Chai, see evidence.. Somehow GEJ and his people will still lie in our faces about this evidence like we are stupid.. Next thing now, they'll say the video was made up.. I don't know if they think the nigerian public consists of fools..

TravelRe: How Long Have You Lived In Diaspora & When Are You Returning Home? by obi2012: 4:31am On May 26, 2013
there are so many misconceptions in this thread...

first of all.. not every nigerian that lives abroad works menial jobs.. there are many of us that are professionals that have been making six figures for a while so its not like people are suffering here.. Besides there are menial jobs that pay good money..

secondly, lets face it, its hard to get ahead in nigeria unless you have connections, the employment opportunities in nigeria are limited.. the unemployment in america has a lot to do with people being too big to try certain jobs or their ego not letting them take certain jobs.. if you want to feed yourself and have a roof over your head in the US, you will be provided that opportunity.. Lastly if all else fails, there is always social welfare..

thirdly, the part about americans not having money is not generally true.. the thing that kills us is most people overstretch themselves or want the latest thing at that very moment and end up getting into debt for it.. I know a nigerian nurse that earns only $80k a year, took a $600,000 mortgage on a 6 bedroom house and bought two flashy cars in a two year period.. Now she can barely sleep because she is working so much overtime to pay for these things and keep up the image she has portrayed.. Mind you she is single.. She makes decent money for someone thats single with no one to support but if she had cut her coat according to her size, gotten a smaller house, she'd have more disposable income.

America is very ok if you plan to cut your coat according to your size.. Lets face it, majority of this thread would relocate to the states and britain if given the chance.. In 1997, my pastor used to preach against the church members that relocated abroad saying they were abandoning their destiny.. His tune changed when he won visa lottery in 1999 and relocated his whole family..

For the most part, a lot of the amenities we take for granted in america (healthcare, steady internet, steady power, clean water, good roads, ambulances, fire service) are luxuries in nigeria and are not accessible to 90% of the population and please dont compare security in the US or britain to nigeria.. We know the reality.. Can you drive your bentley on third mainland bridge at 3am? Can you get treated at a hospital with no money and get billed later? Can you secure a 3 percent loan to finance your business with no contacts or collateral? America is one of the few places where a janitor, a security man or a trashman can successfully feed his family, own a home and raise his kids with no problems if he cuts his coat according to his size? It is also one of the places where if you dont mind getting dirty, you could still make money.. A plumber, an electrician and a trashman all make close to $100k a year.. So if school is not your thing, there are other ways to make it.

Someone said nigerians in diaspora are always posting on NL so they must be jobless. Sir, if you had steady internet and power, you would be posting frequently too grin

Obviously, i love my country, i love my motherland, there is no place like home.. There are massive opportunities if you have the right contacts, you could be stinkingly rich but there are still basic amenities that are lacking that even money cant fix.. So please lets not get carried away and start comparing nigeria to the US.. Everyones destiny doesn't have to be in their motherland, lets all do the little we can from where we are..

15 years and counting... Came here after secondary schools and thanks to God blessing my parents, i went to university here and got my masters here with no student loans.. my 3 siblings also did the same thing too.. We are all based here and our parents are now american citizens so they can come and visit us as much as they want now they are retired..

We are all established here and all our careers are going well here so it would be tough to try and go back home to start over again with no connections.. Having no family ties back home also makes it tough to relocate.. We all still visit from time to time so the fact that we dont relocate has nothing to do with us being comfortable or not..
TravelRe: How Long Have You Lived In Diaspora & When Are You Returning Home? by obi2012: 5:39pm On May 25, 2013
there are numerous nigerian doctors and pharmacists in the US.. The average pharmacist earn $130k a year without overtime, the average doctor earns $220k a year, thats N20 million and N30 million respectively.. They are definitely comfortable.. Everyone's case is different, for some people, it makes sense to relocate, for some people, it doesn't.. If a US trained doctor is to relocate to nigeria, they have to retake all their exams and probably take a pay cut down to about N4 million a year so it might not be worth it for them..

Billyonaire: Most Definitely true, People live abroad for 2 reasons its either you are on top of the hustle chain, working real hard for retirement funds or you are broke. The moment a Nigerian gets comfortable, he heads home. I repeat, No Comfortable Nigerian lives abroad. I want someone to prove me wrong.

RomanceRe: What Are The Reasons For High Level Of 30 Years+ Single Ladies In Nigeria? by obi2012: 7:41pm On May 17, 2013
Most intelligent post i have read

Colin Adua: Hello! Please Nigerian 30+ sweet, fully matured, full grown women. Don't let all these rubbish that these guys are posting here sway you to settle for someone you don't like or rush into marriage. Marriage no be achievement o. IT IS YOUR LIFE OOO, NOBODY SHOULD LIVE IT FOR YOU.

Some even said, they will never marry a 30+ woman. Leave them, one day they'll walk behind a 30+ woman, fully matured with all the right curves in the right places, shaking the 'shakeables' and rolling the 'rollables', they will change their minds by force. Ha ha ha ha !

Its not funny. If you must marry, please shine your eyes well well and settle for a guy you really love his way of life and his character not a guy you love. Because there is a thin line between love and hate, if your hubby slaps you two times, love will fly out through the window.

DONT SACRIFICE YOUR HAPPINESS ON THE ALTAR OF SOCIETAL FITNESS/CONFORMITY. There are pretty more to life than marriage. Marriage is good, but it shouldn't shape your life, instead you should shape it. Men has bastardized marriage with their selfishness, quest for control, instead of love, as God commanded them(Colossians 3:19) and uncanny craze of living a single like irresponsible lives while married. Am not saying all men are maritally horrible, but many, are.

Am not saying there are no bad women, either. Yes! There are! But they are very few compared to the number of irresponsible, maladjusted, foolish, weak, lazy, selfish, domineering and stingy men all over. AM A MAN I KNOW FULLY WELL WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT. The worst combination is a man who is lazy, talkative, foolish, weak, selfish, stingy and domineering.

Looking at many marriages, a lot of guys shouldn't come close to marriage talkless of getting married. IT BEGINS WITH US MEN. A HAPPY WOMAN MAKES A HAPPY MARRIAGE. What efforts are men making, every day to love their wives as God commanded, and make them happy? Instead all they treasure is to command them around like zombie. A married man should be fully aware of his new status and what is involed, making all necessary adjustment required to make it a success.

Men are making marriages seriously unattractive these days to ladies. Many guys call their wives "mama this and mama that", even "this woman", but they go outside and call far older, far uglier, STD prone strange women "baby".

I pity women! Imagine a guy that kicks an 8 month pregnant woman on the baby bump. Imagine, a lot of guys I have met believes in beating their wives. Imagine a man pestering his wife that just put to bed six weeks before for sex, even going as far as tearing her cloths, because she hesitated. Is it not insanity! A lot of guys hardly smile at home, with their wives and children.

Imagine, guys love to get MouthAction from their wives but over their dead bodies they can never give it back. Guys love their wives to wash their dirty boxers, but how many of them can wash their wives sexy g-strings? How many married guys have you seen out there lovingly holding their wive's hand in the public? Imagine, a guy shouting down on the wife, calling her lazy and wasteful when she requests for a washing machine of around N32,000, but has N1,000 to spend every evening on beer. 31 x 1,000 is it not N31,000 a month?

Men have really lost love, compassion, appreciation for their sweet beautiful partners. And now they are looking for more to rope down with doom. Run as fast as your legs can carry you.

FOR MY FELLOW MEN; LEARN HOW TO LOVE, CARE, APPRECIATE THE WOMEN THAT ARE ALREADY MARRIED TO YOU BEFORE, BLAMING THOSE THAT ARE YET TO MARRY, WHO ARE TAKING TIME TO SELECT THE BEST, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW YOU SEE IT, IT BEGINS WITH US. AM A GUY, 35, very single and loving it, NOT EVEN SURE WHETHER I WILL MARRY. LEFT FOR ME. I DONT WISH TO.

But if I eventually marry, am going for a woman I like her way of life, ie believes and character. I don't care about beauty (experience has shown me that less pretty women are very good, loving, nurturing and they give birth to healthy beautiful babies). I have decided to 'worship' the ground she walks on. I will go any length to make her happy. Imagine leaving her father's house were she grew up, to relocate to a strange crib (yes, many guys dont even have a decent accommodation and they are talking about marriage) only to be treated like a slave. Everybody say GOD FORBID. YES!

Guys before you think about marriage, make sure you have a decent abode. God that placed Adam in a decent garden before giving him Eve, and commanded us to build our house (Proverbs 24 : 27) before marriage, is not stupid. IT IS A PITY MOST PEOPLE DONT CARE ABOUT HOW GOD WANT THINGS DONE.

PoliticsRe: Infrastructure Bank To Fund N400bn Lagos Rail Project by obi2012: 6:23am On May 03, 2013
dude, u are an e-diot

Sincere 9gerian: Very shameful indeed. 14yrs after ACN rule and 6yrs of emperor Fashola's reign they'r still looking for FUNDS to complete the Lagos light rail project. Very very shameful. What have they been doing since 1999? And to now imagine that the same project would have been completed in the 80s by Jakande (God bless him)?

Meanwhile, the GEJ they so much hate has achieved the following in the rail transport sector in just under 3yrs:

The Lagos-Kano rail has been COMPLETED and commissioned. The govt spent a whopping N24billion to rehabilitate and restore the Lagos-Kano narrow guage rail line after decades of dilapidation.
http://www.nanngronline.com/section/general/fg-spends-n243bn-on-rehabilitation-of-railway-track-md

The line has been operating since December last year and is always filled to the brim
https://www.nairaland.com/1226729/train-ride-lagos-kano-live

Other massive interventions in the rail sector include:

**Inter-city passenger train services have been introduced in Minna-Kaduna route, Kaduna-Kano route and Kano-Nguru route; while intra-city services are already operational in Lagos, Kaduna and Kano states.

The Minna-Kaduna route for instance generates about N500,000 per trip up from initial N14,000 per trip when train services started along that route about a year ago.
http://premiumtimesng.com/news/116884-nigeria-railway-generates-n500-000-per-trip-on-minna-kaduna-route.html

**Abuja-Kaduna fast rail line now at 50% completion.

**mass transit Abuja Light Rail system is expected to be completed in 2014

**The Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri rail line (fast line) was recently COMPLETED.

**Port-Harcourt-Enugu-Makurdi-Lafia-Jos-Gombe-Maiduguri rail-line is expected to be completed late 2013.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/1000-commuters-move-by-train-to-ilorin/

While all these are happening the clueless Lagos gangs are still searching for N400billion from the private sector to complete the Lagos light rail project. Very very shameful

cant believe this height of ignorance goes on in the 21st century..

there is nothing wrong being left handed.. i am left handed and have been for 31 years and uncles/aunties and everyone have tried to correct me when my parents weren't around. No luck.

Glad i am left handed.. I do pretty well in everything i do.. Left handers think with the right side of their brain, right handers think with the left side of their brain. Its not a defect.. Its nature

Ebestsms.com:
Am shocked with the replies posted here.

I will NEVER allow any of my children to use left hand, you can compare left hand with right, right is always stronger than left according to those.

Mehn I will NEVER allow such, things normally fall from lefty dudes hands.

I dislike lefty with passion, in fact I don't employ a lefty in my office.
