedia does not mean it is fact. But you still haven't answered my question. Can a non U.S citizen hold public office? And remember that the U.S does not recognize U.S citizenship. He denounced Nigeria the day he became one. Part of the process for his secret clearance was shredding his passport. Lol. He called me i too know. The retort of an ignorant mind.
