theamerican:My cousin from my mother's side moved back to Nigeria from the West, since his arrival, he has not been able to find his feet, he came back with several professional certifications and cash to setup a business, everything went down the drain, as I post this article, he is leaving finally back to the West and he has vowed never ever to step his foot in Nigeria, l don't blame him, Nigeria is beyond redemption, those who have ears should hear, if you are not as rich as Dangote, Otedola and all the useless criminal politicians that have stolen generational wealth in Nigeria, don't dream of coming back to this dead country called Nigeria, , those who want to be patriotic can continue but for me, Nigeria is a useless shithole jungle fit only for pigs to live, nonsense 21 Likes |

Hmmmm One of my friend got injured yesterday while watching Nigeria match. Lamentably, everything in Nigeria is porous. Imagine common world cup is very hard for an average Nigerian to sit at the comfort of his house and watch freely without huge subscription.Whereas a small country like Ghana,the reverse is the case,where they have a plethora of television channels showing them for free.Yet we are fighting corruption but provision of basic amenities for the poor masses to enjoy the dividends of the so-called democracy remains an uphill task. It is really pathetic. |

peacengine:No, he is actually a wise man because he has all it takes to go back to the West, he has his personal building in Nigeria, he has his foreign passport, he has certifications in various disciplines and he will be absorbed back in the West, you are the greatest fool because you are defending a useless country that is dead and beyond redemption, , you are stock in hell in Nigeria and have no hope of a better tomorrow, My cousin can fly out to more than 100 countries without visa, now buzz off my mentions, I will not dignify you with another response, nonsense 25 Likes 4 Shares

Tunmise100:Nigeria is a useless country, a country where members of the National Assembly collected billions of naira in bribes before they passed the budget according the former minister of finance Ngozi iweala, Nigeria is beyond redemption and should be auctioned off on eBay to richer western nations to buy, useless country that has crippled the destiny of its citizens 7 Likes |

Grupo:Someone who cannot make it with capital from the west is a lazy person except if he is on a small savings (below $10,000) in Nigeria. Imagine with all his certification according to the poster, he is still a failure here. He should go back to his familiar background and enjoy his old ways. His type is the employee kind of person who enjoys working for people. He needs lecture from my hardworking Nigerian guys hitting it irrespective of their environment here in Nigeria. NOTE that relocating should be more about comfort than making money. Someone with capital should make more money here, period. 1 Like |

EMMAACHILE:Shut up if you don't know what you are talking about, you don't know him neither do you know how much he brought into Nigeria, he is my cousin and I know how much he wasted in Nigeria, he is not really a failure because he came with a detailed plans to settle down, but the business environment in Nigeria was too toxic for him to operate from, a country where you give bribes to virtually everyone from the gateman to the highest civil servant before basic things can be approved, even without a job, his real Estate investment can feed you for the rest of your life, I will not talk more than this, he is not a failure but he came with a good intentions to live in a failed state, keep consoling yourself with patriotism and enjoy all the shithole it offers, 15 Likes |

AngelicBeing: I understand. There are stories too about people who saved up to go live the life of comfort back in Nigeria but got a very hard reality check. The saving grace is some of them didn't burn bridges and were able to run back when things didn't work out. Your cousin is lucky to be able to run again. As for me, the stupidity in Nigeria is the reason I'm never going to live there again. I can visit and spend time there because of family (Max I'll ever stay there is 10 days) but I'll never ever consider relocating no matter what. Look at the absolute nonsense people say on here all in the name of patriotism. Lmao! 12 Likes |

I'm not even bothered about the patriotic defenders. If they like it where they are, I wish them well. I post for the casual or unsure readers. Those who don't know what's on the other side. Those who only know what they see everyday in Nigeria and have no idea what an organized society looks like. A place where masquerades still flog people with canes for not giving them money lmao!

Grupo: Cousin with advanced Western certificates and money came to establish business without success, moved back and swore not to return haha that dude is a numbskull. He set up the business without planning and focus. He should blame his thick skull for failure. When uneducated Asians and Arabs are successful in operating multimillion businesses he failed. He can't even defend his certificates. Look, the day I feared Indians was when a friend in India paid me to conduct market research for him before he will establish his business here. Took my girl to a water front restaurant today owned by a Jamaican. Ordinary coconut water, natural coconut is N1000. Foreigners trooping there as if he's manufacturing special drink. I was looking for the guy to pick his brains small I was not lucky to see him. |

Nig4Greatness: You spew insults and hatred because I rightly called you out. You resort to insults because you have nothing concrete to say. I will not follow you down that road but I will stick to the facts. It is strange that you see yourself as an African American but yet you champion Nigeria's cause. Which one are you, Nigerian or African American? I am proudly Nigerian and will never identify as African American because that is not who I am. You have already lost your Nigerian identity by identifying as African American so your arguments are moot. Moreso,kindly show me in the statutes book where police can pull you over in traffic even when no traffic violations were committedYou will do yourself a favor to consult an actual lawyer and not get your facts about law from TV shows. A cop is allowed to pull you over for 'reasonable suspicion' even when no traffic violations were committed. A cop however has no right to search your car without a warrant but he can pull you over. So police stopping you abroad is "obeying constituted authority" but your likes call it a crime against humanity if same thing happens in nigeria.When I am in Nigeria, I have absolutely no problems stopping for a policeman. I do have problems with a policeman asking me for a bribe and I stated as much if you bothered to read my post before rushing to insult me. Also I have a problem with a policeman searching my phone and laptop without a court order because it is illegal. If you answer this post please be an adult and respond without insults. 17 Likes |

sevule: This is a very intelligent comment. Every part of it. The U.S is a country of laws, the cops like you said can pull you over for probable cause. A cop has no obligation to tell anyone why they're being pulled over and the law states that when you're pulled over, you must present license, insurance and registration upon request. It is standard. 3 Likes |

Someone i know experienced the same thing and before he could say "JACK.ROBISON" they have started raising false accusations. Why will you be travelling with two passport, ehn ehn so u are part of those people who are doing yahoo abi, fraud. Mind you, his former passport will expire in less than 6 months, that was why he got a new one. Until he said baba take he was there stranded.

Bergoglio:If I am in your shoes, I will take the US as number one, US number 2, Ireland number 3, Germany is good but language might likely be a barrier to you if you are not fluent in German language, that does not mean you can't survive but it is better to be where English is the medium of communication, America and Ireland are fantastic places expecially if you go via the school route, after that, you can adjust your status legally and live your life to the fullest, good luck as you take a giant step to flee from hell fire to the paradise ahead of you 7 Likes 2 Shares |
