Travel / Re: Do You Ever Think Of Moving Back To Nigeria by invisible2(m): 10:47pm On Dec 10, 2010

Not in so many words, but lets analyse his seemingly unguarded  statements and use himself as a reference point.

1)The Western world is not where I, Sweetie, belong
2)I, Sweetie, am just being tolerated in the West.

Based on the above he, Sweetie, has resolved to go back home.
Well that is strictly his own perspective but it is highly unlikely that most Nigerians in the diaspora would resolve to go back based on the above abstract, ephemeral issues.

On the contrary there would have to be very hard-headed business and professional reasons that would compel most people to relocate back home.


Business, professional reasons, what about emotional, psycholgical reasons borne out of years looking into loathful stares of people who think you are the cause of all of humanity's problems?
We used to sing this song when we were little;
Miri zobe, zobe
Anwu chawa, chawa
Agaghim aba 'n ulo onye kporom asi.
Meaning
even if there is rain storms so strong
even if the sun is melting the earth
I will never run into the house of those who hates me!

I wonder if the quest for pleasure will make you stay in the house of a people that hates you?

Well lets be very clear that if you want to go back to Nigeria that is strictly your own personal choice and would presumably be for your own personal benefit. However it is not for you or anyone else for that matter to come out with highly generalised statements about the situation and circumstances of Nigerians in the diaspora.
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. To be realistic though there won't be any mass reverse migration in the forseeable future.

Do you think if Mikel remains playing for Nigerian club, he will be invited to play in the Super Eagles.

Hi Cap28, good to hear from you.
Yeah the Zenith Bankers told me you are really on point on
the issues affecting third world countries ie the financial & economic
situation of black african countries,

He said i should check out an Economist called Micheal Hudson
and an audio interview he did called "America - Host or Parasite",
i have just listened to it and all i can say is WOW! This micheal Hudson guy
shoots straight.

The truth is out there for anyone that cares to find it.

So, Zenith bankers, some of them first degree holders in different fields are now the political and economic experts on African issues? Most of our problems are self inflicted, bad leaders who seized power then and weak/corrupt leaders who still lack the courage to do the needful. America is a parasite, and any other foreign power will do the same. But their influence in our political affairs are very minimal. Go on and tell me they were the ones that told our senators to be demanding a 200% hike in salaries, or that they advised Ibori to steal govt funds or killed Yar Adua or stifled NEPA?

Michael Hudson is an expert like millions others. He has just one opinion, and there's nothing to show he is right. He is just selling his tapes, books and surviving like lots others. To lean on his opinion is mental laziness, use your own head.
After the civil war, Fredrick Forsyth wrote a book on the wr, but it was as far as he understood, the foreign world bought his own version. If you want a deep understanding about the war, ask the players like Alex Madiebo, Hassan Katsina, Theo Danjuma, C Ojukwu, Obasanjo, and many others.
Time for us to believe in ourselves than thinking the white man has superior brain and is always right in everything. You will believe Hudson, and disbelieve Okonjo-Iweala or Sanusi. I Pity you.

Because rich guys can afford a girl or two on the sides and cannot disturb madam every day.
Because rich guys can afford to travel and stay away for weeks or months on business and so intimacy time is spaced out.
Because rich women wont like anything to disturb their career or business, they space out child bearing.
Because rich guys dont like having more children they cannot take to study in US or UK, and leave a plot for him in town as inheritance.

I knew based on your comments on this thread, you are naive. But this your comment, confirm you are a cretin. If you know nothing about something you wrap your mouth.
They will cut your neck if you are a Criminal like Invisible. If you have any link showing they cut necks here, show it. We live responsible life here. That is to show you not all Nigerians abroad are into crimes before making it.  

If Seun is the most unpatriotic type, what of Francis Obikwelu, Ohuruogu, Idowu Philips e.t.c
So you want Seun to continue practicing inside Onikan stadium until he becomes useless to his parents. I will not engage you anymore on this, because you are a Never-do-well that feeds on fraudulence.
You asked where he was when Nigeria won nothing at the Olympic. That question should go to Athletic Federation of Nigeria. Those that leave the responsibility of encouraging young talented athlete and nurture them to stardom. That is enough to show you, why Nigeria would continue to be dumped. Seun went to another country where they appreciate talents more. You are here making senseless comments.
You should take time and move around to Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium , Enugu, Liberty Stadium Ibadan, National Stadium , Lagos, Ahmadu Bello Stadium , Kaduna and see talented athletes sweating it out, on their own without encouragement. You think to be a Professional Athlete, it's easy.
Seun is not useful for you, but his family knows what their son went through to get here. Seun does not need your support at this stage. To hell with you and your support.
Nobody asks you to leave Nigeria, neither must you condemn people looking for greener pasture elsewhere.
You can even decide to hang yourself, for other people's success abroad. That's your problem.  grin grin grin




This fool is still grasping at straws, sink like other defeated comerades of yours, drown for Gods sake! Nothing can save you now.
The same dilapidated stadiums you mentioned is where Mary Onyali started from. Okocha JJ and Taribo west started from Enugu stadium, Mikel Obi started from the dusty pitches of Jos, Ikechukwu Uche also started here, countless Nigerians are still swaeting it out and will make it in a Nigerian attire.
Our sports federation are not the best, but its not perfect in Qatar too. Place one foot wrong and you are hacked to death with long, shiny, curved swords by youths shrieking "Allah Akbar"
One day this fooll will come back, and demand to be appointed athletics administrator in naija, and will expect other Nigerians like Mary Onyali and Sunday Bada to step down for him! Trust Nigerians to show him shege, like we made the other fool to find out, Mr. John Fool Fashanu.
Its no skin off my nose if anyone decides to change country, but dont come rubbing it in our faces, just stay away and enjoy yourself, like am doing mine. Nigeria will get better.

@rotimiland, what you need is English lessons, comprehension seems to be your biggest challenge. A person said, "I pay only 945.00 as light bill per month" he doesnt mean he underpays by his own making. He only means he is being under-charged by Nepa. How is that my own fault?

For you to use that in concluding who is a rogue and who is not is rather unfortunate. Please read comments well before you fly off your handle. I dont just survive in Nigeria, I thrive! If that is your grouse, then take a flying nose dive into river Qatar!

If one looks at comments from Invisible critically, you will realise he is nothing but a rogue. He survives in 9ja as he claims in fraudulent ways. Imagine these lines from him:

You can use any amenity free of charge, if you know how to, I know people who have never paid light bill, but they enjoy light everyday


Under Goodluck, light condition has improved tremendously, I now have an average of 20 hours light per day and pay only N945.00 as monthly charge for the entire houses, sometimes I feel guilty of cheating the govt!

The only question I will ask Invisible is, do you think everyone can be fraudulent as you are? So you want people to come back home and join you in your criminal ways. There is no doubt in my mind you must be a Y boy. You better repent now.
Some Nigerians are doing pretty well abroad than their colleagues doing the same job in Nigeria.
Hours ago, my brother here Femi Seun Ogunode won the 400metres representing Qatar in the Asian games in China. The Asian games is the Asian version of All African games. If you know the money awaiting this dude, you will see wisdom in moving abroad when you are loaded with something to deliver. An Olympic gold winner in Nigeria can not collect the sum this dude will collect just for Asian games Gold medal.

Check http://www.gz2010.cn/10/1122/18/6M45ODGI0078007F.html

If you ask Seun, if he regrets moving Abroad. He would just look at you and smile.  grin grin grin



I think you are annoyed cause I use amenities that are too cheap. I said I know people who dont pay, never said I dont pay. Spot the difference. The problem with you guys is you get annoyed easily and start calling names, even when you might be a bigger cheat over there.

Seun is the most unpatriotic type of people. And if you support him, you are a shame to your people. This is a person that sold his soul because of money. Where was he during the olympics when Nigeria won nothing? If Hussain Bolt ran for Quatar, will the Jamaican flag have flown so high?

You are happy he made millions, and will die a second class Quatarie, abi na Quaterian sef? There is no way I can move abroad just because of money, God is good to me.

Please, I beg to be understood, we make good money from young people's stuupidity. In my area, young boys are selling their lands and other possesions to raise money to run overseas, its a hype, a craze, an expensive fad. They see a few that returned with good cars and flashing their money around and they will never settle till they go.
We help them buy up their assets and bid them bye as they leave. We love lands especially, and buy them very cheap, the boys always sell in desperation and disappear. They hope to strike it big and come back to opress everybody with their new cash. Some make it, and others dont. But We keep our lands, and if you need it back, pay x 10 of the amount I bought it from you.
I always tell them there is nothing in Nigeria, they shoud go and make money outside the country, and they are doing just that.
Its a callous world, the greedy will always surrender to the wise. Thats the joy of capialism.

Hey bro thanks for your comments -  im going to finish watching those your links on william engdahl, you know the funny thing is that these american and european political commentators and analysts have a much more indepth understanding of why nigeria is in the mess that its in because many of them are privy to information that is beyond the reach of many people.  They are also in a position to see the bigger picture.  When you are part of a superpower your view on world issues is clearer and more precise than everyone else's.
my favourite political commentators are Michael Parenti (former professor of political science at Yale) Noam Chomsky (linguist and poltical scientist) these two are some of the most unbiased and outstanding academics in the US.  

Even when i discuss with people who are interested in politics here in the west they seem to be so much more clued up about the world compared to our own people, they  understand what is going on, obviously not all of them but the ones who are genuinely interested in politics show a much more comprehensive understanding of what is actually going on.

my favourite poltical analyst is Michael Parenti - former professor of poltical science at Yale University:

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Parenti/World_Safe_Hypocrisy_MP.html

by the way which of my posts was the zenith bank guy impressed with? anyway look forward to speaking soon, im gonna watch those links and get back to you.

You obviously don't live in Lagos or Abuja, don't own property in any choice area, and only buy cars from Cotonou. That's why you can say all of this.
Try to build a house in Lekki or in Lagos Mainland, or in Abuja metropolis (magodo etc) and see if the government won't come and do the valuation and slap you with the appropriate CGT.
Try to import a car through Lagos port, and see if you can dodge the customs duty.
This theory of yours only works for people in Mowe. In Lagos, Alausa will do the valuation by themselves.

Certainly, I don't own anything in Lagos or Abuja, but in some other state capitals. and its clear only a little % of people do. The vast majority lives in other states and enjoy themselves. Mowe is fine, and will rival Lagos on day.
My cars come in through Lagos, there are dealers that pay clearing charges, but I just collect and drive away.

@ buzugee, afraid catch me o!
I wish our leader remain in ignorance of those taxes. In Nigeria, you can;
buy a car and drive it home and pay nothing in taxes, only payment will be reg. Number.
Buy a house and pack in, you only pay the land owner, we dont even care to document the transaction in a land registry. Those that do understate the purchase price, you can write 100k as purchase price so you pay only 1250 naira as stamp duty and registry fees for a land of 15 million. But if you dont register it, no wahala, e no concern anyboby.
You can draw your plans and build your house with your direct labour, no inspection fees of approvals from engineers or govt.
Who even thinks of building insurance? We see it as waste of good money and we dont do it (99%) of all houses here.
You can sell and buy shares in any company and not pay a dime in capital gains tax. Just pay transaction fees and go and enjoy your loot.
Interest tax in banks is around 10%
you can pack your car anywhere (even double park sef) and if anybody try you, call police for am.
There are no speed limits in naija, the only speed limits here is the almighty potholes.
You can use any amenity free of charge, if you know how to, I know people who have never paid light bill, but they enjoy light everyday.
You can build ten houses and fill them with tenants, collect rents and chop everymonth no problem. (most landlords dont know anything called property tax)

these civil servants where do they get this money from - isnt this the same civil service where workers havent been paid for years? 

nigeria rocks so much that when you go to the american and british embassies in lagos and abuja you see queues of people stretching as far as the eye can see jostling violently with each other in order to get into europe or america, it rocks so much that people even bed down at these same embassies exposing themselves to the elements all in a bid to realise that chance in a lifetime of leaving the country!!!!!!
it rocks so much that some of these same people brave the hazards of the sahara desert - all in a bid to get to europe and subsequently america - it can't be rocking that much can it?

Save your self delusion for people who don't know any better, like i said earlier self delusion is a coping mechanism used by people who refuse to face up to reality, however continuous reliance on it can result in a gradual slide into a complete detachment from reality - don't say i didnt warn you!!!

When you said the civil servants are being owed for years, it became clear you last heard of Nigeria since 1986. You are not saying adamu cannot save again, but he cannot be paid. You are pathetic.

Those Nigerians sleeping at embassies are like you, lazy, ill-informed and greedy for an easy life which they believe will happen immediately they land at Heathrow.

@ cap28, if not that I just repented few seconds ago, I would have talked to you in a manner you will regret. You dont know anything about Nigeria, you are so far away that you should not be browsing this forum, please try chinaland.com.

Most civil servants in this country have built their own houses, either in the village or in town. Here, building houses is the single most important investment we make. With an average income of 50k, you can build slowly till you finish.

How can a sane person say adamu cannot save enough money to build a small two bedroom affair in this Nigeria? Even okada riders and barrow pushers build houses these days. This shows the way you bellitle us. And how can adamu not afford to do his floor with any type of wood he chooses, with all the timber growing wild from Sapele to Ogbmosho? Which building materials must he import from outside, cement from Obajana, sand from the bar beach, stone from Abeokuta, wood from behind my house, aluminium from Alo aluminium Onitsha, workmen from every street corner. Nigeria rokks!

People here are doing great, I was at a small boys house this afternoon and was marvelled at his house finishing, this is my boy o. His dupelex cost him like 10 milla to build, and he is just a spare parts retaier in one of the lesser known markets.

More ridiculous nonsense. . . . .so it's a harsh way to live to pay taxes to enjoy benefits of the taxes? I guess you'd prefer a system where you don't pay taxes and are at the mercy of the whims of government officials who decide whether you have electricity or not to run your small business.

Yeah a prisoner, while those locked in poverty because of high petrol and generator costs to run their businesses without paying taxes are living in heaven.

What do I care if they give me electricity or not, so far as nobody comes nocking on doors to collect any money, they are safe.
In Nigeria, communites now contribute money to build hospitals and pay doctors to work there, the ministry of health can go to blazes.
There are private schools to cater for you from nursery to your third degree, the education minister can go take a hike.
There are all shapes and sizes of generating sets for companies and homes to choose from, who will be stooopid enough to depend on nepa? Nepa charges like 6 dollars per one house, (even if you own an eleven bedroom duplex with BQ behind it and a large supermarket for madam in front of the house. All for 6 dollars per month!) Is that why I should get annoyed because they takes my light?
Communities sink boreholes on their own and maintain them, most homes have wells, plus there is still compounds where taps still run, and the water corporation is none the wiser for it! Just free water!
Most roads are bad, but we still gather on weekends and repair the ones leading to our houses the best we can, and drive on it without incident. Damn the ministry of works.

All am saying is that it will amount to double wahala for us to pay for those amenities and the thieves in govt embezzle the money like you know they will. Better for them to leave us the way we are, freedom is swee sha. Even for those small businesses, some have removed nepa cables totally and mounted lister generators.

I would suggest that you try short stories first, with time you'll find your voice. Also, you might want to leave more vivid imaginations on our minds. A writer is like a painter, but painting pictures with words, with that understanding, try bringing in more details e.g when you talked about the compound, I'll want to know what was in the compound, the surrounding, was it neat or unkempt? That way your reader will be able to picture what you're talking about and relate with your story better.

we are now the new govt,
providing our own light, water, education and security,
this is the new thinking, till things change and most serious youths are now thinking this way, providing an alternative power base that is getting stronger by the day. One day we may get strong enough to stand up to the thieves in govt.

As a rule, I don't do that Nigerian beer parlour talk, which you obviously appear to enjoy.
Stick to the points of the argument and don't throw insults around.
If you like, own all the land in Lagos and Abuja. Argue with reason, don't talk about all the land or cars you've been able to buy when you were in diapers. Try the Autos and Properties Section for that.

LOL. Danfo and molue drivers, really?
Why not try that profession? You'd be dead well before you're 40.
It's silly to compare a bus conductor in the UK to a bus conductor in Nigeria. If bus conductors were doing that great, and were having such a great time, don't you think half of our unemployed youth would be bus conductors? Same for okada riders.

You guys don't seem to get it, do you. In the West, there are low paying jobs, and hardship. In Nigeria, there are hardly any low paying jobs, and an existence at the lower rung that offers little more than what animals are getting. And there's a shocking number of Nigerians in that situation.
Besides, there's a lot of Eastern Europeans in the UK doing these same jobs. I have met Russians, Mongolians, Poles, etc, in the UK, driving cabs, working in hotels as handymen or waiters, washing dishes. Same goes for Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, etc. Ditto for so many other places in the West. Why do Nigerians think they are special?

Truth is, you hate the truth. For you to say there are no jobs in Nigeria is unfortunate.
Taxi drivers just started making real money in naija, there are thousands of new taxis bought by state govts on loan, which they are paying down. One guy told me he finished paying for his own with one year left in the contract, thats amazing. I can compare a taxi driver that makes up to 10k daily (will pay 3k to bank loan)with his counterpart in the US. Only that we love to look down on our own. Research before making conclusions.

You seem like an incredibly ignorant and naive person. We went to Abuja, Victoria Island and co. There is nothing in Nigeria. The one that Nollywood are potrating about Nigeria life is a lie to you too right? Who give a fucck about sister. Even a the city call Boston a lone receive visitor ten times than a whole country called Nigeria. What a motherfuccker loser. I didn't know you are this dumb. I blame your parents for not aborting you on time.


GOOD BYE BARSTAD

You are a bloooody liar! You only saw Nigeria on nollywood movies and made your jaundiced conclusions. Dont come back here o! Just stay there till they cure you properly.

like i said invisible suffers from delusions of grandeur its a coping mechanism, in nigeria everyone wants to be a big man, its the trickle down effect of the kleptocrat gangsters who run the country.  When the masses see how ruthless and callous their leaders are instead of challenging them by organised rebellion (like the ANC of south africa did) they imbibe this same behaviour and mete out this barbarism on each other.  

Earlier on in this thread i  referred to a tragic story in which a young destitute woman who lived under a bridge near sheraton hotel had been repeatedly r.aped by area boys until she eventually contracted hiv aids and died  - what was his chilling response: that "she got what she deserved because she was a harlot".

That should give you an insight into the ruthless and callous mindset of the average nigerian - is this a society that can progress? i think not - what is needed is a mao tse tsung type revolution, mass imprisonments and  mass executions of corrupt politicans, traitors and enemies of the state it is only when this will happen that we may just have a chance at surviving as a nation.
If this does not happen before long nigeria will tip over into total anarchy.


Your own problem is using tabloid headlines to judge millions of people. That story you pulled out lacked merit, it was just laced with sensationalism aimed at capturing the weak emotions of weaklings like you. The world is harsh, and I have never seen anyone in the developed world wo denies that ra.pe, torture and murder is not more prevalent in foreign lands. Watch some crime stories on the cable (if you can afford it)

You can go on as you like, or borrow some money and visit naija, your life may just be turned around for the better.

That's just hogwash, man. You were a very well-read boy in your teens? You're telling us that you were able to take a conscious decision to stay back in Nigeria as a teen - come on, how realistic is that?

Supposing you actually did sef, you still did not have actual information did you? What racism world view did you base that decision on? Rosa Parks? Malcom X? E.R. Braithwaite? Since you didn't experience it yourself, your rational decision was clearly flawed, for the fact that you did not have enough information.

I still put it to you that you're just doing the Naija thing - telling stories to justify an absurd position you've taken. No wahala, na Internet argument, fire on grin


This your post shows me you are a lazy person, physically and intellectually. Let me light a fuse under your chair with more facts, I bought my first land at 19 and my first car at 20. If that wont shake you, I dont know what else will. All teens are not the same and all humans will never be equal. I had a complete grasp about life abroad. My entire neighborhood then almost left, all my friends.
Enjoy yourself!
