now for a married woman it is BAD, unless she is in the entertainment industry sha, but if she says she wants to go, na dere she go dey crash from that night henceforth.

frosbel:
Is it Peckham, or Brixton or should we say Hull, that despite their poor reputation boast of better infrastructure and ammenities than the best parts of Abuja.

Abeg we all love our country so lets like you said ' not over flog this issue ' but lets have mutual respect for both NINs and NIDs.

Bragging about ones status in the midst of abject misery and poverty is not a positive to be congratulated on, rather is depicts the sorry state of Nigeria as a country.

BlueDiva:
@frosbel,

Have you seen pics of UK slums?
Don't over flog it, each side has its problems.


In all seriousness, what some of these aboki that have tons of tankers make in a day. . .left to be imagined.
Is it the cattle owners, the textile woman at Teduosho (some women buy 5yrds of lace for 100k)?
Even those Ibo traders that put their trousers on their waist.

Some people with little education make mad money in Naija.
Far more than some of us will dream of.

BlueDiva:
Seriously it ain't that easy again.
Everyone has a foreign degree now.

It's either you're very smart or have long legs or the HR people like you.
I work in HR in a multinational here, i know what i'm saying.

@Fried burger.
You're a re.tard. Don't dare me.

BlueDiva:
I don't give a damn about her abeg.
You should be happy i bothered to look at your profile pix sef.

BlueDiva:
She is a local champion.
Let her go back.

[b]In Chevron, you have what they call Airport Asst.
Their job is to book your flight and help you carry luggage and other small logistics.[/b]They give the positions to white boys and pay them hell.
That is neo-colonialism, what are people will easily do and do better.

The white woman is taking jobs that are people can do.
Sorry, i ain't impressed.

eldee:
That's what we tell ourselves . . . those guys at MTN know their money is as legal as weed in Holland.


Are you seriously going to deny the existence of white supremacists??

BlueDiva:
Shooting in US schools nko? your kid could get killed

Earthquake, typhoon nko? you could get killed

Some terrorist threats nko? you could get killed

Snow preventing you from moving nko? you could even die as a result of excessive snow

Christmas is useless in the UK if you don't have a car.

A white racist might mug you on a dark night.

It's unsafe everywhere, man !!!

mrmayor:
@Debosky,

ol'boy relax, just like BlueDiva said each to his own. I know both sides of the debate, yes Nigeria offers[b] me certain opportunities that I won't get in the Uk, Ireland  or mainland Europe.[/b] I spend more time in Nigeria now, yes I deal with all the ills that Nigeria offers but when Nigerians living in far of countries start screaming only about bad roads, nepa etc you know something is up.

BlueDiva:
My advice,

If your village sponsored you abroad, stay put.
If you went through Libya and other land route, stay put.
If your father sold his house to send you out, stay put.
If you borrowed money to travel, stay put.
If you went as an asylum seeker, stay put.
If you won the visa lottery, stay put.
If you have no decent education stay put.
If marriage took you there, stay pu

All others, come home.!!!

200 mil land but yet money still can't buy quality healthcare in naij.
what's the point?
1 rich man to every 1000 peeps languishing in abject poverty.

ayettymama:
its obvious!

chic2pimp:
Keep smilling you hia, I guarantee you that i'll be the one having the last laugh

I'll rather live in a peaceful society than live in one where I have to constantly look over my shoulder whilst also sleeping with one eye opened I'll send down my driver
At least my mind is always at peace . The same can't be said of those of you in Naija, I lie?

well everybody works for himself, why should we raise words against each other. home /abroad are the same, am living in Italy working but the truth is there is no place like where a child was born. it goes to no place like home. i was working with oceanic bank before i left to Italy and even now am into the same job but the pay is 1000 times better. oceanic bank paid me 45,000 monthly but the same job pays me here 400,000 monthly with minimum hours but greater risk,. but i wish to be back where my prophecy was made , where the child was born. but home i love and hate . i need God's help.

honeric01:
so you guys want me to come and boast of what i have done to people around me or to my environment abi? well sorry to disappoint 3 of you, i am not ready to do that (i did that not quite long on one of these Nigerian Division thread).
I practised what i preach because i am not here insulting those abroad and those at home, i am only being neutral here and giving advises to whoever needs it. you don't have to be abroad to become sucessful (though you have more opp overthere) but everyone can't be rich or be comfortable because we still have poor folks all over uk/us and other developed countries. what you need is to believe in your God, work on your self, use your brain, carry people along, ask question, have an open mind and if you're destined to be rich or comfortable, it will surely happen.'

I don't have time for useless debate about who's jealous or who's not jealous, about who lives the best life and who doesn't, you don't know me, you don't feed me, whatever happens to your life does not in any way affect me vice versa so why should i be jealous of an imaginary being?





Now, let me throw back your questions to 3 of you, what have you done to Nigeria and Nigerians? (not your family members oo).

I am where i am now by God's grace only and not by what the government provided for me or what anyone provided for me and i know those around me who are comfortable today are due to God's grace and their hardwork.

If you are not hardworking, no matter where you're, you'd remain poor and starve except you are expecting the government of wherever you are to feed you (handout for those abroad and nothing for those at home).

platinumnk:
@honeric01 - Question- What have you done in your area?
To make life more liveable?

The way you talk your lGA better have paved roads and street lights.

Ujujoan:
The poster asked a question! You guys said it was because we were jealous! And while I tried to think about how that made any sense, someone said she earned more than our parents! I dont consider that an insult because I earn more than my parents, but I thought you guys need to realize that we are not all paupers down here!

I sleep with my eyes wide open at night, I fear for my life, but I dont want to beleive that you guys dont know that crime exists everywhere! The high rate is peculiar to Nigeria, but that's not just my responsibility to correct, it's yours too. And if you think living abroad exepmts you of that, then you must be joking!

More than any other person, I know our country is in dire need of reforms, and I understand the level of rot in the economy. But I'm not taking the coward's way out like you guys did and I think that's something to be proud of!
 



But if your take home is very robust, and u 're not jealous, its not a reason defending the other millions who actually are, u can easily see that even on this thread. so what are we talking about?

Ujujoan:
Oh, I thought we were all paupers down here!  

 

But not even 1% of the Naija population gets 1% of what these experts are getting. don't only consider the lilttle good fraction of it. what do you call a developing country as you said? Few ppl extremenly rich while the other over 90% lives on less than 1$ a day? and u said they 're all developing?

Abygul:
do u think they are really jealous or u just dont have somtin beha to say common.nigeria is now a grown up country even doe dere are still some liky liky but for get it.they aiiint jealous abt u k

Chrisbenogor:
Are very simple ni, because they feel that after washing dead bodies and getting paid peanuts they are all better than the people here in naija. They all carry this complex that only them can see the problems of Nigeria the rest of us here are dumb and should pick up guns and fight so that they can come back and retire after we have laboured for them.

Ujujoan:
I have French men, Americans, Europeans working here in my office. . .  Do you honestly think they would leave their wonderful countries for a place like this if the opportunity wasn't right?
