Brilliant and exhaustive analysis

Thank you.

Mu'azu Alhaji Misiya, a graduate of Mathematics and an indigene of Bama, Borno state became a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force (C-JTF) which involved young volunteers collaborating with the military to prosecute the anti-terrorism campaign in Borno state.

He was part of the joint effort which liberated many towns and villages which included Gwoza, Bama, Banki, Fulka, Yamtake and many others. He partook in many operations led by the late Colonel Abu Ali in which he proved his commitment, valor, fighting spirit and gallantry.

https://nationnaija.com.ng/meet-muazu-alhaji-misiya-a-banker-who-left-his-job-to-join-vigilante/

Mu'azu Misiya's patriotism and gallantry stood out because he elected to, not just abandoned his white collar job, but decided to take up arms, as a civilian volunteer, to fight so that others could sleep in peace. He did this since 2006 at a time many people were leaving jobs in order to get out of town to save their skins.

Here is hoping that both the federal and state governments would consider avenues to highlight this young man's contributions by honoring him in order to encourage others to see the wisdom in sacrificing ones comfort to build a nation at peace with itself.

May Abu Ali's soul rest in peace and may the universe protect his wife and child.

They are lke flies in Rivers. They know owoo go kill them if they remain in theri forest of a state.

They are hungry parasites and we are tired of them here.

Seems you are new to nairaland. The Op including the 8 of the first 10 posters are known Akwa Ibom monikers on this forum.


If you are a regular on this forum then you should know the cheap propagandist called Ilaumoh aka Hunchogee aka NkanAkpanika.

Bushmen from the land of forest that are only seeing civilization for the first time.

No need to explain to the Op, he should check the trend.

Kinematics:
Come to akwa ibom you'll see where even minors are cultists.

Even their secondary and primary school students are not spared, I wonder what will become of that state. They should come and carry their violence back to the state.

Kinematics:
Paradise, yet their people are everywhere doing the worst jobs on the surface of the planet.

They keep spreading poor illiterate all over the planet.

They keep struggling to come to Rivers to become maids and house boys yet they keep chest beating online.

It's like their audio governor is not providing jobs for them.

Kinematics:
How do humans survive here?

Omo, my guy these Akwa Ibom people are trying to do more than themselves as if they live in paradise.

Hunchogee:
People there are idle

We have a higher IGR than your over hyped shit hole .

Hunchogee:
People there are idle

Lmao, your people are used as house helps/maids in Rivers, so who employs them if Riverians are idle? In almost every nook and cranny of Rivers State, you see an Akpan, an Edet or an Ekate.

Hunchogee:
Chai, how do humans survive there?

Don't deviate from the topic, you've your fair share of cultism in Akwa Ibom. It's not a Rivers affair when it comes to any of this, the pollution and cult crisis is a Niger Delta thing so stop being silly.

U make sense but stop quoting dat headless chicken/goat, he is among those who sees nothing in the killings going on in d north but comes online to spew trash, ask him what the north contributes to the nation's Igr he no know and come to think of it there is nothing the north can grow that other regions can't grow, it is just dat Nigeria and the regions in it has specialisation, abeg next time no waste Ur data replying to a goat like him, d less mention U give to him d more his senses comes to normal

I will try boss.

techtechh:
Don’t make it seems like igbos are doing Nigerians a favour. Truth is nobody asked igbos to scatter throughout the nation for mere trade. So if you leave you won’t be missed. Period

Get the context of my point from the quoted post instead trying to rant carelessly on a Monday morning

Freedomfsl:
Thanks for this exhaustive analysis. The average Nigeria is so money conscious and greedy... They think money solves everything.

How you make money is not important because nobody holds you accountable for anything. Zero value for human life.

I hope he doesn't lose something that money cannot buy or solve before realising Nigeria is a dumpster fire.

You're welcome and Thanks for the appreciation.

Princewill1:
The high successes recorded by dubious politicians, fraudulent pastors and ponzi scheme operators in Nigeria are living proofs that Nigerians can be so gullible. We can easily be deceived. The astronomical hype on Canada is the latest deceit in town. Here are things you need to know before immigrating.

1. The list of richest Nigerians is filled with Nigerians living at home. You're more likely to make it into Forbes if you live in Nigeria. At least that's what the stat shows, whether people making into Forbes in Nigeria are engaging in corrupt practices is a story for another day. The odds of becoming a dollar billionaire favours those at home . No Diaspora Nigerian has ever made it into Forbes billionaire list.

You're also more likely to climb the ladder without bribery or "man know man" if live in a working system like Canada. There are so many Nigerians who are wealthy and making it outside country, such as the CEO of Calendly, and not everyone wishes to make the Forbes list.

2. There are more money to be made in a developing economy than in a developed economy. That's why as you're rushing out of the country, Lebanese, Indians and Chinese are rushing in. Only few will understand. You're sitting on the biggest market in Africa yet you haven't realize this but the Lebanese and the Indians knew this.

The Lebanese, Indians, and Chinese are also trooping into Canada and it's like massively. Immigration stats shows that Chinese and Indians are among the highest legal immigrants in Western countries. Not everyone one must stay in a developing and destabilized economy that lacks direction.

3. If you are the type who don't fancy working for others, it's much more easier to own a business in Nigeria than in Canada/US. Western countries were set up for the 99% populace to work for 1% elites. Their education systems were designed to produce workforce for the rat race. Not to create employers of labour.

Again, you have no stats for this. The United States churns out the highest amount of millionaires annually, and also the largest amount of startups globally this can't be achieved in a nation like Nigeria which practices exactly what you talked of.

4. It's stupidity to resign from a high-paying job in Nigeria in a bid to relocate to Canada/US. Your eyes will get clear up when you start facing the hard realities in Canada. Those who had made this mistake in the past are ashamed to come on social media to talk about it. The ones talking on Twitter are 'freshers' who just arrived.

Someone's choice can't be termed stupid because it doesn't suit your narrative. People live Nigeria to Canada and other developed countries every month and guess what they survive and adapt to the system.

Why will a Software Engineer work in Nigeria and earn N800,000 a month but still be scared of harassment/death from security operatives when Canada can offer you more money for your job, and security of your life.

5. If you want to secure 2nd passport for your kids, you don't necessarily need to immigrate to achieve this. There are other ways, one method is overseas child birth.

It's not just about giving your children second passports after all Brazil offers that, it's about allowing them grow up in a sane environment where things work and people, government, and institutions can be held accountable for their actions.

6. You're 5x more likely to be shot and rubbed in New York than in Lagos. Poor neighborhoods all over the world has more crime rates. The thing is, when you finally made it in Nigeria,you can move to high brow areas with lesser crime.

You're using New York as an example compared to Lagos where this happens everyday in almost every location. The killings in New York mostly takes place in just Brooklyn but in Lagos everywhere is a hotspot.

Again, a person will have to wait in Nigeria to become wealthy to live in high brow area to be safe. Living in the so called "high brow area" is not even cheap as you state it, rent for a house in Lekki can go as high as N 800,000 for a self contain, the big question is how many Nigerians can afford it?

7. Nigerians are spending up to 8millions ($21k) and above to immigrate to Canada/US whereas an average canadian or American citizen can't boast of $10k in their bank A/C's. They live pay check to pay check.

It is wiser to live pay check to pay check than to have all the money in Nigeria, and be killed by either a poor health system, unprofessional security operative or any of the inadequacy that dwells in Nigeria beside they will pay tax which will solve most of the problems that bothers average Nigerian.

8. Some Nigerians claims that they ain't relocating because of the money but because of good infrastructure, good health care system, value for their money etc. That's a lie! 98% of Nigerians who're eager to travel out are relocating because of economic reasons. There are good infrastructure, good health care system and value for money in countries like Kuwait, Russia, Brazil, South Korea, Chile etc but Nigerians ain't trooping there, indicating that their preference for Canada/US is purely based on economic reasons.

There are Nigerians in all this countries you called but some Nigerians have their reason for preferring the West above all this other countries, some of which are;

- Right to Freedom of Speech: Aside South Korea, and Brazil every other country you called trample on the right to free speech including Chile.

Also there is nothing wrong in migrating to a country because of their economy, the UAE is getting stronger economically and people are migrating there, so this your point isn't valid.

9. It's cheaper to live in Nigeria. Canada/US promises higher minimum wage but the system will still take it away from you. It's like giving you with one hand and taking from you with another. $2k (N760k) will pay for your one year rent of 2 bedrooms apartment in a good location in Nigeria but same amount will only fetch you one month rent of a match box apartment in Canada/US.

Your comparison is awful, you compare countries based on their purchasing power and not just saying "it's cheaper to live in Nigeria". Canada/United States is more powerful than Nigeria economically, so the living standards are high. Someone from the United States/Canada who immigrated to Switzerland/Norway will also find the living standards high.

10. This is not to stop you from traveling out but to inform you on the true realities. Economic immigration should be left for lower or working class who're struggling or to young lads who wants to school abroad and thereafter further their career overseas. Not to deceive Nigerians already earning good in corporate offices in Nigeria to resign and relocate where they will be employed as security guards or to deceive business owners who's businesses are thriving in Nigeria to close down business and relocate. Don't let them deceive you with the hype. Money don't grow on trees anywhere in the world.

This is a lie most you "stay in Nigeria preachers" peddle and the gullible always believe it without further research/inquiries. If you migrate as an Accountant to the United States/Canada you will work as an Accountant, you may need some certificates to practice there like we have ICAN in Nigeria this is same for every other profession.

Nigeria is on the list of countries with poor/worst ease of doing business and it has been on the list for a longtime and it isn't leaving it soon. Do you know why it makes that list? It's because this no system or structure put in place for business owners. Any Tom, Dick or Harry can claim to be a task force and take money from business owners, and this cycle continues as more of them will come thereby ruining the business.

Fellow Country Men, if you have the chance to leave the country or you wish to leave the country, and you have the resources please do. Stop listening to some "Dangote Wanna be", who wants to stay back and try their luck or hope for the best.

If you want to stay back, there is no problem but stop coercing others or lying to make them take the same decision.

Nigerians (especially on Nairaland and Twitter) are in the habit of believing they know what's best for the next person and it's a really disgusting attitude. What works for you, may not work for the next person. If a person has made up his/her mind to leave the country, you should let them be with their decision it's purely their choice and you're in no position to tell them to back off or even insult them for their choice.



Many of you who go ranting on several threads forget that part of what contributes to the country's GDP is "Diaspora Remittance". Now ask yourself how will this money come in, when you keep trying to discourage people from leaving the country.



Some people relocate so that they can enjoy a working system which they can't get here, and the idea of discouraging people with talks of racism is silly, now tell me what's the difference between racism, and the tribalism/religious intolerance that occurs in the country. Racism has never taken people's live in mass outside Nigeria but religious intolerance/tribalism has caused so many Nigerians there lives.



Also, some people come with their idea of you being a second class citizen but that talk is also " hog wash". We all witnessed several Nigerians elected into various positions in the last U.S elections and some others appointed into various offices, now ask yourself these policy makers second class citizens in the United States?

The system in these countries are built to reward people for their hard work and dedication unlike here where we practice a "man no man system" even if the person is unqualified.



Fellow Country Men, if you have the chance to leave the country or you wish to leave the country, and you have the resources please do. Stop listening to some "Dangote Wanna be", who wants to stay back and try their luck or hope for the best.

If you want to stay back, there is no problem by stop coercing others into taking the same decision.

Arrewa:
Kano 7billon with 44 local government... Bigger than the 5 eastern states.

Abia 2.6Bn not bigger than a local government in kano.

Anambra 3.3Bn

Ebonyi 2.1Bn

Enugu 2.9Bn

Imo 3.8Bn

Total SE = 14.7Bn

Yet the east remains the most backward region in Nigeria.

Whit the little allocation we are getting regardless of our big land mass...

Kano is able to be more developed than the whole of Eastern states put together

Compare other Northern states to the South East states or is Kano, and Kaduna the only Northern States? What happened to the remaining 17 states in the North?

Arrewa:
you should be more concern about the East.

Elrufai is commissioning projects every week and developing Kaduna State.

While your Eastern politicians are busy looting your backward region.

Your region is currently the most backward region in Nigeria.

Hold your leaders accountable and stop killing yourself over Elrufai that has no business with the East.

Elrufai is working!!

Pathetic ranter, no doubt El Rufai is working but saying the South East is the most backward region in Nigeria is deceitful. Is the NE or the NC more developed than the SE?

You've the poorest people in the North but yet you want to paint a region of 5 states doing better than the states in the NC/NW. Oh, least I forget your governors are no different from the thieving SE governors, one was even caught on camera taking bribes.

etrouble:
That’s the best they can aspire because they are afraid of facing the Yorubas in the general elections. Igbos will never come out and face Yorubas in the general elections. Instead Igbos will hide behind the Hausa/Fulanis to fight the Yorubas.

Nnamdi Azikwe with his PhD accepted to be Ceremonial President to semi literate Tafawa Balewa in order to fight the Yorubas.

Alex Ekwueme with his PhD accepted to be VP to half educated Almajari called Sheu Shagari so that he can fight Awolowo.

Central Bank Governor of defunct Biafra Central Bank with his international certificates and exposure accepted to be VP to bank teller called Bashir Tofa in order to fight MKO Abiola, yet Abiola defeated Tofa in Tofa’s local government and Ward. Still yet, it was another Igbo named Arthur Nzeribe who went to Court to stop/cancel the election.

Peter Obituary with all his certificates from the best universities all over the world and his several years of professional banking still accepted to be VP to semi literate Adamawa Bobrisky called Atikuchukwu Abubakar whose highest educational qualification is a bought ordinary Diploma of ABU.

Even Wike the wicked was scheming to be VP to Aminu Tambuwal a semi literate herdsman before the Adamawa Bobrisky bought all delegates at the Presidential primary.

Why are Igbos always scared of facing the Yorubas in general election? Common, you can do it. Face your fears once and for all. If you fail, then you try another day. Stop hiding behind the Hausa/Fulanis. Come out and face the Yorubas in the general elections.

Why are you forgetting Professor Osibanjo, an Igbo law professor who hid behind a Hausa/Fulani president to fight the Yorubas.

Clown.

Arrewa:
shut up nyamiri!!

Igbos contribute nothing to our national treasury!!

The main regions moving this country are the south south, west and north.

Igbos bring nothing to the table... You people are just traders scattered all over Nigeria buying and selling.

I will assume you have never learned about economics since the beginning of your existence. If the Igbos are mostly traders, simple economics should tell you that they are key players when talking of the Nigerian economy.

Again, you rightly stated that they're scattered all over the country which again goes to prove that some amount of the IGR in the various region comes from them.

Aside from the NW, every other region in the North is almost as irrelevant to the country as the East. So learn to state clearly that the NW contributes to the economy, instead of deceiving yourself and gullible people who will fall for your deception.


Look at the list below, at least this will reduce the rate of your deception on this forum.

Today it is Trump, tommorow it may be you. Big tech have now become the regulators of the free world and freedom of speech.

They can now essentially tell you what you can and cannot think - anything away from the mainstream liberal belief system and feminist ideology is now termed "hate speech" and "dangerous to our democracy" just like Buhari does here in Nigeria.

If you support Twitter on this, you're a fool. Their stocks are plummeting after the ban anyways so we'll see how it goes for them.

Trump made Twitter what it is today and this is payback? [b]Who knew Twitter before Trump ran for office in 2016[ /b] and used it as his official communication channel since he didn't trust the news?

Another platform will surely rise up and Twitter will regret this decision! You cannot suppress the views of more than half of the USA and the world at large and win. It's not possible.

Twitter was already before Trump came, and will still be after he has gone.

Xenophobia in SA is over exaggerated. SA is friendly to peaceful and law abiding immigrants.
