₦airaland Forum

I had a discussion with a very angry Nairalander a couple of days ago, which I here summarize.

Him: Nigerians abroad are there cleaning toilets. Life is tough here, but I will not go abroad and clean toilets.
Me: [/b]With that attitude, you cannot make it in life. First, you despise honest labor, secondly you are unlikely to recognize opportunity when it comes along.

[b]Him: I know you are also cleaning toilets in US. You are hopeless.
Me: Believe what you like. Do you know that the average American will do anything available just to stay afloat while waiting for the next great idea and next huge income opportunity to come along? The average Nigerian will spend the entire day cursing the leaders while waiting for big money to come strolling into his bedroom.

Him: [/b]In America they have regular electricity and easy transportation and that is why they succeed in business
[b]Me: Stop dwelling on what you don't have and use what you have to advantage. The average American might be a couple of salaries away from being homeless. You are possibly still living in your parent's home. The average American has very little time to use the electricity at home because he is out hustling, sometimes doing two jobs. Get off your ass and go hustle outside instead of waiting for easy money at home. The average American needs a car to get anywhere, unless they live in cities with integrated public transport and consequently higher cost of living. In most Nigerian cities you can travel from one end to the other in an hour using available transport.

[b]Him: [/b]Getat , Toilet Cleaner.
