Does it mean nigeria lack credible auditors with all d CAs?When will we start seeing ourselves as people that can solve their own problems and put mathematics at work for real?

When last did you visit Nigeria?

fyneguy:
lol yeye man


Jarus don save you. I was going to set a trap for you.

From swindling people of their money to setting traps for others to put them in trouble, all acts of wickedness targeted against your fellow nairalanders. May God forgive you.

Again? Im house dey pursue am for Nigeria?

bomly:
Una wahala too much, it's a choice, some people travel for different reason, this is not about the situation in Naija, Some travel for Vacation, To Study, For Exposure, Trainning and a list of different things. Well do not blame anyone, Humans have their minds shaped by what they have learnt and experiences they have had over the past, it's a personal thing to choose where to stay, one can migrate to a different country and have a better life, we are already 146million in naija make we spread to countries when dey under populated lol, anyway in all Make we continue to pray, where ever is good for you is your home.

Nothing do you, enjoy yourself wherever you are and dont do crime. Thats the point.

there is a great difference in ppl been happy and ppl accepting what they cannot change.
like fela rightly said, we are suffering and smiling and this is just because we are not used to suicide.
be reminded that nigerians are religious ppl hence they accept whatever they cannot change.
so is not that nigerians are happy rather they have accepted their fates.

I dont think there is anything like accepting what you cannot change in the Nigerian situation. Try arranging a mansion for a fulani herdsmen. He dont need it to be happy. Some of them make millions in cow sales, but have you ever seen them buying generators or riding limos?

Suffering and smiling is good, its better than suicide. My dad used to tell me, 'half a life is better than death'.

If you want to see a definition of happiness, look into the eyes of a toddler when its mother comes back to the house. Does that mean the child is rich, or experienced to know what it is missing by not being the child of Barack Obama?
Condition have no relationship with happiness. Some find happiness in poverty, in religion, in service, in knowing what nobody knows. Some die with a smile to their face, crucified up side down.
People just love to look down on Nigerians, because some are poor does not mean that I cannot sit with my neighbor and laugh for hours at the madness of a certain rich fool who departs after making billions and dying of misery. People should be allowed to choose their own happiness, not forcing us to believe you are happier than me because you have a longer prick or have a bigger house, (which you could be owing the bank for)

@the clown, your perception of happiness is elitist, tell me, why do the rich and mighty still suffer heart attacks, commit suicide? If money and knowledge solves all problems, The US will not be suffering from depression today. Some people love life, they sit back and relax with a small radio, a hut and two cows as their only earthly possesion. And you will be fuming and getting mad for not buying another Hummer or completing your 10th house!

How can we be unhappy when

We dont own any debt on our house.
We buy our tokunbo car outright.
Pay N500 for a duplex as Nepa bill
Pay no taxes whatsover.
Can settle the police for any offence you commit.
The senators earn more than Obama.
Dont live in dread of the law. (where can you repatriate me to?)
Can settle robbers and tell them to keep off our particular streets.
Can enjoy a meal in a church and the next in a mosque, laughing with the imam or pastor.
Dont look out for Osama bin Ladin.
Can spend less than 3000 dollars to graduate with a law degree.
Chop fresh bushmeat and dring better palm wine.
Plant and pluck your fruits and vegetable in your compound.
Get cured in churches (who cares about hospitals?)
pull off my shirt and sleep outside without fear of freezing to death.

kabukabu50:
this is what happened,partner
I'm ballin now.

Good man, and the slums you ran from still houses your family I guess? There is no running away from home problems, you will be back to face them. Its your country remember.

kabukabu50:
No,oops must have missed that ,but I know one thing and that is you definitely should,

Did you run away because of the Lagos riots? I hope you took your entire friends and family with you or you abandoned them to the chaos? Whatever happened to courageous citizenship.

Laajman:
Another way of putting it is 85% of Nigerians are crooks.
If I think of the policemen who cant help but tax you, the conductor who wants to cheat, the artisan who wants to make a fast buck off you, your neighbour who is planning to rob you, politicians who want to starve you, the producers of pure water who want to dupe you, the list is endless.

Point is corruption and "crookedness" is almost a way of life in Naija. You can almost cut it with a knife!

@invisible--your heart is your handle, treat it as you may,

The yahoo boys, credit card scammers, robbers, drug dealers, forgers, car jackers, hackers, health insurance frausters, assasins and money launderers are all based abroad. They come back and recruit lietenants.
Senator Nnamani is an example of a foreign based imported crook.

Laajman:
Interesting!
Using the same logic, 85% of Nigerians in Nigeria are crooks, shikena.

Does that change anything, does it make it any less disheartening?

guddsid:
Chairman ,  na wa Oh , why do you hate your own people like this sef ?? you no dey try oh . na u wan be d breeze wen wan open fowl nyash

We dont hate them, the only problem is that if they continue that way, crime will increase here. When those with ill gotten wealth return and bid everything sky high, the boys here will want to step up, kidnapping, robbing, ritualizing anything in their path just to even out things and the cycle continues.
In the end we all lose, our country will become more corrupt and our image home and abroad will continue to nosedive.

EzeUche0:
Most of the Nigerians living in the Diaspora are quite educated and do not have menial labor jobs.

I will say 70% of Nigerians who came over are either pharmacist or nurses. And these two jobs pay well.

You are wrong again, except if being a criminal is a type of education. Most Nigerians that run away from here are the misfits, the never do wells, the obstinately stubborn, the drop outs and criminals who steal just to raise enough money to sponsor their journey.
These guys mostly dont have any knowledge of anything, the only thing they want is to go out and make money by all means. They lie that they are footballers, students business people till they get there. And some do make it, just go on, tell me they became pharmacists in one year?

bawomolo:
abi, the same fights every day

Yesooo, till those guys wey say those here are too lazy and are cowards eat their words. You can imagine kettle calling pot black. Somebody ran away and refused to face his responsibilities and still get mouth to talk to warriors here who braved the whole bad conditions and came out tops, una drink something? How many of you can survive the African sunshine, jelly fish.

wesley80:
You have to give credit to 95%of NID's, Abeg e no easy. Or is it easy to be 'doing well' in another mans land washing Plates,Corpses, and doing mai-guard (of course in morgues afterall who would employ u to guard anything of value given d way una eyez dey shine and your reputation?) yet they still save enough to send back home, gather enough to come home every 10yrs (of course they only stay that long because Ngr is too hot), dress like some Somalian version of Puff Daddy in their FB profile pictures and after all these expenses, they still have to maintain their constant internet service so they can bombard all these Home Based Nigerians(HBN's) in Nairaland about how they are enjoying 'White mens sweat'. Abeg NID's una dey Hustle, I hail O! .
So no matter what anyone tries to say on this thread, Chin Up, Chest Out afterall nobody dey help una drink the Panadol every night!

LWSMD!!! (laugh wan scatter my dada)

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=540893.msg7035331#msg7035331 date=1288298722]So you're typically talking about those you know. Eh ehn, you should have said that now. 85% of the NID you know are suffering abroad.

My aunt is going home for the 5th time this yr alone. You have to understand that it's hard for some ppl to get days off from work to go. My mother only gets 2weeks off in a yr, she prefers to spend those weeks with her children. And yes, she has been home.

If you call your people and talk to them constantly, you dont have to worry about them being in jail or dead.[/quote]Your last sentence sums up my point, we have to worry about them, they are dear to us. Didnt hear you say you came back, or are you underaged?

EzeUche0:
I travel back to Naija at least two times a year. Most of the Nigerians I know, at least go back home during the holidays.

You must know only the elites abroad. The ones I know dont come back here in five years, some come back to impregnate their wives after the woman don cry like a thousand time for phone, complaining of 'congi'
Some have never returned since they travelled 15 years ago, we fear they may be in jail or dead. Na wao!

LFJ:
If definition of doing well is to be able to afford three meals square, clothing and have a place to put your head without worry about the other neighbors disturbing your peace after working day, then I will say they are doing well. But, if your definition of doing well is to have 3 cars, plenty of money in the bank, then it will be hard to say they are doing well.

How many can even afford the three meals? What of the ones squatting?

EzeUche0:
I would say most Nigerians in the Diaspora are doing well. . .  

Yeah, and thats why most of them cannot afford ship ticket to travel back home to see their aged parents?

lagerwhenindoubt:
Dude, I speak for myself, the act of cheating on your spouse has different roots other than sexual prowess and lust. it may even be occultic

There we go again, occultic? Pls arrange some lager, you are clearly in doubt.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=540893.msg7034430#msg7034430 date=1288288546]where are the "true face of nigeria" gang?


una no see this topic ni abi na diaspora una dey.[/quote]We are waiting for them here. They are afraid to come show their faces. Somebody said its because many of them are not doing well, thats the reason they turn to crime.

seye4nii:
What the hell is wrong these creators?? what sort of beef do they have with NIDs [color=#990000][/color],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, na bad belle dey worry dem

Bad belle for those in terrible and sinful situations? No, we are showing pity and brotherly love. We want them to repent or come back and cultivate their fathers farms.

Hehehehehe! Na true sha in reverse!
@atam, carry go jare!

[quote author=Black_Revo link=topic=538847.msg7027487#msg7027487 date=1288209465]I guess if the vice - chancellor of a university comes out and say 99 percent of the student in that university are crooks we should believe him?
So anything a nigerian says is home truth and we should believe him or her? Please stop using this kinds of silly analogies okay.

There are crooks everywhere both home and abroad so lets all live with it and those who feel they are good can work together for Nigeria's development. I think it is you that should stop the holier that thou attitude because i never claimed to be holy here. Why don't you seek for ways that the positive sides of both ends can work together for our development instead of this big joke of a thread.[/quote]Bros I feel you, but Sanusi said the banking system is/was brimming with crooks and it turned out he was right.
There are crooks everywhere but it seems the actions of our diaspora folks have a huge impact on the level of corruption here dont you think?

safariman:
^^^^^
Over immigration offences, not sure if that count as crooks

Immigration offences are not fraudulent? Tell that to the prison guards. Someone that stands up and lied his way into jail and you are trying to justify that, what do you think he will become abroad? A pastor? next you will tell me police taking fat bribes in naija is not a crime.

[quote author=Black_Revo link=topic=538847.msg7027376#msg7027376 date=1288208509]So if bbc comes out and say 95 percent of Nigerians are living below the poverty line then Nigerians who are not poor should not be angry and do nothing about it?

No wonder our leaders do not care about us, let me ask you . . what purpose is this thread trying to serve? So what percentage of Nigerians in Nigeria are crooks?[/quote]Coming from bbc, we wont take them serious but coming from your fellow countryman, that one na home truth.
This thread is meant to alert the crooks that we are watching. Oh yes, there are crooks in Nigeria alright, but does that make it any more comforting? Stop the holier than thou attitude.

safariman:
NEPA just turned the OP's light on enough time to spew that rubbish.  He got his 2 visas from Haiti and Zimbabwe

The Nepa I use in the last two months is great, at least 20 hours of light and I pay less than 1 thousand naira for a house per month, thats like stealing.
The visas they got for me were for Belarus and Russia, that one na country? I lost my passport to make them jump off my back. Who go commot and answer black monkey for animals I know I can feed.

Bankong:
The postar must be a failour and does not know that those in the diaspora walked up the ladder in a hard way against the odds of racism, hate, no god father etc. and won.

Its 'failure' not failour as your abroad teachers taught you. Come back to our strike infested universities, they can teach you better.
