If a list of the 1,000,000 richest Nigerians worldwide were drawn, I can swear that only 0.5% of them will be based abroad and they will include the likes of Deinde Fernandez e.t.c not your type.
How many Nigerians based abroad get national honours from the FG?
Pastor Adeboye based in Nigeria made the list of the 50 most influential people worldwide. Are there no Nigerian preachers abroad?
Genevieve was interviewed by CNN in appreciation of her success as an actress based in Nigeria. I guess this wouldnt have happened if she were based abroad.
What of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe e.t.c Are they not home based? Have they not won international awards? How many Nigerians based abroad have achieved such feats?
Lest I forget why do all our retired professional footballers like Kanu, JJ Oliseh keep coming back home immediately after retirement.
Wake up guys!!! Don't lose your destiny.
A lizard in Nigeria wont become a crocodile abroad. There is money on the ground in Nigeria, many are just too blind they cant see it not to talk of picking it. Thank God I've seen it and started picking already.

least in naija, you can still talk like a real man to the popo without fearing that you will be looked on as being insubordinate.

I think you have been away for too long.

Ask around what happens to people who talk to popo without fearing. Her crime was not moving the car out of the waywhen an Admiral is coming.

See example in the story below

On the third of november 2008 on Muhri Okunola Street, victoria Island Lagos, the traffic was chaotic. A young lady (Uzoma Okere) driving home from work didn't move her vehicle out of the way of a millitary convoy on time, resulting severe beatings by armed Nigerian Navy men.

She is lucky to be 1) Female 2) Daughter of a top Military man 3) Happened in broad daylight.

Police ask you for ordinary receipt when you carry electronics in naija, not to talk of human head, Lol pls this is too funny
really ? maybe this is a new development in nigeria. but still, you can still bribe them if you do not have a receipt. the bottomline is that their is always a way out of your palava with nigerian police. it is called the cashola. thats always a reassuring thought. in yanks ? no way. i have been used and abused by white popo in america. its not even funny. i spoke to the popo the way i normally speak cuz i was tired of pretending to be a black slave. the guy threw me at the back of a police car and took me to a police cell. locked me in there for 3 hours. i only got released after the boss came in and asked them why i was in the cell. then when the guy explained why, the boss said they should let me go. no paperwork, no explanation, nothing. just like that. human right ? haaa

dayokanu:

Nigeria is not supposed to be one country bla bla bla. Are we not all the same black skinned people?

We are all one people - with the same skin shade but that doesnt necessarily mean that we have similar cultures and values, i used europe as an example for you, the europeans fought two of the bloodiest wars in history and yet im still waiting to hear you condemn them for their inter ethnic rivalry - why is that?  are you aware that the europeans slaughtered so many of their own people that it affected their economic development?  do you know this is one of the reasons why britain had to go to the carribean to recruit workers?  All these things are in the history books but you refuse to read them, instead you focus on bogus information about how africans are killing each other,what is wrong with you?

But we choose to single out a white skinned man as the cause of our problems when we do far worse things to one another.

here you go again fighting on behalf of your master, if you read your history you will find out that the white race are the architects of world wide exploitation, do the reseach bro.

Its obvious you are ignorant of happenings in Nigeria. How many times have Hausas been pointedly told to their face that they are intellectually inferior to Yorubas or Igbos? Are they under Jim Crow too.

but that is based on what obtained at independence, at that time the hausa fulani did not want the british to leave nigeria and were quite happy to remain in a subservient position with the british as rulers, we the southerners on the other hand did not want that type of arrangement.  Zik, Awo and Enahoro among others were the main agitators for our independence.  Is it not factual therefore to say that southerners were intellectually more advanced than northerners at that particular point in time?

How does Chima feel human when he has all the qualifications yet in his country he was pointedly told if he cant speak Hausa, Nothing for him

Chima can still walk into any establishment in abuja, kano, kaduna or maiduguri and be treated like a human being and not like some riff raff off the street.  Yes he will probably struggle to get a job in any of the govt institutions in those cities but he will never be treated as if he is inferior by any of the indigenous people in those places.

Are you aware that Hausas are told daily in Nigeria that they are intellectually inferior to Southerners?

Yes, but thats based on what obtained in nigeria following nigeria's independence in 1960, i think a lot of the northerners have managed to close that gap as a result of the  quota system.

Ask yourself who is having the complex, A man who looks inward for solutions or someone who chooses to blame White people for me having 20 babies I cant take care of.

Rubbish, who told you i dont look inward, looking inward is only part of the solution, does society at large not have anything to answer for? If you live in a system which deliberately fails people from a particular segment of society no amount of inward analysis can change things.

Were you not the one who claimed Planned Parenthood is a way of reducing black population? How dumb can one get. Someone told you, That have the number of kids you can cater for yet In your warped mind you choose to believe he wants to reduce your population,


Yes i did and i stand by that - you dont have to agree with me.  If you think im off my rocker why not try researching the history of Planned Parenthood and see what you come  up with.

How are you different from the People who believe Polio vaccination is a way to make Hausa men infertile?

actually i beleive that the polio vaccination was used surreptiously by the world health organisation to infect millions of africans with the HIV aids virus so perhaps im even more crazy than the so called infertile hausa men - by the way i belevie that there may be a lot of truth in their claim - population control is a covert agenda of the europeans against africans - try reading National Security Memo 200 - a memo drafted by america's former national security advisor - henry kissinger and perhaps you will begin to understand these people's agenda towards the black race.

[size=22pt]Face it, Nigeria has regressed! [/size]
Yep I extremely regret moving abroad lol!

Let’s face it, the bulk of the Nigerian populace have ‘special needs’. I mean it’s the simple things in life that matter.

I really miss the professional incompetence and misconduct.
I really miss the fantastic healthcare, people dying from basic medical operation procedures such as ingrown toe nails.
I really miss the self imposed curfew in parts of Lagos, when it starts getting dark.
I really miss being able to do something simple like being able to go for a walk on a pavement without being hit by an okada or falling into a gutter.
I really miss dealing with the non-warranted and illegal stop-search-n-bribe Police molestations.
I really miss the acrylic smell of the open gutter/sewage systems
I really miss the oppression and servitude of the lower classes/poor
I really miss the self imposed inferiority complex, that makes any non black nationality an Oyinbo and hence Indian’s, Chinese, Lebanese etc are all superior Oyinbo’s.
I really miss not having currency parity between the USD $ and NGN Naira – work my ass off  for peanuts like I’m a chimp – but then again I wouldn’t have to do this, it would be easier to embezzle funds and toe the line. Thank God for SAP
I really miss my rule abiding fellow country citizens.
I finally really miss all the vultures that aim to strip me bare at Muritala Mohammed Airport, always seeking to enquire “whether you have something for me”.

What a pitiful existence.

Yes I would have liked to stay, but I would cut off my right hand to be able to roll back Nigeria to 1980, when the standard of living was very high and our credibility as Nigerians was revered as professionals, and we were recognised as a Developing Country as opposed to Third World.

I agree with you except that in Naija Oyinbo = Foreign not white so any foreign thing na Oyinbo. Some people dey call black Americans Oyinbo too. The things signifies foreign and not neccesarily "white" like people use in abroad (technically Lebanese are "whites" too but thats another matter

At least in Rodney King's case he successfully sued the LAPD and received millions in compensation for that arse whupping he received -  in your own case you will simply knuckle under and take the beating fearing that the immigration authorities might find out that you are an illegal alien who managed to slip through the net for all these years, idi.ot.
