₦airaland Forum

Nigerians abroad, how many of you are considering relocating back to the 'motherland' once this whole pandemic/lockdown debacle is over?

If you are, state your reasons here..

pocohantas:
Amen oooo!!!

Oh Stale! Shock me!

Issorite o.

.. you just might find someone, even with those poverty-stricken meals you cook and post every day in the food section .. which is nothing but a desperate bid to advertise for a "horseband"

E go better

pocohantas:
Is that all you have? Remind me I am not married na. Hahahahaha. Brothers wey mumu!

Eyah, e pain am Don't worry baba will pick up your call.

Hahahhahahahahahhahahahahha

pocohantas:
Like yours was smart. It is smart that the only thing you can come up with is my supposed marital status. You must be the smartest person in your family then.

Like you are in yours!

bukatyne:
Instead of telling your husband to stop 'spending on his family', point him to projects he can spend money on.

E.g. 'My friend said there is one cheap land at Igbo Tutu' or 'how I wish we had our house, we wouldn't be bothered about Baba Mulika asking for rent every year' or 'there is one mutual funds that the entry is N200k and you get 15% returns per year. We can be paying Junior's fees from the interest'. You can also bring up investment for your kids etc.

You know what works with your husband so explore that. Also appreciate him for what he does so far.

@buying your land: I am not a fan of spouses buying stuffs behind each other so I will say deposit the money in mutual benefit/Chapel Hill/Piggybank for now while you try to make him see reason. I particularly don't like the fact you want only your name on the land; recipe for disaster as your husband is not hiding his own funds; he is just not spending it wisely.

You should also understand where your husband is coming from: in some cultures, the 'worth' of the first son/husband of the first daughter is their ability to fund everyone's lifestyle without complaint while their own immediate family suffers.

It is a recurring theme so you re-orientate him in love and harmony to see that his family can and will survive without his handouts.

Also note that if he goes 360 and stops funding his siblings, it can cause problems for you'all.

You are one of the most intelligent women on this forum. I just love you

pocohantas:
[s]Oga keep quiet. Typical response. You always see types na, no be NL male you be. Always seeing what they want to see. SELECTIVE VISION.

Oya o, gist me what else you see? Great seer!

[/s]

I expected a smarter comeback tbh.. but then again I'm not surprised. Poco-dimwit-hantas!

pocohantas:
Of course, it hurts you that some women do not carry your matter for head. This gives credence to my point. Sisters, don’t kill yourself over man troubles, they like it ooo!!!

The ones that have horseband, how far? Everyday thread for Nairaland. So much for being antagonized for not having one. Looks like no woman must escape the hell you all bring.


Hahahahahaha!

A "hell" that you so desperately wish for!

That's why you can't help but comment on every marriage-related thread

I see you and your type on Facebook groups everyday, praying for a so called "horseband" with your post-wall self

Anni3e:
Shut up. I have two very rich brothers, I have never demanded from them, my family knows their boundary and don't interfere in each other's business.

So uncouth!

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe your husband's behaviour is as a result of your bitter and nasty attitude? Perhaps he sees his family members as a more viable investment over you..

Please go ahead and secure your own future and that of your kids.. because I'm sure that nigga is planning his own without you.

pocohantas:
The problem with Nigerian women is that you guys talk too much. At the end, your men don’t listen to you.

They only call you nags, petty, accuse you of trying to separate their family...etc

Talk less and act more! I don’t have time to be talking nonsense with you every time. I calculate my moves and proceed. After that, I activate my sit-down-dey-look-mode. If you wanna perish, you will perish alone.

But you don't have a husband though

Single ladies in their 30s always form bravado online but in reality, na your type dey mumu for husband pass

BrownLondon:
Madam, what's this nah?

Just because Australia denied you Visa, that's not the end of life...

LOL. Leave her.. she ain't even worth replying to.

Lionessza6:
1 .I think a lot African parents ( mothers in particular), tend to treat their sons as mini-kings who can do no wrong in their eyes. This is where the culture of Male entitlement starts from; the upbringing. The boys grow up with a sense of superiority that somehow absolves them of certain responsibilities.

2. Staying in toxic relationships for the children. In many cases,the children end-up worse off psychologically ,than kids coming out of healthy parents leaving apart .

3. The "if Kevin can do it ,you can do it too ".mentality. you have a lot of parents who see the neighbour's kid doing well selling bread ,& they start pushing their own children towards that trade or career without assisting them in what they are really good at so that they can too be a shining example in their own right. You see the results of this in many African markets ,everyone sells the samethings ,hardly will you find people who produce the products or selling something that is not readily available.

So in other words, women themselves are the instigators and gatekeepers of the same misogyny they cry & complain about??

Interesting

crackland:
Let them? Why do we have to let them?

Isn't it basic that a wife should be earning enough to be able to cater for herself and her children, just in case her husband slumps and dies the next minute?

The real problem here is that too many Nigerian women want to depend on their husband's wealth, or rather they want to fall-back on it. They have no bigger ambition than this.
Thank goodness I was not brought up around women of this sort.

Some people are simply generous to a fault and I bet the OP's husband falls in this category. He's not the first of his kind, and as a matter of fact I have a personal experience with such but I'd rather not share here.

The success of men like him almost always depend on the kind of wife he has because it's only a woman who has no financial weight in the eyes of her husband that will have no influence over him when it comes to financial decisions. FACT.

A husband who knows that his wife is at a financial level close or equal to his, will not take her opinions lightly and will want to find a way to heed to her warnings - this is a simple truth most women still don't want to accept.

Interesting perspective. You are absolutely right bro.

alphaNomega:
Stop forming woke and trying to be politically correct. If you grew up in abject poverty and was able to climb the social ladder to the elite level, would you deny your children the possession of your wealth after you die? Even if they were with bad behaviour? Which would mean you did a bad job as a parent anyway.

Children are entitled to their parents' wealth.

I saw a thread here not long ago about "children are not a retirement plan" or something like that ..
And folks on that thread agreed with the topic, speaking ill of parents and calling them "entitled" etc..

Would those same individuals keep the same energy here? Or would they hypocritically argue that children must inherit thier parents' wealth..

*Following..

Abouwaza:
Just come out and say it
You miss your magas paying their tithes hmmm

Everrest9:
They force you to live there?

LOL. I'm in the UK bro.

Stargurl20:
I've been wanting to ask this question; what joy do Nigerian men derive in affronting the Nigerian ladies? Is these same men who're worse, but expect something they cannot offer

Am I lying tho?

Why not debunk what I've said in a logical manner instead of deflecting.

Staphylococcus:
Long gibberish.

The world has moved past long composition that hot the nail at the head in summary.

If you quite aware about what's called social distancing and it's effect on the present pandemic, you won't be here composing bunkum and balderdash.

Huh? Speak English please

Lol. Are you seriously asking this question?

Not sure of those abroad o, but most Nigerian girls in Nigeria simply cannot AFFORD to leave home even if they wanted to

Many are jobless, depending on stipends from their multiple boyfriends, whilst the "independent and empowered " ladies that have a job are seriously underpaid and still expect a man to fund their lifestyle in one way or the other.

Nigerian girls are simply liabilities, waiting for a knight in shiny armour to come rescue them from their father's house.

Tboy1419:
. Stupid, I stay in Lagos, why are you afraid of death, either you like it or not you will still die one day, is very simple, you said you are hard working, no problem enjoy the fruit of your hard work in peace and allow we the hungry one to go to work and hustle so we can feed our family, yes I know am hungry but am not lazy like you that want the lockdown to continue, other countries are lifting there long down and you want the government to continue lockdown, what will you gain if the economy collapse, if I ask you to give me 20k now will you give me, since the lockdown what has the government don for there citizens, you want to lockdown people without food and money, stupid ideas of yours.

You don't honestly believe this about Exc2000 do you? Dude comes off like an I never chop.

Just sayin'

babajero:
You wrote full text book but still sounded empty.

LMAOO! Exc2000 the air head? ... go through all his posts, you sef will lose brain cells just by reading his lengthy trash talk

Acidosis:
I supported the lockdown at a time I expected aggressive testing, contact tracing, etc.

That wasn't done so there's really no point keeping people at home while testing 200 per day in a state with a high rate of community transmission.

The reality now is that the virus was here and still here.

So you've changed mouth

Sheunma:
you are the misinformed one here. Vomiting and diarrhea are all symptoms of covid19.

Says who? Your fellow Apes in white coats who call themselves Nigerian doctors?

maggilove:
Please help us tell them o, you can't fall sick in peace again, no hospital will attend to you. People are dying of disease that are more serious than novel corona virus but the count they are taking isn't making them concentrate on other sickness again.

Worst part is they are now classifying everything as Covid-19 in a pathetic attempt to justify the lockdown.

Go to isolation centres and see how scanty the place is.. just go and see how the few people there (I mean very few) are having all sorts of symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea etc.. all of which are NOT coronavirus symptoms. Nigerian health practitioners are so heavily misinformed about what this 'virus' is and it's so funny to watch.

If you have typhoid it's now coro,
Malaria nko, it's coro too.

I just question why the mass fear mongering and manipulation of figures... This virus is not as deadly as it's been portrayed! It's nothing more than an overhyped strain of the Flu.

cronsberg:
Just today I was making some random searches online as to why we in Nigeria seem so docile in the face of overwhelming oppression by our leaders, then I came across the history of the french revolution, and how it impacted them so much as to input the right to revolt in their constitution. They stormed the Bastille, killed off their monarchs and returned power to the people.

Most American states also have it in their constitutions the right of the people to revolt and change government, even the right to bear arms and use it to protect oneself from government tyranny. Thomas Jefferson also said when the government becomes afraid of the people you have freedom, but when the people become afraid of government you have tyranny.

With all these, it seems to me that Nigerians will come to a point where they cannot continue to take the oppression of leaders, then they will use their firm and inalienable right of revolt to force change in this country. The whole armed forces of this country including police, army ,navy etc used in controlling and enforcing inhumane laws, fraudulent financial crimes etc are not even up to a million. Yet we have 200million citizens in this country just sitting and watching a handful of people enjoying it all alone while you rest suffer on. People will come to that realization. Hopefully soon

Sorry bro I doubt this will ever happen.

The so called 'middle class' who have grown accustomed to generators and a mediocre standard of living will NEVER take to the streets to protest.. afterall, they can rent an apartment with little to no electricity supply, earn a pitiful N100k - N200k a month & drive a run down 2002 model Toyota or Lexus

The ones who may attempt an 'uprising', will be those living in abject poverty/suffering and can no longer survive ... and even if they protest (which again is highly unlikely), all it will take is the distribution of hot agege bread to disperse all of them back to their dark huts/ face me I face you.

Nigerians don't believe they deserve better. Trust me on this!

Marshalemmy:
That's very kind of the governor

What's 'kind' about it? That's his bloody job!

alezzy13:
Pure ignorance. The development of vaccine must pass through multiple layers of testing and verification which is why it takes so long to be certified.

All of these are published and peer reviewed, unlike the laughable farce occuring in Madagascar.

Well then, in the near future, when the "well tested, verified and certified" poison vaccine is released, please feel free to have yourself and your entire family injected with it!

Good day!

globalresource:
USA is a land of freedom compare to the UK

internationalman:
No wonder Nigerian police acts the way they do; they learned from their masters.


America is the definition of freedom where everyone is equally equal before the law.

I laugh in Japanese!!

USA is "free" indeed .. a place where the police can shoot your black ass for the fun of it in broad daylight and will get away with it a million times over! A place where millions of your fellow black men are under mass incarceration .. many of which are innocent of what they've been "convicted" of.

Yes! All hail America, the land of the free

Staphylococcus:
The stupid thing about this protest is that, their foolishness will affect others.

What's so stupid about protesting?? Are you aware these protests are going on all over the world..

.. go check out what's happening in Berlin, Germany for example.. where thousands of protesters fought back against the compulsory use of face masks so much so that violence broke out, and the police became overwhelmed by the people.

Notice how other races do not function under a slave mentality like most docile Africans do, that's why their own government works to make sure the country works for their citizens (this doesn't always apply to the blacks or other immigrants there) but you get my gist - if people are not happy, they will take to the streets and remind the government that they work for the people NOT the other way around!

Can you say the same for this useless country called Nigeria? Of course I don't expect you to grasp the concept of freedom of choice. Servitude is inherently engrained in your DNA

Protesters took to the streets of Hyde Park, London to protest against the lockdown, leading to hundreds of policemen being unleashed to rough-handle peaceful protesters and arrest many others ...

Really? So we should all start 'eating' a drug which we know so little about its side effects?

Later una go complain about Africa being used as guinea pigs, whereas that's exactly what's at play here. SMH.

Indeed.

..but your type will willingly take a rushed "covid-19" vaccine (without knowing the long term effects) just because your caucasian slave masters 'approved' it and told it's the only cure

Sagay212:
Lol so when you accept this vaccine and become a slave to Bill Gates like you claim, what happens? He will be controlling and monitoring you from USA abi? He will be watching as you are phucking your wife, girlfriend or Olosho and watching how you sh.it in the toilet or will be able to switch you on and off? How many people will he control. He will turn the everybody to his slave to what end exactly?
And if it is to fulfill what is written in the holy books, the why should a true born again be bothered? Since e sure for you say you holy, you should actually be happy and preaching to others to repent and be prepared for heaven. Whether you collect vaccine or not, you go kpai...even Bill Gates wey una dey accuse go kpai.

handsomeclouds:
I swear I knew they were going to do this!

I'm sure the ones they shipped to Nigeria days ago must have been poisoned too.

Just watch American movies and folow up on the history of terrorism and the involvement of jews, you will understand all their evil ways

Same reason why Dr Sebi died mysteriously.

These white terrorists will go a far as murdering anyone who provides an alternative to their evil medical agenda
