We have heard enough of this preaching from time to time. Let me tell you this, I have always been proud of only good things that is done by Nigerians outside Nigeria. What is wrong with Nigerians in the country, don't tell me that we are all bunch of illiterates, cowards and hopeless people.
I think the only way to be hopeful in Nigeria is to be hopeless.

The question is are the Nigerinas abroad as proud of what Nigerians in the country have done? all i hear form most of them on tis site i show it sucks to be nigerian and how they wld never go back. . .

nobody called nigerians hopless, i said there is an increased feeling of hoplessness, like the country is doomed and wont get better. . . two differnt things, kapish?  

I think it has more to do with the celebration of the life of the person. . . depends on their age tho. . .

funerals are depressing, i usually dont hang around too long

We need to take responsibilty for the future of this country at our various levels. We call our leaders self-centred but many Nigerians only look out for themselves. We build more churches than schools and hospitals yet there is no evidence of commesurate dividends. I for one intend to play my part to make things better, no matter how little. I don't want my children and grandchildren to go through some things I've had to just because I am a Nigerian. However, it is not by mouth, it's by action and people need to be more active and talk less.

rather than obscure our visons with their rantings and prophecies of doom. . .  frm the comfort of the nations they use as a yard stick if i might add
_{did I hear someone say hypocrisy?}

Kobojunkie:
Listen, I am not whing. I just do not appreciate the idea that when things are bad, compare yourself to those worse off so you can feel better where you are.

I don't subscribe to that mentality cause I believe that is the reason why we have remained where we are to date.

We have so many comparing themselves to darfur and Zimbabwe as you yourself have done and at the end of the day, they loose all motivation to want to act to change things. Why? Cause they comfort themselves with the fact that they are not the worst. I was never raised that way, I am sorry. Infact, I  believe we should strive for the best not compare ourselves over and over with theworst. Fact is, we already know, after doing that for the last 30 years, at least, that that mentality does not work.

Guess what?? People in Zimbabwe also feel they are not the worst and so on -- that seems the way things go in Africa.

Well you can afford to cant u? from the comfort of a foreign nation. ,  if u really wanted to strive for the best as u claim, why not do it back in nigeria?

The people within the country have no hope and have lost sight of what good (no matter how little) there is in the country. . . Life is too short to be completely wrapped up in negativity. . . all this rants do nothing but paint the situation in a completely hopless light and cause people to resign themselves to their fate.

Without hope there cant be change, and how can we have hope when the likes of u have totally condemned the country.

_{call me a hopless optimist but I am a strong beleiever in counting ur blessings, and nigerians need to do more of that}

The Sly:
And come to think of it. . .
The situation in Nigeria is almost the same as that in Zimbabwe.


Well Seun has really been good to me o . . iono what u did, prolly u stepped on his toe but its all good tho .

you can't compare whats going on in zimbabwe to whats going on in Nigeria. . .  Mugagbe is obviously inhuman, at least there is a pretence at humanity in nigeria


_{u knw me now, i don't do fights, how cld i hav possibly stepped on his toe? . . . .well i'm beginning to suspect its personal, the reason he gave was not very clear and he wont reply to my email requesting clarification}

Kobojunkie:
We should be more grateful that we are not the worst?? UGH!!

"A Little More grateful"

we tend to make out Nigeria as te worst country in the world. . .

Forget Zimbabwe now,  look at the war in darfur, look at the oppression in the whole china Tibet crises, look at problems in Burma. ,  people are dying, not even given a chance to decide their own destiny.

Nigerians can still pack up and emigrate, y'all have done it and you come on the web to start spewing sh*t. Well u have the chance to, people in those countries dont, so maybe u shd look around u and take stock, u've got a chance at a better life, they dont! Heck, u've got life, they are as good as dead if they arent already.

Y'all a bunch of whiners and it just sickens me!!!  

The Sly:
Ha!. . .that would have been worse

im good jare. . i have deciphered your sexy self from day 1 u changed to this handle

I think then we shd all be a little more grateful, it cld have been worse. . .


_{wasnt really trying to hide, glad u noticed tho . . . dunno why seun did this to me, driving me up the wall}

The Sly:
I Started getting Fresher a week after i gave up on Nigeria. .
I deeply regret ever been a Nigerian!
A cursed nation that exhibits a blatant disregard to the existence of its citizens.

U'd say say that now. . . what if u where born zimbabwian? what will u have to say then?


_{BTW hey honey}

what if you met a guy who is extemely handsome and sexy and has a big heart for your feelings but has nothing upstairs not a pint of intelligence is not romantic and then you meet a really ugly smelly guy who has a romantic appeal, has money due to his intelligence but is easily offended. Would you take the ugly guy or the handsome guy or the ugly guy?

None of the above, I'd become a lesbian!  

Sagamite:

onyinye2:
to answer your first question, im houston, texas. born and raised. to answer your "nice chic" dressing, well it isnt necessairly my perception of what a nice girl wears. if you are nice girl, and you don't dress how people consider what nice girl wears, you are considered a tease. because you are dressing a certain way that displays a "wild chic".

so in summary, u hate your cloths!

u want to wear what the sleazebags wear but u don't want to be labelled a tease all the while gaining the admiration of the boys. . .  i see your dilemma now https://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/39.gif
