And rightly so. The Nigerian culture is a disease that can be spread if not properly managed.

Fallenhunter:
Botswana and Seychelles are pretty developed but okay by western standards they aren't developed. They are rapidly developing though with high GDP growth rates, good human rights records and rapidly improving infrastructure. Botswana in particular is quite developed and Ina few more years will be at European levels of development.

Jamaica and Haiti aren't the only black Caribbean islands but even if we consider only Africa nations that are moving in the right direction like Botswana, Rwanda even Ethiopia (although it has a long way to go) show that African nations can progress and become great.

Yes they are progressing, but haven't gotten there. Still far behind the rest of the developed world. India and Brazil have been ahead of this curve for a long while now and even they are not considered developed. Doesn't happen as quickly you think. It's going to take a long while yet. Unless they proceed at Dubai, Japan, China speeds which i highly doubt. I hope i see a developed black nation in my lifetime but being realistic, i doubt it's feasible. Hope to be proven wrong.

Fallenhunter:
There are developed black nations. Seychelles, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia (to an extent) etc. Rwanda is rapidly developing and Ethiopia is moving in the right direction. Many Caribbean countries are well developed. What is true for Nigeria and some of the 'loser' black countries isn't true for all of Africa.

Sorry but all those Countries you listed are not developed nations. You could term them developing but they are not developed. By Nigeria's standard they might seem developed, but by Western Standards, they are not.

The "developed Caribbean Countries"are not of the black race. The ones that are of the Black race are Jamaica and Haiti and those places are shit holes as well. Just as bad as the ones in Africa.

glink2015:
Your write-up alone show that you are tricky....

Continue anyway!

But don't use this as an avenue to ask for money

If he's providing value, why won't he ask for money?

The story might be made up but this stuff is reality in Nigeria and i'm sure its happened to lots of people.

If it's not gang members robbing you, it is the police themselves extorting (robbing) you.

Anyone with aspirations for better should seek and take any which way out.

Yeuniecesir:
Been a long time on this thread. I had to leave and take a break because I could not take the heat. Seeing golden mail here and there and people sharing their beautiful canny land stories. I just kept thinking so I had to leave. But am back temporarily. At least I have made progress ever since then
Did my ielts only once. L- 8.5 W-7 S- 8.5 R-8
Currently have a NOI from Alberta crs standing at 425
By God’s grace I would be back to share the golden mail news.

Wonderful, you went and powered up. Now you are the one about to turn up the heat even higher on us.
Wish you the best. Your invitation is coming. Destination 2020 for you.

Never ever thought i would find a thread with so many like-minded people. Nigeria is a shit hole. But the problem is not just Nigeria and its people per se, It's the problem of the Black man. There is something fundamentally wrong with the black man. He is backwards and animalistic. Barely evolved.

Like people before me noted, this is not self hatred. I am a black man but i choose not to be blind to what reality has shown me. There is not a single developed black Nation in the whole of this planet. Not One.

There is no hope for Nigeria, i just don't see it anywhere. Thus, like my fellow like minded people here, we are soon emigrating out to saner environments whereby we can adopt and continue to progress with the progressive cultures out there.

OMG! How do people survive here?

Sorry for the long post.
DELAY IS NEVER DENIAL!!!
This is not PPR it’s IELTS victory. Finally after multiple trials IELTS HAS FREED ME!!!
I started ielts August 2018 passed all but reading JJC I didn’t know the techniques for reading and I didn’t finish had 6. So I wrote immediately and that’s when writing started showing me pepper. Everytime 6.5 or even 6 with computer based. Finally after falling short in writing again by June 2019 I cried and cried. I’m a lawyer for Christ sake I have written harder exams what is this?? Finally nairaland directed me to the magnificent JOHNNYBRAVO. Guys this guy is a guru. I paid for a week only and I carefully followed all his instructions to the T got ready for the 17th August exams with BC. After the exam I felt it was fine. Result came out I saw the dreaded 6.5 again...hmmm at this point I was over it. I told everyone this Canada thing is not for me o. I applied for remarking after speaking to the lovely Onyinye that nairaland brought to my life. I still hustled funds to write with MOD result is coming out 11th of October. Back to this remarking after not hearing from this people after 28 days, I called UK on Monday and they said they would contact the regional office in Nigeria to find out what’s up. Last night I got the mail to come to the office.. I couldn’t sleep I prayed and prayed I even sent the mail here for people to help me figure out if from the mail there was a change of result lol. Woke up this morning prayed again and when I got to the office collected a white envelope opened it and saw 7 in writing!!!! Jesus I almost screamed in their office.BYE BYE IELTS. Pool here I come with 472!!!!
Advice: PLS DO NOT GIVE UP. YOUR GOOD NEWS IS COMING. DELAY IS NOT DENIAL. GOD WILL SHOW UP FOR U.
PLS IF YOU HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR IELTS ON YOUR OWN AND YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE RIGHT SCORES ESPECIALLY IN WRITING PLS ASK FOR HELP! IELTS IS NOT ABOUT DEGREE OR QUALIFICATION. IT IS THE HUMBLER OF MEN.

Wow, i love stories like this. It's not even that long. Congrats bro. I hope you become a Canadian Permanent resident by middle of 2020 latest.

jesmond3945:
a whiteman's country built by treasures from Africa? Why do they enjoy the loots from us and if any leader rise to oppose them, they shut him up.
Some rich people enjoy their money in naija, infact many do when on holidays.
Who told you they followed whiteman's blueprint? there is nothing like that. Nations develop, if there is patriotism and concerted effort to apply skills and wisdom to the betterment of its populace. i hope you know ghana and civ and sa can boast of 24hrs power. even egypt and so on.
Would you want to buy innoson or toyota?
would you want to buy lake rice or mama gold?
would you want to holiday in tinapa or hawaii?

You cannot go far in a whiteman's world with this mentality. i know what I see everyday with them and I don't expect you a blackman to despise your kind out of indoctrination by white supemacist.

First let me answer your questions cause it's fun lol
1) Innoson or Toyota. Of course i would go to Toyota due to it's historically renowned quality and low cost maintenance. Even the British and American would rather buy reliable Japanese vehicles. Has nothing to do with hating where the manufacturer is from. It just makes sense.
2) I would buy Lake rice to support the economy because i can't imagine there's much difference in quality. i wouldn't be able to taste it anyway if the sauce is good.
3) Hawaii of course by far. Once again it has more to offer and i've never been there. I can always go to Tinapa any time if i wished. I'm not into blind patriotism.

I'll just add that i am someone who tries to purchase locally produced goods as much as i can, not to the detriment of my quality of enjoying such goods and services of course. It only makes sense. The Cologne i currently use is made in Nigeria and it smells quite good. I'll give props where props is due. I am not into blind patriotism (I repeat).

Fine, those countries have constant power supply, that's a start. But that isn't even close to the hallmark of an advanced society. There's far more to it than constant power. And i'll note, Egypt is not a black man's country. Egyptians are not Negros. They are closer to Arabs.

Doesn't matter where the natural resource is gotten from or if you have it at home. The question is what are you doing with it? If you don't know what to do with it and the best you can do is sell it in it's raw form then that's on you and it's nothing to boast about or point fingers for.

You cannot go far in a whiteman's world with this mentality.

You are the one that won't go far in life with your delusion and denial of reality. It's like you don't know how to comprehend words written. Already told you i treat each individual regardless of race with the same due respect. The thing is, only a blind, self deluded person would fail to see that all led black nations are backwards and underdeveloped. Full of corruption from head to toe. Every single one of them is a third world Country. And that's why black people are always looking to immigrate to the White man's Country i.e England, Ireland, Germany, Australi, Canada, USA etc.

My success or failure in life has absolutely nothing to do with my views on this. It depends on my skill as an individual and the value i'm able to provide. I know you wish me failure because i'm freely telling you that Nigeria is a third rate failure of a Country and it won't get better in either of our lifetimes. So you can stay here and continue to enjoy it. Some people seem to genuinely do. So Goodspeed.

Why are Nigerians not practical people. Everything na divine intervention.

Kikinky1:
House, let us all believe the mighty hand of God in this journey of ITA. No matter how high the waves, it will definitely come low. Our God is mighty. To everyone who believes without a single doubt will get invited before end of 2019.
Then if you have doubt and can't help it, ask the Holyspirit for help in that regards.
PRAISE THE LORD

Lol you only have to take one look at a White man's country and then a black mans country to know what you wrote is utterly delusional. I'm not self hating. I'm just one to say things as i see them. I wish it wasn't this way but that is reality and i will not delude myself just because i happen to be born a black person.

When all our rich people (celebs, politicians, business men) get money, where is the first place they run to, to do vacation? is it not white man's Country? Even the Asian and Arab countries that are now successful and doing well, did it by following the white man's blueprint (See Japan, China, Dubai, Singapore etc). This is a white man's world, it doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. But reality is what it is. Too bad. I still enjoy myself and have no problem relating with people of any background so long as they are relatable. I continue to respect people. But the truth remains that the black man can not run a society adequately. Sad but true.

jesmond3945:
as usual self hating blackman just to pander to the whims of a whiteman. Go and read what happened immediately after brexit against the poles or is it what Americans are doing to mexicans. The same people you claimed who built south africa why can't they allow them own 30% of what belongs to them? look at what americans did to the indians or havn't you heard about the mormon massacre?
Cur yourself from self hatred. black and white are the same thing

Lol you are a financial illiterate. Even your own government prefers external loans to local ones because they are cheaper due to lower interest rates. If you knew simple math, you would understand why it is viable to borrow at lower interest from foreign financial institutions to invest in higher interest yielding Countries. It's almost like free money. All you know if "hustle" "hustle" "hustle". Your hustle unlikely to bear you much in an unstable environment.

lilwetdick:
And then?

where is your source that foreigners get low interest loan from Banks,

Foreigners come to Nigeria to build small businesses and then grow them to large scale, which loan did they use to start?

Many of them started from scratch just like anybody. the only guys who started big, where the big foreign multinationals with lot of cash to spend.

No Nigerian bank will give a foreigner loan when he is not a permanent resident, the only time they give the loans is when their business is stable in nigeria and interest rate is the same as every one else

Are you typing all this garbage with a straight face?

In case you are the one with the write up in the OP, please learn the difference between "than" and "then", ignorant Oponu.

Nigeria has everything abi? Is that why your Presidents have to travel abroad for medical care? It that why 80% of the population live in poverty? Is that why youth employment is so desperately high? Is that why most of the "graduates" i come across can barely write or speak proper English grammar? Is that why most roads are filled with port holes? Is that why after 59 years of independence we still can't manage satisfactory electricity generation? Is that why around 80% of our GDP is based on one natural resource that we can't even process by ourselves?

Enough wasting my time on hopeless mumus like you. More Nigerians will continue leaving the shores of this country for saner environments and nothing the envious likes of you can do to prevent it. You can continue to suffer in this forsken land like you've always done.

timesup234:
Thanks for the mention. I am totally against Nigerians traveling in any form. Be it to study (We have better schools here and school in general don't guarantee anything), greener pasture (Nigeria is the best place to become successful, the opportunities in Nigeria can't be found in Europe and America combined together), tourism (Waste of money, use the said money to invest in something lucrative and you will become a billionaire in just 10 years). Nigeria is a goldmine, the Nigerian dream is the only dream. The American and Europe dreams were lies told to fool us. They never existed

You have to live abroad to enjoy this.

Orpe7:
Best solution

They would still rather be poor in a nice environment than be destitute in a shit hole with no hope. Blacks are always ghetto no matter where u put them, their own country o, a white man's country o. That's why the American ghettos are filled with Blacks too. It doesn't mean you as an individual can't back yourself to succeed and stand out regardless what many of your race end up doing.

Bottom line is i would rather start at the bottom in a land of opportunity with hope and avenue to work my way up than be stranded in Nigeria with very little hope of doing better.

ladymarshall:


But the blacks there are worse off than the whites and colored tho.

Sounds about right.

dat9jaguy:
First an inspection of the site: 2weeks after disaster.
Next,Committee to find out remote cause bs:3 months.
Then,contract negotiations and signing: 6 months.
After which, mobilization to site:another 3 months.
Construction proper:2 years.
Finally, declaring the road open with much funfair: 3 months after completion of project.

All in all,I'll say 3 years,3 months and 2 weeks.

Lol @ all these people getting mad because they live in a shit hole and are in denial about it.
Call me shit all you want. It doesn't change the reality of what's around you.
I don't blame you because you've never experienced proper civilization, you only see it on your t.v and computer screens. Continue watching.
The rest of us who know what's up, will live it.

etrouble:
And you are your family are in what you just called a Shithole, that means you are Shit.

.

If we no get that independence, we for be like South Africa by now. And maybe we wouldn't all be rushing to get out. Hiss.

Babyibi:
Happy independence people...
Can we use BCS foundation in Business Analysis to get points in the 2 or more certificates or it has to be BCS certification in IT?

Your lord has nothing to do with it. These people no dey go church. They are practical people who roll up their sleeves and get to work. Not wishful thinking religious heads who think you'll just close your eyes and make a wish to some invisible ghost and things will start happening.

TingSpace:
The lord bless these folks for making me see such beautiful structures

This is the unfiltered truth i've been trying to tell people for a while now.

Blacks are far more xenophobic, prejudiced and racist than the white man in this day and age.

The only reason why we never truly had a good chance to show these "qualities"is because we've never had the upper hand. We've always been backwards so we've been the race preyed upon rather than the reverse.

What happened in South Africa is just a small microcosm of what the black man is capable of when faced with mass immigration into his Country from lesser Countries. The funny thing is that the blacks in South Africa are in no way responsible for how well the nation is doing. It's all thanks to the Apartheid Dutch Colonists (and some Indians) who built that Country up to what it is today. The black (South Africans) will destroy the Nation given half the chance.

lonlytroy:
Blacks are more recist than white i swear

There has to be more to this story though. How did he survive for 2 years between 2017 and 2019 with no money? Why are the officials taking pictures with him like he's a celebrity? Very weird.

Please don't mind some of these bad belle people in this thread. Your story is inspiring and that of real struggle. You have persevered and triumphed. We all know the only reason you took the chance was because of the state of Nigeria and its educational system. Your advanced degree from France is far far more legitimate and substantial than anything you could have gotten from a Nigerian School.

My advice is that you stay back in France and continue to work while you should also start applying for Express Entry to get to Canada and become a permanent resident. Nigeria is going to the dogs. You don't want to come back here and get trapped. Goodluck.

Most importantly...Nigeria is a Shithole!

Lool I laugh die for this comment. Thank you for the entertainment jare. Now back to cold hard reality for me.

iRyan:
Lol my brother the thing just weak. You go see them in their sufferness looking like disease and opening their mouth to say "he loves me, he has been so good to me, he's faithful, he's merciful blah blah...

If there's a God ruling over our affairs then I would like to meet him and gave him a resounding slap because he is clearly a wicked, partial, narcissistic, egotistical, incompetent, inept, and crazy psychopath that wants to torture his children for eternity including the ones that served him all their lives but misinterpreted his holy book he even though they asked him to send them his holy spirit to help them understand but it is their fault that a loving God doesn't know how to pass a message across that can be understood unanimously by all his children lol...

The deeper you analyze this religion of a thing, the stupider it appears and has you know it definitely wasn't the orchestration of a supernatural intelligent being.

Correct Guy. Wish you the best in Germany. Na Canada P.R boyz dey wait for here. Lufthansa my choice of Transport when that happens soon. I need full enjoyment for the final trip out of this hell hole.

MidEastPrince:
Hello guys,

I got series of PMs this today about my last post! One of the things we made clear is that whatever questions or contributions I have would be posted here! So please, kindly post your questions and comments here on the thread! I will not be replying private mails please!

*****

That said, I am happy to inform you that i booked Egyptair as against my other option of Turkish Airline. Also, I’d be one of the first set of customers this month that would be flying with the newly introduced Egyptair’s Airbus A330 MS876 aircraft from Lagos to Cairo. This new aircraft was introduced at the start of this month and has started flying today!

This is as against the previously used Boeing 737 which most of my colleagues referred to as ‘Molue’.

With this new and way bigger aircraft, I am assured that economy class travelers like me would get value for our money!

Also, I will be giving a comprehensive review of the Lagos to Cairo flight on the 20th and also the promise of the 5 Star Hotel stay during the long layover. So stay tuned here as I’d be providing pictures and my usual commentary!

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your evening!

Lol i like this guy. Me i lost religion 8 years ago via an elective religion course i took in my final year undergrad program abroad.
I learned through that course that there was never any god. Christianity and its rules evolved over time with the culture just as it continues to do today. You can interprete that big rubbish book anyhow you like. That's why there are so many denominations and useless prophets that don't agree with each other. Just pick and choose whatever narrative or agenda you want to push.

Nigerians are a bunch of gullible religious mumus who cant see whats right in front of them. With their yama yama country they'll still be doing god this god that. The Japanese dey serve any god? You no see how their country fine reach? Same mumu nigerians will be saying glory to god when they get immigrant visa to escape the hell hole their fellow religious mumus created in their home country. Religion is a curse. It does not improve anyone's life. Just deludes you with fairy tales about invisible friends and guardian angels.

Religion is for the weak minded who cant face the cold hard truth of reality. We are animals that were born and soon after will die just like every other living thing. Just like the goats, cats, dogs. You too will surely die. Theres no special heaven where you will live forever. That's fairy tales written by your fellow human beings from a long time ago.

iRyan:
And who f are you to ask me to shut up? The last time I checked I am entitled to my own opinions, if you have any problem whatsoever with that you can jump off a cliff for all I care.

I blame your brain for being too retard*d to study and question patterns of how the world works. Travel across Africa and see thousands of God's children suffering and dying to extremely high degree. It is even worse in wartorn countries where children are being separated from their parents, where they are also starving and suffering emotionally, psychologically, financially, physically and mentally and dying by the thousand by both natural and manmade causes. What kind of picture does that paint of a benevolent god? What kind of god shows mercy to some of his children while leaving some to suffer terribly and perish and still wants his children to praise and worship him and tell him his loving and compassionate? An earthly father wouldn't treat his children the way god - a supposed heavenly father is treating his children, unless he is wicked, vengeful and an outright maniac.

You sit behind your computer, with a roof over your head, filled belly and some peace of mind and have the effrontery to talk about God's mercies because you are just ignorant and too dumb to think objectively. If God was that merciful the world wouldn't be this messed up because the cries of his children would have awakened him to be on his toes in governing the affairs of the world.

The patterns of occurrences and outcomes the world over doesn't point to a supreme being intervening. Outcomes and occurrences are intentionally or unintentionally orchestrated by us. When we get involved in an accident, it is an unintentionally orchestrated outcome because we walked into our death unintentionally.

When we put our differences aside as a nation and buckle down to fix the country, it would be an intentionally orchestrated outcome. And should that ever happen, people like you would run forum to forum, claiming the mercy of god is manifesting in Nigeria, forgetting the times we suffered and god did nothing while we endlessly and tirelessly cried unto him.

We have always being on our own since when we lived in caves and in forests, bad things have always happened and will always happen us regardless of our beliefs or faiths, it is the world we live in. We built this world and our country ourselves no one did it for us. Most of the problems bedevilling our world is our faults. I don't know that a perfect and compassion being is puppeteering us and still making a mess of the whole show.

I have not uttered a single word of prayer in nearly five years and my life has been just as fine as everyone else around me. The very religious ones that pray day and night, some of them; their lives aren't any different from mine, while some, I am better than because I worked for it and they are waiting for your merciful God to intervene.

The last time I was in Nigeria I had a road accident that could have been a fatal if not for a last minute decision I took, I escaped death by the skin of my teeth. People have prayed and plied that same road and died but your merciful god did nothing, I guess he is waiting for the government to build better roads so that he can claim the glory when accidents becomes mitigated?

Aright then. goodluck and have fun.

luvyaself95:
Am not gonna put all my heart in this relationship because before i broke up the first time i don't and that why am not in pain.

Lol you sound like someone with little experience with women.
She'll "admit she was wrong" because she knows thats what you want to hear and thats what it takes to get you back.
She will cheat on you again as soon as she finds someone that benefits her again in some other way.
Go ahead and get with her again. Look forward to your future thread on nairaland crying about your new dilemma.

luvyaself95:
sometime i think the advices you guys give here are not relevant to what someone want.
because how she is going to use me when am not stupid she never use me before let alone now if we come back now.
and if i want to sex any girl i will but that not on my mind for now.
this girl know her mistake and she admit it so it that bad ni...

Truth is she is just going to use you again. Only a mumu would go back thinking there is a future.
You don't really miss her. You just miss having a woman. If you had another correct babe you wouldn't give this cheater the time of the day.
But since you are alone and lonely, getting back with her is tempting to you.

luvyaself95:
master grammatician would you come to my house and collect my phone and help me edit.
second i don't really miss her she is the one that miss me most because she beg me like i said the post am just thinking maybe things can work between us again nobody can tell
and no matter how your ex was you will still miss her
if she is good you will miss her goodness
if she is bad you will still miss that time you will be thinking how she bad is to you.

Massive Congrats! See you on that side soon.
