Are you not a 5th class citizen in your country?
As a '5th class' citizen I can name 5 things the government does for me. As a '1st class' citizen name 1 thing you enjoy. I'll wait

Tell me how he is 5th class citizen in his country?

Anybody knows about hustling in Liberia?

Even Liberia too? Na wa o. Nigerians would never cease to amaze me.

PetroDolla2020:
I am sure Ghanaians and South Africans will be happy with what you just said

There are too many Nigerians relocating everywhere, and Ghanians/South Africans seem to be the loudest on social media on why they detest Nigerians entering their country. So in my opinion, it's better Nigerians reduce their influx into those countries.

CSTRR:
Our people are treated with disdain because a lot of them go to commit crimes.

Let assume that your divide Nigeria.

You will realise that after some years the oduduwa or biafra Nation will inherit the stigma as long as it is the same people that immigrate from there.

Also nobody likes uncontrolled immigration.
Nigerians immigrate anyhow.

Someone earning millions as salary in shell Nigeria is immigrating.
Why?

The Immigration is too much even when It is unnecessary.

It's downgrading the passport.

Thank you very much for this. You hit the nail on the head.

IgOga:
1. Tanzania
2. Gambia
3. Ghana
4. South Africa

Stop relocating to Ghana and South Africa for God sake.

NOOO!!! It means the vehicles are used by Chad, on UN sanctioned deployments..... Is this a UN Rooivalk??

FYI its very easy to verify, I just use Sipri which track nearly all arms transfers in and out of every country

:

Well most of the APC used by UN in Africa is made by them and that's a fact.
So here's how it goes: Chad acquires hundreds of ARA's MRAP from Proforce, which is now being converted by the UN. Simple.

gallivant:
That's pure propaganda from BBC.



This is pure idiocy.

Quote from the link:
The philosophy graduate is one of several hundred Africans, from countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa and Algeria, who say they are willing to take up arms in the battle against Russia, partly to escape the bleak prospects faced by many young men at home.

jl115:
no they don't you muppet.... Those aren't UN vehicles, those are Chadian proforce APCs I believe on UN deployment

Chadian Proforce APC's on UN deployment. So it means UN uses Proforce vehicles in Chad right? Because Proforce made the claim themselves that their vehicles have been used by the UN for a long time now, not today, if you read the link I posted. Why should we believe you without any proof and not Proforce making the claim?

dasparrow:
True. This is why we should all insist that we break up Nigeria to save lives. I don't like the idea of living in other people's country forever because the truth of the matter is, they have the right to ask you to leave at anytime. Even if they have managed to give you their citizenship, they can come up with a new immigration and nationality bill or policy that will say, if you don't have ancestral ties to this land, in other words, if you are not an indigenous son or daughter of the soil, you have to leave. Then what do you do then? You will have to leave.

And don't underestimate racism and racial hate. White Nationalists are not smiling. Their numbers are increasing daily all around Europe and in other white nations and many of them don't want Black people in their spaces or faces. They want a racially homogeneous all white nation and I guess that is their right.

Your physical presence can trigger them and they won't mind killing you too because they see you as a lesser human being anyway. They won't care that you are an IT professional and that you have come to make money. In their minds, they are thinking, why can't your Black behind make money back in Africa? Why are you coming to their homelands?

Lastly, never you underestimate other racial groups. Just because the white man gave you a job does not mean they or the society the white man comes from likes you. Don't get it twisted. But some of you white-worshiping Nigerian coons will have to end up learning things the hard way.

The problem with our people is that they travel to many of these countries and are not current on the political climates in some of these countries.
Some Nigerians here in the name of Japa, would likely go to a country like South Africa, whereas many South African citizens see the Nigerians coming into their country as majorly criminals. Yet our people don't care, they'll still flock there. You go to the U.S, you have people there with sentiments like: Why couldn't you build your country back home and why did you flee? You are benefiting from the foundation our forefathers laid. There are many Americans today (white and black) who may likely vote for a Republican in 2024 because they are tired of immigrants coming into their country especially black immigrants. Because black immigrants as a group are not respected no matter how great they are individually simply because of the state of their countries.
So in summary, I encourage people to travel in order to build skills, but in all these, know that you are in a foreign land. The whites are nice of course and racism is way lower than what it was 50 years ago, but considering the state of our nation, are we respected?

dreamxhaser:
Also, I hate France with passion, the day Nigeria rise we will surely kick them out of African soil.

We can't kick them out of African soil if those Francophone countries want them for economic and military reasons of course.

dreamxhaser:
To show you some African leaders love to behave like slaves. Looking at the map you will know Nigeria is truly a gaint.

I don't have a problem if it's just one military base. For instance the U.S in Germany. But how can a country have 7 foreign military bases for God's sake?
And see how Nigeria is surrounded by U.S troops from every corner. Cameroon, Chad, and Niger had to run to the U.S for protection against BokoHaram. But tell me, how many BokoHaram have the U.S soilders killed till date?
Chad today has so many terrorists and bandits even with those foreign bases there. It's baffling.

Foreign military presence in Africa increasing all the time. Djibouti alone has seven of them.

jl115:
oh yes.... Samorobo still believes proforce has exported to South Africa and the UN

Proforce actually exports to the UN. Do you have proof stating otherwise?

Why do people think older people can't learn programming? I don't get it.

Almost thesame story and complaints in Africa. This time from South Africa.

SmartPolician:
Nairalanders are more obsessed with this war than the war happening in their backyard (northern Nigeria)

Which war is happening in Northern Nigeria at the moment and why call it a war?

Rekay:
Una no dey hear..until una see am with your eyes na then your eyes go clear…I no fit blame you sha, I was once in your shoe

Just go on Twitter, you'll see Africans trying to fly over barbed wire fences at the Spanish board. So shameful and disheartening.

Shma:
Drop the link, stop diarrhearing verbosity.

I dropped the link in my report earlier on. Just go back some few pages.
Not that I care too much about these poverty statistics. The reason I quote them is that you guys believe in them so much. So when they go against your arguements about the 60% poverty bla bla bla, I'll just call your attention to it.

Shma:
Do you know why he did that? I guess you know.

Return the favor as it comes. If you post sugar from your country, I will post the same brand in our country for comparison game. If I post gibberish with no link - then I will retaliate with the same for fairness' sake.

My brother bifwoli posted a link, your countryman didn't.

Nigeria's poverty rate by WB says otherwise? Kenya as of 2017, we do pretty much better at 36% - and the curve was descending. A recent figure of 2022 says 18% of Kenyans live below the poverty line. You didn't call out samboro for peddling Bs, but you're in the forefront to call out bifwoli, is that fair?

What Bs did samboro peddle? The kenyan man you are defending altered his link, isn't that dubious?

You posted no link because you know the data you were going to post is from 2012. Give up already, you can't do this just to score cheap points.

GooodHardDick:
Buhari has finally destroyed this country beyond redemption. All nations of the world now disrespect Nigerians everywhere!

What does this have to do with Buhari?

buckeyemedia:
South South will never see that sit again, if not for bad belle by Obasanjo & pdp, Mumurist Jonathan had no business been there in the first instance.

Ndigbo slot was dashed out to the ljos by selfish minded Olusegun Obasanjo.

You nor thank God sef say nor be Ibori emerge?

tensazangetsu20:
My degree wasn't from a Nigerian university fortunately so that doesn't apply to me.

I'm not talking about just you.

helovesnyash:
And the ignorance is on them. And you. Migration is part of the human story. What are these national boundary lines anyway? You have Irish and German descendants in the US who migrated here for a better life multiple generations ago. Nigerian descendants down the line would be thankful their great great grandparents came over to the west. And I’ll take the racism in the west over the petty tribalism in Africa every day of the week. Anyhow, I don’t let anyones narrow minded view of human nature affect me. Love my country my big foot. The world is mine

Unfortunately the oyinbos who enslaved our ancestors, whom we are running to now, do not see it that way. They quarrel, but they come together when it benefits their country or when it benefits whites over black. It's thesame way they came together in Berlin in the 19th century to divide Africa among themselves. Frances, Britain, Portugal, etc know when to come together. Everything they did those days to the detriment of your ancestors was to the benefit of their race, countries, descendants, etc and they knew it.

tensazangetsu20:
Who gives a Bleep about this shithole . The same white people taught me everything I know so long them can reap the fruits of the knowledge

But the country gave many cheap education at Bachelor's level comparatively. This is why we have many with a Masters degree in the U.S and U.K today.

tensazangetsu20:
What is so funny is that the so-called comfortable ones are just one instance away from Nigeria happening to them and them being on the streets. Nigeria has zero social contract so once anything happens, you are back to the trenches.

You are an IT guy, what is your plan? Do you intend just working for the white man and having the good life for you and your family until you are 70? Or would you eventually build a software that solves a need in Nigeria even if you control things from abroad or travel around?
Whatever you do you would not be wrong because it's your choice.

Me, I am no IT guy but I'm already in touch with a friend who is into IT and we may solve a need in Delta state (I would take care of marketing and some other stuff), even if we decide not to be based permanently in the country. That's my point.

Evolutionlove:
I usually tell people, When doing comparison about countries. They should stop comparing Nigeria with any nation overseas. China never had It this bad. I'm saying It and I keep saying It, Nigeria never really showed some of you It true sides. Most of you aren't updated with the reality on the streets. You Just sit and type from your Comfy Homes.....

Okay so how do we make things work?

tensazangetsu20:
And how is Ecowas functioning? Isn't it a failed organization?

Does that mean it shouldn't exist or that the AU shouldn't exist? What are the Governors in the Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa states doing for their people to give us a glimpse of what they can do if seperate?

tensazangetsu20:
Chinese are homogenous. Nigerians arent. What do Yorubas, hausas. Fulanis and Igbos have in common? Nigeria can never work.

In that case, we create something we can have in common. It's like asking "what does Ecowas have in common to operate as a body"?

Evolutionlove:
You see the problem with most people In your category on nairaland and at large In this nation Is "Most Of You Never Tasted Poverty In Nigeria" Your parents had It all soft for you. So you won't see any reason to hate or disown your nation. I have noticed this several times. You will hardly see any struggling Nigerian who have been denied of his dreams all because he didn't come from a well planned background showing LOVE to this nation. That's all, You should take It from there....

Hating Nigeria is self hatred as long as Nigeria exist. It does nothing to solve our problems.

tensazangetsu20:
No problem, better for them to hate me and I make money than to die in poverty in africa. I am in IT and all the money in IT in Nigeria is from the same wicked "whites". The remote jobs who have it? Whites. Funding money coming to indigenous Nigerian companies, who sent it? Whites. So I rather they hate me and I am making it o than to stay with those who love me and die

I added to the comment you quoted. Travelling is good, I recommend it. But the responsibility is on us to make our Nation work. Constant complaints about our Nation to foreigners would only make them laugh at us, it does nothing. The hatred for the nation takes us nowhere. No foreigner would fix it for us.

The Chinese once had everyone fleeing. The difference is that they copied everything they saw in the West and replicated in their country the Chinese way. They didn't sit there just complaining or laying out all their problems in Public to foreigners, the way many of our Youths do on Social media these days.

Well everyone is free to travel and of course abroad is good but the thing is: You would always be seen there as a foreigner. The unspoken thought of many citizens in this white countries is: Why can't these blacks stay in their country and make it work?

In some countries they just tolerate the blacks or pretend to be nice. No matter how you hate or denigrate your country, you would never be seen as an American or European. Even African Americans are still struggling to be recognized in America despite their 400 years root.

I am not against travelling, infact I did my masters in Germany and that's one of the best decision I made ever. But this hatred for one's own country is what baffles me.
