I respect you a lot (and still do) but was highly disappointed at this question. Hard to even come up with a reason why it was asked.

No, Nigerians are not savages. We have not fallen to the level you innocently asked of above. Nigerians will not stand aside and take pictures of children bleeding to death. I won't, my family won't, my friends won't.

Hope this answers your question.

No??

So how d'you explain this?

Peeps like this lady here: https://www.nairaland.com/2938462/meet-hope-2-year-old#42993833, are those I admire. . They try to help the situation and not all about complaints and blames..

If you can form a foundation and help some of the 'bad' situations mentioned here, then why don't you?

But the lady in question is a foreigner, isn't she?

Where were all the so-called "kind hearted" Nigerians within that child's vicinity for the 8 months he was left to his own devices roaming the streets, whilst the life slowly drained out of his little body?

Or was the child in the middle of the dessert on his own? It laughable you say you admire the lady who came to his rescue. A lady, who under normal circumstances would be viewed as "irresponsible" with all her visible tattoos, doing the decent, human thing. Why did it have to be a foreigner showing Nigerians the right thing to do?

What she demonstrated was basic human empathy. A basic emotion, (judging from how long that child was ignored) which apparently isn't that basic amongst your average Nigerian.

Bro calm down, no be fight.

We won't watch a child bleed, but we will watch a child slowly die of neglect and hunger on the road side.

We won't watch a child die, some Nigerian kidnap pregnant women, reap the child from their wombs and pound it as charms??

Terrible things are happening, the moment we start to accept that there are terrible pple among us, dats wen we can start to ask how do we get rid of them.

tearoses:
This always happens on threads like this

The us vs them which is a shame cos we spend so much talking but nothing gets done

I think that the truth should continue to be said and I speak from experience. Not everyone can start law suits and be on ground but every little helps.

We all have relatives in Nigeria and many of us were brought up in Nigeria and Nigeria still remains our identity and our roots before anywhere else.

Some Govt officials do take on board what's happening and try to effect change where possible. That I know first hand. Its just that omi po ju oka lo
(the water is more than the yam flour)

It was on this NL that I came when some rouge govt officials extorted money from me & with no receipt.
We received a call from one of the SA's to the governor the same day the post hit fp.
He was livid that they were bringing the name of his gov to disrepute. in the meantime the govt officials were also calling and begging me to come and collect my money. They even wanted to buy me credit so I could call the SA and beg on their behalf.
I'm almost certain that this wont happen again and those particular govt officials will behave themselves henceforth and save other innocent people from going through this.

Please let us say the truth about how things are and the issues that Nigerians are facing. Little drops of water make a mighty ocean.
The patriotism and and the love for a better country makes me cry out at all the injustice and the wrong that I see.

People say that if you have money you will enjoy.....
Unless you will put on dark glasses and not see all the beggars and kid hawkers on the road and not see things like that poor 2 year old abandoned witch boy, 5 kids on an okada on the way to school and not be moved by all that, then you can enjoy Nigeria.

Unless we fly from Ikeja to island and dont loose our wheels in muddy filled potholes after rainfall then we can enjoy
Unless we dont have hungry and poor extended relatives then we can enjoy.
I dont see any enjoyment when our own fellow human beings are suffering who just by luck are on the outside of our air conditioned jeeps.

Now dats common sense.

Exactly the point I have been trying to make, but thru no fault of their own people have become desensitised to the sufferings of their fellow human beings.

And life has become a culture of me, myself and I.

As for the government official issue u went thru, well if it was now , nothing wud very happened be cos there won't be any chance of it getting to front page, unless u manage to include a pix of some celebrity taking a poo in their toilet.

Start from Sunday check all the front page news, and ask urself, which of these are supposed to help make life better for us and our fellow citizens.

Now I see the aim of your argument; to demonise Nigeria. . I thought you cared but I was wrong, it's still same same blame, bla bla bla...

Yes Nigeria needs help, You know that..how have you tried to help in your little way? That young lady in the write up saw the help needed by Nigeria and she's helping out in her own way... She didn't try to state the obvious that Nigeria is this that and that, rather she's making things right with her actions. .
However, all you guys do here is talk talk talk, blame, bla bla bla .. no action at all which is useless. . You folks that are enlightened, why don't you be change you want to see?

Since you ain't here to offer solution, I will say stop crying more than the bereaved.. You have a good life abroad, don't you? Enjoy it and leave us to 'toil' here in Nigeria na... why all the rants since you ain't affected?

What you people don't know is that Nigeria is still a developing country with so many ignorant peeps who do things thinking they're right... Comparing it with a developed country is useless. . Hopefully, Nigeria will be better. ..

People on NL fought to raise funds for a little girl in a SW state so she could get heart surgery in India, total strangers met her mum at the airport to send her off with goodwill and prayers. Her mother has never met any of the hundreds who helped save her little girl. They were average Nigerians.

You that you know better because you live in a sane climate, what have you done for your community in Nigeria? Have you sent some money to that lady's foundation? I'm not fighting anyone, but to all whom are screaming "Nigeria is evil", what have you all done to mitigate or even change society? If you've done nothing, how are you all better than those who live here and do nothing?

Well then, let's change it. Let us generate intelligent content. The content of FrontPage is to attract the most views and celebrity news sells. Those daft threads exist to power sensible threads. Everyone in media is suffering from that banality: if you've gotta put a pic of a Kardashian on your news outlet so you get clicks to read about serious stuff, so be it. Sad but welcome to the 21st century.

We are a selfish people. Nigerians (diaspora and local) have the same mindset (I can count the number of Nigerians I met volunteering abroad, they only showed up if it was church-related). Be the change you want to see. It starts with you.

Timbuktou:
Oh, now I get it. Silly me. The money Nigerians in the diaspora send is gradually, but surely changing the security and infrastructure situation amongst other things. Why didnt you just say so before?

I speak on the things that affect me or have the potential of doing so. When foolish Nigerians want to copy and paste culture and practices from other countries, I have every moral right to show them how good or bad their recommendations are. If they weren't trying to smuggle in silly custom custom wherever theybarebalong with their all-important forex, I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

By the way, have you staryed praying for my visa approval? 2016 must not pass me by. This year is my year. I must give my own testimony in church of how I'm finally moving to a civilised place and will be remitting money to boost the Nigerian economy.

With all due respect, your comments on this thread are extremely silly. Let me show you how.

The money Nigerians in the diaspora send to Nigeria annually amounts to millions of dollars. If your governments did what sane, morally sound governments do in the West, the contribution to the national income by Nigerians in the diaspora would be invested in security and infrastructure.

[size=18pt]Are you still claiming Nigerians in the diaspora do nothing to solve the country's problem and thus have no right to highlight how bad things are? [/size]

Your problem is not the West or the Nigerians from the diaspora, it is rather acute ignorance. Therefore, the more Nigerians drop their egos and contrast the conditions in developed countries with the conditions in developing countries the better.

And you better stop worrying about the influence of Western cultures and start worrying about the mindset of your own people. People who in the 21st century still believe in witchcraft and abandon their little child for the same reason.

https://www.nairaland.com/2938462/meet-hope-2-year-old#42986465

And guess who showed loving kindness to the boy and saved the child from the cruelty of his own parents? A white lady. No Nigerian, no Nigerian politician and no Nigerian church.

In a developing country these same parents would be held accountable for such decisions and this child would not have to live on the street for months.

The question is.. how does talking it here help the situation?
I really doubt if the white woman that helped the boy accused of witchcraft went about badmouthing Nigeria. . She saw the help needed and ACTED accordingly. . It's mostly we Nigerians that badmouth our own country while doing nothing or something close to nothing. . Besides, everyone already knows that 'everything' is wrong with Nigeria. . Should we applaud people for stating the obvious?

My point is.. ACTION speaks better in this regard. . That's all..

Someone opened this thread and asked what to expect from relocating to Nigeria and people shared their views and experience. I see nothing wrong with it. So again, do I first need to lay open what I have already done for the country before I express myself?

And how is silencing people a solution?

Look at this foool. What have you, in your stewpidity done to enthrone a responsive, responsible government? Talk about it? Grumble about it? Your brain is incapable of grasping basic principles. Monkey, show me where i have praised Nigerians or the Nigerian government. How many posts have you made in the politics, education, business sections of nairaland to spur real activity? How much do you know about the local government you come from? How much are you planning to contribute politically? You're sending money but you dont even know how the money is being utilised. Are you sending this money for communitybdevelopment or are you sending it to your family and friends to have something to eat and maybe build you a house?

How do your remittances to your parents and siblings improve the state of healthcare or the standard of education? When they say diasporans send money home you think the money goes to Nigeria's accounts. It helps the economy mainly by increasing purchasing power and stimulating local trade mumu.

Why do I even bother? Abeg, stick to mother-in-law / daughter-in-law sensationalist threads. You might have something sensible to say there.

EfemenaXY:
No??

So how d'you explain this?

https://www.nairaland.com/2937508/amazing-transformation-abandoned-nigerian-witchcraft

My response was tailored to your question. I played the scene in my head and couldn't come to terms with the picture I was seeing. Not with the Nigerians I know.

EfemenaXY:
Lord have mercy.

Cococandy & Bebe2, question for you on the point made earlier on about people having no empathy, even for victims of road accidents. If children are involved, do people in Naija still stand aside, snapping pic and videoing them as they bleed to death??

An0nimus:
I respect you a lot (and still do) but was highly disappointed at this question. Hard to even come up with a reason why it was asked.

No, Nigerians are not savages. We have not fallen to the level you innocently asked of above. Nigerians will not stand aside and take pictures of children bleeding to death. I won't, my family won't, my friends won't.


Hope this answers your question.

The picture you provided strays from the specific nature of your question. Even at that, I may not know whoever was behind what's in the image provided, I can however bet that all around the world there are bad eggs who have done similar.

Actually talking about it HERE does help.
I'm surprised folks are being asked to shut up.
The problem with this kind of thing is that it becomes an us versus them kind of thing because some people can't get rid of their prejudices and see what you're trying to say just for the sake of it.
When I lived in Nigeria I was VERY VERY VOCAL about the shyt going on around me everyday.
No one thought I was feeling better than anyone.
Relocated now and I can't speak my mind again just so some people won't catch feelings and think I'm talking because I live abroad. Seriously.

Okay how have I helped?
How do I help a situation where almost every govt office you go to for some document of some sort, you're fleeced and made to pay bribe before you can be given the attention for which the workers are employed and paid?
Will I sack them? The best I can do is talk about it and maybe shaming them will do something who knows.

Am I supposed to provide ambulances and emergency health care for all Nigerians before I'm allowed to say it scares me that me or my loved one could be dying by the road side without any help being rendered?

Am I supposed to pay all govt workers before I can say how horrible it is that people are being owed 10months salaries where the governor even threatens to sack anyone who dissents too much.
Something that can't happen anywhere else except countries like Nigeria where we have learned to accept whatever is done to us and not question authority.

Pls and pls, no one on this thread is more patriotic than another.
If people say what they dislike about the country it doesn't mean they are being (insert right word).

And no it's not everything you can remedy without talking about it.
If I could, I'd have built hospitals and provided ambulances and trained paramedical teams for every area in Nigeria so anywhere one finds themselves in an accident, they can be attended to urgently.
If I could I'd pay all the govt workers that are being owed nonchalantly by the high 'n' mighty.
If I could I'd sack all those workers who make a mockery of the civil service and cause frustrations for their fellow citizens.

But since I can't, I WILL TALK ABOUT IT!!!!.

If you visit American websites and forums, they talk smack about what's going on in their country that they don't like. They even talk nastier than I've ever read on this forum. You'd think they were talking about some place you've never visited that exists in hell. Yet these are people that don't know you could be owed 10 months salary and told to go to hell if you don't like it.
I just read their comments and laugh sometimes.


Point is: Because something bad is going on somewhere else doesn't mean it's okay for it to happen in your hood too.
That's fallacy of two wrongs making a right.

"Yeah well it happens in the west too so we guess it's okay". Not it's not.
So we must talk about it.

Doing charity (which is the most anyone can do to help) may make things better for a few less privileged but it won't guarantee the future or safety of our kids.

Policy changes and change in orientation are what will make the difference. And we can't get here by shutting up about it.

@timbuktou this is a young lady who actually TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK,not all these one claiming sending 100 euro to their family members thinking they are doing something.

[b]A 29-YEAR-OLD woman who founded West Africa’s first air ambulance service has been named on Africa’s 30 Under 30 list as one of the continent’s most promising entrepreneurs.

Ola Orekunrin, who graduated from the University of York as a qualified doctor at 21 – one of the youngest ever to take the doctor’s Hippocratic Oath in Britain, founded Flying Doctors Nigeria after her younger sister’s death.

The doctor, now 28, recalls her family’s desperate attempts to save her sister when she fell ill while traveling in Nigeria.

The 12-year-old girl needed urgent care but the nearest hospital couldn’t deal with her condition

Orekunrin said she and her family immediately began looking for an air ambulance service to rapidly transport the youngster, a sickle cell anemia, to a more suitable healthcare facility, but found there were none in the whole region.

“The nearest one at the time was in South Africa,” she told CNN. “They had a 12-hour activation time so by the time they were ready to activate, my sister was dead.

“It was really a devastating time for me and I started thinking about whether I should be in England talking about healthcare in Africa, or I should be in Africa dealing with healthcare and trying to do something about it.”

[size=18pt]She sold her assets and left a high-flying job in the UK to set up Flying Doctors Nigeria, the first air ambulance service in West Africa, transporting victims of medical emergencies, including industrial workers from the country’s booming oil and gas sector[/size].[/b]

Guess how many robbers there were in total?

Seven. Four on the outside, and three in the roof.

Harrowing experience. They were lucky. An inlaw's aunt wasn't that lucky. He (and others) received her distress call but within an hour, her husband was shot dead.

Oh God!! Shot dead?! Nigeria is my country. Its tough making money abroad. But I can never regret relocating abroad. Whenever I complain my Man will quickly remind me that I should never forget my luck in this this country. . eople. I agree with Bebe, our attitude is our major issue.

You must think you made sense,don't you? and this suppose 2 hurt me?
YES, i am a young lady who has 2 siblings abroad and YES my brother and dad helped open the salon for me including my income,i in turn employed two young ladies to work and make a living at 25.I am a hardworking young lady,i could have sit my butts at home and wait for my "abroad siblings" to send for me or marry americana , but u see my common sense wanted 2 stay home and do SOMETHING for myself!
My brother didn't bash nigeria when he sent money,he knows he needs to do his best for his family unlike u,what have you done? What have you ever achieved?with all the intelligence u claimed to have,nothing in your name. The reason i didn't even bother 2 answer u because you are the most confused poster ever,i bet u even confused urself. I went trough ur posts and when u were carefreewannabe,see no matter how you try to act all mature by comingback claiming u are in ur thirties and married with kid,ur true self keeps coming back.

It is my money and i can do whatever the f^ck i want!I learned my lesson and i am very wise now.
Go worry about ur confused self.

There has never been a terrorist attack in Germany. Nobody sleeps under the bridge here. Asylum seekers live in good homes provided free by the government. I have one of such homes very close to my house. Beautiful duplex for about 4 or 5 of them. I can close work by 2,3am midnight and walk the streets of Germany at that time without a single fear in the world. No pickpockets, no robbers, no ritualists. Trains and other means of transportation working effectively even at odd hours.

Mindfulness:
First of all, nobody said they were better but we all know the differences between highly developed and developing nations.

Secondly, you don't know most people here so stop making it personal. You don't know how many of us were born abroad, you don't know how many of us grew up abroad and you don't. know how many of us are mixed.

Thirdly, whole families would be starving without the money we are sending to Nigeria. Who knows? Maybe the whole economy would collapse without the money made in the diaspora.

Fourthly, plenty of people have described how they miss Nigeria but at the same time expressed how hopeless they feel about the country. Can you blame them?

Fifthly, even Albert Einstein, who you like to quote every now and then, left his home country to live abroad instead of fighting a fight he couldn't win.
It is a question of personal choice, which we all, including you, are entitled or not entitled to.

Mindfulness, is this an indirect way of letting us know that you come from a family that lives in abject poverty in Nigeria? The entire family?

Did you seriously type that bit about the whole economy collapsing without the money from diaspora? Lmao....
You really do have a big chip on your shoulders considering how you're sending all your hard earned money to help your family and boost Nigeria's economy...

Don't mind these people. I just found the comments preceding mine ridiculous. The first set of group of commenters live in this country and obviously want to run off to well-managed countries so they can bend their necks and "talk about how messed up Nigeria is," MMA2 that they bail from is literally in Nigeria. How much did the ones who have left do before becoming saints in whatever paradise they currently reside in, after all, they are products of this Nigeria. They are, or were, literally average Nigerians; or is now a case of becoming a new creature soon as you become a resident of a foreign address? It's all just meh..

Anyway, don't mind the attempt by St. Mindfulness to mock your past. That's the way they do it in saner environments, hypocritical bìtch moves. They're the masters of passive aggression.

Do I have to make a list of all the things my husband and I have done before and after we met each other for people and whole communities in Nigeria before I am allowed to speak?
Like seriously?

Whole communities?

Are you like that nerd who spends most of her time on the internet in front of a computer making millions enough to feed an entire community (singular), not to mention communities (plural)?

Where's the news article of your generosity? Like no news outlet covered you helping whole communities?
Such huge contribution to whole communities surely couldn't have gone unnoticed, don't you think?

You type like a delusional person with a God compex...
