I know a reliable company in the CITY that will ship these stuffs for u and deliver to your address in LAGOS within 2 working days.
How many KILOGRAMS are we talking about PLUS whats my commision gonna be?

This is getting more interesting.
Lemme nail your coffin once plus put your retarded soul to sleep once and for fucking all.

Economy
The main reason the USA appears richer than UK, first of all,  is because a higher proportion of Americans are in employment and, secondly, they work about 20% more hours per year than Europeans.
In truth, both the employment rate and how long the average person works are explained mainly by political history. Until the late 1970s total hours worked were falling both in the UK and in the USA; since then, total hours worked have continued to fall in the UK but have risen again in the US.
Equally, if we look at employment data by age group, Americans join the work force earlier and leave it far later than Britons.
The key to understanding why this has happened is the change in US income distribution over the past 30 years.
Since 1979, the bottom 40% of income earners in the US has been treading water, while the bottom 20% has become poorer. US workers have needed to put in more years and longer hours simply to maintain their real income position.

Comparing the economic performance of the UK and the USA does not lead one to conclude that America has the more dynamic economy, or that it has performed better in the past or will do so in future.
The most important feature of the comparison is neither the growth nor the unemployment record of the US and the UK.
It is, rather, that US growth, unlike that in the UK, is funded by a dangerously high mountain of foreign debt.
US external indebtedness, in turn, is driven by the US house-price bubble, enabling US consumers to spend more than they earn. Ironically, it is the UK which, together with China and Japan, continues to lend the money to the US which keeps their households spending and their economy growing.


Healthcare
40 millions American have no healthcare insurance.
The government's annual bill for healthcare spending -- $3,925 per person -- significantly exceeds that of other nations, because physicians' salaries and hospital costs are higher, and medical technology is more widely used.
FACT: The American healthcare system is at once the most expensive and the most inadequate system in the developed world.
People can lie down for hours unattended to just because they don't have healthcare insurance . . . . . . Is this a country?
American drugs are too expensive and many go all the way to Canada to get cheap drugs.

This system is CRAP because only those with sufficient money receive the full medical cover and many of the poorest sections of society are left with little or no cover. There are 2 systems in place that cover old age and the poorest sections of society Medicare and Medicade , but both require the person to apply for them and make them jump through many hoops to obtain cover and coverage mostly only provides the basic cover and little choice in service supplier. Preventative medicine is not practiced to ensure the nation's overall health 
Children's dental health and eyesight needs are not covered as well. 
Many citizens continue to work after retirement as it is the only way health cover can continue.
This is why i think dtw_sola will continue to work till he drops dead at work one day.

In the UK, No member of society is left with no medical cover from the cradle to the grave
The young and old are given the best of what medicine can offer and preventative medicine is used to improve the overall health of the nation 
Due to buying power of the NHS the cost of medicines is much lower in the UK than the USA.

Why would i want to live in America?
The United States "the land of free",ironically has much fewer legal freedoms than the UK and many other industrialised countries.

For example:
Throughout all of the European continent, there are no laws prohibiting gay or lesbian sexual activity, while a little less than half of the states in the US actually have laws stating that gay and lesbian sexual acts are illegal. It is not illegal to be gay or lesbian, but gay or lesbian sexual acts are.
And then there's this crap about gay/lesbian marriage and how it will corrupt the morals of our country.

If you are a working woman in the UK and you get pregnant, you will be given maternity leave benefits by the government.
If you are in the US, you will not receive anything unless your employer decides to pay you.
There is no mandated maternity pay though, so your employer may just as easily not give you anything.
How is this different from Nigeria or Somalia?

In 1979 a UN treaty called CEDAW (the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women) was adopted. Almost every country in the world signed and ratified CEDAW, including the UK. The US did not, taking its place among countries like Afghanistan and Iran and Iraq?
Is this country really developed?

In the US, state legislatures enacted 301 anti-abortion measures between 1995 and 2001.
86% of all US counties are now not served by an abortion provider.
What a sick country?

I'm tired of the US thinking its better than everybody else, because in fact it is much worse in terms of treatment of women and homosexuals and blacks and hispanics,  well basically if you're a white male in the US  you're golden but that's where the buck stops.
Is it not the same country that still practises the DEATH PENALTY?
There have been 1079 executions in the United States in the last 30 odd years. It was a staggering 53 executions in 2006.
Does this country really appreciate the Human Rights Act?


I will not live in a country that doesn't defend the rights of more than half of it's population.

P.S. . . . . . . . . .In every country you have some good and bad things as well as good and bad people
It's like that everywhere in the world. And it's normal to like the place you live in more than everywhere else.

For Bleep's sake. . . . . . . I hope this aint true.

Tevez to cost Man United 38 million pounds?
Where is this money coming from?
Call MI-5, i can smell DRUG MONEY!!!!!!!!!

@ blue-sky,

I actually stay in NW Area of London(Swiss Cottage).
Enjoy your vacation in the USA and bring pictures when u come back to the UK.
If u think all UK has is London then u need to have ur head re-examined or better still get some adult education.
U have a rotten luck of being born in the wrong century so deal with that first.@ dtw_sola,

Your comments have to be the most senseless on this thread.
I read it, filtered and digested it and all u spew is balderdash and raw bollocks.
Jackal a jobless clown? If only u know better u wouldn't be spilling ur guts like chicken cordon bleu and talking trash on a public forum.
I was only trying to highlight the low quality life majority of all y'all are living in the United States.
Talking about the minimum wage does not mean i earn a minimum wage. Open ur eyes wide open and read between the lines.
I shouldn't be boasting online but i can bet my mortgage that i make more income than ur greasy ass.
U claiming to be smart? I have a better chance joining the KKK.
Your comment is a complete contrast to a man i can describe as being ASTUTE . . . . . . . The whole spine of ur comments is horse-shiiiit!

What a myopic way of analysing issues.
Because you are no sickler means u couldn't give a rat about others,innit?
Also, just because u work in a company that can provide free health coverage means others without the opportunity must suffer.
Can u hear urself talk? The Health care system in the USA is a complete joke.

No one is disputing the fact that America is not bigger than UK.
C'mon, The population of the USA is 250 million compared to Britain's 60 million so the issue of technological innovations  is not the issue.
What we are saying here is the suffering index of the citizens of the USA compared to the UK.
America has more billionaires than the whole Europe means what? U are a brainless clown!!!!!!!!!!!
Nigeria has more billionaires than any country in Africa but the quality of life in Ghana, Gambia and South Africa is still better than Nigeria.

It is true America owns companies like Yahoo, Apple, Google and all other bollocks but of what significance is that to the relatively suffering masses.
You make America sound as if everywhere u go is sparkling clean but the reality is IT IS NOT.
America has more ghettos than any country in the world and thus more destitutes.
It is only in America i have seen tramps building carton houses on the streets and the government not caring about it.
Show me anywhere in UK where u'll find tramps building cartons on the streets like Lagos.

Go and do your research well.
London is one of the top multi-cultural cities in the world.
I have met many people of different backgrounds here in the UK so shelf that line of argument.
There are limitless opportunities in the UK and thats why u find everyone in Europe swooping down to grab opportunites in the UK.
Why is the GB pound mightier than the dollar? Does that ring a bell in ur ears?
You do the math!!!!!!!!!!

@ J-K,

So u really think we can swing avalanche of goals next season without a RUUD replacement?
Has it occured to u we lost in the UEFA and FA cup because we didnt have an out n out striker?
Has it also occured to u Ronaldo will have it tough next season and he wont get 17 goals?
Believe it or not. . . . . The surprise element has gone. . . . . It was evident against Chelsea at the FA cup final.
2-3 players swooping on Ronaldo has soon as he gets the ball will be the norm next season.

United were lucky with goals last season. . . . . Dont letz ride on that luck this time around.
Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo will make things happen outside the box but who will get the goals inside the box?
Who will bang in the rebounds like RUUD does? Who will always tag along with opponent's last defender to evade the offside trap?
Can u remember Inzaghi's role in the UEFA finals against Liverpool?
U definitely need a player of that mentality in ur team. A player that gambles and delivers.
No other player is better than RUUD, INZAGHI and HUNTELAAR in that role in the world right now.
Man United does not have such a player in the squad so i suggest we get HUNTELAAR and leave TEVEZ alone.
Rossi and Rooney are mirror-images of Tevez so why add another player with the same mould?

@ J-K

No one is doubting Tevez's quality and sublime skills.
Carlos Alberto Tevez is a brilliant player but he is just like Wayne Rooney.
I understand he's blended with the English kinda game but do u really think this guy can be an out and out striker?
My answer is HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

United needs a replacement for RVN. Tevez or Rooney are better off being supporting strikers.
Can Tevez be a box player like Van Nistelrooy? The answer is NO.
That is what Ferguson should be looking at. Ferguson always strike gold with his decisons but this one might prove fatal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were lucky last season the burden of goals was shared by every member of the team, we might not be that lucky this time around.
GET HUNTELAAR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Elgaxton,
We are trying to have a decent discussion here and not INSULTS.
What business of it is yours if someone packs shiiiiit?
C'mon, look beyond your nose and contribute something constructive.

@ blue-sky,

I'd really love u to visit the USA and see things for yourself.
The whole AMERICAN DREAM is a facade.
I studied in California for about a year and the things i witnessed were appaling.

The UK is a better place to stay for me.
Their system suits my lifestyle and thigs are conducive here compared to the States.
The Human Rights Act here is real and i love this place for that.

All United needs is to sign a RB defender that can cover for Gary Neville as he is getting old.
Ferguson has enough centre-backs to last this millennium.
John O'shea, Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Vidic and even Heinze can all play as centre backs.

The midfield area is also loaded.
United's got more than enough personnel here as well.
The new signings will explode if given the chance and i know Scholes and Giggs can still pull out a virtuoso performance for another season at least.

United's attack is where i feel we are lacking a natural goalscorer.
Should United buy Tevez, things might get complicated.
Tevez and Rooney are too similar. Ferguson should avoid what happened to Chelsea by signing too many similar players.
Lampard, Ballack and Mikel Obi are the same thing as far as i am concerned. Thats the reason why Ballack and Lampard always occupy each other's spaces on the field of play.
Makelele, Essien and Diarra is another example. . . . . . . . Why do u need 3 different players to fit in the same role?
What United needs is an out and out striker in the mould of Berbatov or Huntelaar. Michael Owen is too rusty and too short to be considered.
Mr Ferguson, please leave Tevez outta the equation.

@ blue-sky,

I DISAGREE with u totally.
The quality of life in the UK is far better than what u get in America?
When Hurricane Katrina blew New Orleans away, i stared in disbelief that New Orleans was indeed in the USA.
Take out Florida and California and America is not different from Ivory Coast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Dis Guy,

Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much easier in the USA? I am having a laugh.
Majority of em are living from hand to mouth whereas they are doing more than a job to make ends meet.
America is HELL.

AFRICANS AIDED AND ABETTED SLAVERY
All the stories i read about SLAVERY had inside jobs attached to it.
An African chief from village X invites and tutor the whitemen to invade village Y and enslave the inhabitants.
Of course, there was a price-tag of Alcoholic drinks and small face-mirrors.
Have u forgotten how Kinta Kunte was captured?

@ Kitaun,

How OLD are u if i may ask?

@ Kitaun,

80-120 pounds a week to live on is still better than roasting away in Nigeria.
If u spend 30 pounds on food in any departmental store u will need a cab to take your stuffs home.
The whole stuffs should last you for 3 months EASILY without having to buy anything.
Food is cheap and when u remove hunger out of any equation it becomes much easier.
Can we say the same in Nigeria? No.

Say for instance u make that kind of money in Nigeria , You still have to worry about the fuel in your generator. Is that a good option?
You still have to sleep with one eye for fear of 'em midnight marauders who breaks in and rip you off your hard-earned money.
Besides, some people don't have anything to fall back on in Nigeria as they sold all their life's worth to cross the Atlantic so why would they deport themselves.
You gotta be here to understand.
I still repeat it. . . . . . . . .90% of the people branded to be stingy are actually not stingy.
They are not bouyant enough to give out is the main reason why they been branded as tight-fisted.
If u don't believe me. . . . . . . . Please relocate and see things urself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US is popular but the quality of life down there is over-rated/exaggerated.
I have been to USA and any state apart from California and Florida is struggling behind Western Europe.
The UK is very compact thus more well-organised than the US.

@ 9ja4eva,

This is REALITY staring down at our faces and not NEGATIVE opinion.
The current critical situation were caused by Africans themselves.
It was our great ancestors that invited the whitemen to hunt/capture our own people from another tribe into slavery.
They traded their kinsmen into SLAVERY for weapons, assorted drinks and other accessories.
Wonder why Jamaicans don't like Africans? They believe Africans sold 'em off to SLAVERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if u don't know. . . . . . now u know.
I detest it when people dont take responsibilty for their actions.
Nigeria's problems were caused by Nigerians.
Definitely,it was the whitemen that brought CIVIL WAR into Nigeria between 1967-1970 that claimed 2 million lives in the East.
Abacha and OBJ is an American and IBB is British.

@ Kitaun,

U will always find bad eggs in every situation.
My point is Nigerians are always snappy to say the folks living abroad are STINGY.
The fact is these people dont even have enough to feed 'emselves, let alone give out.
I understand most guys get to UK or US and start claiming to be what they are not and this increases the parasitic levels around 'em.
Loads of geezers send pictures of someone else's car and crib to deceive folks in Nigeria. Why they do this? I really dunno but its the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!
Eventually, the expectation and demands goes astronomical and people think a guy driving a McLaren should be able to spare 600 quid whereas the guy they are hoping on is a BUS PASS disciple.
Do u get the drift?
A lot of guys really wanna give but they dont have enough to give.

ROTFLMAOWPIMP

Did u say there are more homeless people in America than Nigeria?
C'mon, get REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the percentage of the homeless folks in America compared to Nigeria?
The homeless people in America were given hostels to stay but they don't want to because they have to feed their habits(DRUGS).
What plans has Nigeria put in place to help the multitudes of tramps sleeping in motor parks and subways in Nigeria?


So u have to be extremely rich in Nigeria to enjoy?
Having 50 cars in a 20 bedroom mansion, i guess, is what u term as being rich?
Whats the fate of an average decent Nigerian? DESPAIR?
The beauty of the developed country is u dont have to be very rich to enjoy the basic needs of life. See the difference?
Take it or leave it,Nigeria as a country is very ILL.
70% of the population are still entrapped in the poverty bracket.

E go better for Nigeria?
Dream on. . . . . . . . . Dreamer.
The people governing Nigeria have designed it to FAIL.
If it doesn't fail. . . . . . there wont be avenues to embezzle funds.
Oil refineries breaking down is a classic example. . . . . All this incidents are targeted sabotages.
The country produces oil and u still have scarcity of fuel every now and then.
Can someone wake this geezer up?

@ Kitaun,

I disagree with u.
No one is stingy.The economic strain is the factor here.
Can u give what u don't have?
Nigerian immigrants make an average of 250-300 pounds a week.
With imminent mad bills to pay that amount reduces to 20-30 pounds a week!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets do the math. . . . . . It means u have just 80 pounds to save in a month.

How wld u feel when someone calls u up to ask for 600 pounds?
You are skint and the cold weather gets u bleeped up and someone in Lagos needs 600 pounds because he wants to throw a party?
Blimey. . . . . . . U will go ballistic.
Thats the mentality and the reality here.
A lot of people are so skint they are living from hand to mouth.
The income is just enough to take care of an individual and thatz it!!!!!!!!!!!

Ghettos in Jand?
Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeeease.
Tell me which area in Jand u found homeless, hungry and naked peops?
I can understand there are slums in Yankee but not Jand.

@ 9ja4eva,

Since we are talking about Heaven and Hell, it means we are talking about 2 extremes.
Niger, Somalia, Sudan, India and Haiti all belong to the same category as Nigeria.
Any country in this age where its people are still homeless, hungry and naked is HELL!!!!!!!!!

If Nigeria is Hell then the Western Countries are SUPER HEAVENS.
Do u know lags in UK prisons enjoy a more better life than ordinary citizens in Nigeria?
I was reading an article that says each Prisoner in the UK gulps up to 200 pounds per day on expenses.
How much does an average Nigerian spend a day. Barely a pound dollar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine this. . . . . . .  If a SLAVE SHIP berths again in Lagos how many Nigerians do u think will jump into it out of free will?
Me mind says millions of youthz.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a standard practice for the folks in Africa to make demands.
Did i say standard practice? Its automatic and u don't even need to have close ties with the person making the demands.
It makes u wonder why Nigerians get here and find it difficult to make ends meet.
The demands are HUGE and frustrating.
Its the life we CHOSE.

@ Davidylan,

I fancy your SARCASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Life is better in Nigeria?
Try HELL is better than Heaven

UK is a better place to live in. . . . . . . . . . .
Quality Education, Proper Enforcement of the Human Rights Act and an excellent Health Care System.

Our police don't brand guns like they do in the USA to terrorise people. Our police don't beat citizens like i have seen in the USA.
There are no death sentence penalty here like they killed TOOKIE WILLIAMS.

People still get treated in the NHS with or without a NHS card unlike the USA where the Health Insurance is a necessity or DEATH.

A lot of people complain about the tax system but thats bollocks.
The minimum wage here is about 5.35 pounds($10) and its about $7(it varies from state to state) in the USA.
For instance, Georgia pays aboout $5.25 which is less than 3 pounds in the UK.
Even animals make more money than that!
Please do the math!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer the UK anytime, anyday.
It's more compact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest. . . . . . . .

I think u need around 1 million pounds.

Indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is better in Nigeria with:

Epileptic power supply.
Non-existing drinking water.
Dyslexic Public Transportation
Paralytic Communication System
Bad roads.
Menace of armed robbers.
Bribery and Corruption.
Lack of social security.
Untold hardship.
Mass Unemployment
Breaking of Law and Order
Gross Indiscipline.

If this is what u call a better life then Nigeria is within the premises of HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear. . . . . . . . . IT'S LAGOS.

@ Somebody,

Please forgive 'em cos they know not what they say. . . . . . . . . . .
Majority of 'em don't know better and this is where IGNORANCE ain't BLISS.
How can u even begin to compare life abroad to life in Nigeria?
U shouldn't even sink low and argue this.
Life Abroad is 100000 times better than Nigeria.

Fucking Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is hilarious.
Nigerians in the UK are stingy?
Try Nigerians in the States. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

@ Ruddie,

I don't think there's a better Midfielder than Roman Riquelme in the whole world.
He epitomises skills, vision and subliminal touches.
How can u even compare Pirlo to Riquelme?
Ship Pirlo to Villareal and lets see how he performs OR ship RIQUELME to AC Milan and letz see his input.

The way RIQUELME strings passes on the pitch makes me go wow.
Every move is initiated through him and he is a master at what he does.
Premiership managers are either blind or myopic not to make moves in bringing RIQUELME to England.
Who would u rather have in ur team?
Fat Frank Lampard or Roman Riquelme?
Carrick or Riquelme?
Fabregas or Riquelme?
Mascherano or Riquelme?

Me thinks RIQUELME beats 'em HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
