Wotoporiously speaking

This type of kids turn out to be great in life, she will surely regret it and come back to look for the baby when he/she is grown and making it

Nonsense.

Africa is full of such children.

Show me the greatness.

dawnomike:
Speechless.... If she was not raped, why get pregnant in the first place?

You expect logic from women?

They don’t have the power to stop it. If you cannot stop Fulani herdsmen from entering your borders illegally or from stopping crooks from rigging elections then definitely cannot stop blockchain use.

depz:
I wish the passengers of that air peace flight that experienced turbulence from Uyo to Lagos had died. I wish the plane crashed and killed every single one of them. Now that they survived, most of them would go to church and start giving nonsense testimonies about being saved by a stupid God that does not exist, causing more people to believe in that nonsense called religion and making our country cease to progress

Even if those people had died fools would have gone to church to give one useless testimony after another.

Treadway:
nice discourse...however, I am committed to dismissing this non-factual statement whenever I read it. Diaspora temittance (around $20b) is 4% of national GDP (over $500b)....that is NOT very significant. What you should have said is that remittances are a significant source of Forex. Big big difference.

Remember the 96% and not just the 4% as far as total productivity ie. GDP is concerned.

When did South Africa slip behind Egypt?

xevove2061:

What kind of menial job will pay you 200 euros a day?

Ashawo.

And before anyone tells you otherwise, some of these men are doing it too.

Also drug dealers.

headboyprince:
dey play, Just dey play, its better to have even someone sleeping under the bridge is better than you living comfortable in Nigeria...

you think say Nigeria na country... ? nah...

it's a God-forsaken Zoo... ruled by animals in human skin...

many dogs in Europe have a better life than most Nigerians...

so shut your crappy mouth up... and stop consoling yourself because you no fit get visa...

You don’t know what I have or do not have.

The more I read this forum the more I’ve come to accept that the problem with Nigeria is the people.

People move to Nigeria from Asia and thrive but Nigerians genuinely believe that being a slave in Europe is better than being a sovereign human being in Africa. It’s terrifying how foolish some (most?) of you are.

Some will still come to this thread to shout that japa by any means is better than Naija.

Let them find out the hard way.

BloomingDale:
The black man gets the white ladies the white men don’t want. See wetin governor pikin go marry. Lol.

Meanwhile this same lady will be indirectly chopping and enjoying Nigeria’s wealth, while Nigerian children will be starving to death, and Nigerian women will be doing ashawo work just to survive.

African/Black man sold their women and children into slavery. Same thing is still ongoing. Black/African man is just damn too weak and corrupt.

Just look at the degenerate Nigerian men there smiling like the low self esteem fools they are. I just can’t look at their degenerate faces without wanting to puke.

I wish I could disagree with you but look at this nonsense. This woman is no fine at all.

helinues:
This shouldn't be taken lightly..

All those opportunists should be punished. Why taking advantage of the dicey situation?

Isn't that what they always do?

Where are these crooks' names?

Let us stop hiding the names of thieves.

jumper524:
Lagos has lived up to expectation.
Despite the Abuja being the capital of Nigeria since 1991, it has struggled to gain clear cut advantage over lagos state as both City are still very competitive in development.
When I give kudos to the architecture of modern lagos(Asiwaju) , people would complain that its the federal capital in the past, meanwhile they've had 3 governors after the capital was moved to Abuja before Asiwaju yet none of them were seen to be credible enough to be given this accolades.
God bless Asiwaju and the lagos state governors who have set up standard of development.
Also God bless Baba tunde raji fashola.

Nonsense.

Abuja is still far cleaner and more organized than Lagos.

Stargangz:
My judgement;
Liyel Imoke should be arrested asap, while the engineer should be stoned to death wherever he's sighted.

Why Imoke?

Ayade is the current useless governor.

Chelsea are fighting for relegation with this appointment. Very strange owner. Lampard is not a Premier League level manager.

BloomingDale:
King ke?? Ayam not understanding these kings with no kingdom. Always japaing to another man’s land, cos they can’t build their kingdom?

I’m just happy the real kings (Whyte men), that have built their kingdoms, don’t require this level of fuckery and foolishness.

Why did this make you so angry?

Please explain. Nobody attacked you. Nobody disparaged you. Nobody was even thinking about you.

IyaebeTheGreat:
Big men don't complain. But you see these kurukere boys ehn, their wahala is too much . This is not me supporting what she did but there's too much complains over irrelevant things

Big men don't complain but they call you ashawo behind your backs because that's what it is.

It still isn't as bad as the women who go on dates so that they can get a free meal with no good intentions towards the men.

Prosperity4All:

So who is now lying...you or me.
I said you need to get your Operations Permit then you trade freely but you called it licence.
I you talking what you have experienced or you were told.

I'm not a street trader.

But if you said a permit is required then you said the same thing - a permit is a license, a license is a permit. Nobody lied there.

Prosperity4All:


But of course that assertion is correct. Visiting countries while onboard a ship doesn't allow you experience it. It's like me saying I have visited France and Ethiopia because I transit through them frequently in my trips and spent hours there per trip. But do I know or experienced the country, definitely no.
The Op opened a thread for people to give their experience about things in countries they visited but lacking in Nigeria and he opened the floor giving examples from his experience. Jumping to say he's Capping/ lies is silly especially without giving your own on the ground experience then we can see how yours differs. Reeling out LinkedIn statistics which is skewed is never a substitute for in-person experience. Like you think all the Jobs people pick in the UK appear on the Job bank how much more LinkedIn.

In response to Op, I would say from Bénin Republic to South Africa, England (even rural parts not just London) to New York same things I experienced that lack in Nigeria are:
-Absence of Police harrasment (though in New York if you are a young person of colour driving an expensive car like mercedes, you can expect to be stopped by a Police patrol to see if you deal in drugs. But not like been slapped for not opening your phone as in dear own Nigeria)
- Constant Electricity, No Generator noise
- Traffic orderliness, no one-way driving by Police, Army and Touts who have settled police
- Ease of doing Business. You can do your street trading without harrasment just pay whatever operations permit to City council and you are good to go. There's all sorts of Street trading in Brooklyn, USA to London. But you can't try same in Nigeria without stories of occasional loss of your goods to agents of government.
-Clean environment. If Cotonou can do it, why not Port-Harcourt. Need not mention the stench of urine all-over Lagos. You need to pay N200 to use the urinary at the Oshodi BRT terminal. So now you know why you can't breathe while you walk through Oshodi.
-Security. Of course you can sleep with your two eyes closed unlike in Nigeria. That's not to say there are no pockets of crime in Jo'burg or London but crazy Kidnapping and Herdsmen, gush and you still think you have a country.
-Nightlife culture. Great for businesses, still thrives in these countries but try at your imminent risk in Nigeria. Even in Lagos besides around Ikoyi, I am not sure I would be outside beyond 11pm. But upto 2006 in Port-Harcourt 12 midnight is the earliest I would leave the bar. Nice memories from D-line to Evo. Ànd same for Abuja (Otako, Lugbe). Go try am now!

You can't just trade anywhere in London or New York. That's a lie. The problem in Nigeria is that anyone thinks that they can set up and start trading anything they want, anywhere that they want. In the aforementioned cities you need a license to be a street trader, a license to trade in the market and the areas are clearly delineated. In Nigeria someone post up outside of your home to be selling market.

Cotonou is much smaller than Lagos and thus easier to manage but you're right, it's possibly but it's a question of priorities. Nigerians put money over everything, including health and physical welfare which is why the country is the way that it is. New York is similar which is why it is so much filthier than London or even other American cities.

People said that OP is lying because of conversations some of us have had with Ivorians who are plenty in Accra. They don't paint the same rosy picture as someone who just got there.

tensazangetsu20:
LoL ivory coast. The same one I know. Continue to cap. As horrible as Nigeria is, the only African country better than Nigeria is south Africa.

I doubt OP's tales based on the number of Ivorians that I met in Accra.

I seriously doubt things are cheaper in Abidjan than Lagos based on what I've heard.

But I can believe the security situation to be better.

The other thing OP did not mention is telecommunications. I'm assuming it's worse, again based on my experiences in other parts of west Africa.

The Airlines who were bitterly competing to fly people to Saudi Arabia and Jerusalem for religious purposes are not interested in helping to save lives of Nigerians in stranded Sudan.

Religion is a destructive sham that Africans can ill afford.

Africans and their senseless tribalism.

Why are Nigerian presidents forever outside of the country?

zumbigbo:
The step children of poverty will avoid this news and be head slamming in their soakaway. It's called cognitive dissonance.

They have fed fat on lies and will not understand how an igboman will save ppl from a different tribe yet they will rather kill their own mother than to allow an igboman to transform this country.

I lol'd at "head slamming in their soakaway."

mancoconut:
Majority of the Nigerians in Sudan are Northerners and Yoruba Muslims just for context, and they are mostly students...yet none of their elites have offered any support to evacuate their people trapped there. Dangote with all this multi billions isn't even speaking up for his people.

Dangote goes into hiding whenever there is crisis in the north because he has no real power. He is a front man for vested northern interest. Nothing more than a hired hand. A clean face for dirty business.

SpartaOfLagos:

Buhari is a wicked man

I'm sure some of them are.

Kudos to them but why always Air Peace?

Did Air Peace carry them to Sudan?

The useless Alhaji that sent them there can't bring them back? Shocking.

Get power and water done right, first.

Then you need emergency services including good hospitals.

Create safe, affordable and reliable public transit. Including bike lanes.

Then you need law enforcement, reliable, honest law enforcement and a judicial system free from malfeasance.

You also need good schools and universities.

Once you have all those in place you'll realize that you don't need/want skyscrapers. Especially in the tropics, it's foolish.

90% Dubai was built using proceeds of money laundering.

London probably the same.

Much of Miami's skyline was paid for with the proceeds of the illicit drug trade.

Real estate is a great place to hide suspect funds.

malcom1X:
Women from a particular region

Women from everywhere oga.

No country, no tribe, no village is exempt.

Who carries the baby?

That is the person you need to look at. Ultimately the responsibility falls on the woman.

MrHyde:
Nigerians are schooling at Sudan? Sudan??
Is there something I am missing?

Islamic studies.

It makes more sense than the usual Nigerian nonsense where people start bothering you for money to bury their dead loved ones.
