My brother, you have spoken well.

Where some see problems, others see opportunity. To some, the infrastructure in Nigeria is a problem, to others, it's an opportunity.

Let me use the Nigerian banking sector as an example. Today, Nigeria's banking sector is well developed, but it was not always so. Back in the 70s and 80s, it was very poor and underdeveloped. At that time, there were two sets of people.

The first set of people are like dextrousone. They were wailing and frowning and insulting the industry, calling the country a shithole for not having a well developed banking industry comparable to other countries.

The second set of people, instead of seeing the underdeveloped banking industry as a problem, saw it as an opportunity to get a strong foothold in the industry. Back then, it was very easy to start a bank due to undevelopment of the sector. Very low regulatory and capital requirements. So they took advantage of this and started bank, some collapsed while some became the banks we see today. Among this second set of people, are the likes of Tony Elumelu and Jim Ovia.

Now that the banking industry is developed, the opportunity in the industry has reduced. Very very few can meet to high and tight capital and regulatory requirements to get into the banking industry today, compared to back in those days when the industry was underdeveloped and therefore with low requirements which provided the opportunity for people like Jim and Tony. If Jim and Tony were today in the same position where they were back in those days before starting their banks, graduates with few years of working experience, of course they wouldn't be able to start UBA and Zenith Bank today. It was the underdevelopment of the industry that gave them their opportunity. Today, all the wailers, including those who used the undeveloped industry as an excuse to move abroad, are nowhere near them.

I am not saying everyone must stay in Nigeria. If you think abroad will favour you better than Nigeria, then leave. Those that believe Nigeria favours them better than abroad, will stay back. The problem I have is that those that want to leave will not allow the rest to hear word, everytime disturbing and insulting those that want to stay. If you wan go, then go in peace and leave us alone. Indians go abroad too and achieve far far more than any Nigerian diaspora can ever achieve, yet you won't hear then making useless noise or insulting their country and those who decided to stay back. As you're leaving, many are coming in, especially the Lebanese and Indians, and I can bet these people that are coming in will be far more productive and beneficial to the nation than you if you stayed. Where I leave, there's a large number of Lebanese-Nigerians who've been here for generations. Others came quite recently. I see the huge celebrations they throw when they get their Nigerian passports. So as you're celebrating your Permanent Residency or passport abroad, there are also those who are celebrating getting our own down here. So as you're going, we are working towards building our own back here. Our own that we can call our own, not another person's own where I will have to be continuously chanting black lives matter, racism and I can't breathe.

So as Abroad is your paradise, Nigeria is also paradise for others. Go to your paradise and let others enjoy their paradise in peace.

Also, anti-immigrant sentiment is springing up across the developed world. Trump is only the first. Go and look at others like Matteo Salvini in Italy. That one is willing to sink any ship carrying african migrants across the Mediterranean. I hope if or when the real owners of those countries you're running to, decide to kick you out, you will not start shouting "Black Lives Matter"and racism and "I can't breathe", because they have a right chase away unwanted visitors. They also have a right to treat you as they wish, including gunning you down for no just reason. If you don't like it, they'll tell you, shut up or go back to your country.

Funny how they call and cheer and love it when Trump calls their country or continent a shithole but get angry and start calling him racist when he treats them and their kind as nothing more than "shit from a shithole"

You have spoken well....

You are very correct @the bolded

ultron12345:
Correct.

Like I always say, there is nothing wrong with the land called Nigeria, there is nothing wrong with River Niger and Zuma Rock. The only problem with Nigeria is the kind of people inhabiting the land. Nigerians are a cancer to Nigeria. There is no major difference between the land Nigeria, and the land Canada. The only difference is that one is occupied by smart people while the other by stupid people.

Someone was telling me about a Nigerian that got a political position in Canada and made a statement "that he hopes, one day, Nigeria will start to reward merit". I told the person that I don't agree. Nigeria cannot reward merit, neither can Canada. These are just lands. It is the inhabitants of Canada, Canadians that recognize and reward merit. The inhabitants of Nigeria on the other hand, prefer nepotism. Nigerians do not recognize and reward merit, but you'll see Nigerians saying "Nigeria", trying to dissociate themselves from the problem.

Again, I'm usually shocked at how boastful Nigerians are. Someone up there said Nigerians are the most hardworking and honest people.... Lol.
Nigerians will claim they're the smartest, most intelligent, most hardworking people in the world. It's surprising how a people that cannot manufacture ordinary toothpick believe they're more intelligent than people that are traveling into space. People with productivity per capita of $2000 believe they're more hardworking than Americans, Japanese, Singaporeans with productivity per capita of $62000, $39000, and $64000 respectively. A country of 200Million of the "most hardworking and smartest individuals in the world" has a GDP of $400B, while a country of 35Million "less hardworking and less smart" Canadians have GDP of $1.7Trillion. Just 8.5Million Swiss people make GDP of $705B, far more than 200 million of the so-called "most hardworking and smartest individuals in the world". Dr Ola said on twitter that there's no evidence that for Nigerians being the most enterprising people, not when you have the Jews, Lebanese, Indians. You can even see their exploits here in Nigeria.

Nigerians will give excuse of "environment", saying the Nigerian environment is bad. The reason the Nigerian environment is bad is because Nigerians failed to build a good environment. The good environment in US, UK, China, Norway, Canada did not fall from heaven, it was built by Americans, Britons, Chinese, Norwegians, and Canadians respectively. Upon the good environment in the UAE, Malaysia and other countries, Hushpuppy and other Nigerians still go there to do rubbish. Hence, I'm not surprised Nigerians are being banned everywhere.

Excelling abroad ke? Nigerians just like to make noise. Did you know that among US immigrants, Nigerian American immigrants are not even among the top 60 in terms of median household income. The Indians, Chinese and co top that list. Even amongst Africans, South African Americans, Egyptian Americans and Ghanaian Americans earn more than Nigerian Americans (who actually earn less than the overall American average). Whatever you think Nigerians are doing abroad, others like the Indians, Chinese, Lebanese have done far far more. Just that Nigerians like to make more noise.

Next, they'll be pointless their crooked fingers at the leaders. And I ask, are the government not Nigerians, are the leaders not from amongst the people. All the looting politicians, all the SARS that are killing, that did not come from another planet, they are all from amongst the citizens. They are a microcosm, a cross-section of the citizens. They say they apple does not fall far from the tree. A multitude of demons cannot give rise to angels as leaders. Bad citizens will always give rise to bad leaders.


Nigerians are just a failure of a people, that's why Nigeria is the way it is today.

NB: I never said there are no hardworking, smart, intelligent Nigerians. I only said that these set of Nigerians constitute a very tiny minority of Nigerians, far less than 10%. And if 90% of a product is defective, it's fair to say the entire product is defective.

Haaaa

Plain truth

Dum20:
Please stop generalising things.

A Nigerian woman once headed NAFDAC and those people making and selling fake drugs were run out of business.

Did you put the right people to head these agencies? Are they being run properly?

But stop saying bad things about Nigerians.

I have said it before, Nigerians are one of the most hard working people in the world and they are honest. Provide them the right environment and they soar

The way they are soaring in UAE, USA and co
and getting us visa ban

Happy sales

Evidenx:
oga prove me wrong with facts,[b] i have alot of people in these two countries [/b]and i know what am saying.

Nothing to prove to you here, @anastasius has told you the real fact

You haven't studied nor been to those countries before why making that kind of statement with full confidence ?

Evidenx:
na you dey ask this one? The quality of education in south africa beats ghana by far and you have more opportunities there than Ghana. Also Ghana's education beats that of nigeria by far. . Na so e be.

You are totally wrong

Ope4Christ:
Leave Nigerian government out of it. There's no message that is necessary that the Nigerian Embassy has not issued but we failed to understand DIPLOMACY in the process of such information. They are only being careful. Nigerian government cannot solve the whole problem created by Nigerians in UAE.

Patience is the most important key now. Work/Resident Permit will soon open with strict measures.

Wait for it.

Well said.....
Nigerians will not understand that

Congo

Is even visa free

Good day all. Please I need some suggestions. Planning our relocation for next March/April. I have a 2016 Toyota Prius with very good mileage. I know most people will sell their cars and buy a new one when they relocate. But I can’t get good value for this car because you know Naija now - if it’s not a “Jeep” it’s not a car.

If I am to buy this car in Canada it should be costing like 15k. I am seriously thinking of carrying this vehicle along. Is there any way this can make sense? Has anyone imported a vehicle into Canada and what are the costs? (Clearing, registering etc.

Thanks.

You can't import used vehicle into Canada

How about 2.4m?

I have the lower version of this car, so I can sell off immediately.
