Generational cuteness

I don't care about your politicians and you.
I don't even want to know what you are yarning.
You deserve your leaders.

I didn't ask you to agree with me.
I only asked you to be reading an opposition's view with clarity. You wrote something, I said I agree and you still came up writing what no one even knows.

Pick a convenient struggle and stick to it.
Even us here we don't want ya'll back home to come and ruin our chances. . Abi you want to come a day wash toilet?

I work as a CCA in a care home owned by a Nigerian here in Canada. All our patients are whites. Bros, they love me more than their own children o, especially because they know it's not eye service I'm doing. My employer is a renowned obgyn and has children who are God fearing and doing very well. They're not morally reprehensible just because their parents raised them here.

I agree that y'all are millionaires in Nigeria and we are the poor ones who have to slave for the whites.

I hope your children agree with you in 30 years.
This is my last post here, by the way.
I found a more worthwhile and engaging thread to occupy my time on Facebook so I'll leave you with this.

I come from a comfortable background. My grandparents in their days were successful merchants who dealt in food and clothings in Lagos, and my uncles and parents were lucky to have enjoyed when Nigeria was better. Education was almost free or at least affordable, there were opportunities to further their education and training abroad.

My uncle came back and worked with the MOE until retirement. He was a director. He was able to build a couple of flats while in service, and he rented them out. He also started a consulting business. Then the government owed workers who were his tenants. They couldn't pay rent. The patrons of his business had to prioritize, and chose food over business solutions. Uncle's children have asked him to come abroad because their father will just shrivel up and die in Nigeria. After 35 years of service.

My father?
One of the most brilliant agronomists ever to have come from Nigeria. Did so well in his field of study that he was respected everywhere. Then he was ill. The doctors said it was spiritual attack. That was the diagnosis until he had an aneurysm and thankfully went home to his maker before the disgrace became too much. No diagnosis. Or was there?

A country where even market women in Lagos Island send their kids abroad is where you're saying ALL of us should stay. I hear you.
Stay.
Build very well.
Put your trust in PENCOM.
Wait for the building of metro rail.
ASUU will soon call off strike.
Boko Haram will surrender.
Education at CU and Babcock will be free.
Inventions will be from only Nigeria.

I'm not just waiting around for that to happen when I can even for no reason.
I know you will still come and write one thing one thing.
But if you search your mind very well this night, I know you won't mind relocating abroad.

See what a fellow Nigerian was able to achieve by getting out of that shithole nation called Nigeria.

she would have given birth in the UK but Nigeria get her the opportunity

i hope you know she was audited in the voice UK but wasnt selected

Why didn't she give birth there ooooo?
Hian.
Why did she run back to abroad?
Can't her dear Jboy make it with his green passport?

thebosstrevor:
interesting, i just laugh when i read what you wrote

it seems you know what happens in every nigerian home.

you are very funny, have you read about the amish community, you think all what you wrote dont happen in the developed world

all what you mention is not only a nigerian stuff, it seems you are not even expose in where you stay, rituals also occur in developed world

it has been reported many times in the news.

We've just said the same thing.
It happens every, every where.
Your Nigeria is not the saintly and moralistic place you're painting it to be.
Morals this, morals that, and people are buying WAEC results. Parents pay for admission slots not merited.

See, in an argument, sometimes the other party will agree with you. I've agreed with you twice now.
It's just that you're reading it with one kind of eye.
Peace and Unity, brother.
I enjoin you to keep all your family in your wealth in Nigeria and help as many people as possible make the society sane.
Maybe with luck, Fela Durotoye will win and Nigeria will become the most desirable country to live in by 2023.

thebosstrevor:
dont think nigerians in nigerians are stupid, they are more mentally stronger than you

Most of the things that work in Nigeria is because of other nigerians

All the Nigerians building startups in Nigeria are all from abroad, why did they not become successful there is because there are plenty of competition. if you want to be recognise, to build things come to nigeria with top notch skills, if you love your comfort zone and you are comfortable with being among those in the rat race, you can stay there. we are not begging you to come back but this country will be built whether you like it or not.

tiwa savage, jason, don jassey, dbanj,etc are all from abroad, they are recognised for their act, something they would not have achieved abroad.

even some british and american born Nigerians are now wanting to be part of our entertainment industry.

Why didn't Tiwa Savage give birth in Nigeria

thebosstrevor:
Moral standards are high in Nigeria even in Africa, we are exceptional
i dont know Praise Fowowe and i am not a consultant

Now for those that wont travel abroad what is your advice for them, that they should continue trying until they get it?

You don't know Praise Fowowe.
You're not a consultant.

I put it to you that moral standards in Africa are at an all-time low.
Your children that you people claim respect you, do they obey out of love for your feelings and safety for themselves or because they know that any small mistake will earn them a spine deforming slap?

Your country boys stealing panties and sleeping with their mother's corpses for money rituals were raised in North America?
The girls who cohabit with their boyfriends on campus but are virgins at home were brought up in Europe?
It's end time brother. Don't tight anything to your chest.
Nigeria doesn't even care about you.
My advise is for those who want to stay is to come and meet you this Christmas season.

thebosstrevor:
if you want to talk about morality

the western world have nude beach for orgies, swingers clubs where a married man will take his wife to have sex with others not talk about black guys, homosexuality, transgender, legalization of marijuana ,they want to feminise men, so that is the good morality you want to preach about. moral standard in the western world is down.

life abroad doesnt make sense for everyone, some immigrant are better off in Nigeria

i know people who were practicing in Nigeria and lost that dream abroad.

what about people who left their good jobs in nigeria and went abroad to achieve nothing, they wish they can come back but they are ashamed.

Many hope will be lost if we dont tell people that they can also make it in Nigeria.

Moral standards in the world is down. Nigeria isn't any better. You can call Praise Fowowe and ask him.
I totally agree that some immigrants are better of being home.
SOME.
Me and my family are better off being here. We're capitalising on the opportunity Nigeria didn't offer us.
I agree again that some people get here and lost it.
We, we're not losing it.
When you're leaving Nigeria for anywhere, even Ghana, do it with sense.
If you come here and get a survival job, do it and improve on your skills to get a better job.
Not doing McDonald's for 10 years.
Come legally and don't intend or try to play smart anything.
Be optimistic.
Work hard. It's in your naija blood anyway.
You'll be fine.
If you're not, go back home and consult thebosstrevor

Thebosstrevor how market na?
How your country building business coming along?

thebosstrevor:
you are the one embarrasing urself. I have been in this country for 7years. I didnt give excuses. I adapted and didnt let entitlement mentality in my life just because i studied abroad.

Nigeria maybe hell for but it surely is working for me.all the guys who brought ideas back to nigeria are doing great. We had to start fresh again and cut expenses and build smartly.

Asking for good healthcare is entitlement mentality? I'd like to see the face behind this moniker and compare it with one I know of people making it.

All your study abroad was a huge waste sir.
You've not shown us how we can make it if we return. How do we know we won't die in Oshodi by falling materials off the trucks?
Can you guarantee my son that he'll graduate in record time?
Talk true, were you allowed to stay after your student visa expired?
Why did you return? Swear by ayelala

So you didn't mention anything?
Haba.
How's being in another country an embarrassment?
How's it a bad thing to not want to die if I can help it?

You are not the type who would be on the school's debate team.
Bring point, you're throwing tantrums.
Make a list, you're saying somebody is doing great.
Did I ask you to tell a story?

Just shift abeg.
I'm not the one that asked you to pay tax and not see what it's been used for.

Ugosample:
I'm not discouraging him tho.....

I'm just saying as it is


Beg, cheat, deceive, borrow, save, however, just make sure when it matters most, you can prove you have that amount

True. I get it now.

Ugosample:
na reality I dey tell you so

Then the country will be populated by idiots

Like idiots raised to power 3

I give up.
Raised to power what?
Cubic idiots

Ugosample:
you are NOT paying the money o


It's just proof of funds /settlement funds

money you will use to sort yourself when you get to Canada

You don't have to have 4m coming in sir. Some people come with lesser, having spent out of it or returned the loans. For many people it's 4m on paper but true cash at hand no reach like that.
Don't discourage this man na.

Mizwisdom:
I'm sure you know what works cause you live here. The question is unnecessary

...

Live where?

You're not talking about me.

Mizwisdom:
I think theboss is just trying to help people see the light, there's no need to attack him with questions. Let me sha help him. I've read on this forum about tax, our tax isn't as high as it is abroad, I also think morality is higher here, for guys it's a patriarchal country, for women not the same. We get away with many things down here like you still see pips living in houses where they owe 2 whooping years rent! eventually they will leave without paying, one can live off relatives here conveniently . You gat no house? u might get accommodation and free feeding. Too many stuff I can mention that we gat. I've got no problem with pips that want to travel for greener pastures because destiny differs but I think these guys are trying to help us think and plan.

That's how to make it. If people live in a house I built from my retirement money and don't pay for two years that's a good thing.
Living off relatives is good. Being a liability and feeding off the sweat of others is encouraged. Because that's how Nigeria will be great again.

Please CRA has sent us mail on GST and all. Let me go and splurge.
You and your bosstrevor should make Nigeria work on.

sats:

Boss, people that are passing it dont have 2 heads
I am not that dull

First off, it's not even about dullness. You won't pay that kind of money and not out in effort to study so you will pass.
Second, you're not paying 4m in one day. Savings, savings and more savings.

I wish you all the best.

Please read all he's said. I only asked him what works since he said everything in Nigeria works.
Morality?
I'll pass on morality. Orgies organised with thanks for coming, budding lgbt clubs, yahoo boys?

I am not attacking him. He's the one trying to make it look like living outside Nigeria doesn't make sense.

I've attached my own experience, let him come up with proof.

thebosstrevor:
lot of excuses.

Spare part business of any machinary is a global business.

Who imports fake product in nigeria. Govt or shady businessmen.

It's a wonder you still have the 'chest' to reply.

Mention, you can't.
Okay. Here's another one.

Give me a blueprint of how you will stay and make Nigeria work. You have to explain, on an average income, how you and your family will make it. If you don't, quietly leave this thread.
You've embarrassed yourself enough.

Beautyaddy:
Huh, good luck on that endless waiting.

If I don't get an answer then I'd take it that his argument was not even tenable. I'm giving him the opportunity to enlighten me, guy man isn't.

thebosstrevor:
if things doesnt work how come people are still here making cash. THings are definately not perfect but things are working.

Just mention it.
What works?
How does it work?

People make money from selling generators, spare parts and servicing generators. That's why the power sector is the way it is.

People bring substandard products from China and sell at crazy prices. How won't they make it?

Your politicians make it.
Your people in FIRS, FRSC and public offices make it.

Hell, your market women in Lagos Island make it.
But one morning, small kidney problem and y'all are starting to put it out there. Why can't your taxes pay for free healthcare?

thebosstrevor:
that is between you and the company. Go to HR and complain with proof.

It true that some employers dont obey labour laws here that is because employees also are scared to complain.

Is it HR that is busy kissing a$$ that will answer you? Your trade unions and labor Congress who dem don Epp?
You still haven't mentioned something, one thing that works in our dear country. We dey wait.

thebosstrevor:
misdiagnosis is a world wide problem even gani was misdiagnosed in the US.

YOU can get good healthcare if you want in nigeria. Nigeria has its problems which is created by its eitizens. Systems are run by humans and these humans in nigeria will destroy the system and run abroad for refuge.

Good healthcare where? Can you all afford Reddington and St. Nicholas? Why is the owner of Lagoon hospital always in Massachusetts for treatments? Didn't he buy equipments for his hospital in Bourdillon?

You're not even making this thing interesting. Just bring one example of something that works, Oga. Name one thing that works.
One.

thebosstrevor:
so there are no strikes and GMO abroad.

Most of what you wrote are just excuses.

YOu make it seems like nothing in nigeria works.

At least I stated mine. List what works let's go from there.

Excuses?
Poor healthcare is an excuse?
Maternal mortality is an excuse?
Misdiagnosis is an excuse?

I'm waiting for your list of what works. In any sector or state. Let's see what you mean by excuses.

speedyconnect3:
Please how was the colon cancer later diagnosed?

Was it in Nigeria?

No sir.
It was diagnosed in India, many months too late.
This happened to my husband's cousin. He's dead now. UCH and National Hospital diagnosed ulcer.

If I ever meet you, you'll get a hug, a bowl of African salad and a massage.

You took the words out of my hands(mouth).

chigoizie7:
lol. yes, purpose comes before money, ask a young nigerian child what they want to be when they grow up and you will see sincerity in their answers, however, they remain persistent on what they want until they write jamb and they couldn't be admitted because they don't know any one or have money to bribe their way, they u will see focus and purpose change.

The few that got admitted, graduated but couldn't secure a job because they are not connected will immediately change the purpose .

na person wey 1st chop de think other things.

Every focus now lands on making money, because here in naija once u have enough money , u can get anything done.

even the ones that didn't go to formal education, has their dreams shattered because there is no support anywhere.




if I know whit assurance that once I am done school that I am going to be gainfully employed no matter the course I read. that my researches will always be funded . why wont I be calm and focused on my purposes?



I work in on of the financial institutions in naija, Nnewi precisely is where my branch is located, Nnewi is also a town where the teaching hospital is located, I interact with people because of my job. most of these medical/ nursing students are not here because of the passion for the job but because they are employable anywhere with high pay. that is what naija environment has made them to understand.


here u read medicine because u can or because u r intelligent not because u have passion for humanity
all because u wouldn't want to die of hunger.

in USA, u read medicine because of the humanity reasons or some reasons that is not entirely about the money.


in USA , u read fine and applied arts because of the passion for that.

here in NAIJA u only read fine and applied arts because that is the only department that can offer you an admission and everyone is ok with it, why? because what matters is that once u graduate, u can work in a bank even when u read hausa language provided you are well connected.




the system here is so messed up. it Is not that we dont know about purposes in life, but we cant do them on empty stomachs.


here, there is nothing like building a career. it is all about surviving first.

the only set of people that came close to having careers are teachers/lecturerers , but what kind of career would that be when a professor in mechanical engineering doesn't know what to do his car when it develops a fault or a professor in electrical engineering calls an apprentice electrician to come change bulbs in his house?





Nigerians are just looking for countries that can give them what Nigeria cant give them. Nigerians do better in a saner climes than in Nigeria.

thebosstrevor:
stop your lies, you cant clean toilet abroad and build a house in Nigeria. it is impossible

you think abroad is what is been showned on tv

Bros, some of us don't even want to build house anywhere. How about not dying because they treated me for ulcer when all along it was colon cancer?

Should we compare the rate of misdiagnosis in the healthcare sectors?
Nevermind, where would you even get the data from?

toboy:
Hey Justewise, First time I am ever getting a direct quote from you. Such an honour!

It depends on the angle you see it from. Alot of immigrants are realising how difficult it is to raise children in the West. First, your generation will loose a greater part of their African identity and some parents do regret raising their children in the West. Suffice to say that raising your children here, they risk being white-washed and loosing important virtues such as family, respect for elders, community etc. which are very important to their core-identity and mental health. Secondly, a lot of parents are now contemplating if it is worth it to raise their children in an environment where they have the tendency and fear of being racialised right from childhood till their entire life. Whereas a person raised in Nigeria is sheltered away from racism or police brutality. One of the Nigerian family I met here suggest raising kids in Singapore. An environment where they can get good education and be sheltered away from racism and drugs.

In terms of good education and health care you can definitely get them in Nigeria. There are international standard school systems in Nigeria depending on your socio-economic status. Some of the high school educational system in Nigeria pay higher tuition fees than a Canadian university, annually. You are right in terms of security, as I mentioned earlier Nigeria has a big security problem than it seems.

The Western system is built based on "extractive principle". Their system will suck 80% from you, then give you 20%. It is important to consider and weigh all options carefully. Take US., for instance, only 10% of the elites in that country owns 77% of the country's wealth. This is
a striking inequality that is worse off than Nigeria.

These international schools sir, the BIS and Loyola Jesuits, the children of those who go there are people who don't intend for them to have Nigerian degrees. Trust me.
The way they troop into our facility for medicals after A-levels.
Reason am, my guy.
These kids are not just Nigerians. They almost always have dual citizenship, or have the means to school abroad.
