cap28: To make it out of the hood in today's America you need a lot of assistance from the white power structure because they control everything - the educational system, access to jobs, everything .Cap28: You are phony! I cannot follow your logic. You blame and excuse Nigeria at the same time in your epistle. You are a victim of your conspiracy theory. As you opined, we live in a world dominated and controlled by the White Supremacists. By your own assertion, Nigeria failed because of Caucasians. Are you serious or just being mischievous? I don't have much time to be arguing with you because our audience are people who live in Nigeria and know the exact level of frustrations therein. I cannot believe that the country you are trying so hard albeit vainly to defend is the same Nigeria a good number of NLers live in. Ok. Let me shove the truth down your throat. White Supremacists are not holding Nigeria down. Nigeria is her own problem. Why? White Supremacists are not the ones owing people salaries in arrears. They did not force your leaders (OBJ,IBB, Abacha, Ibori, etc) to embezzle funds entrusted in their cares. It was not a white Supremacist judge that cleared Ibori of all the criminal charges in Delta State. They did not force your government to negate on the agreement they reached with ASUU. They are are not responsible for bad roads, lack of electricity, no clean water and other vices obtainable in Nigeria. They are not the ones snatching ballot boxes. They do not force Immigration officials at the airport to continue to embarrass themselves by turning into lowly beggars. Did you see the pictures of Ikeja Police College? Is a white supremacist in charge of that place too? Last time I checked, toothless EFCC is not being run by a white supremacist. I guess in your world it is the white supremacists that are stoking the embers of tribal hatred on NL. Excuses! Excuses! Excuses! Take it from me. The leaders do not believe in Nigeria. I may live in USA but I have more contact in Nigeria than you. I was in a senator's house in Abuja last year in one of their so-called "meeting-before-meeting" (if you are in the know, you will know what this means), I was appalled by the level of deliberations these folks embarked on. It was more like a child's play. And I wondered if these are the exact same set of people we expect to deliver Nigeria from ending in abyss. Nothing discussed there showed any sign of people with some level of confidence in the so-called country. Unbelievable! I came out of there and my whole outlook about Nigeria changed. Aren't you surprised that the same problems Fela mentioned in his songs in the 1970s are still here with us thirty-something years later? Keep hoping! Apparently, you live in a lala land. People like you are the problem with Nigeria. You refuse to acknowledge reality and worse, you refuse to take full control and responsibility of your actions and/or inaction. In times of problems you blame satan and the white supremacists and call on Jesus to levitate down from heaven to come and solve your man-made problems. Perhaps, you forgot that God helps those who help themselves. You know your oppressors. They live in Banana Island, Asokoro, VI, and other choice areas in Nigeria. But being the cowards that you are, you are scared of taking on them head long rather you keep giving away the little you have to some pastors in anticipation of miracles to happen in your lives. IF Nigeria cannot find internal solutions to her problems; she is doomed. I attended ABU-Zaria. That was 2 years of my life down the drain which would be attributed to the incessant strikes by ASUU in those years. USA has offered more to me in few years than Nigeria ever did or will ever do if the current trend is the yardstick. I challenge you to take a walk to any Nigeria Embassy anywhere and see how much your country cares for your existence. Ignorance is bliss. 13 Likes |

disunriches: pls can anyone help me to usa.am really tired of dis place.ASUU and d rest.i think i need to leave dis country for now.i hope to get help from one of u guys.my email...disunriches@yahoo.com;+2348163394517...may god bless u allNow you are talking. Don't let people like ozo emeka talk you out of pursuing better life for yourself. Remember in life there are 2 categories of people: People who see a cup of water as half-empty and others that see it as half-full. Be optimistic. USA is the shiznit! Simple as that. With USA passport you don't need visa to most countries of the world. Try beating that. I was in Guangzhou last year. While most Nigerian business men were having their passports scrutinized by the hotel they intended to lodge in, I breezed in like a royalty with my USA passport without any delay. Other countries that matter respect USA. And you want to listen to ozo emeka? Laughs. Heck if any country wahala me, I will run to the nearest USA embassy and will be offered full protection. Try running to Nigeria Embassy anywhere. Two days ago, I flew back into Cali from Houston where I went to chill for a week to relieve stress. Last night I left Grand Havana in Beverly Hills, drove through 101 FRWY heading south and drove past downtown Los Angeles. Boy or boy. This is the place to be my brother. I get paid bi-weekly and have never had to deal with salary in arrears. Government in Nigeria sometimes owe more than 2 months salaries in arrears. How can one plan his/her life around that shenanigan? The funny thing is that no matter how busy things get in USA, I enjoy it. It beats being idle. I guess that explains why I get bored after 1 week in Nigeria. If you drive through Central District Abuja at night,it has that eerie feelings to it. No night life. NEPA does not help matter either. I chill at Transcorp most of the time and go to Cubana, Central Park or few other places in FCT to wind down. It gets old after few days. Now throw the fear of Boko in the midst, you have boredom waiting to happen. Lagos is a no go area. Too dirty and noisy. I pretty much stay in doors in that city because if you don't jam trouble, trouble will jam you. My brother,come "away" to broaden your horizon. After all na our people talk am say "waka waka na im sabi pass gray hair". The exposure is unquantifiable. 5 Likes |

cap28: Are you aware of the fact that America's national debt currently stands at a staggering $17 trillion and rising? Dude, you have no idea. USA's debt is $17trillion? The important thing is who do they owe most of the money to? Mostly themselves through the Fed. There is a complex and complicated marriage between USA and the Fed. Reserve. You are forgetting another important thing about debt: If you owe the bank $10,000 it is your problem. But if you owe the bank $17 trillion, it is the bank's headache! If USA "threatens" to file for bankruptcy today, the global financial kingdom will collapse. 2008 meltdown will be kid's play. That's where we are. The whole word knows it. When USA sneezes, every other country catches cold. When push comes to shove, they will send out subtle war messages and everyone else buckles. Power pass power! 1 Like |

Comparing Nigeria vs. USA is like comparing apples and oranges.

/ Well, if you stop treating their country like eldorado may be they will stop f@cking with you. For trial, let them make every Hausa person going to UK pay that amount. You and I know that aboki ain't going no where near UK. They are doing it because you people (Southerners) want to live anywhere but in Nigeria. And believe it or not, folks will pay up. You will be surprised that some people are enjoying it since visa to UK will be reserved not for every Tom, D1ck and Harry. Class thingz!

The same level of discrimination you will get if you go to Yobe State and speak Igbo. Have you even noticed the level of inter-tribal hatred on NL alone? Nigerians have hateful heart among themselves. You mentioned earlier that oyibo invest in Nigeria b/c they see the opportunities that we do not see. Big lie! Oyibo people thrive in Nigeria because you don't treat them like humans; you treat them like gods. An oyibo man with ordinary certificate would be considered for employment in Nigeria before a Nigerian with a Ph.D in the same field. Woe be tide the Nigerian applicant if his/her interviewers are from different tribe than him/her.

Afam4eva: As far as you don't go hungry after paying all the payables that you'll enjoy then it's ok. Nigerians won't mind paying as long as they have OK jobs and there are basic ameinities(Electricity, water, good roads, medicare etc).[b]Afam: I beg to disagree. Nigerians are paying but not getting the services. They pay PHCN for darkness, they pay at toll gates for potholes, they pay tuitions for strikes, they pay N97 or more per liter of fuel for long lines at the pump, they pay water rate for dry taps; they pay MTN for poor services. Hilton hotel rates are cheaper in USA than in Nigeria. Go figure! Rents are paid in months in USA and not in years as obtainable in Nigeria. They pay sticker duties for emblems on their pick-ups. They pay the legislooters for non-performance. They pay GEJ for mediocrity. Nigerians pay pay pay. Yet no services rendered. Is that what you call life? I can understand though. Ignorance is bliss. Most Nigerians usually see suffering as obligation until they venture outside the country... then their demeanor changes. For the things that are taken for granted in most countries are luxury items in Nigeria. Common road, electricity, water (and we are close to the ocean) are talked about in Nigeria as if they revolve around rocket science. Even god damn deodorant is luxury in Nigeria.

OP: You are right on point. But as a Nigerian, the first survival strategy is to be on the look out for Yoruba people. They are most willing to help you out when you need it really. It is the simplest truth. Igbo people usually will like to know you when you are already made. Once you meet up with Yoruba folks, life will start to level up for you gradually. Yes!
