The problem is, NIgeria is a third world country, with third world problems...

But even then, the guy is relatively rich, compared to Nigerians. As any rich person in the developed world can tell you, there are women and men like him that surround them. Being 'poor' in his country he never see anything.

Once recall reading about an American woman who recieved an inheritance that made her rich. Had to start taking measures to protect herself, even from members of her own family.

When Obama visited Kenya for the first time in 1986, one thing he noticed was how people were begging him for money all over the place.

The guy is expereincing what the rich in his country experience. Everything is relative.
majority of Nigeria are criminal and beggers case closed,it baffled me how Nigeria inflate price and behave like beggers with inferior complex when dey see someone with white skin

I always laugh when Nigerians say we are good people.
We are far from it....

We are the worst I have seen when it comes to welcoming strangers, everyone is after himself.
Anyone assisting you is doing so because of what they can get not out of will....

Is it an Igbo man who doesn't like the Hausa that will treat a foreigner with love?

Most of this is embedded in the poverty that reigns in the country.
Everyone is looking for what to milk and make a daily bread out of the other.

We can do better as a country.
Your ignorance strong.

If igbos no like hausa na wetin them dey do for north?

If you no clean your nyash na who go like you?

Keep living in lala land, don't wake up to the reality.
With all the tribal bashing everywhere
The other day Chukwueze missed penalty, didn't Sarki attack the Igbos the following day?

Assuming the narration is even the real and factual experience of a human being.

The issue is that most of us, because we are not in the category, don't understand the volume of warped mischief-makers out their online telling lies, spreading fake news and fabricating lies out of thin air in an attempt to work an angle or seek followers/likes/retweets etc

Every so called "real life narrative" online should be taking with a pinch of salt. If true though, then the guy is indeed an irritating nag. You'd have thought it's a 12 year old writing from his tone.
Them lie no reach that of you and your fellow agbadorians.

Una lies Dey shame the devil.

That just shows you how greedy Nigerians are, nothing fascinating about that country. A friend traveled to naija last year from US hoping to go enjoy naija, I was surprised when she called me and told me she cut her journey short seeing how everyone was behaving like criminals.
30 years back, even 10 years back things were better. APC made Nigeria worse this way to the point that people can do anything just so they can earn a living.

This kid is obviously confused
I'm not even surprised by his experience because that's what we experience too, everyday. Our ladies have turned dating into business ventures or poverty alleviation program. Sellers of goods and artisans are not satisfied by their normal profits and service charges, they want to inflate the prices and fees at any given opportunity and rip you off. So, I don't know why you guys think he's lying or confused.
Or, the petty stealing, armed robbery, kidnapping and burgling. One chance robbery is there too. Nothing is safe, no one is safe. And that's why your house is not completed without burglary, without perimeter fencing. We have accepted abnormal situation as normal and still ready to attack anyone who expresses their frustration or call them liar

It's because the returnee is aa brokey dude. Where in highbrow places do you see people fighting over a wrist watch ? even in Mushin you don't see such thing. The dudes parents must live in isale eko or some thug ridden area. The brokey dude should have gone to Ikoyi, Victoria Island to see the life Nigerians are living..I will not tell him to go to Banana Island otherwise he would think he was in heaven. Brokey.

Re: French Man Of Nigerian Origin Disappointed After First Visit To Nigeria by favour01234(m): 8:16pm On Jan 16
The truth is that you are not a Nigerian from inception. You have gone there to separate yourself from others. Alot of us who grew up in Nigeria can sustain ourselves in any state no matter the situation. You have gone there to raise your should up for them. What do you expect? I trust Naija naa.

Mr man what are you still doing in Nigeria na?
Oya carry your bag dey go back to France.
So this ewu Gambia came to Nigeria and he couldn't find one good thing to talk about the country even after touring 3 regions.
Carry your bad energy back to France.
I swear...

Who begged the mumu to come to Nigeria?

Honestly, Lagos is a big disgrace. It's even more annoying that most people who visit Nigeria pass through it and never go beyond it. LASG needs to start massive urban renewal to give the entire state a facelift.

As for the guy's experience, who doesn't know that most Nigerians are criminals, opportunists and hypocrites? 99.9% fall into one or more categories.
you are not smart but dull....crime rate in Paris is worst compare to Lagos

Bro come to Lagos and find 2 to 3 of your family or friends to take you around...Let them take you to the mainland, eat local food, go to Kalakuta for the arts, drink some palmwine, go to the beach(takwa bay if possible), go to ICM for the vibe and just observe, go to New African shrine on Sunday and watch Femi Kuti perform, go to Novare Mall on the island for view....It's important you don't rush anything or try and do it all in a day or do it all by yourself.
A lot of people are soo desensitised to peoples plight these days, cos everyone thinks everything these days is done with ulterior motives...Some will say its a story, some will say its content, some will say you're just seeking attention, just try tune them all out cos Nigerians these days have stopped believing in themselves so they find it hard to believe anyone else, take it easy man. Stay happy and sé jeje.
Try and learn pidgin ohh...it was a big help when I got back as well. And if you eventually choose Lagos try and learn Yoruba as well.

So everyone must be in Ikoyi or Victoria island or banana island to enjoy Nigeria?

No wonder your name is Segun.

Well, I tend to agree with the Frenchman. Truth be told, there are good and bad sides to Nigeria, but the bad outweighs the good.
