So why don't you stay in Nigeria instead of running off to Dubai for 6yrs? You can seek Tutelage under Don Jazzy or any of the other numerous producers in Nigeria.

Amya: You really are clueless!

A man who was squashed to death on the tire compartment of an airplane of an international airline paid eight hundred thousand naria to bribe some airport staff to help smuggle him into that part of the airplane.

N800,000 is less than $7000. A 18yr old recently graduated from high school student working at a car lot can earn that in 2-3 months (maybe even in a week if he gets the right commissions) So what the fxuck is your point exactly?

Candour: I doubt the 'properties' mentioned in the OP are homes or lands. They could simply have been electronic gadgets, household furniture etc. Remember he said the traveller was his baby sister's friend? And since OP himself isn't an old man from his narratives, its clear the guy in question must be a young struggling Nigerian who knew he had nothing to present at the embassy hence opted for the 'cheaper' but suicidal route. He doesn't paint the picture of a comfortable Nigerian at all.

My take

Well, you will agree that those are not "properties" in the real sense of the word and the impression OP was giving was that the sold "properties" were valuables like Homes, Stocks, Bonds, businesses etc.

rudedough: As much as we want an incorruptible President, i don't think Buhari can do much in the fight against corruption. Why? Because we are not in the military era where judgement is served without trial. In a democracy Buhari will be frustrated by the judiciary's lacadestic approach to prosecuting corrupt politicians.

What is he going to do about the corrupt EFCC, Police, Judges? What about the intelligent lawyers, partisan press and readily available supporters that would stage a nationwide protest? What's Buhari going to do? Ask the military to whip protesting civilians like he did in 1983? Or is he going to muzzle the press once again? Or will he arrest and jail intelligent lawyers who're most likely to defend corrupt politicians in court? What is he going to do about these bottle-necks exactly?

Let's face it, the system is very corrupt and complicated and Buhari can't do much. I still will like to see him perform his magic however.

Only God knows how much I hate people like you. So,your new method in trying to convince people to continue with the status quo is to say:"Well, even Buhari can't change anything because the system is finished". No, monkeyfucka that's not how it works. When a leader holds himself accountable to the people and the Laws of the land, every other person below him has no choice but to do the same. That's why they are called "LEADERS"!!!! Buhari will never say "Ordinary stealing is what you call corruption"!

Put Gej back there in 2015 and watch your country transform to Zimbabwe in less than 18months.

Candour: I don't think its bullshit bro. Had a colleague 10years ago who told me his story very similar to this. He said the journey is called "see morroco.....see Spain"

It was heartbreaking to say the least when he recounted the tales of his acquaintances who lost their lives. He too almost died in the desert but was lucky to return home, go back to school and earn his diploma which got him a junior job in a bank. He's a graduate now and a hotel manager somewhere in northern Nigeria.

You missed my point completely. Im not saying people don't take desperate measures to enter Europe from Africa, all Im saying is if this thread is mainly about some people basically saying: "Well, if you're comfortable in Nigeria you'll never go abroad", why did the guy in the OP's story not just go to the Embassy and use his homes as proof that he has ties to his country instead of selling them and traveling through the desert and sailing on a raft in rough seas?

The OP is just upset that he can't make it out of Nigeria. Just my opinion.

Sanchez01: Truth is, you said my mind without mincing words. We claim Nigeria is bad, yet it birthed Seun and Linda, Japheth Omojuwa, Psquare, Tu-face, and even the so-called D'banj who was abroad did not 'make it' there until he came home. I have always concluded that Nigeria is a natural resources which does not require the regular mining to tap her wealth. Politicians keep looting, yet, it has not barred those who think outside of the boxing from succeeding.

safarigirl: you apparently know nothing if you assume you'll just travel out and a job will be waiting for you no matter how degrading.

I'll have you know that even the citizens of wherever you're travelling to would also be interested in that shiiit cleaning business you were hoping to snag....

Whatever money you'll make there will be taken away from you in the name of tax. Nigerians don't even know how good they have it here. You watch a few American movies and you think going abroad will be awesome. Na when dem ship your dead body come Naija na that time your relatives' eye go clear.

Only a lazy man will be poor in Nigeria, people in this country run businesses and make up to 100,000 naira per week, some per day even, when they've settled all bills, they cart home at least 2 million naira quarterly.

Seun, Linda Ikeji and co didn't make their money abroad. Banky W, tiwa Savage, seyi shay, Don Jazzy had to leave foreign lands to come and make money here. You never ask those oness wey go come back wetin make them return, you wan go.

I wish you adieu and make sure some red-neck racist c?nt doesnkt end you while you're hustling there

First of, use your real face in your profile pic and we'll take you serious. I bet your hungry looking, rough looking face won't let you do that.

Second, Why are the only "successful" people both of you mentioned in the entertainment Industry? What happened to technology? Science? etc Oh thats true, your country is too messed up to provide advancements like that.

Sanchez01: Few days ago, while I went for a haircut at a salon, my baby sister called to tell me of one of her friends who had sold all his properties to travel abroad, all in a bid to make it big. According to my baby sis, he had planned on going to Spain but failed after the boat he boarded capsized somewhere in Algeria or Morocco.

So a man with a lot of Properties---instead of using it as proof of ties to his country at the Embassy then traveling respectably---- sold it all and boarded a makeshift boat heading to Europe in a move that could've cost him his life?

Why do I smell major bullshit in this part of your story?

SmellMyFart: True talk. Ibos are peaceful and fun to be with. I'm a yoruba but having lived in an ibo dominated environment, i've come to understand that ibos are undisputably the most peaceful tribe in Nigeria. I wish I were an Ibo

When you idiots come on here spewing lies and trying to cause confusion you forget your previous words. Anyway, below is your post from September 21st:

SmellMyFart: yea. I'm tired of these my WASTERN brothers. Always making the IGBOS look sincere. Funny how they attributed sincerity in this case, to igbos rather than the actual tribe, Ibibio

Descartes: Am sure you're not a Security Agent. How did you know that no Info was extracted from him. Please learn how to write and reason professionally before accusing them of unprofessionalism. Thanks

They extracted complete, reliable and vital info in how many minutes?

How daft are some of you on here?

HisSexcellency: So, are they suppose to take him to the hospital for treatment?

Yes, then onward transfer to DSS for interrogations so they can gleam as much info from him about BH and their past and future plans.

Goddex: The man has been eyeing a Nobel Peace Prize for a couple of years now.

Fine, criticisms worked for Bishop Desmond Tutu, it may not necessarily work for Cardinal Okojie. He may keep trying sha . . .

Mad men like you should be burned at a stake. Or at the very least, sterilized, so you don't transfer your crazy DNA to the rest of peaceful earth.

BraniacX: I guess you told boko haram to abandon thier unconventional tactics and conventionally take on A-rated dug-in conventional 7th battalion of the Nigerian army at kodunga. Mmmmmmh, didn't know you and boko haram are such good buddies and are on chatting terms, oh! Dat's what u meant by sharing intelligence,.
Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!
NIGERIA
confounding americas doomsday predictions since time immemorial.

Boko Haram is your creation, deal with it. Believe me on this, if we were to reveal all we know on the sect your country will be on fire within 24hrs. Have you noticed that since your Chief Pastor and President were exposed in South Africa--- and the distraction bomb they set off in Kano the next day--- that Boko Haram bombings have been virtually non existent? Now, you tell me who is behind it.

Amya: You're one of those. Those who think trying all they can to cling to someone else's country make them lesser lesser part of their own country.

But whether you like your or not, you're a Nigerian, From Nigeria! Live all your life In good roads and electricity and it doesn't take the fact that you're identified as a Nigerian. You can't run away from that bro. My bad road rubs off on you even though you're thousands of miles away. My lack of electricity rubs off on you. My poverty rubs off on you. I'm sure the American friends smile patronisingly at you when Africa's is on the news again. oh, they'll think at least we saved this one. we helped this one. He would have been in some jungle with animals if we hadn't accepted him here, given him a job and a decent life.

My friend, what you don't know is you'll never be one of them! Your children will never be accepted! your ancestry is tainted. Try as hard as you might, you can't stop being a Nigeria. If your friends make a bad comment about Nigeria, the comment is about you.

cheers!

When did Meth and Moonshine become legal in Nigeria?

P.S: you need to change that smelly looking weave in your picture.

Yes, not the fact that yall love to eat monkey, Gorilla, chimpanzee and bat meats...

BlackTechnology: The luck in Jonathan's name is working for him

After over 20,000 innocent deaths?

Amya: please don't embarrass yourself further. The America you so much want to align yourself with does not care so much about you. so quit all this 'our' nonsense.

Amaka, first you gotta go change your smelly looking weave. Next, you gotta enjoy uninterrupted electricity for 50yrs straight and drive on good roads(to at least de stress and get your mental to normal levels) before coming at me with your insanity.

Billyonaire: That's not true. I could send you a little photographic evidence.

Earn your pay, hungry boy, earn your pay....

F117A: APC goons would finally get to know what it means to be hunted on the basis of your spoken english just like they did to PEJ.
The PDP goons will come at buhari with a vengeance and publicly humiliate him for every wrong pronunciation he will inevitably make.
And unlike PEJ, buhari is gunning for public office.
Interesting times ahead of us.

If Buhari becomes President PDP will fold like a pack of cards and will cease to exist.

aryzgreat: Imagine buhari deliver a keynote address to UN audience. Obama will be like wtf?

He invited Buhari to his inauguration...


Gej's invite is still in the mail with no stamps on it.

Billyonaire: Not as bad as Buhari oh. Sometimes I wonder who speaks better, between Buhari and Shekau.

Maybe to Nigerians.

GEJ's English is terrible for someone that claims to be a PhD holder. That coupled with his extreme low self-esteem....

mikeansy: Who will interprete Buhari's English to English when he goes to UN?

Will tax payers money be used to interpret English to English?

This 2015 and not 1975

You really think we understand GEJ when he speaks?

"We all sherish dee fact dat..."


Roflmao

Billyonaire: Let me get my favorite 7 yrs old Whiskey near. Seems am gonna be here longer than expected.

You really think you're deceiving anyone? Even without seeing your face, the image in my head anytime I see a post from you is that of a poverty stricken man with faded shirt, long neck, gaunt face and sunken cheeks. Youre obviously a frustrated being working for your pay and have ended up turning into comic relief for NL members.

kayciano: U ARE AN ABERRATION .....
Y cant QUEEN OF ENGLAND pronounce "TOPE"..well...
Y cant PUTIN pronounce "NJIDEKA" well....
Y cant ANGELA MERKEL pronounce "IYANG" ...well....
IF dats Y u have BERATED BUHARI's political goosh..then i will conclude by saying U gat ur BRAINS in ur ASS....

Why can't Patience Jonathan pronounce ANY English word properly?

Why Can't Goodluck Jonathan pronounce more than 40% of his speeches properly without sounding like a 6yr old in the third grade?

idumuose: Buhari should go and learn how to pronounce sentences properly.

Please, Idumuose, teach us how to "pronounce sentences" properly. I thought words are what are supposed to be properly pronounced?

idumuose: The PDP is very kworopt.- Buhari
He meant to pronounce corrupt

Is this why Gej dodged a debate with him but chose to sit with Dbanj the rapper?

idumuose: Have you ever heard Buhari speak in english with his fulani accent? .

A very poorly spoken english with a fulani accent will never sound very pleasant to the ears.

Here is a man who wants to aspire to be the President of the most populous black nation on
Earth,yet he cannot pronounce the word "the" properly ,instead he pronounces it as "ze" , "fifty" as "pipty".

Buhari cannot even pronounce Nigeria properly,a country he aspires to rule.
He pronounces Nigeria as Neeje - Area . The funniest part is the way he pronounces "country".Somebody
should please help me to pronounce "country" as Buhari would please.I want to explode with laughter

Being a Fulani is not an excuse.Let him go and learn how to blend English with Fulani accent properly from
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,the emir of Kano,Buba Marwa,Afterall,they are all Fulani.

I have had an opportunity to sit and discuss with both men, Buhari since way back in the 70's and I can authoritatively tell you this: BUHARI IS BETTER VERSED, AND WAY MORE ARTICULATE, IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE THAN GEJ.

Till this day, I still doubt that Gej has a PhD. At least not one he didn't earn through the "Normal Nigerian Way" in which bribes were involved.

The writer of the article is clearly Ibo.

T.B Joshua is clearly Yoruba.

I don't see the Yorubas defending him. But if it had been the other way around....

Vessi: Oshiomole, Atiku, Rochas, Buhari. Many of them have their eyes on the presidency. Isn't that why it's called desperate people's party?

No, mor*on, it's called democracy.

Amya: We conquered ebola
We conquered boko haram
We will keep surprising them.

You conquered Ebola with our help.

You're fighting Boko Haram with Intelligence we are supplying you.

You will only surprise us when your leaders start to think of your welfare instead of Bentleys and the latest private jets.

Mogidi: Is the above not a hint they ordered Israel not to deal with us?

And what is wrong in asking Israel not to deal with you when we know your govt is behind the insurgency? You really think we want our weapons to end up in the hands of terrorists?

alienvirus: Stop that already. Let Obama respond.

Roflmaooooooo you think we employ mad men to run our country?
