No power, and you get to pay more for the epileptic supply.
You dig your borehole or buy water for consumption.
Cost of food is skyrocketing on a daily basis.
Security concerns dry there. Police will extort you and claim they are your friend.

Why won't someone think of renouncing naija citizenship for a better citizenship

blackberlin:
Sometimes I don't blame someone like this. A lot of people don't enjoy anything as citizens of Nigeria. But I know there's hope for Nigeria. . . The more people wake up and hold politicians and public office holders responsible for their actions, the better for us all.

We really need to spring up. . . Nigeria has great potentials with its vast population of hardworking and innovative citizens.

Just give us electricity in Naija, as in... South Africans will come and be washing plates here (no offence S/A).

fSociety:
Lol. Like you have a choice.

EnigmaticEnigma:
You mentioned Dino, Ibori and the rest, but you didn't mention one single Yoruba person.

I hope we can see why this country needs to be separated.

Untill then Yorubas will keep hailing Tinubu, Igbos will hail Ibori and northerners will hail IBB.

To me the question of migration depend on a lot of things, and u are entitled to your own decision.
but what gets me annoyed is the bashing u guys keep throwing at ur motherland, when u all contributed to what it is 2day dere was a time wen electricity was constant, were jobs were available, where basic social amenities were on hand and the naira had more value dan the dollar, and gradually things started spiraling down hill.

something went wrong somewhere

America was nt always like that the mindset of the people had a lot to do with hw America became a world power now that u guys are nw rushing there.

what made America great was nt the leaders, but the people!!

And what made Nigeria from a promising vibrant country to the shambles it is today is the people?

A monster that has eaten deep in the fabric of our bleeped up society, a monster that has eaten deep into every Individual, every sector, a monster that has become a part of our life, a monster called CORRUPTION

Over 400 billion dollars stolen since independence and still counting, billions of dollars stolen every month, every sector, the federal government, the state government, the local government, the ministries, contractors, the private sector, the Judiciary, the law enforcement, Health sector, Churches, are all a bedrock of massive corruption.Trillions spend on electricity with nothing to show for it a meager 3000, while other countries are generating hundreds of thousandsThe allocations state governments and local government recieves that should have been used on boosting the economy of each state and infrastructure have all been stolen, Lagos for example is a bedrock of the highest corruption i have ever seen It economy is one of the best in africa due to massive IGR, but the infrastructures are one of the worst, decayed and rotting d problem of corruption in nigeria is nt d leaders.

its d people, we are naturally selfish, self centered, greedy, destructive its in our blood we were born with it, we all contributed in destroying dis country, we love corruption, we encourage it, we justify it and we are currently enjoying the dividend our religiousness doesn't help either cus we wallow in religion hypocrisy, so morrally we are decayed, religion wise decayed, society decayed and d same society will keep on producing fools as leaders.

WITHOUT THE CHANGING OF THINKING, MINDSET, CULTURE, HABBIT OF THE PEOPLE, NOTHING WILL EVER WORK.ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD STRONG INSTITUTIONS.

Change must come from within.....

Christianity that would have helped us has been abused and being turned into religion hypocrisy.



Now for those of you in diaspora before u come here and speak trash abt Nigeria, think, what did i do to bring abt a positive difference when i was here, in my own little way, was i right in my day to dealings, did i obey basic rules and order, what did i do to bring a positive change to my surroundings and my mother land.

Now for those in Nigeria, who are spewing trash here and abusing those who are trying to tell i from experience that the grass is nt potentially greener on the other side,

The thing is only a dumb, lazzy ass fool, who does nt think will say there is no opportunities for you to be the best u can be here

Nigeria with its unique environment and endowments all i see is potential upon potential, by looking at d pictures frank are posting alone, am already having ideas of more business opportunities alone.

Nigeria as developing country with a population of 180 million people is a gold mine of businesses opportunities for serious minded people sectors like

TRANSPORTATION (Its an industry worth billions of dollars)

MANUFACTURING

FOOD PROCESSING

SALES

ICT
ADVERTISING

ENTERTAINMENT

AGRICULTURE (The potential and opportunities in agriculture alone is mind boggling they are thousands, potential worth billions of dollars)

was reading abt how 3 million foolish, unproductive nigerians invested over 18 billion naira on a ponzi scheme, imagine if that money had gone into lets say agriculture alone.

there would have been tremendous effects

Myself as an example run a company founded by me that has investment in some of this sectors, and am comfortable and happy, i earn a 7 figure income monthly and i continue to invest more and expand and also lecture other also, i have people employed people under me and i try to be honest in all my dealings

now i have done 4 things

1. In my own way have contributed to the country's economy

2. reduced unemployment

3. make my own contribution in taxes.

4. reduce corruption on my own path and in my own environment.

All these at the age of 19

now what have you done for your country?

Conclusion: If you want to leave, leave but dont come online spewing trash abt your motherland and displaying an high level of ignorance.

selflessmaya:
Nigerians like talking nonsense. the reason a lot of Nigerians are still talking "e go better" is because they haven't crossed the borders of this country to see how beautiful life can be. in 2017, someone is still saying "when we have electricity, we shall..." and then have the nerve to make fun of those who worked their way out to a place that is so much better than your "we shall..." dream land, many comments here are making fun of this guy as if they wouldn't trade places with him in a heart beat if they had the opportunity, he has acquired permanent residence already, he can stay in the EU for life, now he's qualified for citizenship & nigeria is doing what it does best, holding citizens back, he'll still acquire german citizenship, they have exceptions for ppl in his shoes, he just needs to show proof that he tried and failed which he now has.
I used to be hopeful for nigeria too but it will not get better anytime soon. it does not nurture potential, it does not reward hardwork, it does not encourage ambition. the best grow up and discover they can do better and move abroad, massive brain drain happening in this country, only the ppl with no opportunity stay behind, how can such a country progress, even those living in the country save money to give birth in the US, those kids will grow up and run off with their black passports. no security, no order or professionalism (those who have crossed customs/immigration at the airport severally can relate) no infrastructure. someone working at mcdonalds in london earns more than a doctor in nigeria and enjoys better quality of life. no one really loves nigeria, they just have no choice.
Nigeria is not a country, it's a business, few are profiting and the others are suffering and smiling, rejoicing when those who escaped nigeria have problems, misery loves company.

zanogo:
says someone from a tribe that reeks of inferiority complex,your lots are just comedians,most people knows ibos impersonate yorubas on this forum....NOBODY gives a Bleep about you or your account.

JustinSlayer69:
Thank you Sir for one of the few adult comments here.

There are few places abroad where Blacks are not discriminated against. I can bet racism is far worse than the ethnic bigotry we exhibit here.

No matter how green the pasture might be abroad, the truth is, you would always be a second class citizen.

It shamed me when I saw 100s /1000s distinguished and rich looking people being shepherded like goats at the US embassy.

Things are bad here, but we residents should change our own lot. Whites are where they are today because they didn't run from their responsibilities. They stayed to figure it out and solve their own problems.

It makes me laugh when an engineer in Nigeria would travel out and rather be a janitor in the US.

Pchidexy:
Do you earnestly believe Nigeria will be better. Tell me some of the signs you ve seen to believe so.

redcliff:
There is no hope. Since you were born and the stories your parents told you, have you not come to think that nothing can heal this country anymore? Like i said , there is no more hope for nigeria

1miccza:
My brother what do you expect when you try to take that step and the economy shuts you down without encouragement. Let's forget false patriotism and face the glaring truths.

cao:
You really should check your internet. In fact, my earlier post on this very thread gave the exact exceptions...

**adds screenshot again, since I know some folks are allergic to research or doing any additional work**

JustinSlayer69:
Yes I do. People still steal e.g. the 200m grass cutting saga...but believe me, if you have followed our democracy since 1999, you would know that there is more accountability than before.

All we need is a great leader who would actually develop Nigeria.

Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode all definitely enriched themselves but you can't dispute that they excelled compared to past Lagos Leaders.

EnigmaticEnigma:
So you can't even counter just one point?

I was excited seeing so many words in your response, hoping to at least find a point.

Kwarupshun:
I didn't choose to be Nigerian. If given a choice I wouldn't choose this curse at all.

No water, no electricity, no roads, no security, no food, no leader, all we have is witch craft. Someone can just fall on the ground and die.

I'm surprised most Nigerians haven't started commuting suicide already. Those that realise there is no hope opt for suicide as a means of a "Restart".

Pchidexy:
And where is Nigeria in the indices of development like: good roads, good health care, electricity, sanitation and general quality of life? Brother, you have to accept reality. We re retrogressing. When I was younger, we use to have electricity for close to 18hrs. Now, I don't know if electricity is still existing or not. Many things have gone wrong.

gypsey:
i think you will find that he has nothing else reasonable to add appart from making derogatory remarks and been obnoxious.

JustinSlayer69:
apart*

being*

Get an education first, Sir!

gypsey:
A country the President seeks medical treatments Abroad, Instead of building an adequate medical institutions in his own country, I Admire your optimism but Nigeria will never ever,ever ever ever get good let alone better.

JustinSlayer69:
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Read up on Malaysia, Singapore and UAE.

Ask Lagosians about what I wrote about their leaders. It all was a result of almost 18 years of sustained hardwork.

Yes they had huge allocations but what if their leaders had behaved as their predecessors and claimed Lagos was ungovernable? (that was what I said when someone from Lagos was lauding Fashola till I was shut up with progress made).

I have been around for decades, where and when did you have light for 18 hrs? Are you living in the same place still?

gypsey:
appart* is correct
Being* is as in human being . You still made no sense.
Stick with your rudeness and inadequate behaviours it suits you better.

JustinSlayer69:
If only you actually read my post, you would see where I criticized the grass cutting saga.

If you don't ever wish Nigeria to be good and your prayers are answered, why whine about it? And you actually have the option to leave (on a Nigerian passport )

Makes zero sense to me.

JustinSlayer69:


Thanks for making a fool of yourself. You could have refrained from mentioning me...
