It’s not MY plight but rather it’s OUR plight.

What’s the point of everyone doing japa to voluntarily make Arab and oyinbo countries better while ours become depleted and worse like this thread portrays?

Do what's for you 👍 okay

OkanlawonB:
Cancer patients are dying abroad too, besides forget Turkey in handlying your medical issue as a black man, they don`t really know our

biological system as we do ourselves. Turkey`s cheap cosmetic surgery has a bad reputation internationally,

There you go again... nigerians always arguing stuffs instead of applying common sense in handling stuffs.

Now, the common sense is, why didnt he use nigeria cosmetic surgeons who are way cheaper than Turkey, for a useless surgery not important ?
Why not apply same to use oversea medicals which are way better than Nigerian for a serious situation as his mom's health?

Are you oversea to actually know the situation with regards to cancer treatment, management and fatality, compared to nigeria?
The common sense is, his mom needs abroad hospital more than him.

If 200 million of us can’t japa, then what do we do

I understand your plight, 98 percents of Nigerians are idiots without common sense.
Any bright young man should just plan japa right from once they are 11 years.
Anyways,
Work so hard to make money then, if you cant japa

When people tell you reasons you shouldn't Japa, show them this.
Life is meaningless and valueless in that freaking zoo.

This guy is an idiot. You kuku carry yourself go Turkey for a vain surgery not needed, but chose to put your mama in that zoogeria hospital, even when she needs the abroad hospital more.
Sad reality of life.
I rather borrow money, go broke when it comes to life of people I love

A little back story.

Due to some ugly circumstances, i dropped out of school in 2019 and I've been at home since then, periodically picking up one or two low paying jobs. 2 years ago, I decided to learning a tech skill. I taught myself C++ programming language and I'm currently teaching myself mathematics aggressively, studying for min of 8 hours daily.

For the past two years, I've mostly always been in my room, I can be in our house for more than two weeks, without stepping a foot out of our door due to how engrossed in studying I always am. My goal is to learn C++, DSA , And Math to an undergraduate level then use my skills to apply for scholarships to study abroad, and probably work in a hedge fund company as a quantitative trader in the future. For those who know what leetcode is, i can currently solve most leetcode (hard) problems in less than 40 minutes.

Now, I'll be 24 in August, and my dad is worried that I'm wasting my life away because I've refused to pickup any real job or learn a trade, his worried that I'm already getting old, always reminding me that people my age are already getting married. Now he wants me to leave his house to go look for my own place to stay, and has offered me 7 million naira to go start life else where.

Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.

Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision

I will tell you from experience.
If your plans are learning coding and moving abroad, you are on the right track, don't distract yourself. Focus and let your dad know about it. Work your ass off to get that. You won't regret it.
I am the last of the boys, got out of school and never wanted to join my other 2 big brothers in business because I have always wanted to move oversea.
It took me years, I was seen as a failure and lazy. My mates were way ahead of me back then. It was hard. But today, tables have changed. I moved to the US, now the breadwinner for the entire family.
None of those people who saw me as failure can come close to my success

God1000:
From Benue to plateau, Nigerians continue to die everyday and the government of Tinubu has turned a deaf ear to the suffering of our people.

As I type this, Tinubu is currently in France enjoying himself, he's not even bothered at all

It's either the president is heartless or he's afraid that going after the herdsmen will cost him his re-election in the north come 2027, but a good leader puts the interest and safety of his people above personal interest

He was so quick to declare state of emergency in Rivers state because of oil money but the killings happening in Benue and Plateau mean nothing to him because there's no oil there

When David Hundeyin and other intelligent people were hammering about Tinibu drug case in the US, most people thought it doesn't matter.
But the truth is, drug dealers are heartless criminals who are worse than armed robbers.
That's what Tinibu is. Heartless, selfIsh old criminal, who cares about nothing except his personal ambition. He doesn't wanna ruffle the feathers of the northerners.
Even his tribes men are being wiped out, he cared not.

Niceguy4ever:
Buy toys from me please. Check my profile.

Adult toys, you mean?

There is no kid on this forum. Lol 😆😆

Idiotic Criminals. Every year, they say they did projects, still yet, people dey suffer like crazy. What a poverty ridden country like Nigeria, needs are projects that will make people afford their basic needs comfortably, food, clothing, shelter, electricity, health and water.
You achieved 95 percent implementation, yet their president is in France to seek Healthcare attention and enjoy better place wey people dey implement real project.

You made the best choice dude.

CoronaVirusPro:
Experience is the teacher!

Those are few of the brave ones who have the guts and nerve to return. Many still cannot accept that reality and will rather die there.

I do read that statement saying “Comeback back home of abroad isn’t good” it mostly comes from people who have not seen the other side.

Just pray you never get to a point where returning will be close to impossible.

You will know why 20 years abroad is not a flex. You think thru don’t want to come home? It’s because there is nothing to show for those years. They believe their status is secret being abroad than relocating back where everyone will know.

Like I said, experience will teach you.

Are you talking from experience?

Clown...

You aren't talking from. Experience and you are telling others that experience will show them.

Every single person who returned came back with money they made from oversea, and the main reason for their return is to INVEST in nigeria, Nigeria is a virgin land for investment, no fierce competition.
Nobody returns to come look for job or carreer. Okay.
All of them who returned have plan B, to japa again if they don't succeed in nigeria.
Buhari, Tinibu, all una leaders no belive in nigeria, hence they frequent there.
Don't worry, when you experience abroad, you will look at those who return as idiots.
If not for anything, securities, both physical and economic, medicals and emergencies.

sofeo:
Very on point.

This has come to my notice in recent times too.

We can only blame that on our educational system and Nigerian Govt.

He was just describing himself. This was same man who awarded a certificate of return to an Illitrate Cow rearer Buhari with NEPA bill as a certificate.
Most nigerians live on ghost mode.

zero8zero:
Online kids will attack him now, but they know Americans are crying now. If you don't know, ask your brother and if you don't have a brother there, you can ask a brother that has a brother over there.

Americans are not.
Shut up. I live in America.
Whats wrong with you kids?

Saladdin:
Both countries would feel the impact. The US is not the Alpha and Omega in everything and they'll be severely hit.

You need to understand that cheap labour is only one piece in the puzzle.

Have you considered the fact that China has the most complete and integrated supply chain in the world, especially in sectors like electronics, textiles, automotive, and machinery. No other country comes close and would come close in many years to come regardless of how the Billions in USD poured into them.

Also, for a country producing nearly 30% of the world's output, well both agree that hurting them in any way comes with serious consequences.

Plus, those countries you mentioned, especially Vietnam, and Mexico have substantial Chinese investments in their manufacturing sector. In essence, lots of goods coming from them are "Chinese" in everything except the place of production.

There's nothing "idiotic" about China, Trump is just grasping a straws. Like I mentioned earlier, every reasonable person wants China to triumph, that way the US would be put in their place.

I am telling this guy what I see in US stores and he come dey speak Grammer based on feelings.
My suits, made in Vietnam, my shoes, india, my electrical appliances, Mexico. If you doubt, i will snap them now and show you.
There is going to be a shift. These other countries have the infrastructure and cheap labor like China, just that their demand has been low because of China hence no need for expansion.
Again, which reasonable person wants China to triumph?
What have you or Nigeria benefited from China that you want them triumph? Just mention it?
When They gave the world Covid, it was America who first came to the rescue of the world.

The reason America is important to the world. The world can't do without them..

Pootle:
why hand shaking her like that

To connect his Bluetooth device.

His blokos under that agbada go dey strong like hot rod

Acekidc4:
Then we should manufacture and produce them ourselves. Why are we so lazy🤔

Una leaders are idiotic.
Common give people 24 hours light, and make it cheap, see why nigerians won't go into serious manufacturing. But the foolish president decide to waste 14 trillion on his super highway.
Put the freaking money on steady power supply and see why investors no go rush open industries in nigeria because of cheap labor

spiSeyi:
Trump is pained to the marrow China is a self sufficient state unlike others and can easily do away with the US but the US can't survive without the Chinese. Investors prefer to manufacture their stuff in China because of cheap labor and almost tax free regime which is not obtainable in the US. (e.g. The likes of Innoson won't go to the US for their spares even big company like Boeing can't build aircraft engines without the Chinese components, Apple will make almost no profit if it tries to shift its production line to the US )
The US should wake to reality that the global economy has taken a new face
Take it or leave it China is 20 yrs ahead of everyone including the US . Just imagine that they have launched their homemade aircraft since 2019 Comac C919 which is even rumored to be better, cheaper than Boeing that's crashes almost every year(all parts were built from scratch which is not obtainable anywhere), China has also taken over the EV industry with the arrival of BYD ( a cheaper and more durable alternatives to Tesla). All it takes China is to instruct FoxCon (major chip and manufacturer for iPhone and Boeing) and other IC companies to stop every business dealing with the US companies then the US will be done for in a few months

Na so una dey think for nigeria?
Person wey dey buy goods from you wey worth over $400 billion, na him you dey fight?
Lol.
Vietnam, Mexico, Bangladesh, India, Thailand, etc, so many Asian countries get cheap labor oo.
In fact Vietnam goods don dey full American stores slowly.
China is idiotic, they will regret their actions soon.

Acekidc4:
Their problem🥱 Let them go from Trade war to Nuclear War, me and president Tinubu no care. What we care about is to make Nigeria more greater💯

When 2 elephants fight, the grass suffers.
Who go dey give una cheap goods if not China?
Na only china goods una fit afford oo. U can't afford Japanese goods oo

CoronaVirusPro:
Trust me, you won’t appreciate that peace till you find yourself a position where you have to keep running.

The American system will put you on your toes.

By choice, at least it gives you other opportunities not to be on your toes. Which Nigerian system doesn't. Forces you to be on your toes without a choice

CoronaVirusPro:
Where did I state that Nigeria is better?

I only said they are more at peace than an average American. Nigerians have rest of mind. With little they have, they are secured.

Can you say same about the US? Ain’t you always running to make money? What do you PERMANENTLY own in the US today that wound not be taken away from you if you default in taxes or medical bills? Did I hear you say nothing?

When you have a house over your head in Nigeria, I mean YOURS, 50% of your problems are solved. You have something to hold on to even if you lose your job for 2 years, you only have to struggle to eat. Is that applicable in the US.

Nigerians don’t force it. The country is bad but citizens are perfectionist in adjusting to trends with what they have. Unlike the US, you could own 2024 range, and a house in palm beach, it doesn’t mean you secured? You just need a high paying job for 2 years to show as proof to own all that. The rest is debt.

Did I lie?

Tell me where else I lied.

How can you have peace of mind and rest of mind. When you don't know where your next meal will come from? Can you comfortable eat or drink whatever you want? Can you pay your kids school fees now and fuel your cars and pay house rents comfortably without sleepless nights? 😆
I don't run around for money, I work 4 days a week, 26 hours a week and I make good money a year, so one running around for money is personal decision.
Whatever debt you owe, there is always option for payment plan, where you can set up to pay little into the debt every month, once you are paying that little amount nobody takes your thing. And if you can't, you can declare bankruptcy and the debt forgiven.
Come build house for nigeria again make I see. Na 30k minimum wage you go take build am? Nobody struggles to eat in the US, in fact food they throw away can feed Nigerian poor yearly. If you struggle to eat in nigeria inside the house you built, how can you be happy? A hungry man is an angry man.
Dude, a madman who beg for arms on the street in the US makes more money than most nigerians, doctors and engineers. 😆
Nigerians doesn't adjust to hardship, that's why they are wicked, frustrated, mean, inhuman, thieves, impatient, depressed because they are all on survival mode. When you drive in American road and nigeria road you will understand the difference. 😆. People yield easily, no rush.
Being in debth in America is carelessness and not becasue they don't have money. They spend like crazy. Want the newest of everything and have zero saving culture. Only the old school do.
I have no debt on my name here. Lol

CoronaVirusPro:
Which lie do you want to debunk. State it out.

The lie is, that it is better in nigeria. And i tell you that no matter how bad you say it is in America, it's 1 million times better than Nigeria.
Pray never to have an emergency in nigeria, if you do, na God hand your life dey. There is no value of life in nigeria

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Bring it on.. China is not your European or Middle East satellite/vassal Country that you can bully or threaten with tariff. They said they're ready for any type of war against the US.
Meanwhile, Trump has extended TikTok operation in the US for 75 days after the initial 30 days expired. You can't threaten or bully China.

China is idiotic. 70 percent of her goods are bought by the US. What if the US move to India or other rivals? You think say na $100 nigeria dey buy from them dey move their economy?
The US consumes 34% of goods manufactured worldwide, the rest 8 billion share the rest

CoronaVirusPro:
People who have never travelled and don’t know what plays will have more to say than those who have actually passed through the system.

I love what the lady said, go get a visa and experience that life of you choose to.

The western life will put you on your toes till you die. You will never have rest of mind. Don’t let TikTok videos and American movies deceive you. That system is a modernized and equipped slave market.

Those that say for the future of the kids don’t even know they are praying for their kids to get into debt from a young age and serve the system till they stop breathing. How many can pay the fees for a top university outrightly.

Even the education is wack. How many Nigerians live in top tier zip codes with highly rated schools. They only appreciate those quack schools in low rated zip codes based on what they have in Nigeria.

A country where medical bills can send you back to the streets homeless.

If you study the system, you will realize it’s a trap.

“The American dream is an illusion”

They soak you in debt to make you believe you are doing fine, and you will work for the system till you die.

Even in death, your corpse will still pay heavily to have a grave and still be owing the government sales tax when your family want to liquidate your property.

Do you live in America?
Have you lived there before?
If yes, where?
If the answer to these questions is no, then you have no morals right to talk about a place, syatem and where you haven't lived yourself, only what you read on the news.
No place is perfect, but Whatever you said is lies. No matter how bad you say it is in America, it's haven compared to nigeria.
We can argue this out, I have my facts. I live there and have lived there for years.

Xisnin:
Again you show your absolute ignorance on economics and foreign policy.
You group of dullards still think foreign aid are free money given to countries.

Even from the list you provided, which you don't understand, the Foreign aid are 100% to further American's foreign policy, they are not gift to the government of the countries involved.
As for those rich countries on the list, they appear because the US choose to partner with the local-based international NGO.

All you need to do if follow where the money eventually reached, but that is too much to ask from the know nothing crowd.

I don't blame you though, your dear leader even tariffed an highland inhabited by penguins and another inhabited by US troops because he is too dump to understand anything beyond two sentences.


Here, we go again, when cornered in their idiocy they lashed out at an irrelevant subject.

Lol. Frustrated souls.
Prove your stupid points with evidence. Just emotional rants.
Showed you silly thing, the GDPs, trade information, the deficit, the aid, now he is again ranting emotionally.
Show your evidence.

Xisnin:
I consider all Trump supporters as complete morons and you are a perfect example.
How else could you have fallen for one of the most foolish man to find himself in power?


We are talking about zero tariff, this dullard think it is bragging time.
You make a mistake of spewing trash outside of your low-info cult group.


Which countries government and how much?


You couldn't be duller than this.
Do you even know anything about this topic?


I am not aware of any country begging.
Perhaps you mean concessions, only few poverty-stricken countries have granted unilateral
concessions out of fear or lack of strategic plans. And guess what?
They got nothing in return.


He want what to balance?
You members of Trump illiterati are a lost cause but
at least stick to your putrid group of know nothings.

Village man.. dey your shithole dey whine. America no send bastards like you.
You have bigger monster in your leaders to deal with. Leave the US alone to do their thing, no dey carry them for head.
See below,. You malnourished, malaria infested, poverty stricken african child

Xisnin:
I suppose EU just said this to fulfill all righteousness.

Trump may likely push back at first.
Apart from electric vehicles and weapons, US have no other advantage over the EU.
A zero tariff on industrial goods will mostly "benefit" the EU.

Waiting for the pro-tariff Trump-supporter to make a U-turn immediately dear leader
changes his mind.

Lol. "Apart from electric vehicles and weapons, the US have no other advantage over the EU" says a village man who have never left the shithole country called Nigeria. Lol 😆😆

Every freaking European country, the US is their major market. America buys most of their goods.
America still gives these countries monies. American GDP is bigger than that of the EU combined. Google is your friend.
The EU are begging the US to negotiate, that's what Trump want. Everybody is taking advantage of the US. He wants it to be balance, "gain from me and I gain from you equally" is that bad to ask?

Edimakan:
Every protest in Nigeria is always tagged ill-timing by NPF
Please when is the right time for the citizens to air there grief abeg

Election day... the perfect time...

LordBiden:
Instead of him focusing on how to ease cost of living in the USA by enacting policies that will bring down prices of goods,, he is busy fighting nonsensical trade war.

He should brace up for retaliations from eu countries and china since he wants to be stupid.

American farmers will pay for this.

Lol. You are ignorant. America is a working country with all the amenities, manpower and money to start any business, easy.
Once those products from those countries become very expensive, the demands from America will decline and alternatives start springing up; becasue those things I mentioned are in place, Americans will start producing them in america. Watch and see.

RichBoy247:
Isn’t your village not more beautiful and technologically advanced than this? Those who say bad about their nation will not eat the fruit of the land

The people that will not eat the fruit of the land are the people who build cities that is mediocre/stupid, becasue .mediocrity doesn't bring reward.
Another people that won't eat the fruit are people who see a mediocre cities lying that it is not, liars don't get rewards.
Nigeria architects and engineers are dumb, honestly, their designs are wacky and tacky.
The moment you land from US or Europe, right from the plane, you will see it's home of stupidity. It looks dumb compare to oyinbo land. Honestly. No bad feelings but truth.
Once your phone crosses over to America or Europe, the picture quality changes. Lol

tommy589:
Aside Haiti that was ruined by France with trade embargo. Tell us one country that the indigeneous blacks created for themselves

Don't they have a country before colonization?
Why arent they developed after colonization.
US was colonized, Singapore was... now see workings....
Tell me which african country is regarded as developed country. Even Egypt that wasn't colonized and had existed from the onset of the world.

jazzman7711:
You are a brainwashed IGNORAMUS. That’s your problem.

You are led by the nose by CNN and BBC, who portray Somalia and Boko Haram whenever they show you black countries.

That’s why you are BRAINWASHED to think the way you do - like a dunce.

When you start to use your brain, and stop being programmed by western media, you can explore functional, fast developing black countries all the way from Senegal to Jamaica, from Trinidad to Kenya, from Ivory Coast to the Bahamas, from Tanzania to Barbados, and from Rwanda to Botswana, and more.

Then you will stop feeling so inferior to other races.

I asked a simple question and instead of you to apply logical reasoning and answer my question or prove me wrong with facts, you start insulting and calling me names. Lol
Now tell me, does this behavior not animal-like?
Thats the point. If someone say you are animal, act like human and prove them wrong. Don't act like what you are called, which you just did.
Anyways, I don't dwel on sentiments, and I don't think you have gone past nigeria. Mind you, I live in the US right now with my family. I have seen the world more than you will for the rest of your life.
All these countries you mentioned have over 95% poverty rate and none of them have safe drinking water running into their homes, standard hospital, wifi at homes and electricity in all homes. I tell you from experience, traveling far and wide.
Use your brain, act like human and come back for logical argument. Maybe frustration and hunger are your problem, I can send you money right now, if you want.
