Not true. There are no slums in UAE or Switzerland.

Huh what did you just write...imo no talk this nonsense any other place....all the countries in the world have slum, including Switzerland and UAE...did you actually make any research or you just decide to just write your assumptions.....I am an architect, I do research about things like this, and yes Switzerland and UAE get slum .research and see. Thanks

If it means I can sleep for the whole night without hearing the sound of gun shots then I don't care...

Reflect7:


Abeg shut up. Is the US government not ''looking away'' as 40,000 Americans are shot dead annually by THEIR versions of Boko Haram, Bandits, and Unknown Gunmen?

As 70,000 Americans die from opioid overdose annually while US border officials turn millionaires through bribes from Mexican drug traffickers?

And 99.9% of people you see in that video and in similar settings are full-blooded, born-and-bred Americans, not 'immigrants'.

You really should not come online to tell lies and misrepresent facts.

Plus, which city do you live in in Nigeria, and why have the bandits not gotten to you, since they are everywhere, in your head?

99.9% of you hear about 'bandits' and 'Boko Haram' on television, but they have ZERO impact on your daily existence.

what you are saying makes no sense

The guy is deluded

When I see posts like these, I just marvel
The USA have problems
Just like every other countries
But the good outweighs the bad in the USA
Can you say same for this decrepit failing piece of shame of a country called Nigeria?
You talk of homelessness in Ameica
That's fine
Let's talk about unemployment in Nigeria
Its staggering
We have a lost generation in the labour market and it is only going to get worse.....
We have terrorists moving freely in Nigeria
With government complicity
Social mobility in Nigeria is very restrictive compared to the USA

Just quit making yourself look silly

UncleSnr:
But they have light.

They also have a path to upward social mobility
But they really have to work for it
The USA have had the highest number of success stories and grass to grace stories of both immigrant and local populations than any other country in the world
Despite its problems
The USA is a special country

How about this comparison
The best environs of the us vs the best environs of Nigeria
The suburban environs of the US vs the suburban areas of Nigeria
And the slums and hoods of the US vs the slums of Nigeria
Let's see how that will pan out

You DON'T pay tax in Nigeria.

Do not dare call that pittance you pay, ''tax''.

When you live and work in America or the UK, you will know what tax is.

we pay taxes!!!

Looks lyk gta san adreas

That’s true I didn’t see blacks there o

khia:
This is the hidden white America you will never see all over the news. Meth and opioids heads everywhere, and they aren't even arrested but given hot meals, clothing and clean needles by the cops to inject their drugs.

In the white community it's called a sickness that needs rehabilitation. There are white areas like this all across the US and there always have been.

Black addicts are beaten and arrested.
In the black community it's called a crime and they must be incarcerated.

Two Americas!!!

Fortune2016:


So the money collected by govt for tax in Nigeria is AWOF money abi

We are being scammed then

Which tax?

How much of your monthly income goes to tax?

In Philly?

RodgersAkpafu:

How would it make sense to you?

You've been programmed to believe anything American is good and anything Nigerian is bad.

Bizibi:
we pay taxes!!!

How much of your income goes on direct tax?

I don't know why people are arguing with the op. Please if that place is a slum and not befitting of him he should come back home. Or what pictures is he trying to portrayed? It is for people that want to travel to stay back or what? For all those of you abroad that will not see anything good there, I will only take you people serious when you all voluntarily returned back to Nigeria.

Reflect7:
Is This America or Is This Oshodi?

Welcome to Philadelphia, USA, where walking zombies, many homeless, poverty-stricken, high on meth, codeine, crack, heroin, and other deadly drugs, fill city streets!

Many pack guns underneath their shabby clothes, so you dare not start an argument with any of them or it's goodbye Mama!

The America CNN will never show you!!!

Please what are you trying to say? Are you saying that Nigeria is same as UK and US?

Unless you're not in Nigeria, I'd believe you are mad.

Whatever that is happening in USA is a fair cry to what is happening here. How many people will remain here if they bring ship and ask us to move to USA??

Nobody is saying that
All I personally am saying is....
The positives outweigh the negatives in the USA
And Negatives outweigh Positives in Nigeria, (and Africa as a whole)
There are good and bad sides to both countries

When you pay tax, you will know it.

Know the difference between tax and tariff.

Do you live in the west, US to be precise or Nigeria? Lets take it from here.

So op thinks he can just hop on Nairaland and make baselless comparisons,how astounding? If he lives in US then he is a big hypocrite.

chinjo:
What is the basis for comparism? Every country in the world has a slum. Besides, most of these settlements are occupied by immigrants. I would rather be in a slum in American than to be in a city in Nigeria where bandits and Boko Haram are having a field day while the government looks away.

I can least at least 20 countries in Europe alone without slum, no kidding. And even their own version of "slum" can never be compared to the US version. And even more sad that the US it the world largest economy, and richest.

And no, those slums are occupied by Americans mostly, not immigrants. Same way most prisoners are Americans not immigrants. America is fukced. There is no other way to slice it.

I've lived in both.
