He might be right. It could be an arrangement like a contract. The contract term is common in Europe too. UK, Germany, France infact all Schengen. For instance, you don't buy data like we do here. They call it broadband and it's unlimited. So far you pay the minimum required, you have access to unlimited internet. If you like use 80Gigabyte per day. It will remain valid and you remain connected till end of your contract.

That's why we use free wi-fi on public coaches, gym, stores and malls, eateries, train stations, bus stops and lots of places.

Don't argue please at least visit any European country within schengen or the United kingdom. I was in France again and UK this year. So all is from experience.


he's talking about gas, not internet. I don't believe that any where has unlimited free gas until proven.

This thread really makes me sad to the point I feel my eyes watering. Anyone trying to defend Nigeria by saying ‘it isn’t so bad’ is only lying to themself, a country where you can’t boast of complete 5 hours power supply in a day, what am I even saying? Some placed haven’t seen power in months, a country where people die for lack of police report for proper medical attention, a country where it’s leaders travel to other countries for medical care, a country where you have no emergency response unit for whatever, a country where you get laughed at for being duped or stolen from, heck! You get blamed and called a mugu for being a victim of a corrupt system, I feel very sad honestly especially today, and someone will telll me happy independence? May that independence kee you there, nonsense!
Hi sis,
To be frank, the only thing I enjoyed in my hood in Nigeria was uninterrupted power supply. That's why they can boldly bill a one room or a store there 8k per month without bathing an eyelid.
As few of them were once my colleagues when I worked there , on asking, the only reason given was that the community people don't hesitate to pay up their bills as when due or contribute to repair any bad stuffs which is actually very wrong.

They billed me heavily to come and do something they have been neglecting to do in front of my house arrogantly but when i told the chief engineer I was once in hq, he behaved himself and sent his boys to go and do that free.
The rot is unbelievable and I don't see that getting better any time soon.

I've never followed a thread as lengthy as this before like I just did with this one now.

Literally, I'm heart broken and tire of this country. I've worked my ass out night and day just to be able to live up to expectation and still nothing to show for it.

I must leave this country by fire or by force and when I do, I'll never look back.

What is wrong with making money through blog?
There are so many bloggers in Nigeria who're making it big. Mine might not be news and entertainment, but I believe I can do it.

I've had more than 100 visitors so far and counting.. why the discouragement? Why the negative mindset? If you don't like reading stories, there are people who actually do. And it won't kill you even you don't read to at least SUPPORT it.

We rise by lifting others!

If you can't support it, don't ruin it.

Ist travel was Europe and it was a very very nice experience. The people loved Africans. They loved that we could speak their language ( even though not fluently). The place was very welcoming and they sometimes gave us free foodstuff at the market and free rides to wherever we were going. I remember one particular woman who welcomed me into her house when my electricity was out. I needed to charge my phone but my charging port wasn't really good. She tried all available sockets just to ensure it was charging. She then began gisting me (in their language) about all her kids who were now married and were in other countries. She gave me nice fruits and even made coffee for me to drink as it was Winter. That was the day I ate the best fruit known to man. That had to be the fruit Adam and Eve ate, it was heavenly.

School was so much fun too, friendly lecturers, friendly secretary. Good learning environment. No stress, no lecturer failing you unjustly. First day of snow we all went out, played in the snow for hours taking lovely pictures.

I remember the first day we went to school without a guide. We all stopped at the wrong train station, got lost, asked for directions but due to the language barrier we were given the wrong directions so we ended up at the American embassy instead. Going back home was even worse. On our way we were already lost not knowing what train station to alight when we met a Nigerian who claimed to have been there for long. He gave us wrong directions again and we ended up lost again. We then decided we trek until we see road signs that show we were going in the right direction. That was when one of my friends sighted a saloon where she had been to a few days earlier. It was owned by a Nigerian and she gave us the proper direction home.

I had many wonderful experiences including signing authographs because some of them had never seen black people before.

My experiences cannot contain even a whole book so I'll just stop here.

Second country was UAE.

It is when you leave this country that you'll realize that Nigeria is worse than hell fire.
you didn't say the country in Europe you visited

Where will I start from? Well born in Naija but I have travel alot.

Africa
I have been to republic of Niger what I see there is suffering. I have been To Algiers, Constantine and Oran all in Algeria. They should be best address as europeans cos the place is well planned and neat. I have been to Ghana, Benin republic, Togo and Ivory coast.

Europe.
I have been to Paris France and Monaco, I have been to Milano, Rome and Torino all in Italy, I live in Geneva and Zurich in Switzerland as well as Warsaw in Poland. In addition I visited Frankfurt and Munich in Germany and spend couple of days in Norway.

America
I did my Master in California U.S.A, and visited other couple if cities in U.Sa. I have also been to Cacun In Mexico.

Asia.
Spend my 2010 holiday in Kualar Lumpur in Malaysia.

Middle East.

Qatar.

Life in U.S.A is ok but you are mostly on your own as every body is always busy. Man gat to pay bills you know.
Swiss life is very cool but expensive . You better avoid anything that will land you into police trouble.

Polish life is cheap but no much work but their girls are very pretty

All these countries except Niger republic, Benin and Togo are all better than Nigeria 1000percent.

Thank you.


Oga sir, you're a big man o! So people like dis dey nairaland? Twale sir cheesy

So what do u like abt nigeria despite the ills?

If you want me to be honest it's really about thinking about the future. .
1. I'm really not made for the cold. I can never get used to it.
2. State pension over here means confirmed poverty in old age for the unprepared.
3. There is more potential in Nigeria if you have the funds.
4. It's easier for people like me due to the exchange rate and my foreign currency that's the simple truth.
5. I have more family and friends in Nigeria.

You should have stated your experience and left it at that without trying to deride Christianity as if it is the reason for Nigeria's underdevelopment. There are more Christians in America than Nigeria yet it is the most developed country in the world.

Talking about living outside of Nigeria... It all depends on what you want 1. If you want to see beautiful places yeah most of them are very beautiful 2. If you want to hustle for money,good education, good health care, and enabling environment yeah most of the places in the world you can get them ; hustle-and make good money as per exchange rate. 3. If you want a place to feel like home no no you can’t get it any where in the world except Nigeria 4. If you want a place to see enchanting faces no no you can’t get it, Nigeria is the only place in the world you see enchanting faces... This is deeper than what it means it only when you relocate you will understand this 5. If you are looking for a place to be welcomed no no you can’t get it only in Nigeria you get welcomed... you will not understand this only when you relocate. 6. Looking for a place to be free...then stay in Nigeria 7. Looking for a family for togetherness and oneness it is only in Nigeria you get to feel and see such... this is something you won’ t know until you get there and you mom or brother tell you that you have to contribute to the house upkeep when they know you don’t have a job. 8. Looking for friends to stand by you then stay in Nigeria... cos over here I laugh in Swahili ki ki ki . 9. Are you looking for help Laughs!!! Then it is only in Nigeria you get free help... Nigeria is where some one you do not really know can give you 10k just to help you. I will stop at 10. Nigeria and her hospitality is unimaginable, not to be compared and can never be seen or get anywhere in the world. It all depends on what you are looking for outside of Nigeria
