merengue: Why do you go on every thread telling people that you are an international student whose father owns this and that & on an anonymous internet forum? Are you really that young, shallow, insecure and daft? SMH for the poor sod who calls you his son.

Pleaseeee!!!!!!!!!! I only respond when I'm asked. If you go through those conversations you will notice i just tried defending most middle class nigerians who work hard and earn their money contrary to what some of you who think that anyone holding his own in Nigeria is into aome fraudulent activity. Sorry to disappoint you but my father is forever proud of me and my siblings... His children are his priority and my parents went any length to give us the best upbringing. Now bye

defbond1: Just to mention, education in nigeria is a sorry case!!! And this is not an attack on anyone. I'm just pointing it out in case an educational instructor or minister (whatever you call them) is reading.

Your average secondary schools are still being taught science of yesteryears.
University lecturers using notes of 20 years ago.

How many computer scientist in nigeria did fortran 77? It's called 77 because it was used in 1977. It's dead and buried in the world but not in Nigeria universities where you have to cram it and pass it.... What for? I can mention a thousand cases more.

To be honest... Everything yu have learnt in science in nigeria how has it benefited your life, talk less of the nation. Why? Your syllabuses / national curriculum are very old and most cases not adapted to nigeria. You learn about 4 seasons winters, spring, autumn and summer (not in Any particular order) and cram textbooks to pass them (when all you needed to learn was harmattan and cold seasons. Ever wondered why?

Science is mandatory for all kids abroad. The average child abroad that has no university education has more knowledge in science than phd holders in nigeria. Yes.. Quote me on that.
And please if you feel you are knowledgeable enough over there I will ask you basic secondary science questions ( and please don't tell me you did commercial class or art class-?)

Nigerian doctors are banned from practising abroad why? Just one out of 155 million cases.
My wife went to one of the best hospitals in abuja during our last visit in 2011 and the doctors and radiographers ( who had no clue about sound waves and how ultrasound works) went on about stuffs and were very quick to suggest surgery.
Thank goodness I didn't fall for that. We came back and told our Doctor showing their scan results and notes (luckily with my iphone i was able to scan all the doctors notes) consultants were called in and reviewed the notes and couldn't help bursting into laughter right in front of us. (5 of them). . And they asked, were they really going to do a surgery?( apparently whatever they said they found was meant to be there in the first place for all women). Oh the shame, and pain I felt about for my people over there.
They advised never to go to the hospital and quickly took down the name of the hospital. (Apparently to blacklist them) I immediately remembered my friends dad who died of diabetes but was being treated for something else.

My kids will not school in nigeria. God forbid!!! Only thing you will learn is resilience (read until you die there even though, you cram you must pass the exam but overall you have learnt nothing.) and what's the point of learning when you can't apply it?
( and this is driven by fear of knowing if you don't go school and pass you are toast) it's a positive though.
Trained doctor working in banks, phd holders driving dangote trucks, ha. Insult..... Only in nigeria.

I tried working with the national parastatals on education recently, proposing a complete change in the national curriculum... I was told my own is too much. Well I got paid for my work and left.

It's even more painful to know GEJ. And the late president were lecturers.

That's the country you live in. As much as I believe in hope, I can tell you the fundamentally wrong things in nigeria are still very wrong and will take years and years of correction. Not your generation my dear readers. Your generation can only lay a foundation which is clearly not your leaders priority for now.

Old man here's a bench \________, now tell us how u've failed yourself

jennykadry: Those Aluu 4 boys that were killed, wouldn't be 6 feet under if they lived abroad. What a failure that country is, even the so called police in the community encouraged the villagers to burn them.

How many people have lost their lives in Nigeria for stealing Knorr and instead of the government and we the people to sit down and figure out why people have had to stoop so low to do what they did, we are busy walking the girls around town nAked whilst some perverts insert rods and fingers into the women's private areas and if it is a man they strip him unclad, put a tyre round his neck and burn him to death.

God forbid

Those kids that died at sandy hook, the ones of columbine, Virginia tech and the rest wouldn't have died if they were in Nigeria.

Would you stop displaying your disgusting level of ignorance and inferiority complex.

kingoflag: You do know that out here most kids your age dont depend on daddy or mommy to do anything for them, right? Take a wild guess why people become financially independent starting from ages 16-18yrs old out here.....

Now, get a pen and paper and jot down what you think are the pros and cons of being responsible for self at such a young age and how it translates to a better future.

Well its not my fault my parents are able to provide for me and my siblings till we become independent. I'm sorry you didn't have such luxury but don't come sobbing over your misfortune.

P.s I've made a few bucks on my own, and I knw a whole lot of people ( Americans) that still depend on their parents for every single thing, you shouldn't generalize.

jennykadry: So in other words your father knew you stood a better chance studying overseas than NIGERIA?

I dunno, I'm not my father....

jennykadry: I chose not to be mentally retaaardeddd like you so stick to the question and stop shitting on your pants or getting all excited cos Jenny gave you a few minutes of her time.

My purpose on earth is to identify and mark you Inferior cargos coming online and flexing their kwashiorkor infested muscles.

Moving on....does studying in nigeria not guarantee you a good job in nigeria? I am only quoting what you posted.

Yea definitely. A lot of people study in Nigeria and work in Nigeria. My point was just the exposure and experience you get in some schools abroad. You can't compare NYU to Unilag, same way an NYU graduate is believed to possess a better understanding of a particular case than a Unilag graduate. ( nevertheless, this may not be the case in all situations)

Jenny, you clearly have nothing else to do...

kingoflag: No, Nigeria will NEVER get there especially when people like yourself that have been exposed to the benefits of an organized society still insist on the status quo.

Smh..... We will. I'm done with you

jennykadry: So studying in nigeria will not guarantee you a good job?

Why don't you have sense? Did I ever say that?.... My dad studied in Nigeria, i know so many people who studied in Nigeria and have good jobs.....

Do you have a dead life ?..... Like what is your purpose on earth though?.... Nahh i just can't with you ..

jennykadry: Be quiet please. Some people were once international students whose parents paid 25k grand per semester for a 6 year course. You think it's cheap to Study medicine ? They don't go about announcing to the nairalanders on each thread.

Be quiet I say

Oh yea? Should I jump over the sky? LOOOOL... Wait! I don't get how medicine came into the discussion. Like how is it itching you though, I'm not announcing, I'm just saying.

kingoflag: No its not "Anyone's luck"!!! God, do you even understand how a proper society is supposed to be run or do still have that 'Fresh Off The Boat' scent oozing from your underarms?!? Dude, If you made a report to the police about the robbery will the cops investigate or not? Will they ask you for a bribe before carrying out their duty? Do you run the risk of going to the Precinct to report the crime only to end up getting falsely detained and accused of a crime you didnt commit just because the Police wants to extort you? Do you trust the Nigerian Police? Now, tell me, HONESTLY , how you feel about their American counterparts.

Dude, please, I beg of you, take note how this society is run and when youre done with your studies and you return to your home, try to implement--- no matter how little--- the good that youve learned in this country; thats how youcan change your country. Being a willing hypocrite only means more of the same in the future.

I completely get your points and sentiments and Nigeria will definitely get there. It's just a matter of time... Things cannot just change overnight, systematically and steadily we are getting there. The US is a developed nation, its over 3 centuries old, Nigeria has its problems a 52 but the good Nigerians are fighting the good fight to bring the country to its even greater heights. That's all I'm saying.... I can never diss my country because the US or UK is bla and bla ... Nahh not atall

jennykadry: You should have said no. He won't force you. Why would he even send you overseas when he know yous could get it done in Nigeria?

Because obtaining a degree abroad in a good institution would guarantee you a good job in Nigeria not to talk of better exposure and a somewhat better knowledge especially in my field of study

kingoflag: Ummm....why do you feel the need to impress it upon me that youre an International Student? Is that meant to impress me? I already went through your old posts and I noticed you make it an habit to remind everyone that youre an international student? Remember, like you did that Ghanaian dude, and the other Nigerian one before him? Why do you think I said this:



Fom your postings, youre obviously just a spoilt kid. So, maybe I should go easy on you.

LOL, its never that serious....

Nahh G, I'm not trying to impress you, not atall...just stating it as it is. I'm not one of those caught with the whole yankee or jand thing .... Nahh naija all the way

kingoflag: How was that an insult? Are you ok? And do you realize you used "resort" in the wrong context, because you never referred to me in the first instance. That wasnt anywhere remotely close to an insult, an "insult" is probably the next post I addressed you. I guess you havent seen it yet, but I bet when you refresh you computer.....

You said you "Unconsciously" took a walk at 3am. Now, you claim it was with your friends. Im confused.... Were you friends also sleep walking or did they tell you about it when you became conscious?

Anyway, my response (based on your statement) was that you wouldnt dare roam the streets of Lagos ALONE at 3am!!! If the Police doesnt maim, mug, or kidnap you. The vigilantes will. And if those 2 dont, then a professional criminal will.

K.

I live in port harcourt but we have a house in lagos so i chill with my dad there atimes and yes I go out late at night either alone or with my friends/ cousins and we chill. We obviously won't roam all the streets of lagos. We go from this guys house to that guys house.... That sorta thing like i said "my neighborhood" ... I hope you understand now.

[quote author=prince_onx]Bros, what do these Countries you listed have compare to Nigeria? Is China not a 3rd world country? Only Lagos state is richer than some of them but they have amenities that Nigeria as a whole don't even have. A child from a poor family only ask for Chicken during festival while the rich kids argue about what color of cow to buy. Nigeria is not a poor country and deserves better which was the reason for the Op frustration of those living outside Nigeria. The poverty level is naija is increasing the hatred its people have on fellow Nigerian living outside! And some of you wonder why some NID don't like coming/visiting Nigeria.[/quote]Please don't bring baseless beliefs based on sentiments into this place. Poverty is increasing while the middle class is growing stronger and larger? GDP is growing a poverty is increasing? ..... I keep saying this; the fact that your life has remained stagnant for 20 years doesn't mean that people aren't moving forward.

jennykadry: Wow, so why did you leave Nigeria to study in the US? You could have done that in Lagos you know and saved your guardians money? why did you leave nigeria?

Because my my dad wanted i and my brother to study abroad but hey, I'll be right back after i graduate

kingoflag: You my friend, are a bloody liar. You arent safe walking the streets of Lagos even in the day, and you wanna take that risk at night?

I remember I visited Nigeria in 2004, and guess what? A boy of about 18 or 19yrs old--- born and raised in England--- moved to Lagos with his parents. Probably thinking he was back in London, he went and seen this girl he was dating who lived like 20 blocks from him. On the way back he was accused of being a robber (at about 11pm), beaten and burnt to death. Probably by jealous pieces of shiyyts like these fools we keep seeing comment up here.

When his body was discovered in the morning, his GF claimed to have heard shouts and screams in the distance about 10-15mins after theyd kissed goodbye but couldnt leave her street to go check up on him because the gate was locked--- for some reason, in Nigeria, they got these huge gates on every street ....in addition to the ones in front of every house... which complements the bars and gates they have on every door and window. No wonder a lot of them dont seem not to know if they are incarcerated or free because they live in fear 24/7.....

Anyway, my friend youre a liar. If you walk on the streets of Lagos at 3am for no reason, theres a high chance you wont live to tell it in the morning.

Oh wow, 2004 though? .... Actually Ive lived in Nigeria all my life and i always chilled with my older cousins when I was in senior secondary a couple of years ago. And we always went out late and came back in the early ours and NOTHING has ever happened. The first time i was jumped was in the US while taking a stroll to a party with my cousin on campus. Myself and my cousin were jumped by like 5 guys who were obviously drunk or have been drinking and they took our phones and cash....two of them had daggers. you are not safe in any part of the world. It's just anyone's luck.

kingoflag: Apart from saying: "YOURE OBVIOUSLY SPECIAL", I dont now what else to say.

You really think Nigeria should think herself as great just because nations like Sudan, Chad, Somalia and Burkina Faso exist?

smh You would think after letting people like you experience the First world that you backwards mentality woulda changed.

Wow!

LOOL you nitwit I'm an international student in the US and I've been studying here for about 3 years and yea, i know how things are here. Frankly I can't be bothered about how you feel about Nigeria, you're obviously a nonentity and you might as well be happy with your US or whatever first world nation you would like to compare to Nigeria.

kingoflag: Unconsciously?! Do you have a sleeping disorder or something?!

Yes result to insults..... Well I mean... I took a walk with a couple of friends around my neighborhood out of my own free will and not because someone said i should try it .

You'll be alright okay...

OmoEziokwu: No place is free from flaws whether its London, Tokyo or New York, but I swear if you have lived outside Nigeria and experienced how things work in a normal society, anytime you think about Nigeria you would just get mad! This post is annoying. RUBBISH!

Nitwit! When comparing try and compare Nigeria with te other third world nations why didn't you move to Somalia, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, India, Venezuela, chad, etc than compare Nigeria to your glorious first world nations. Obviously anyone driving a Bentley would get angry even if he was given a very tricked out Toyota or Honda and the Bentley taken away from him. So why not go these countries i mentioned then tell me how exactly you'll look at Nigeria from there.

MacDaddy01: What if I told you that I'm actually one of the few rich Nigerians in diaspora?

Lol wealthy people don't speak this way, you broke old man working in a nursing home

Prof Corruption: I had a good laugh.

Lamentations of a deluded Nigerian. What positive story or side you want to highlight in a nation with abundant oil deposits without functioning refineries!
A nation with abundant gas reserve without power supply. A nation with competent folks here and there but being ruled by clueless morons. When you steal 213m dollars, you pay a fine of 1500 dollars!

Instead of demanding the clueless morons running your country down sit up, you wrote this piece of crap, no wonder the entire education system in the country is a piece of putrid $hit.

This is exactly what the poster is addressing... Why lament on this? Why are yo even on a Nigerian forum? ... You left the country and you call wherever you ate home no? Now stay the F U C K OUT!!!

elopee3000: All What u said is good my brother all nigerians can not live in oyibo land allso all nigerians can not live in naija,but if u say better thing no good buy Apple juice made with bitter leaf juice,every body like better things,and Pls one day in ur life take à walk from your house by 3 am in thé morning to to your nearest destination in naija tell me about ur journey ,ka chineke mezie okwu

Why will I just get up at 3am and walk around my neighborhood although I've unconsciously done this a couple of times and yes it was peaceful and beautiful....NOTHING HAPPENED. My God you people make it seem like everyone lives in some adjegunle or some other ghetto, like TF!

PetroDolla: which yeye power?phcn abi nepa?population?as in producin kids like rats?wealth?with 90% of u monkey survin on $1 a day?deluded lunatic

I mean power in terms of POWER and not electricity nitwit. I swear I'm yet to see that Nigerian who lives on $1 a day even my gateman gets paid 35 grand every month, that's like $270 that's like 9 bucks a day and we even feed the guy twice a day, he basically just saves his salary. The woman selling bole ( roasted plantain) will earn about N3500 that's like 70 grand a month so dude frankly you should get your facts right.

I'm done with you....

PetroDolla: hahaha that sh1tty,dustbin country called nigger-ia is a crazy asylum filled with lunatics.demons.fake country!

Awwww you poor black thing

.

Bigo8291: No shame in that, after all Lagos has the same pop as Ghana. Name one aspect where Nigeria beats Ghana. Look at per capital and HDI, gini, health care, education, and all other ranks.

Power, population, wealth, intellect, infrastructure, entertainment, oil production..., i can go in and on

[quote author=PetroDolla][/quote]Oh please spare me the jealous sentiments. Go and google Dangote, Adenuga, Jim ovia, Alakija and the rest. Not even one Ghanaian made the Forbes list on any ranking,; power, wealth, awards..... None! You can't compare Nigeria to Ghana... You guys don't even have the stable electricity that you continuously brag about, so please sit \____

Bigo8291: Yeah, u r right at least u did your research. At one point three universities in Ghana were top thirty and Nigeria had one.

Nigeria produced the richest black man and woman in the world. The infrastructure in Nigeria is miles ahead of Ghana and many other African countries.... Frankly I don't want to compare both nations but your very myopic view on Nigeria is utterly disgusting.

Bigo8291: Yeah, u r right at least u did your research. At one point three universities in Ghana were top thirty and Nigeria had one.

Are we dwelling on the past or present?

redsun: Our problem is not our African neighbours,but our leaders that are destroying our destinies even with all our natural endowments.

If we had good leadership,all our small neighbours could do is run to us for solace,like the ghanians use to do. They look up to us and they want to see us lead and direct them,but we are failing them by being the ones running to th for refuge.

David mark in his illusion probably thinks right thing person respects Nigeria that is ruled by rogues and terrorists like him. The only people that respects nigerian thieving leaders are born sycophants like rossike and imbeci.les.

Shut up and stop blaming politicians who already made their money before getting into politics for your misfortunes and inability to make yourself happy.

Bigo8291: I am really trying to be civil, but I guess fools don't know how to reason without insults. Ghana universities are rank higher than its Nigeria counterparts and over all well kept unlike its Nigeria counterparts.

It's only uni of Ghana that ranked higher than all nigerian universities, uni of Ibadan follows right at the back of uni of Ghana... And then OAU, Unilag and UNN before another Ghanian uni... (Google)

COOLDUN: You are partially right, but why not the government take up more important projects like this one than Les important ones like the 16billion Vice presidents house project, this is only millions of Naira project, if you calculate the 16billion naira meant for a single house , you will see that it can give the 6 Geo political zones this great project with enough change remaining. Or how do you see it?

The medical city would cost 650 million "dollars" , go and re read
