In this life you are either a pessimist or an optimist. The way I see things may not be the way you see things.

As far as I know. I have better chance of attaining my dreams here than anywhere else.

One of the things I have found out about life is the people you hang around with determines how you see life. It determines the opportunities you see.

Sebi one guy opened one thread lamenting how US embassy was denying almost everyone visa. They dont want you to come to there country. So stay in your country and make it better.

There are bad people everywhere. Any change one desires starts from each one of us.
No be the same Nigerians give Nigerians bad names everywhere they reside around the world.

Let me be honest with you even in America it is not easy. I have very close relatives living in US. I know how many of them live. I have childhood friends who carry American passport.

Many people are making legit money in Nigeria!! Yes. Once we see a rich person we call them 419. Drug baron etc. See how Chinese Indians and other foreigners are making it in Nigerian markets while our people are running away to be third class citizens in a foreign land.

You may have your own opinion but for me, I dey here kampe. I dey here to hustle, work hard. Give people employment. To see how many of our people I will better there lives. By God's Grace. Not to run away to another man's land and be a laughing stock.

When you travel around the world and see how the black man is treated, like a trash. You will know it's better to be here and see the way one can help to effect positive changes not running away and becoming slaves or shit.hole the likes of Trump call our people.

man must stay and take our place in this nation.







You have spoken well but it is not easy in naija oooo. Things are just unnecessarily hard. And I am stuck here for now. Wetin man go do sef?

iyam telling u my brothercheesy. Nigerians are hardworking but na d system dey frustrate people. U can imagine a young man who wants to start an honest business.he sets up a barber shop and he will be using a chunk of his profit to dey buy fuel for im generator cos Nepa no dey work. And we expect d country to move. The few companies wey dey operate here run fully on generator and since dey buy a lot of diesel they hike up the price of their services. With the stress wey dey this country this is why u see when nigerians travel out most of them excell overseas because facilities are there for us to use and d stress in here has made them doggedcheesy.as for nigerian police harrasing ppl for money... Though its wrong but then many of them got to survive.nigerian police are underpaid and overworked and govt no gree provide with enough needed facilities.imagine u go to some police stations and u go see say some of their patrol cars na old jalopy. Many of dem source for private citizens to fuel their police cars. Wahala dey dis country abegcheesy.
Truth is Niggerians are their own worst enemies. Who makes up the system? Average you and me. People dont care to do theor jobs
.. theu dont even see their jobs as being responsible for anything. A man who is tasked to do one small job will want to flex muscle and show he is oga even to the detriment of others.

Lagos Tops List Of Worst Cities To Live In Africa, 2018 – EIU Report by tstx(m): 1:39pm

Giant of Africa, Nigeria, have been featured in international rankings once again in THE GLOBAL LIVEABILITY INDEX 2018 REPORT And this time the city of Lagos is our focal point.

Nigeria's commercial nerve center and golden city is the worst city to live in Africa.

The revelation is according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU's 2018 ranking of the world's most liveable cities. Lagos city was ranked 138th of the 140 countries ranked by the EIU.

With a relatively low score of 38.5 per cent, Lagos was just a little above Syria's war-torn capital, Damascus, and Bangladesh's Dhaka. Both cities are hotbeds of violence, destruction and war...

my guy in kenya b4 he travelled out he was very optimistic like u. He was always saying e go better,dat is country is blessed etc.but when he travel to kenya na so im go change tune oocheesy. Anytime we dey chat for whatsap na so e go dey talk say dis country is cursed,dat it will never be well with our politicians etccheesy. Those nigerians wey dem dey deny US visa maybe dem no know wetin dem wan go do dere. B4 u making plans to travel out u have to have clear cut plans on what u want to go and do dere and besides u must have some amount of money to travel or u going there to study.dem no go just give u visa like dat just becos u jus wake up one mornin say u wan travel to yankee. Anyway nobody is saying everybody must travel to USA. On the issue of nigerians overseas givin us a bad name....my brother there are many more nigerians overseas as well making us proud.those nigerians engaging in shady deals overseas are just criminally minded. Just last week i heard on the radio about some young secondary school ladies in abia or is it anambra...i cant remember now. They are in silicon valley right now in one competition. These young ladies invented one gadget that u could use to detect fake drugs. I no see d story in nairaland front page oo. Nairaland hardly carry stories about nigerians doing positive things in overseas or in nigeria. Instead nairaland will be carrying stories about igbo drug peddlers in malaysia or indonesia that was caught..or one edo yahoo boy who was arrested in spain or some yoruba drug peddlers who were arrested in india. Dem no dey gree carry positive stories about nigerians making waves.

[quote author=stane007 post=70267322]An American man who stood for a street chat with a Nigerian man, has an advice for every intelligent person in the country.


According to the American man, all he has heard about Nigeria is that 'if you don't open up your pocket and pay everyone from the lowest to the highest, you don't get anything done'. He concluded his speech by stating that ' as an intelligent person, you need to get out of Nigeria if you want to get ahead, because the powers that be wants to hold everybody down; especially women and intelligent people'.

Here is the trending video below;

Having hit songs has not caused her to slow down at all. She’s still releasing songs and working hard. Earlier today, she posted this on Twitter proving to Nigerians that success has only fueled her ambition.

How do you define being ahead in life?

The income they make. The quality of life they can afford. Their share in percapital income. And yes I am right in what I am saying.

Nigerias major problem is simply vision less, direction less and very wicked leaders.

Do you know if Nigeria just get it right in having just one smart leader. Nigeria will change.

Do you know that Singaporeans live better than Americans. Yes there per capita income is higher than US. What changed that country? It was just the vision of Lee Kwan yee. He was visionary, loved his people and effected positive changes.


Changing Nigeria just requires just;

Overhaul our education system
Massive infrastructure overhaul, electricity, roads, railway etc
Just this two things is the foundation that is required to change Nigeria.

Give Nigerians steady electricity and tell me if industrialisation won't overtake this nation. Because average Nigerian is very hardworking.

Nigeria have the population to generate a trillion dollars economy. South Africa has more than 80000 megawatts of electricity while Nigeria just have 3000mwgawats but still Nigeria has the biggest economy in Africa.


If Nigeria manage to get just 15000mwgawatts of electricity she will fly. Do we have the money for that? yes. Then why are we not having it? A very wicked leadership.

How? When obasanjo them were building power plants the ones they built. They built them far away from Niger delta gas reservoirs. The gas in Niger delta can light the entire Africa!!

But they built them away and then they required another billions of dollars to build pipelines from Niger delta to those power plants.

There are some things I don't want to say. When I look at Nigeria, I weep for this nation because we have the wherewithal to be a top ten economy on the World. We have the natural resources, the human resources, everything but it is just a very wicked, evil and vile leadership.


And running away won't solve it
