She is in Nigeria. What that naira can buy in Nigeria, 4000 dollars can't buy the same things in US. You claim to have left, enjoy your dollars as we are enjoying our naira.

eepeepook:
I came to this conclusion long ago. My children will not suffer “up NEPA” like I did. If I don’t make the money before then, nothing will concern me with childbirth.

pongwa:
that is a question we all have to figure out o

the best legacy you can give them is a safe Nigeria

You see, your hatred for Igbos will also be your undoing and it will happen very soon. No one is asking other ethnic groups to join Igbos in Biafra. They are free to remain in Nigeria or seek a separate union for themselves. Those we include in Biafra is because we feel we have a historical connection with them. If they don't care about the connection or totally reject it, it will still be to our advantage in the long run.
Let me just compare the antecedents of Igbos and Fulanis in Nigeria for others to read and draw their conclusions.
1. Igbos are indigenous to the Nigerian territory and as a matter of fact appears to possess the oldest settlements. We've lived cordially with all the various minority ethnic groups around us and have heavily intermarried with them. The fulanis on the other hand aren't indigenous to the Nigerian territory and have never lived cordially with all other ethnic groups ever since they entered Nigeria. There's nothing called Fulani land in Nigeria yet they have kings all over because they kill off the indigenous kings and ascend the thrones of those people who welcomed them. The Hausas, Nupes, Adamawas, Yorubas of Ilorin, Tarabas, Gombe etc all have fulani kings after their own kings were killed and replaced by fulanis.

2. Though fighting may occur between two ethnic groups, the Igbos didn't enslave or sell the minorities around them. Igbos still lived with all of them after border clashes and continue to do business with them as equals. Many ethnic groups found refuge in Igboland back in the days when their enemies are in pursuit of them. On the otherhand, the fulanis enslaved and sold a lot of those minority ethnic groups. They used to raid them specifically for selling them either to the Arabs in North Africa or towards the Atlantic Sea to other slave traders. Fulanis depopulated the middlebelt of Nigeria through raiding and enslavement. There are books that explain this very well. Even Yoruba settlements in Kwara, Osun and Kogi fell victim of the fulani raids and slave traders. Many Yorubas that were sold off as slaves in the transatlantic slave trade were victims of Fulani enslavement. Bishop Ajayi Crowther was one of their victims.
Which ethnic group in Nigeria today can say they were once enslaved and sold off by Igbos at anytime in history? Not even one.

3. Igbos have been an enterprising people right from centuries ago and we transversed the lands of all the minorities around us catering for their various needs which includes food, medicine, religious and spiritual solutions to problems, metallic items for traditional and religious uses, cloths etc. We equally bought from them items they produced which helped their economies. What about the Fulanis? How have they related with other ethnicities that welcomed them? Do you know the Kanuris chased them away from Kanuri territory back in the days? They Kanuris saw through them and learnt quickly what had happened to the Hausa and therefore, chased them away. It was thereafter that the fulanis attacked the Adamawa territory killing, raping and enslaving the smaller ethnic groups living there. They thereafter took the lands from the indigenous people. Whatever you see they are doing today has been what they were doing back in the days... nothing has changed.

Tranquil, are these the people you want to compare to Igbos? Are these the people that are better than Igbos? Let readers judge for themselves.
Like I wrote before, any ethnic group who was included in Biafra but doesn't want it is free to opt out.
Meanwhile, the fulanis will continue to kill them and take over there lands. Life goes on.

Some of you may be right if you believe the reason you cannot do well in Nigeria is because you are a second class citizen.

As a second class, even not a member of privileged class, you will miss your village when you realize you belong to the LAST class.

I agree that money and food means a lot. But how good is that money and food you cannot enjoy? If you think looking down on you despite your classy house and cars is fun, ask yourself how sweet it is as an African that brags because your children, families and friends, at least give you respect as a man in Africa

Compared to a place where they look down on you despite your clean hardwork for your success. Even when you become the head of the dog catcher with all your degrees, watch your back constantly because many cannot wait to replace you with less qualifications. Wondering how you got the leadership position in the first place.

No need to talk about lost children, wife and dear culture you would come to appreciate in Africa when it is too late. I pity those who japa after age 30 more.

Even untouchables have more pride in Africa with success. But desperation in Africa, turns hell into paradise abroad. Goodluck!

RodgersAkpafu:
as someone who used to earn way over ten times minimum wage before moving to the UK, I ha e lived both sides and I'll tell u that quality of life wise, especially as a single person, even 13 times naija minimum wage cannot match £12 quid an hour earner in the UK, especially if you are not living in London

Forget it
being able to buy sharwarma and suya for girls, flexing over the weekend and fooling yourself in shop rite no be quality of life lemme not lie you

Not hearing generators noise alone sef
noise pollution
safety concerns
envious people around you
the list is endless abeg

RaptorX:
90% of Nigerian men married or single living abroad visit Nigeria primarily for sex, any other reasons are secondary.

1Sharon:
Emotional blackmailing nonsense sentiment.


You forget your ID due to an oversight on your part and want to make your wife bear the brunt with you?

You have pull him down syndrome!


You knew the distance was far and the requirements, yet forgot your ID. That's irresponsibility on your part. Don't put that on your wife.

Oga, carry your cross. Pay for your sins. Let them enjoy the party. You wait in the car park or do whatever.

awoxalat:
I need a list of affordable universities in Australia for Masters

MrBrownJay1:
- what type of party is it?
- if its a children party then why cant the father wait outiside?
- cant they drive back home to get daddy's ID?
- if they live far away, cant they just all go back home and forget about this party (or is the party "that" important to attend)?

StOla:
Nigerians love to abuse the undeserved privileges that an irresponsible government have allowed over the years.

Imagine him saying we should start buying dollars now?

As in how now in a responsible country?

Na commodity abi na service?

Notfogotten:
You will understand in 4 weeks time from now.

Your vision less government is borrowing to support your currency.

Good businessmen and your politicians are already mopping available USD.

Naira will hit all time low weeks from now. It has already started.
