justwise: I have my fear though, i really hope that Nigerians and other foreign students will not start abusing the Canadian 'generous' system, you remember 6-8 yrs ago UK used to be a soft-touch for student visa, maintenance money not required, fee upfront not needed, you will be given 3yrs for visa extension and allowed to stay back and work after graduation, all that is gone now because of the abuse of the system.

Rich4god: Everything in nigeria is just falling apart... We realy need a total overhaul(ing) of this nation. God help us.

Vicjustice: If her younger sister is 27 then she may be close to 30, and for her to win a beauty contest at such age means she is indeed a beauty

2CatWoman: I don't understand. I thought the whole point of this thread was to give reasons why you have 'personally' relocated. Seem some of the diasporans are the ones trying to justify themselves.

Another Okija: Because it only dawns on them after spending time abroad that the grass isn't actually greener..

I am one of those who made that bold decision to return after spending 1 year in Canada (as a permanent resident).. I applied to all the big companies and they kept turning me down for one useless reason or the other. The county then employed me to carry dustbins.. Then I got another job as a construction site cleaner.. Omo life wasn't easy and that wasnt what I bargained for when I took up the offer to live abroad..

Then I saw a medical doctor that was flipping burgers at a mac donald, saw my friend who worked in an oil company that still had to work in a bank on his off days to meet payments on his credit card bills.. OMO!! I immediately realised that I just left a gold mine to come pick scrap metals..

The taxes back home are not as insane as it is abroad.

I booked my flight and returned home to a better life jor. We may not have steady electricity, but I have an inverter and a big generator and can afford diesel.. I may not have government water, but I have a borehole.. The roads may be ridded with potholes, but thats why I drive a brand new car so it lasts longer, the security may be bad, but thats why I also have a dog, a single barrel remington shotgun (registered).. and I have a job that pays for al my bills and leaves me enough to save..

dasparrow: I am quite disappointed about the so-called new visa policy. So while countries around the world are guarding and tightening their borders, Nigeria is gladly opening hers. I don't know why our leaders can't seem to get it right. How can we boost tourism when there is no security and stability in the country? or do our leaders think the world is not aware that every sunday now, boko haram is blowing people up? How can we attract investors when we still cannot boast of 24 hours of uninterrupted electric/power supply?

Our leaders want to copy the west but they fail woefully at it because we are not organized as a nation. Even right now, we have many chinese, lebanese, and indian people in Nigeria who are not skilled migrants and are driving okada or selling in the market place so what happens when we start issuing visa at the port of entry? Foreigners who are conversant with the high levels of corruption in Nigeria will just bribe their way through. Mean while, other nations are busy deporting Nigerians anyhow, lol. We better wake up before we become strangers in our own land/turf/country. It seems we Nigerians don't think about the future.

naijasexy: Haha! Yes o, I am doing a lot better in that department now.I make a conscious effort to socialize when I can (which is not a lot, but oh well), that's one of the surest ways to build strong and long lasting relationships.


Thank you.

Reference: In essence there is a transition between a girl and woman, Miss and Mrs which requires a great deal of preparation and most men will look to see just how much construction or reconstruction is going on before buying into the project. I remain myself doesn't attract anything but spiders and cobwebs.

naijasexy: LOL @ emboldened! Nothing wrong with aiming for the best o.

@Post, so on point! May I add that some ladies who are overly introverted(like myself :p) don't take time to explore the world around them and therefore fail to meet and mix with many people, lack the appropriate social/communication skills that men find attractive and could just be downright boring? I don't think any man would want to have such for a wife.

Fhemmmy: Thanks for your understanding and please feel free to call me at Looking forward to rubbing mind with you too, Sir.

bashtee: pauloman: please would love us to relate more . Add me on facebook with my email addy ufeli_ocp@yahoo.com. Also would love to get ur number so i can call u up on phone. Cheers !

valencia25: I hope the TEN students that charge him get balls or Else

victorazy: The most important; Don't promise any babe marriage before leaving Nig.

manny4life: That's somewhat incorrect, it's recognized but it has to be evaluated. It might not be credit for credit, but it's something. Though I'm not familiar with Nigerian education system, however, most people have gotten their transcripts reevaluated here to meet transcript standard like the one here. The problem with people when they get here is not about the education part, but getting a job without papers. Without papers, you have to depend on your skills or you have to get the under-the-table jobs which isn't fun.

meforkene: Now u sound very disjointed..go and get ur transcript now and tell me how u love it..

Ideasroole: I totally disagree with you on this. Seriously, the name of any institution has got little or nothing to do with your individual capability and acquired skills maybe you were just trying to talk about the swagzzz that's attach to it.

hawtin: who cares?
i am not in for popularity contest
u should keep your ish private and not on nl
that is all i am saying!
i am responsible and don't need an online ghost to buttress that fact

Sweetlemon: Because life is not as rosy as people think for pretty girls! And as Nayah said they are ordinary flesh and blood with hearts which are just as vulnerable to pain as any regular girl on the street.

NIKKnJAZZ: Ummm...extremely good looking guys are vain, players, and whores. It's not making a generalization, it's real talk.

dayokanu: David, Jenny.


I think i disagree with you. Several times lifr throws curve balls and you cant predict where you would be the following day

I know several people with plum jobs that lost it and never recovered for life.

I know a friends brother who was a Manager at Oceanic always flying his family for vacation to UK etc that got laid off and cant just get back on his feet he now teaches at primary schools making less than 40K naira a month

Would you now say he wasnt educated, smart or was he lazy?

I know a person who had a BS and MS in Engineering from the best Universities in the UK way back in the 1970's lost his top management job in Nigeria in 1994 and never got anything till date after pushing buttons and going everywhere

Those two examples are ppl properly educated and hardworking but life just happened. Would you be wrong to have given your daughter in marriage to either of them?

The husband might have been a top exec in Nigeria when they were getting married.

Imagine a couple a Top Banker marries a Nursing school graduate in Nigeria, The man would be earning like time 5 of whatever the woman earns now both of them migrate to the West US, UK etc chances are that due to the demands of the new society the woman might be the one earning more money

So the champions of yesterday has become the Sluggard of today and vice versa, Thats life

Fulaman198: 1. Her character/Personality
2. Her morals and relationship with God
3. Her body from head to toe

Nayah: loool however, I can't really talk because at least she dare present herself in this kind of pageant, I think we should support her

Nayah: Not so sure Sylvie Nduka was not a bomb when she won!
