How any pne can be scared or frightened about something as mundane and boring as marriage beggars belief. Most of what I find here are petty excuses for not knowing the person you end up with well enough. Perosnally i dont want to marry and settle in a society as rotten and unfair as naija.

Troll alert. some seriosly imaginative writer is trying to troll me on a tuesday morning. OP claims she is female but writes like a male( i can't explain, its a gut thing), at 20 you can string near perfect sentences but you live in Gombe and you claim you are poor(how is that possible?), he or she places her commas and full stops in the right places(a quality of a good writer even if the person deliberately misspells some words to appear dumb), You dated a jerk for 8 months, but um, i find that sort of ironical , someone with the kind of analytical and introspective bent some of your posts show should have the emotional verve to not date a jerk..oh u did it for for 8 months!. Meh…too inconsistent to be found in one normal nigerian..not buying….

for stealing steve jobs quote and claiming it as his, he may well be burning in hell for all we care

that lepa girl that sings i have a feeling in the maltina advert on you tube is very annoying

Billyonaire: With SO MUCH investment opportunities opening up in NIGERIA, no well-informed NIGERIAN SHOULD migrate to a country laden with Debts and SHUTDOWN economy.

People see problems in NIGERIA, I see Opportunities and a Tax Heaven.

Every kobo I make is MINE!

typical naija big mans arrogance. the poor kid in a run down primary school in lafia doesnt know this and wont know this when he is 30. there are many schools like the aforementioned dotted around the landscape. no society is absolutely fair. but if ur born into the wrong circumstances in this one, ur sure as hell ending up the way u came in. social mobility in the u.s.a is almost guaranteed if u r willing to put in the work. how many unborn potential billioanires will take naija over america?

CFCfan: The COST of living in most parts of the US is significantly higher than Nigeria. For instance, with $20,000 or less, one can buy a home in Naija; the same cannot be said for the US except if you live in one of the least populated states.
Hair salon services are also higher in cost than what is obtainable in Naija too.

food, clothing, and other basic essentials are cheaper and of better quality in america than naija! my gf makes her own hair, most hustlers and wise students cut their hair or find ways to get around those extranous expenses. u can do without that. how many places in naija can u afford a house of 3 million, in an okay location that u can work at the same time? who will give u mortgage at a single digit interest rate here in nigeria even if u have a decent job by naija's standards?

bootlegaz:
Methink, OP is an imposter though or lazy man with low self esteem

I wouldn't go as far to say, but any teenager who lived the hard life in naija and did some little economics/math in sec school should know that if you play the numbers game, the odds of doing better in america trump the odds of doing well here, all else equal.

ozo_emeka: THANK YOU

I think people assume that when they "GOOGLE SALARIES" that amount will apply to them. So when they see that an Admin Assistant CAN earn up to $45k they convert to Naira and MOVE without THINKING.

1. That $45k is NOT guaranteed for EVEN citizens
2. They don't have papers and NO ONE will freely hire you unless you do it illegally which means you will make less than minimum wage

The poorest income group in america lives off an average GDP per capita of circa $20,000-$25,000, yet it is still more than 7x that of the average nigerian. And the cost of living (basic and essentials: food, clothing etc) in america is on average less than naija. Industrialization and economies of scale makes that possible. There's a reason why America has made more self made millionaires and billionaires( a decent number immigrants and decendants of immigrants) than any other country in the world. It rewards hardword and industry better than any other country in the world. Your argument was well intentioned but you lost me when you started bashing people who responsibly take on mortgages and debt to pay off their car and consumer loans etc. That's the way a fair society works brother, No? Abi your all for the one we have in Naija were a poor man will have to wait out twenty or forty years before he owns a dream home and car.

Every reasonable Nigerian wants a country that can produce its own cars/goods but the execution of this major policy is DOA. A country that cannot boast of a middle class and basics like sustainable electricity, a decent road infrastructure and a burgeoning steel industry has no business with making its own cars. Segun Agangu and The minister of information Labaran Maku are just blowhards who want be seen to be working but have not thought this one through.

Scun: They made riches off other people's death, I can imagine how they constantly prayed for more people to die so that their business will grow. Now it's their turn.

as a close friend of one of MIC's nephews i'll tell u that those guys were successful because the were excellent at what they did. the same rule applies to most things in life. stop applying christian logic to something u know next to nothing about

so india that i was thinking was very backward and dirty actually enjoys cheaper and better internet than this useless country called nigeria. chineke ekweala ihe ojor. as i was reading through this thread one word kept dancing in my mind: trapped.

dharmmylolar: He is good, but for where? I don't think so

This guy that looks as old as my gran papa looks young? dis guy is clearly over 33. and is prolly playing at his best at the moment and has a very low ceiling compared to people luke omeruo who may be 25(not 19 as he is claiming)

u don jam one chance, u dated someone for 18 months and u no test the tin...sorry sis u won't find solutions here

the_ripper3: Awesome performance today unlike Chelshit dat played TAHITI disguised as Bucharest.

dont gloat u still have to play dortmund and napoli away. no guaranteed points in those games.

a 19 year old google intern from Nepal could have designed this doodle on one arm while fapping off to justin bieber's hair with his other arm

great write up OP, bookmarked for my great great grand children, but i hope our generation would have reprogrammed more fundamental structural problems in this society first like you know basic electricity to keep the lights, sperm freezers and computers on and working, healthcare, potable water , affordable housing, roads, light railway; basically to do the do before delving into sexy fare like java c++ ruby and python. Nice one sha...

Emzybrown: 99% very impressive and in sighting media chart..... indeed the best president so far in Nigeria.

this quoted post may get more likes than any othr on this thread and further reinforces what's wrong with this country. the "human" beings in this country (not ghosts) who enthrone mediocrity eclipse the enlightened few; we are a country filled with mediocre people, thats why we have a mediocre president. i'll never call for gej's head again.

nigeria has no middle class. most of us are dirt poor, the remaining <3% live off the filthy lucre from oil

More money won't solve anything. Nigeria is on the decline and our universities and the education system represent everything that's wrong with this country. The general trend since the 80s has been one of decline so it shouldn't surprise anyone that our schools are also reflecting that trend. Our children will inherit a public school infrastrcture that will be progresively worse than the ones we and our parents attended unless something drastic ( short of a positive military coup) is done to reset the Nigerian psyche from ground-up.

intimidation keh? no way. absolutely no regard. i fine small.. i have won most handsome awards in school, work etc. but i have rarely ever got a direct compliment from a naija girl. most compliments i ever got from childhood were from naija guys(not gays). but i've noticed naija yankee girls are generally more effusive with their compliments than our local naija sisters. personally i think its a culture thing i havent fully understood and the poverty level that makes our girls hold back.

implicit in this facile argument is that all fish are inherently the same. I don't care, even if you've slammed 10,000 broads in your life like wilt chamberlain there'll always be that one special catch.

great mikel interview, very articulate guy.

has this country ever produced a dollar billionaire under thirty? all this geezers dont inspire me.

ur interviewer just wants to know if u can talk intelligently. That is all. Theres no right or wrong answer. i'll go with the bigger than the sum of our parts narrative and use examples(effective teams blah blah blah) if i were on the hot seat. just basically shooting the rag for 5-10 minutes without breaking a sweat

moscobabs: how many of ur children dey UNIBEN or AAU

Exactly.
his kids study/ied abroad...
typical hypocricy expected from thoughtless nigerian leaders...
That ur children attend nigerian universities does not automatically make u a selfless leader, granted.. but it does go a long way to 'show' that you empathize with da hustle of "ordinary" Nigerians. David Cameron who had the privilege of attending some of the best English schools in Eton and Oxford once publikly declared that his kids would attend state (or public) schools. If this happens and he eventually waxes lyrical about british youth patronizing english institutions, no one would accuse him of being hypocritical and not leading by example. But here, the opposite always reigns supreme. Oshiomole has no moral authority to exhort Nigerian youths to not give up on Nigeria simply because by his actions we have no reason to think he hasn't done so himself.

equation balance. associatiion of broke a.rss naija men is also moaing about the waning or nonexistent pool of cream chix to pick from. fair i say

the men i see doing the things in your list are not men in the mold of murray bruce, donald trump, fola adeola, psquare, wizkid, late senator chuba okadigbo, govnor fashola, or even the most able mechanic in ketu. alpha males who for the most part drip with bloodthirsty ambition. no time. we'll send the cheques instead
