I noticed that most Nigerians feel so much achievement upon having a family member outside the country. I have seen Nigerians proudly declare the following (just an example tough) :

1. My uncle in Canada

2. My Aunty in UK

3. My Brother in the US

4. My son in Germany

5. My cousin in South Africa

6. My husband is in the United Arab Emirates

7. My daughter in Italy

8. My brother in Malaysia

9. My nephew in India

10. My brother sister uncle daughter son in Kuwait
Etc.
I observe a pride in each of these people, and I realized that it doesn't even matter which country the family resides in, for the homers, they always feel like they won a noble prize by having a family abroad.
Some of these people have families in Indonesia, Malaysia, Israel, Libya, Kuwait, Honduras, Greece etc. And they puff with pride as if it's a life worth achievement.
Others have families in the US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, South Africa, Australia etc, which is still note worthy.

But the Question is; why do most Nigerians count having a family abroad as a big achievement, and even make mockery of their fellow Nigerians who do not have a family member abroad. Or those who refuse to mention that they have families abroad?

Is it a Nigerian thing to behave like that, or is it a global thing, do other countries nationals behave like that?

Your opinion is the back bone of this thread. Thank you.

That is for people from "humble background" ie poor families. So when they have a person that gets out of the country to the "abroad", it is seen as a huge progress and way out of poverty for the family.

Nitori Oloun! These people again? Please, if you’re not tired - I am tired on your behalf.

Just imagine the level of damage these primitive monkeys have done to the image of Nigeria since the 70’s?

They shout the loudest, yet they’re 20Million times worse than Fulani that they love to blame for their vacuousness & woes.

Please, let us give these bastards their “BIAFLA” so that everybody can rest.

Lolz, na only my blodas you see their names there?

N3TRAL:
The police officer should be fired for cowardice and negligence that are incompatible with the profession of a security agent.

It's unethical for the police officer not to empty the entire magazine of his rifle into the belly of the he-goat wearing a white t-shirt.

This shameful scene can never be recorded anywhere in the United States apart from Hollywood. Police officers there have fatally shot tens of thousands of suspects for simply puting their hands in their pockets when they were told to place them behind their heads.

Nigerian Police have the responsibility of teaching their officers to riddle the bodies of such deviants with bullets and leave them on the highway for vultures to feed on. Only then can we have an orderly society.

Crap, when did the American police start mounting checkpoints and extorting or begging for money like the Nigeria police does? Or asking for people's phones? Like the ones that stopped us under medical road Bridge yesterday close to LASUT and the cps office. Directed us to stop and park well. A whole family in the car. Only for this elderly police man to announce that it was a security stop, the in full view of my teen kid says it is a weekend and we should give them money! Shamelessly! Trust me, one kobo he did not get.
Never compare Nigeria police to the US. Naija police have brought disrespect to themselves.

toxtimmy:
Did the police man threaten to shoot him before he grabbed the gun?... police in nigerian does that everyday.

Abi, if police threatens to shoot him, should he not hold the gun to avoid being shot?

Me sef, leaving LHR early this month. I pass scanner, na so e bip. They send me back make I pass am again. E just de beep. Haba l, watin de happen? If I Wan carry eru, na from that side to naija? E no make sense naa. Meanwhile I don commot shoe, phones etc put inside their basket for scanning.
Next thing like play like play, the lady call one short man make him come. The man say make I pass machine, machine cry again! The man bring hand held scanner scan my body, next thing him ask if him fit search me. I say go ahead. Him rub hand for my body no see anything. Next him commit something from a machine weh resemble photocoper, then rubbed it on my hands and inserted it into the machine. It seemed to be a digital analyzer. I stretched head to look at the screen to see the abracadabra. It showed green. That was how they let me go. Meanwhile madam de one corner de look say waitin him bad boy hubby don do again.
Anybody that carries drugs these days with all the tech available to detect must be stupid or ignorant.

Nyamuri:

Oyira:

You need to travel from Calabar to Eket on speed boat.


E sweet....

Must be exciting.

Wow. Quite educative.

BOOOMNAIJA:
In sane climes, this case would be taken up by the federal government of d country.

Vote Peter Obi 2023 for good governance.

No be police de handle the matter?

Mufakirnaqdiun:
Mtcheww, come be like say these bandits no dey finish..
Conduct a mass operation,and code name it "operation whiskey alpha tango"
Bomb all of them to Oblivion,go after them,possess their hideout,burn everything down,comb every forest and shoot them on sight,no mercy,no space for surrendering,cut their limbs,decapacitate them,force then to eat pork meat,burn them and scrape their skin off.

Do this for 3-6 months if possible,and see some changes.

We pray thay will be done, and done well. Kudos to the military, but alas turiji seems to be Fulani. If you know you know. Senior man tins.

We warn them then, we are warning them again.
Let's try something different.

Fantastic!!

blaquebelle:
Is he really Nigerian? Some foreign names sound Nigerian, like Adelaide, an Australian name. I don't think Adeshine has meaning in yoruba. For the name checkers above, rest.

Dont stress yourself.
It is adesina.

Anigreat:


Your agbadorian writing skills is top notch, I envy you. But stop crying.

Lolz, free that guy, I no go follow you write statement if him go drink sniper ohh

anonymous1759:
They can use Pump action ordinary vigilante have One . I feel the Governor is not spending enough .

Ha, pump action vs Ak 47 is a suicide mission. It like using cutlery table knife to fight someone holding a samurai sword or matchet.
The threat they face is there is from Ak armed Fulani. Don't bother wasting cash on pump action.

longetivity:
This one go dey rule from Dubai if he mistakenly becomes the President

Abi..
But truth of the matter, if one reaches a stage where you are comfortable or have the means to run your business remotely, the best thing is to leave this hell hole, stay in a stable country like Dubai, UK, Qatar etc. Walai it is the best thing to do. I have met recently people that have done that.
Nna, you cannot blame Atiku.

True true, it operates like a revenue court. I have appeared before them once when they removed all the number plates of cars parked in from of my office. I went with a paddy of mine, a lawyer who knew the system as he worked with gov. He just told me to plead guilty, get the fine and pay, that challenging it will waste my time.
So I plead guilty, the magistrate nacked me 10k fine. I sent my driver to pay, I think it was an "alfa betta akkant".
Got my vehicle back.
I think this op is a lawyer and should challenge it in court if he feels lsgv is overstepping their boundaries.

festacman:
No problems but LASG should erect traffic signs boldly and clearly all over Lagos. Replace them when some unscrupulous police officers deliberately remove them to extort from innocent citizens. The idea should be to achieve road safety rather than to punish.

I believe the ruthless auction at this critical political time is a bold move. I hope motorists would learn from it and drive properly against every temptations to break the traffic laws. Believe me, the temptation can be strong sometimes due various reasons such as time management issues, condition of vehicle, bad roads, etc

Yes, but some people just drive anyhow just to show they are smart, wiser, faster than other road users. Like my paddy will boast of his driving calling it "sucide", driving. Not until the day he drove against traffic and they took his car. My gûy vertually before his korokoro eyes saw his car vanishing. He had to call one of our army General paddies that helped him plead. Despite that he still had to pay a handsome fine.
Baba almost saw his car seized.
Omo, that guy still does his suicide driving, but as per one way? Him go de shake for body.
Such moves will cause a shock and caution some drivers, but the stubborn ones will still continue and will have their vehicles auctioned.
My only sorry is for vehicle owners that send their drivers on errands with their cars.

anonymous1759:
Every village should have its own vigilante, encircling the village in four square. Every village should also have an emergency Alarm that will be rang during attacks all these things will deter those animals. And every money disbursed should be monitored.

Truely a good idea. But I think that is being done.
What I thought what you were going to alledge he has not done is to provide proper arms such as Ak 47, which he obviously cannot get without express approval from the heardsman in Abuja.
Without the vigilantes having Ak 47s all is a waste. Blow all the emergency alam and it will be of no use.
I think the man is helpless for now. Not much he can do without arms.

anonymous1759:
Funny Governor a failure will always find a way to cut corners for not taking blames. Instead of you to use your security vote and IGR to empower your internal security you’re doing nonsense before your case file will be opened at ICC people in Benue might have finished .

Suggest how he should use his security votes to empower them more than he has, as he has bought hundreds of vehicles, set up a paramilitary force, provided comminication etc.
What else should he do? Kindly suggest.

We all have pitiable stories when caught for bad behavior. Those pitiable issues are things we ought to put in our minds that there will be consequences when contemplating driving against traffic, following brt lanes, driving like mad people etc.
Oga, carry your cross, nobody will help you buy back a bus that tomorrow when the "spirit" enters you, you will drive one way as if demons are after you.

Acidosis:
Congratulations y'all!



Meanwhile, where is Lai Muhammed??

Conferring with the elders on the mountain for 7 days and 7 night, seeking devine blessing for the new avalanche of lies to be unleashed on poor Nigerians.

Tinubu is smart, but this man is both smart and deadly, known to be highly ambitious, ruthless.
Well, every "jugunu" always has his nemesis.

PeachtreeReside:
She said they did not follow laid down procedures and here you are all asking if they are Nigerians.


Let us learn to subject ourselves to laws, order, orderliness as well as good conduct.

We keep shaming ourselves with our bad behaviour and do not realise how a pariah status hurts us.

In Nigerian terms"laid down rules" is very very vague. In short is means heavy bureaucracy. Can you go to passport office and follow laid down rules? 2 years you wount have smelt your passport!
I gov should quickly abandon all these their procedure and bundle those undesirables out of uae before they cause more damage to the already yeye image of Nigerians. Their passport should be canceled on arrival in Naija and their names blacklisted from further travel.

omoredia:
Buhari is just useless

Not just buhari but apc and its oga. Some want to bring in another faaji loving 2 private jet riding fellow whoes only known source of wealth is obtaining, extorting citizens, running a mafia style organization. One who as a king feels all his subjects need to be contended is to be feed basic farm produce. One that has so much greed, he infused a pension for life for himself despite having fed fat to the extent of being a trillionaire.
Anyway, it seems Nigerians are cursed to suffer.
Meanwhile Angola currency according to arise news is almost at par with the dollar, to the extent countries are opening their boarders to them due to the new huge purchasing power brought in by the recent oil windfall.
Only naija is not benefiting as an oil producer

samtinx:
work no dey, country hard and yet somehow I suffer buy my car, you dey auction for peanut price because I break law

Them go auction am sharp sharp. Infact I don attend the auction before. Police de there plenty. You go de look your car yet no go fit touch am. Even to open door you no fit. Na so buyers de drive off with persin moto.
Best bet is not to break the traffic laws if not, wahala.

proff010:
See thrash. Your state money how was it spend between 99 to 07.shebi you are enjoying lagos like your Pandora obituary who left his state to live in our lagos. Those twins will forever grateful to Asiwaju.

Oga you own no state. You buy land like any other person. Infact Tinubu will rather sell to the igbo that will pay more than you. Abi have you seen someone that will say because you are his Yoruba bloda he will take half price from you?
The most is to become omo onile and be taxing people constructing up and down.

lhordspy:
The same way Aiswaju saves all ipigs terrorists lives, who usually sneak into Lagos in masses during the Night.

He accomodate them, allow the homeless ones sells gala in traffic, allow the illiterates ones sell spare part in ladipo, even employ some of the learned one in Lagos state political cabinet.

Saying asiwaju hasnt done anything for you flat headed zombidients is nothing but an absolutely BLASPHEMY . Repent now!

please do not bite the finger that feeds you.

You must be kidding.
Who accommodated who? Maybe it is you and your puppies Tinubu is accommodating in bourdillion.

Abeg, let them collect their share of national cake.
Zack orji, I cannot fault you. Country hard.

The nd was peaceful when he came in, he even contemplated cancelling the amnesty program.
They then made things worse by chasing Tompolo into hiding because of his support for PDP.
Naturally this destroyed the security arrangement in the creeks crashing our oil production to less than 1m barrels per day.
After 7 years they have seen their folly and going back to kiss Tompolo ass.
Nigeria is the only oil producing company to smiling to the bank.

It seems people the call Harry usually behave "onekine".
This one has let totex finish him.
