It is not about greed. I think it is about culture and premium attached to marriage.

what premium are they selling the woman... culture should be for human advancement not to cage us... this development here is good even if more can Still be done... many women were married out of wedlock due to crude customs ... how do u expect someone to go pay 2million for bribe price... that money can aide a family... I know in IMO Bride price is flat 25k... if person get money to flex no wahala but guys who are starting life should not be pressured into parting with little they have...except I guys are saying women are commodities...

I never said the west wasnt better, i only said the paremeters of what you are looking for could be different in the end, as i made mention of if you are looking for a simple life which is guaranteed in the west

Like once you leave school you wont even need to worry you will easily find job, I was only explaning the catch, the system has a trappy system that will catch you into a system where the only achievement you will have after 30 years if perhaps getting only a mortgage or passing your driving test. It is that serious.

After 30 years, there is no guarantee you will be better than those who graduated with you from university 30 years before. I dont know why but this is just the case

it's still better then so long u can live and your kids have hope too... oh why do our elites send their kids there

CanadaOrBust:
But many make it that’d be in debt in the West. Also they can afford all sorts of servants and be able to bribe their way unlike the West. Though unethical, those things contribute to happinesses

bribe na people like ina spoil this country...

HBB1:
Baba mi, I tire o!

And how many people earn up to him? In a country where people are begging for 100k naira jobs?

Will you compare Lagos traffic, waking up by 4am and getting home by 10pm for a 100K job, with the London underground?

Some things are more than 'just' financial equivalent!

Person wey dey reason say Naija na the best option...so be it.

abi in Lagos we cant explore the water ways for people to use.... imagine if folks from ikorodu could use the waters ways to lekki efficiently we have light rails to take people in cities we have decent trains connecting Lagos to Ibadan osun etc it ll decongest traffic and living in Lagos

timesup234:
America is the capital of homelessness and poverty. Homeless people everywhere in New York, Shitcago and California begging you to spare them a dollar. Even close to the white house you will see many of them. The US. media sell the American dream to guillible Nigerians so they can move down and work like slaves round the clock. Due to the long working hours majority of Nigerians are mentally scarred forever. It is indeed a disaster. Nobody should experience this great depression and anxiety

ain't there beggars in Nigeria in fact beggin is full time job for some people... imagine me earning a meagre 30 thousand Naira as a graduate on a temporary job of empowerment by govt to be proud of the country... light Bill's are estimated no Meters... most jobs u see companies pay pea nuts even bellow minimum wage.. have worked as security guard before u are paid 25-30k no ad on and company has collected 80-100k naira on your head how do u survive... poor infrastructures... no health insurance... no child support for kids... poor govt schools with some having 90 students per class what are we saying...

adonainana:
Very few handful civilians in the UK will ever earn £60,000 per year in the UK. Only director/ ceo of companies are on that salary, Even if they are on it, The net income paid to your bank account after tax is £3,000 per month despite you being on an £5,000 per month salary ( The £2,000 remaining would automatically be paid to the govt as tax)

The UK system is brilliant if you are content with life andjust want your children to get something you never had like universities you talked about etc.

Besides there are lot of people in Nigeria not killing stealing and scamming and are better than a lot of people living here in the UK, a lot i tell you.

Tbh i think it is more or less about ones prioroty in life and what is exciting to one and not.

In my 11 years in the west, i saw everything, the evidence that it is not all that ourweighs the one that it is all that

Reason for my conclusion

I no mind to swap with u not here u go to school and I wait two years to get ur certificate before service cos of a stupid mistake of an inefficient system... then getting job if u know no one in govt circles is difficult... a country where light bills are outrageous no meter just estimated bills... a country where a law maker go home with over 20million Naira per month and other nonsense constituency allowance... what are u saying... a country with a corrupt Civil Service... I had hopes going to the university to study political science graduated as third best student in my set... how was I rewarded I could not get my results until after a year plus due an error in compilation after service am just relying on an empowerment of 30 thousand naira per month... let's face it the west is better... do u know how much ihenacho earns compare with a player in Nigerian league... leave this argument abeg

orunmila144:
you will rather pay monthly ? gtfoh. to pay nepa bill is a herculean task for you nigerians but we are expected to believe that you will gladly pay monthly for a car ? to pay your nepa bills you guys beat up nepa officials or bribe them to go away. we are supposed to believe you can survive the american system ? half of the nigerians who go to america end up having mental illness because they find out they cant get away with not paying their bills. thats why many nigerian men go mad in america and start killing their wives. the truth of the matter is that america is a very hard place to live in. it is not for the faint hearted. many nigerians have mental illness in america

is there meter de bring estimated bills... if I leave in a flat with meter and can recharge it means if am out I'll off my light it won't read... stop supporting rubbish corruption of phcn... create a functional society and watch people fall in line

tyup:
the exaggeration is just to much

and Even the OP don't know what he's saying

this write up is useless to start with... Africa is not a country why compare a continent to a country America...this is rubbish... compare Nigeria to America or South Africa to America the discussion would make sense... the western world is functional than most African states less corrupt...

Xisnin:
Joblessness is very bad, that is why Abah is desperately seeking attention.
Is it really possible that Abbah don't know that people require proper documentation
to use air transport?

If they came by air, we will be certain that they are not illegal immigrants.

so u ain't jobless with this yeye reply... is everyone who fly by air to Lagos that's is a Nigerian...

emmanuelpopson:
I tell you...IG is populated by olosho..Twitter is all about intellectual people and those who has something to offer... my IG account had been unopened for like 2 years now...though it was opened in 2011..Twitter is the bomb.. I.love it more

I tel u this guy life might change for good I mean... I wish naija clubs can improve their media presence too... imagine Enyimba or rangers giving a chap trial via tweeter

Draught:
The fact that Cork city takes recommendations via twitter to observe a player describes their recruitment status in a nutshell.

common it's a amazing story de Neva thought the guy could get 50k retweet... don't guys get job thru tweeter...nawa for u

EbukaHades10:
True

salah could easily have won a ballon dor this last two season if not for his selfish play imagine scoring goals and raking plenty assist... team success ist before personal glory which is why wenger said football awards are distraction...

I remember one foolish white man shouting Nigerian scammer just cuz the boy asked for retweet not money... after arguments I had to block him...but I don't blame him... imagine if our league was better organized and Nigeria was organized would this guy be looking to Ireland to play football... all the same it's shows what social media can do...mods push this to front page...ASAP

vibbb:
Ok, Mamador thank you.
But y not employ her instead, she's a graduate you can always find a place for her.

man this is better imagine giving me a good professional camera now that I want to learn photography and video coverage... she has a platform already let her grow...

TSRC:
When I was saying Nigeria should try to get Tammy, some people said he is too young and is an insult to Nigeria.

By the time he starts banging goal consistently, England would snap him up and we would stand no chance.
He is very Young with a bright future.

he has to make up his mind besides its no big deal if we lose him we have tested attackers already we need better midfielders... osihmen and others can do the job... should Buhari beg Tammy to play for Nigeria?

xxxangel:
What is he expecting, ask Gabriel agbolahor ...brother England is filled up of Racists better come home...

u guys are myopic they are racist and they pick dele Alli... who would Tammy bench Kane or sterling or who as top 9...can he play from the wings like lingard or Rashford... sterling is black and jaimacan yet he was picked stop typing nonsense

Godshope:
Why is it that similar stories were not told on the side of their children. They even get job before graduating.

Anybody telling U that Nigerian graduates are not employable is a criminal.
Our leaders are greedy. Most of them eat the salaries of more than 100 ghost workers. Most of them will even collect Ur certificate, tell U that the job is not successful while they will use your certificate to eat your supposed salary.

Have we ever pondered to ask why the same news of graduates not been employable is not heard of their children.

Though some graduate are not worth being graduates, but that story of not employable is sure fallacy.

For instance, last Federal Civil Service had graduates with 3rd Class shortlisted for enrollment while those with 2nd Class Upper were not even shortlisted. There were even no room for interview.

Until this country learn to be open in everything, Nigeria will continue to go backward and as well be unproductive.

Finally, the so called leaders cum politicians are our problem

u de mind them our society is favorable to some let's run a fair system besides not everyone can be an entrepreneur...sanusi son that went abroad to study accountling came back to join the police force is he better than those here if everything is to be done fair and square...

larryking540:
people are going on solar, so bro electricity isn't our problems, we are just educated but our iq is zero

I wonder how electricity is a major issue without corruption in private and public sector... roads uncore... security...i mean we are talking about functional Nigerian state...

martineverest:
misleading headline

even if sonner or later it ll affect those running to go born in US...and I ll like it...lets stay and fix the country... some Nigerian elite are wicked and only care for their interest

Guzel:
Many comments here are wrong
The law is for US citizens living outside USA.
If that American woman working at US embassy in Abuja gives birth in Nigeria. She will have to apply for American citizenship for her baby despite the fact that she’s an American.

then u an outsider ll go born there automatic citizen cos na four head u get and them de fear u

Cheers01:
Hijab and niqab should not be worn in Nigeria. It is Arabic culture.

The Quran says "cloak", veil and "cover". It does not specify how.


Hijab and niqab are specific types of covering from Arabic culture.


The ignorant will always copy rubbish

you de mind them... it should be a choice self imagine punishing someone for not wearing hijab

Krasid:
Wrong. FIFA's The best is by September, while Ballon d'or is by December. The dates were changed about 2 years ago.

their agenda is for Messi to win they don't know that VVD is winning everything... let them campaign like atiku did vvd ll win simple and short it's his time a man whose time has come always surprises people with his achievements..

GMbuharii:
See lost Auchi person!?!?

Agenebode u mean am lost cos I stated facts...

baby124:
The boy from Oxford took a course and has no degree. Soludo could be a PhD at 25 if he went to school at 18, finished at 21 with UK schools and went straight for a PhD.

u know nothing soludo school all in UNN... stop typing rubbish check google ist... this rule is rubbish... even the jamb rule of 16 to enta university should be jettisoned... anyone who show capacity at young age should be allowed to shine... while those who blossomed at old age should be allowed to shine to why put barriers on people...my roommate then graduated at 20 in Unical imagine with this useless law it can't be possible..

eni4real:
36 goals in the La Liga.. You expect him to score this playing in the EPL or SerieA?? He played against teams in his league of course?! 36 goals against 30 teams!! Add deep respect to his name!!! You may never see any player doing that again. .. When. Salah scored 32 goals without any trophies last season, you should see how much he was hyped!!! Messi has spoiled you guys, you think 36 league goal is easy?? No wonder he has won most European Golden shoe in history! ! He makes excellent things look normal

12 UCL goals?? C'mon he did not score all that against Huesca!!! Out of the 12. He had a double against each Finalist teams, Tottenham and Liverpool!!!
He did not win the UCL?? Not everyone has Origi, Okay??
No single players can be everywhere at the same time on the field.
While VVD was busy shadow marking, Allison was saving one on one chances, Origi was scoring goals!!
Without Origi, Liverpool would end the season trophyless!!! Shikena!!!!

How VVD becomes better than Ronaldo+Mane+Salah+Allison combined is very baffling...
300 what??
Save the hype abeg...

He has won it already, he will surely win the Ballon d'or too. Another Modric??

you are just an obsessed messi fan simple... the game is not about attackers alone.... VVD has done well and would still do well this season...you are not intelligent than coaches and journalist who voted for VVD.... u keep repeating without others VVD won't have won nothing... can Messi play alone is it not someone that ll give him a pass to score....a man who best player in England yet u think he is worth to beat a LA liga champion...

eni4real:
51 goals in 50 games.. That is a goal in every game... What else so you want him to do

All the mediocres in Barcelona team should be weeded off of they want to win the treble again!!!

Messi will always be inhibited by weak teamwork!!! More core to the midfield and Defence... Even Griezmann and Neymar will not change anything!!!

Individually, Messi is the best but according to UEFA, VVD is better than Messi+ CR7 combined in 2019!!!

Someone that would end the season trophyless without Origi!!! VVD qualify to be the Liverpool GOAT now!!!

600+ career goals is not a product of overhype, it is a product of hardwork and excellence!!!

50 goals most scored against huesca,real betis and others... if it's goals lewandowski has more than mane as such should be ahead of Neymar stop this rubbish and thrash u are selling

baby124:
Good idea. Parents rush their kids too much. Even the dumb ones are writing common entrance in primary 4 and they are passing because their parents are cheating for them. University is for adults. If they leave secondary school at 18, they will graduate at 22. So, it’s very ok. If they peg secondary school entrance at 12 and primary school entrance at 6, all the rubbish rush rush will end. If your child is truly a genius, there is a school for the gifted. Apply there. Even in America kids cannot enter KG before 5 or almost 6. They mostly finish secondary school at 18!

A child that graduates secondary school at 18 is mature enough to acquire a skill or go to university and excel. There will be less incidence of cultism and all these useless sleeping around for grades because of pressure and immaturity.

you made no sense did u see Joshua who graduated 14 from Oxford.. there are guys who have PhD at 25... guys like soludo had their PhD at 25 with this useless laws imagine some genius we ll be holding back... it's a useless law not feasible in this jet age

eni4real:
You are not making any sense!!! VVD is a product of overhype!!!
There is no way he was better than Ronaldo+Mane+Salah combined!!!

He would end the season trophyless without Origi. Pathetic poll!!!
I hope you can understand now, Mr cry detector!!!

let Messi play alone without other players whether he ll win a spoon rubbish... who hype both Messi Ronaldo when they dominated for ten years...

eni4real:
According to UEFA, VVD is far better than Ronaldo+Mane+Salah combined in 2019!!!
This is not even close, 300+ points!!!!

so why are folks crying up and down... sometimes dictatorship is good to enforce some just things as democracy encourages emotional rubbish

eni4real:
This is not a transfer hype..

This is an award hype... To say that Harry Kane is among the top 10 best player in the World is a complete overhype!!!

To say that a player that was avoiding dribbling is the best player in a team that has 97 points(an attacking team that produce 2 Golden boots winners) is a form of hype..
It become an overhype when they say he overturned a deficit that was actually pulled off by Origi, or that he won the Super Cup, something that Mane and Adrian obviously did!!! !

Who will pay to watch a player not being dribbled,, games are won by goals!!!

If he defend well, yes he worth the best defender award...

But to be the best player in athr whole Europe against a 50+ goals, 20+ Assists kinda player, you have to be the one calling shot not Origi!!!
Puyol score the only goal that make Spain defeat Germany in the semi final of the World cup, so I know what I mean!!!

go sleep for over ten years Messi Ronaldo dominanted this awards there was English media no one cried... stop polutting nairaland with rubbish...

maxwell530:
bro don't be misinformed, Ronaldo is not the first player playing in England to win Balon Dor.... Infact the first player to win that award was an English player playing for Blackpool,his name is Stanley Matthews. And 5 different players have since won that award before Ronaldo won in 08. Ronaldo balon Dor is a product of media hype by his fans.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballon_d%27Or

FIFA award uncore which differs from world best...

MT:
British media won the award for him. The hype was too much. This award is meant to be for indvidual brilliance, Messi should have it in a very fair world. He breaks barrier with such a breezing ease.

British media won it for modric too last season oponu...
