Caramia2020:Nigerians like these may or may not lack integrity, we cant judge without all the evidence. For me, things like this has their foundation in our traditional cultures where within community or families things could be shared, borrowed or taken without resulting in rancour. It was understood that we share most things, we were discouraged from being selfish, jealous, or angry at family members taking our things without permission or not returning them if borrowed. Due to expectations from vestiges of this traditional values still knocking about as we transition to Western values , I personally don't involve family in any of my Nigeria business projects. ....I fully expect family to chop my money when dealing with them. They, and I, know I would do nothing because I love them - they are family after all. Therefor these are all in my factoring. I avoid involving family in any project role save maybe monitoring and reporting back. But mostly, to avoid them complaining, accusing me of disrespect or disloyalty, I keep projects secrete until completion. In the end they enjoy the result as much as me. |
Failure2019:That's Disrespectful. |
Internet and information revolution that is enabling remote working; social media platforms linking the world by various media; virtual reality and now Ai means that even people in the remotest third world nation are no longer isolated. This means if you're living in Nigeria you're no longer missing much if you don't move abroad. It means those that have travelled abroad can no longer look down on you. They are no longer that Special. All you need to live a happy life in Nigeria now is sustainable livelihood. Given the advancements mentioned above, today, I would quite happily live in Nigeria and not dream of Abroad. If I had the money and could travel the world to learn of other cultures first hand, I would but it would no longer be informed by a desperate do-or die hunger. |

Psoul:True. This should be cause at least for the establishment to be concerned. In any serious Nation, those responsible for security should be investigating behind the scenes. |

In a Modern state employers employ individuals that have CV's, they check your references meticulously . They will not even employ you if checks find out that you had a work history, your former employers vouch for you honesty and good character but you had unaccountable breaks in your work history. Your work history should date back to when you became of working age, breaks caused by education purposes acceptable. When we do none of these things in Nigeria and things go wrong, people start shouting, NIGERIAAAAA!!!, wicked nation, evil people; IGBOOO!!!, KORWAAAPTIONNNN!!! A-times I wish I could Magic moany type Nigerians into one big baby with fat cheeks and big wailing mouth so that I could level backhand and forward hand across its big fat face and holler, "Shut-up!!" |
jaxxy:Thank you. We don't in Nigeria employ any of these checks and balances (choosing instead to resort to the informal ways we used to do things when Nigeria was still not too far removed from a nation whose people were largely informed by our primordial kindly folksy values) yet we are extraordinarily surprised and outraged when things go wrong and resort to brutally abusing ourselves. Nigeria is suffering from Modernity |
I have asked this question before, do any of you guys and gals know why 90% of Europeans have no personal land but 90% of true Nigerians own land? ...even those Nigerians in rags, begging on the streets of most major towns and cities in Nigeria, or risking drowning on migrant boats, own land somewhere in Nigeria. Often they own relatively large pieces of land too. |
OtuologyProf:Perhaps we Africans are just at core superficial beings, who knows. Our ancestors sold each other to Europeans for superficial glittery things. Hundreds of years later, more than a thousand if you throw in the Romans and Greeks, Africans will destroy you, rape their own mothers even if you try to warn or stop them selling their souls for the superficial lights and paved roads of Europe. |
Anunakeeh:For every killing reported in Nigeria I could comfortably post double the amount that happened in America. |
I love how Adesanya is not corrupt but it's the Nigerians over there that are corrupt. Buhari isn't corrupt but it's the Nigerians over there that are corrupt. Wole Soyinka isn't corrupt, it's the Nigerians over there that are corrupt. The idiot poster that come on here to pontificate how and why Nigeria and Nigeriains are corrupt is not him or herself corrupt, the Nigerias over there are the corrupt ones. KANU is not himself a zoo beast, it is the Nigerians over there that are the zoo beasts. Chimamanda is not corrupt, it is the Nigerians over there that are corrupt. Hypocrites! |
I guess the problem with Nigerians is that there is an endless line of them as JJC arriving in the West. They arrive and look around the ordered environment with the stupid wonder of a child and don't recognise the fetid shit behind the facade. Let me say this, when you as a Nigerian go around telling everyone your home is corrpt, the foreign individual will fein sympathy with you, even open thire mouths to gasp, but inside they see you as a monumental fool. |
What area of life in the West is hunest? In the UK, the average white person lives to cheat (or get one over on you). They look on you like a fool if you're hunest. |
The world's politics is run on the fuel of corruption, the West is from top to bottom corrupt, why are Nigerians this ignorant about the world? That sport Adesanya is involved with in America is itself corrupt. His win may even have been fixed in order to popularize him in Africa in order to gain more worldwide popularity for the sport! The West does nothing naturally. Lottery is controlled so that certain places have more chance of winning. They control even LUCk!!! My god, when will Nigerians wake up! |
Freshtruth:Stupidity is why. I automatically loose respect for the intellectual capacity of any Nigerian that does this. You have to be pretty sheltered thus absolutely ignorent about the world if you believe corruption in Nigeria and by Nigerians is anywher near as significant as that of the majority of Western, Asian and South American nations. Even in Africa, how many Nations is Nigeria and Nigeriains more corrupt than? |
vince96w2:So he or she can spread thire bare ass cheeks against the windscreen in traffic or beside the road because the vehicle is private ? I believe the poster you were quoting was right to sugest that the display of intimacy gadgets, books and random material in your vehicle in a way that is exposed to public view, including children, is possibly illigal under relevant local public decency/indecency laws. |
When you inform Nigerians that abroad isn't the paradise that many with ulterior motives and some with innocent intentions tell them that it is, Nigerians often respond resentfully. Perhaps informing Nigerians that Abroad and Nigeria represent similar levels of difficulties but different types may help. For instance, using the following extreme scenarios as examples: struggling to survive on the streets of towns and cities without help or job, harassed by police and unsympathetic authority represent one type of difficulty Versus surviving life imprisonment in a large jail where you are provided with roof, three square meals, opportunities to learn trade and only need to contend with warders, other inmates. prison authority regime and boredom of incarceration. The former is like Nigeria and the latter is like the West. |
