So serious freshest4live how is Edo. ?..are you a refugee from Edo ? ..do you guys have flying witches or trolls (it can happen you know )

actually we don't just fly in the night, we fly in the day.

mtis:
serious in case you guys split or something (we are praying for you..)...please give Rivers state an Edo state their own republics

Hahahaha, the problem with Nigeria cannot be tied down to just one or two regions or tribes, it's far beyond that, l'm half Edo myself with many relatives from Edo.

Muafrika2:
Why are you sorry? Its not so bad. Trust me, it will get better

Probably when you get a president (We have two by the way, we can give you one, )

What's the price tag for Odinga? You can export to Naija.

shervydman:
......forget about slums. I'm sorry.

Lol make we beg am o.

Muafrika2:
Most of that place is a slum if we were to stick to the strict definition;

a squalid and overcrowded urban street or district inhabited by very poor people.

Lol, let's drop this topic, when it comes to slums in Africa we all know what's up especially with regards to Kenya.

Muafrika2:
Nonsense

There are 65 MILLION of you in urban centers.

1/3 of them (21 MILLION ) Live in slums

Only 65 million? I don't think so.
We have so many cities in Nigeria and most parts of them are usually without slums. So l believe most of Nigerian people do not live in the kind of slums we find in kibera and parts of Kenya. Only Makoko and few other places may measure up to that even in the rural areas.

mtis:
may be the morale is low with some folks calling for fragmentation of Nigeria..i can tell you that Kenyans have this crazy optimistic view of their country even with whats happening now..

Yeah l also added to my post above.

mtis:
you guys should never never entertain such groups in your country otherwise they will turn your country into zombie world..Kenya had a gang called mugiki an believe me the govt had to eradicate them literally

Our police force for a large part of its history haven't been the most effective and it's even surprising the crime rate isn't higher and that we are still intact.
Even with all these, l bet you that you may come to Nigeria and live here for decades without any sour experience, and it's like this for a majority.
Also cultism is usually the problem in universities but you have a 2% chance of having anything to do with it depending on who you are.

mtis:
lie..they are even in Europe..likes of vikings,Eiye Confraternity, among others..
check this :Italian police stop blood-drinking Nigerian gang

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1566721/Italian-police-stop-blood-drinking-Nigerian-gang.html

Oh OK, now l know what you mean.
It's just the way there are bad gangs and cultists in the U.S, but you wouldn't identify U.S as a whole to be a country of cultists.
Even in the same Rivers state where cultism is common, there are some of the richest oil workers there and even foreigners.

mtis:
I like Nigeria.have many friends here who are sober..but what puts me off is the issue of head chopping AKA cultism..Scared of a guy trying to rob you is Ok but scared of the same guy chopping ya head is another story...just look at the nairaland home page an see crazy stories..

Exactly, but yet again this is common in some parts of Rivers state amongst cult rival groups. You have no business there. It's the cultists who usually behead one another.

Muafrika2:
I see,

Its so common that people who sacrifice people have a name¡¡¡¡ We don't have such. We concede, you are totally ahead in that aspect.

I don't get you, what name do they have? Most of the ritual killers are in rural places.

Muafrika2:
No.

But if a stranger offers me money out of his philanthropic Nigerian heart, Who am I to say no?

Are you sure Kenyans don't take bribes?

Muafrika2:
Kidnappings,
Rapes,
Human sacrifice &
Literal darkness
I don't know how you guys make it It also explains the extreme religiosity.

Most of us have never experienced any of such but ironically they happen and we are also amazed like you when we read them.
Besides l also read some of these things about Kenya, would you deny that also?

mtis:
A quote from one of the posters

"Nigeria is a very dangerous country but because Nigerians are so used to it, they may see it as normal"

Nigeria is not more dangerous than anywhere else in most parts of the world except for Borno and Adamawa states in the North East.
There are 36 states in Nigeria, and they are mostly different from one another.
Life in Calabar and Enugu is totally different from Lagos which is different from Abuja which is also different from Akwa lbom.
Even in thesame Lagos, life experienced in lkoyi and the lslands is also different from what you experience in Mushin or Ajegunle.

mtis:
Am sorry for what happened to our friend but ya dont splash cash like that to security guys an ya from Nigerian...They can milk you everything an deport you back...an like i said before your embassy is not helping much either..its toothless as regard to helping its citizen

My question is... Do Kenyans normally take bribes at the airports? Let's forget about Nigeria now.

Opinion, is Nigeria as dangerous as foreigners think....

mtis:
You guys are targets an thats the truth..most of this guys associate naijas with with illegal stuff an thats why they harass you..Your embassy doesn't help either..

You are still not answering my question.

Nollywood.

mtis:
its not about bribery its where ya coming from..believe me if the guy was from South Africa things would be different...Many Nigerians who travel outside their country are nicer people but the few bad apples spoil everything..Actually the truth is Nigerians are placed on a different list in many countries..so when ya give the security guys that green card watch ya self..

So do those Kenyan security officers only take bribes from Nigerians or is it their culture?

Kenyanstar:
All that story sounds like crap.... Anyway he should know that with the reputation that Nigerians have immigration will give them a hard time. Next time before you book a plane to Nairobi ensure that that you have a host in Kenya to help you through those processes. Most drug mules use JKIA as a conduit for illegal drugs and laundered money so they rarely get the treatment a Ghanaian or any other national from other stable country will get.

So are you saying his story of rampant bribery in Kenya is false or you just wanna deviate?

webbro007:
na them,flat head,upon,sponsors of nnamdi KANU,developers of other people place,while their potopoto land is there,awon developer ko.

A native of Portharcourt, they didn't specify as lgbo.

pumpingmachine:
See me enthusiastically checking names and not surprised at the result. Nairaland has spoiled me o

Has Portharcourt become lgbo?

This man is a patroit though, no matter what people say about him or his shortcomings.

What's going on at this moment?

This is similar to a Nollywood script.
I pray God grants the bereaved the fortitude to bear the loss.

mtis:
According to many naijas in this thread any Kenyan not black is not a Kenyan at all...just go back on the thread a read some of your fellow Nigerians posts

I don't get it, have those lndians become Kenyans?

Obi1kenobi:
I get your point. There's not a shred of doubt about the massive failure of leadership in the ND, but if Rivers, Delta and Akwa Ibom which account for most of the Federal government revenue controlled their own resources rather than 36 states of the Federation sharing it, even with more massive looting, enough will still filter down to develop their infrastructure. Expanded sea ports, international standard airports, access roads (this might be their biggest challenge compared to the SW road network), even rail to carry cargo from the ports. And they will thrive with the NE corridor, Middle-Belt states and the SE looking to profit from the thriving SS. Lagos has benefited a lot more from central government administration and has reaped the dividends for decades and the other regions have never been able to compete. For me, its fanciful to think Lagos will profit even more from this resource control. We're reaching saturation point already in Lagos and industries are already spilling over to Ogun state which is ripping the dividends and poised to be the most progressive state in the country in the coming years.

Yeah, l think we can also amend the constitution in a way that demands accountability from Governors, certain promises must be fulfilled or risk impeachment. The people and state should have that power.
