Billyonaire:Thank you for making this point. Solar panels plus batteries to store the power will save you money, in the long run. I'm lost as to how this technology has escaped many people - including the so-called 'educated'. |

Billyonaire:shatap your mouth. blatant lie. Even if your father is the highest thief stealing from naija treasury he can't afford 24/7 power in naija. Stop feeling as if u are special here, after all OP won't even notice u. Who in Nigerian doesn't know we lack basic immunities ![]() OK let me invite EFCC to your house for using 24/7 light in a day, 30 days in a Month, 365 days in a year and since u were born no blackout in your house. And u think this is not a lie. ![]() |

vokalguy:That's just an excuse. Nigeria is gold mine. Do not discourage the woman from coming back to her root. Most people are poor because they are ignorant of the opportunities in this country. Eg, Do you know that the Federal Government has made provision of 5 million naira for every Nigerian under the Federal Housing Programme payable for a 20yrs tenure with 3 yrs moratorium. That all you need is to do is apply for it through any Primary Mortgage Institution ? I bet you did not know, and others are enjoying it. Ignorance kills. Even in US, if you generate Green Energy, government gives you rebates. |

Glamrock:I have lived in Nigeria and America, and you are going against the current. Nigerians are worse off than they used to be. When I left, the currency exchange rate was N5 = $1.00 TODAY it is N199= $1.00 1. I highly doubt that African Americans will be extinct in 100 years. What's your source? Will America be extinct in 100 years? White, Blacks, Asians and Latinos all eat the same food. 2. There are warmer climates in America and it does get cold in Africa. 3. You shouldn't drink Nigerian tap water. It doesn't have fluoride, and you can get sick ftom it. 4. Visit Houston, Atlanta and Maryland and make friends with Nigerians. Hell, ask them to teach you what you want to learn. Take a vacation to Nigeria If you haven't done so. 5. Some Nigerians will never accept you, we even have a derogatory word for African Americans. Never heard of it? You don't know enough Nigerians. 6. Materialism....lol, you think Nigerians are not this way? We have people living on less than $5/day and church pastors with private jets and Bentleys living in Nigeria. We have some of the best scams in the world. Have you heard of 419 and yahoo-yahoo? 7. If you move to Nigeria, will you be taking your daughter? If so, are you married? If not, do you plan on marrying a Nigerian? Nigerians don't like women with "baggage." 8. Unfortunately, most Nigerians don't have any desire to move back to the country, because our leaders have no interest in development. Read saharareporters.com 9. You listen to ancestors...interesting. Don't go telling Nigerians that you can do that. Most will tell you that you are a ritualist or possessed by demons. Most Nigerians are extremely religious, but it's mostly an act. We pray so God can bless us with material wealth. 10. I understand how you feel. Racism, police officer shooting of unarmed black men. It's not easy, but the Nigerian police is worse. We have tribalism in Nigeria. The south and the north share a deep hatred that goes back decades. We even fought a civil war. If after everything I've told you, and you are determined to move to Naija, then please get to know Nigerians in America and travel to Lagos Abuja Port Harcourt Calabar |

lestat:Sir,the USA is no heaven/paradise especially for the 'coloured people'.I'm very sure the OP can't mention all her negative experiences.Even our Nigerian brothers and sisters who live in the West face many challenges but they don't say anything.Don't you know what is happening in Ferguson?When they were giving the verdict on the policeman who shot Michael Brown,the Police preferred to guard white neighbourhoods from looters rather than protect black businesses.Isn't that discrimination?Have you ever experienced racial discrimination in your life?To be viewed as a criminal,drug dealer or intellectually inferior simply for the colour of your skin?Abeg,let me stop here |

@Glamrock. This's exactly what Bro. Marcus Garvey called for centuries ago. And if you do you wouldn't be the first. Many African Americans have already relocated. And as far as I'm concerned, until a blackman/woman fulfill this return the soul of their ancestors will weep forever. But even if you don't want to relocate you can always at least visit. You can always come and go. This's a spiritual journey and people may not understand just how you feel. You're the only one that understand your pain. I wrote a song on this topic called Africa is your homeland and would be releasing it later this year or next year. Check it on iTunes then, artiste name: Africason. AFRICA IS YOUR HOMELAND. Bro Marcus Garvey told you All blackman in DIASPORA All blackman in ARABIA All blackman in ASIA All blackman in AMERICA All blackman in EUROPE All blackman in CARIBEAN All blackman living everywhere X2. Africa is your homeland X6. Africa is your homeland X6. Africa is your homeland X6. Africa the mother of creation. Let build Africa your motherland. Come to Africa your motherland. Let build Africa your motherland. Africa the mother of creation. Let build Africa your motherland. All blackman should come home X6. All blackman should come home X6. All blackman should come home X6. Africa the mother of creation. Let build Africa your motherland. Come to Africa your motherland. Let build Africa your motherland. Africa the mother of creation. Let build Africa your motherland. Africa is your homeland X6. Africa is your homeland X6. Africa is your homeland X6. |

mmsen:Sometimes I wonder why people do not key into it. I grew up with determination that I must produce energy enough to stay off National Grid. At this moment, I am working on how to get rid of the generator. Sometimes I do not turn it on for 2 weeks, because electricity is better within my estate. Apart from that, we have lots of apartments estates now that generate electricity and sell to tenants using their customized meters. If I was not using my solar system, I would have simply connected to these larger estates to supply my electricity needs while I simply put money into the meters. The options are enormous for me. I will never live without electricity for a day. It is my determination and I am succeeding. |

Billyonaire:Honestly I did not know that. That sounds good and all and I hope many Nigerians will take advantage of the program. My problem or should I say my worry is that basic amenities like water, electricity, good roads etc are still lacking. It is 2015, if you want to have a successful business, you need these amenities. I just want to see my country do well but the so called leaders are not doing their job well. That is just my opinion |

Billyonaire:our noisemaker storyteller strikes again even the ceos/ ogas in my company stop at 27kva. do you have any idea how mych you will spend daily on diesel on a 60 kva generator? then your bizarre lie about a 30kva inverter in a domestic setting. please tell us where you keep the batteries and how you maintain same. you are pathetic. on other pages you will be celebrating 3000mw, now you are making shameless excuses for a national failure. |

No offence but I do think the OP was just, erm, howdo you say it - joking? |
| Re: 10 Reasons Why I'm Leaving America And Moving To Nigeria by RotrEmmanuel: 2:28pm On Mar 15, 2015 |
Billyonaire:This is what I'm saying, this dude is just a proud idiioot. The poor can't afford Generating set and u saying its not an excuse for not having light 24/7 here in Nigeria ![]() how people reason and feel big here in naija #SMH |

Billyonaire:From what I've seen they'd rather give their money to the church than use it for something worthwhile. It's a question of priorities - whenever I hear people claim that there is no money in Nigeria I always shake my head. |

vokalguy:Yes, the Housing Loan has always been there, but lots of people are not aware of it, and the few people that are aware of it are taking advantage of it. Electricity is expensive but believe me any smart person that considers solving his electricity needs will not live a day without electricity for basic needs. Even if you live in a one room apartment, you can afford a little inverter with few panels that generate enough to light your home and electronics. Its just ignorance. |

On number 10, u dont know what u are saying. Whites are the best people in the world, u will learn when u get home to nija, that time u will see how much rights u got in ur own country. The problem with us blacks is that we are not responsible simple! Pls dont waste ur time going over Travor Martin, and that other Ferguson black teen that got killed - only deluded blacks will buy that crap about their been 'unarmed', here in igeria u wont even need to wrestle a police officer's gun, just insult him verbally and see if u will live to tell it on Black awareness magazine |
