If he was any good, do you really think he will be a divorcee? The guy's manliness just got bored and he's just looking for a lil' honey pot. Excuse my French, but if i were you i would start looking for a dude with a clean slate.

@OP

You are not mad or crazy my brother, in fact i salute you for this. My only advice is for you to make sure that you create a soft landing for yourself in Nigeria. Soft landing could be relatives to shelter, feed or help till you secure a job or make sure you secure a job ahead of your relocation. With a job in hand, Nigeria is the best place in the entire world to live. Seriously considering the option myself here in America, too bad i let some opportunities pass by few years back but it's not too late. Ile koko ntagbe,

Kobojunkie:
Out of curiosity, how has that proverb worked out for the "Yoruba" people you speak of? Aren't they the same who, like so many millions across Africa, live at the mercy of the 1% who continue to steal their birthright daily?? ROFLMAO!

What is this?? You attack everything and anything on any topics. It must be that time of the month or some mid-life identity issues.

Kobojunkie:
I have definitely had me enough of this nonsense to last me the rest of the year !!

**Sigh!

Pele, he go better.

Kobojunkie:
STOP !!! ENOUGH!!! The only way change you seek can happen is if people like you stop looking to KISS ARSE of one or any of the politicians and state things as you should. Stand up for right NO MATTER WHO IS INVOLVED! Your BABANGIDA rant only reveals you are no different from all the others who contain to make sure this continue continues where it has been. Spare me the sermon until you get for yourself a better mindset in this.

Very funny, You sure like to flirt with abuse don't you? Whose @$$ am i kissing? GEJ? for what? The man is a victim of circumstances, he just found himself being the president cause his boss died. The man didn't even make Campaign promises of his own. All i'm saying is, give the chap some more time and let's see what happens. Trust me, the other Politicians in Nigeria right now are far worse. Point to a Nigerian Politician that can do better? We are recycling illiterates and empty barrels. Folks that has no clue, im not here to be GEJ spokesperson, i'm just saying he has no miracle to perform within the short time he's been in office. Have a blessed day woman.

Kobojunkie:
I beg to differ. Nigerians are more known to settle for that which they ought not to, and make up excuses for even the inexcusable. You have someone who has been in ASO ROCK, as 2nd in command to the First man for over 2 years, Someone who has himself chaired some really serious committees in that time, and you still think 7 months is not enough time to expect that person to at least be able to show some work?


The silly thing is people like you continue to selectively compare these people with others without really making sure to apply truth. In 2 years, Obama has actually done more than Yar adua and Jonathan combined can ever think they have accomplished in their years in politics. I suggest you go back and check the records to understand why someone like me could make such a statement.

I do hope that this is all internet yarns and that in your real life, you do not settle for mediocrity in much the same way you pretend to on this issue.

Pretend? No sweetheart, no fronting here what u see is what you get. The only realistic way for Nigeria to have a steady electricity is by going nuclear. And with the way things are, Nigeria can NOT afford that right now. For changes to really take place, Nigeria and Nigerians has some serious sacrifices to make. It's not the issue of mediocrity, it's the issue of reality. The ills that has taken place in Nigeria since Babangida will take several serious years to correct and that is the reality. We can start with GEJ but the corrections will not end with him. Let's be real here, even the so-called world powers are now making adjustments to their situations because good things takes time and serious minded folks to achieve. I'm not sure Nigeria and Nigerians are there yet.

what Military?? You mean arrows and bow??

Kobojunkie:
No one is asking for miracles, we are simply asking that he at least move -- do something worthy of 7 months. By the way he has essentially been interning for the most part of 2.5 years as yar adua's BACKMAN, I think it is right to expect him to hit the ground running. . . we don't need to treat him as if he has no clue what aso rock politics is like. You do that for people who are brand spanking new to aso rock, not to people who have been sleeping in aso rock for well over 2 years prior.

Nigerians, we can be such an unrealistic individuals. If all that we wish is for is that easy, Haiti will be an heaven. The man doesn't even have a mandate yet, and thinking of all he has to deal with? I admit that he's slow in some steps but the man needs time to make the kind of changes we are all hoping for. Obama has spent 2 years in Office and he's still struggling to make his promises.

FYI, i worked with a multi-national in naija and we are in more than I20 countries in the world and i choose  where i want to be. Infact, my international passport was process by our logistics department. The only effort i have ever made in my life was to pose for passport size photography and send mail to logistics that i will be going to so and so so. Shikenan!

I think GEJ will do well for Nigeria.

Chrisbenogor:
Please those of you living in the US should educate me, did he have to denounce his Nigerian citizenship? I thought the US allows for dual citizenship?

That's a good point. I dont think he has to. I'm sure America allows dual citizenship.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm link=topic=575889.msg7425761#msg7425761 date=1293605462]^^^ corrected.  Naija only men not punks![/quote]The ones that Built Naija didn't get all their Opportunities in Naija. ZIK, AWO, ABIOLA etc. went abroad at some point in their life. Quit hating on the guy, i bet you have applied for an American Visa b/4.

@OP

Nothing do you my Brother. Everything that comes your way in life has a purpose but never forget where you came from. You can use this Opportunity to gain experience and Opportunity that you can use to return home to Naija one day to contribute to our progress. But don't get carried away by that piece of paper, it's just a piece of paper and Americans knows who they are. It's in their nature.

Rare:
You have just supported my point inadvertently. You came to yankee with the "promise of the so-called good life". Why not return to Nigeria with the promise of the so-called escape from "what you lose with having the job that matters to me" ?
Fact is something intangible attracted you to yankee. Another fact; something intangible should attract you to return. If I were in your shoes, I would leave. I made assumptions, and they were right. It was easily inferred from the tone of your post. QED

BTW, the 'your eyes go open soon' feeling happens everywhere. As far as humans desire variety and change. In english it is called first-hand experience. It is a normal human urge.

I am still an American citizen and i will leave whenever i want to. Your views are very myopic.
May be you should talk to many Nigerians professionals that has come to the west hoping to take it to the next level. I know of Doctors, Pharmacist, Engineers that made the mistake of re-locating. Some of them has gone back after they realized that west is not what it claim to the outside world. How do you explain a full blown doctor in Nigeria reduced to a mere Medical assistant in the USA? Or a full Pharmacist reduced to a Pharmacy tech?

Rare:
If you sincerely feel this extent of bitterness, why are you waiting to land a job before leaving ? You should just leave. You truly sound bitter.
Ironic how people leave Naija (to a western country) without a job awaiting them, but find it hard to do so visa versa. That says a lot to me. If you truly regret where you are, you should be as bold to leave as you were to arrive. Actions speak louder !!

Bitter about what?? It's obvious you are one of those new to yankee. Dont worry your eyes go open soon. Assumptions makes people an @$$. I was not hold enough to hold a job when i came here, came shortly after high school. And even if i was old enough i wouldn't leave until i secure a job in Nigeria, just like i wouldn't come here without the promise of the so-called good life. And for your info, i do have a good job here, it's not about the job it's what you lose with having the job that matters to me.

tensor777:
Not in so many words, but lets analyse his seemingly unguarded  statements and use himself as a reference point.

1)The Western world is not where I, Sweetie, belong
2)I, Sweetie, am just being tolerated in the West.

Based on the above he, Sweetie, has resolved to go back home.
Well that is strictly his own perspective but it is highly unlikely that most Nigerians in the diaspora would resolve to go back based on the above abstract, ephemeral issues.

On the contrary there would have to be very hard-headed business and professional reasons that would compel most people to relocate back home.

That is absolutely Nonsense you just Hyperventilated, even Obama knows now how this Country is. He may not say it but he knows it. This country is extremely racist to anything Non-white. Even Michelle Obama said it before she got into politics "America is a very racist and mean country" - M. Obama - Grad school thesis. I dont know where this gentleman works and i don't really care, every sector of America is racist, i have worked in Law enforcement and and the Judicial system and i have had the first hand knowledge of a white men justice system. Bringing a minority or a black guy down makes the white boys D*ck hard. They feed off of stuff like that. I guarantee you that over %70 of African American in this country would have re-located to another place if they have a choice. No matter how bad Nigeria is, one thing still remains clear it's still home. My Dad had the experience of western world and i remember when he would say "what are they doing there? the glory is in going back and forth". And in the recent years i have come to believe him. You are living in a fantasy island if you think White America adores you, especially if you are successful in whatever you are doing. Obama should be praised for pulling American economy back from the edge but what does he get? Protest, disrespect etc. Obama was giving a state of the union address, a white id iot, Congressman Joe Wilson shouted at Obama "You lied!" Imagine that? Has anybody ever done that to any white president? Even sorry @$$ G.Bush. In a law suit that a secret service agent filed against his boss, he claimed that when African Leaders come to the white house to visit, agents makes fun of them, calls them Monkeys etc. I just need to land a job in Naija and i will be on the next available flight.

@Okija_Juju

You know what Bro'? After thinking about what you said, i very much reason with you. Western countries is not where we belong, we are just being tolerated. I am in serious planning stage of returning to Nigeria myself. Ive been applying to every Nigerian job that i set my eyes on and once i land one. I'M GONE on the very next flight. Loss of electricity for some hours of the day will not bar me from a place where i'm celebrated and loved.
