I have said it before and I would continue to say it. The problem of Nigeria is not its government but Nigerians themselves. Nigerians are corrupt to the core. Imagine immigration officer who was at his job for which he recieves monthly salary asking me “so wetin you get for me”. Corruption kill you dia! Idiot! Job wey dem dey pay you for you still want make I give u money because say wetin?

And this is very typical of almost every office you go in Nigeria both public and private irrespective of the reason you are there.

Useless citizens of a dead country!

Guestlander:


These types are usually the most confused. Torn between two cultures, not completely grounded in either. The result is what you just saw in the video.

Who has been completely grounded in a culture helped.

Have you recieved any award for being completely grounded in the Nigerian culture. Instead hunger, poverty and insecurity wan finish you dia. You dey talk nonsense about being culturally grounded as if dem dey use and cash out for bank.

I would rather be lost between two completely different cultures and live in a country where the government and society function as they ought to, than live in a shithole where corruption thrives, no electricity, hunger and poverty is written on peoples’ faces while armed bandits and terriorists run around freely while the president of the country doesnt give a damn about the citizen’s lives and also enjoys regular vacations in a country that functions properly.

Mmmm, excuse me please. Which country are you talking about? U S A?

Where gangs kill daily, gunshots heard daily sleeping in your bed in the ghetto, school shooting every week, police shooting every month, police acquittal every month, living from pay check to pay check without savings to last a month, more than half of the population have no more than 500 dollars or nothing in their accounts.


They disrespect you daily and call you names telling you to go back to where you came from even though your generation have been there before Columbus and they only came yesterday!


I am just wondering if you are talking about countries in Europe and Americas taken over by extremists right parties deporting people that have been there for generations by "mistake".


Sorry, just wondering o.

Well i have had the privilege of visiting few countries outside Nigeria and i can confidently tell you that Naija is hell on earth but nevertheless there is no place like home and no matter where i find myself,i remain a foreigner cos no place can ever be compared to home.

Great country with mad leaders.

After i dealt with this idiot on Instagram she ran and blocked me. She received a severe uppercut she will never recover from. Do people still travel to the UK these days? It is better to remain in a village in Borno than live in that shithole of a country. Every Nigerian living in UK. is broke

Well inasmuch as i love Naija and i rep Naija for life,i can confidently say you goofed with your comment cos if you are given a visa to U.K today,you will give testimony in church..bro be real biko and don't ever compare the worst place in U.K to the best part of Nigeria and concluding that every naija in U.K is broke is not only ridiculous but lame.

Why are we reconstructing a 2 Lane Lagos to Ibadan expressway 41 years after it was constructed. It was constructed and opened in 1978.

Nigeria's first dual carriageway. Yet 41 years after we are still reconstructing a 2 Lane road to Ibadan when we should be constructing a minimum of 4 lanes. Are we saying vechilar traffic has not increased.

NA WA 4 Naija.

autojosh we need your response sharp sharp

True words but everybody want leave Naija by force so they would crucify u cos to them, abroad na abroad. Someone from the UK shouldn't be d one to finish Niaja like this.

People are talking about the general state of affairs which has progressively gotten worse since independence and here you are seeing it as an opportunity to display your prejudice. There is a bigger societal problem and this has nothing to do with any president. The president is only a reflection of what is wrong with the larger society...and that includes your beloved GEJ.

Is it a coincidence that even though we've been changing presidents and governors (from one religion to another...from one geopolitical zone to the another...from one party to another), yet things are not getting any better? Go figure!

I absolutely agree with you

Absolutely true!!!! God Almighty help my beloved country

due to your unreasonable inclinement to defend bihari, you made a fool of himself. The guy was right, buhari ain't the root cause but things are terribly going bad under his watch, its clear.

Visa is for desperate blind people who cant see the changes around them. Even for a trillion dollars i wont step a inch out of this country. UK is bondage worse than a 60's Cambodia cell. I am yet to see a single Nigeria who went there and became successful.

i left Nigeria in 2008 and that road is yet to be completed...

but we have 4 lane roads in abuja, lagos ph and some other states, ibadan is a local bush, dont be swayed by its hype.

Young man the percentage of Nigerians abroad with houses in lekki, ikoyi and victoria island is less than 2%. They dont have that kind of money so stop twising it. If any could afford it then they made the money with their contacts back in Nigeria. The first 10 million richest Nigerians live and work here, not a single person based abroad will be in the top 10million. Lets be real here, the average Nigerian is richer than the average American and when i say American i am talking about whites who are first class citizen. America and Canada are debts trap

I don't have energy to expend on rubbish.

blackprowler:
Anything that exposes and describes how terrible the country and people of Nigeria are, I'm fully in support. Devils! Apes! Anyone who actually has a brain and takes the time to observe the totality of conduct of the Nigerian would easily see why this country is a joke and will remain so. Zero enlightenment here; just apes running around to get banana (money) and would do so at any cost, with zero morality

Too harsh! Every Nigerian is not Devil or ape running around chasing money.

Yes, the country is in a very bad state but you and I know why. It is a collective failure by all of us because we refused to do nothing.

sure cos you know a serious knock out punch is coming. I have not even started. I dare anyone to bring it on. I am the most hated and celebrated person on travel section. Nigerians in diaspora hide their faces when they hear i am coming

The kind of money people make in Nigeria can't me made in Europe and America. Even some petty stores are doing great and people are smiling and enjoying life. The only people not smiling in this country are those who refuse to engage themselves in something meaningful and those who wish to travel abroad. These set of useless people can be found all over nairaland talking bullshit about rituals, kidnapping, like any of their family members have ever been kidnapped. Useless bunch of lazy azz

Simply send me a PM if you want to come to U.K and i will help you ...i promise to keep it a secret.

And you must be living in seclusion to say you have not seen successful Nigerians in U.K..even the owner of Gatwick airport is a Nigerian...better wake up from your delusion.

I totally agree that if you have good money to invest and i mean real good money and a sound business idea and of course if you are strong enough to withstand the Nigeria factor(insecurity, crazy government policy, lack of adequate power...), don't bother leaving Naija cos Nigeria has a great population to move any good business...nevertheless the embolden is so so wrong.

I laugh in spanish. adebayo Ogunlesi whose father was the first Nigerian medical professor in Ibadan. People who benefitted from the oil and gas sector and took their money abroad to invest. You honestly dont know who you are dealing with. Simply send me a PM if you want me to teach you how to become successful in Nigeria. I promise to keep it a secret. You can relocate without anyone finding out, i will accommodate you for a year while you climb up the success ladder

Guestlander:


Forget about Lagos, start from your villages. Aba is an eyesore, you can start from there.

My village is 10 million times better than that stretch of hell road. No part of Aba has that stretch of rotten hell road...and besides we are talking about the road leading to the best airport in the country. Comparing Lagos with Aba shows how empty and your height of cowardice. If na Igbos get those trucks, you Igbophobic people will come with... Igbos don't respect their HOST, after being accommodated, bla, bla, bla

lol! i thought you wrote that there are no successful Nigerians in U.k and U.S...that is the vaguest comment i have ever read on nairaland.
Bro there is no need engaging in pendulous rants with you...you cant tell me about Nigeria or investment in Nigeria.

I have had the opportunity of investing millions as early as the late 90s and things are even worse now talking about the Nigeria factor so biko have a great day.

The United states has a higher crime rate than the combine African countries. The crime rate in Chicago alone is more than the entire Nigeria. You are a rookie

If 80% of the crime in Nigeria is reported and shown on the media, would you not literally run away from this country?

even when all crime are reported it wont be up to half of what is going on in New York or Chicago. Those two places can best be called a jungle. The United States has more people locked up than continental Africa. Go and do a personal research
