Heaven helped those who cannot help themselves only in the Bible...when it comes to real life, it becomes stories that touch
OP you don chop beleful now na why you dey post rubbish

The man's got moves It runs in the family

You still added prayers again How's yours different from the typical mentality?

Ezechinwa:
Typical Nigerian mentality,
Always praying and hoping without action.
This thing called religion has made lots of Africans mentally lazy to come up with optimal solutions.


Prayers won't fix bad roads
It won't build schools nor hospitals
It won't fight or stop corrupt politicians from stealing
Action + prayers will

K.O. It can't get more damaging than this Such savagery

OP is stupid. You lived in the slums of Dubai for 40 years, therefore Dubai is not rich All these retårded bloggers it seems you have no idea what Nigeria is. I'll give you and morons like you who think by hiding the rot and putrefying stench of Nigeria would make it developed...here are facts about Nigeria:

1. Ranks 10th for highest infant mortality rate in the universe ie. 71.2 deaths/1000 live births
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html

2. Ranks 5th worst health system in the cosmos ie. 0.176/10 - even worse than Liberia - according to WHO overall health systems performance index
http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/poorest-list/the-10-worst-health-care-systems-in-the-world/

3. Ranks 152/188 in Human Development Index
http://hdr.undp.org/en/countries

4. Ranks 9th most dangerous country on the milky way galaxy ie. much worse than Libya, Palistine and Yemen and a little safer than Iraq

5. Ranks 135/149 on the Legatum Prosperity Index ie. Chances are not great in Nigeria

'Over 110 million Nigerians living below the poverty line' Yemi Osibanjo (2015) ie. over 60% of nigerians are extremely poor - it sure must have increased by now http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/over-1-million-nigerians-living-below-poverty-line-osinbajo/

I don't know why it's only us that have this over-bloated self-importance out of all the lowest ranked countries on every human development, health and safety indices in the world despite the trillions of USD that has gone through the country.

Nansense!!

what kind of sloppy review is this sh!t If you have nothing to write then SHUT UP, SIT DOWN, and BE HUMBLE B!TCH

Your whole argument here is 'I am doing good therefore Nigeria is great' Coming from someone that addresses people as 'young man' and expresses sentiment as not being a kid. Your arguments are rather glib for an adult. You are quick to use stats for the US but use personal experience for the sorry Nigerian situation.

Statistically, Nigeria is bottom on every developmental indices when compared with the countries being mentioned here. And it's true, that countries like Finland is heaven compared to Nigeria. In Nigeria it takes the accident of birth to, most times, determine one's destiny and statistically, you are very likely to be born dirt poor in Nigeria than even in many countries within Africa and worse with almost no prospect of changing class without resorting to crime. Whereas, in progressive countries, children of orphans, lunatics and poor people not only have the same rights but largely fair opportunities. Even for the disabled.

You here are saying you gave your bricklayer 500K so many Nigerians are living good and should not focus on university but blue collar professions. I'm done here

ayodele234:
The population of Jewish Americans is not even up to 1.5% making them minority, and when did the most educated transform to the most successful? Th Asians and Arabs are buying up all the major real estates across the country while our education excellence remain just a little pat on the back that everybody soon forget, meaning it translates to little or nothing. Name a single Nigerian American with a net worth of $5,000,000.

By now you should know that there just a few brain cells, if any, in the head who you are talking to. Let's see of she would sample that empty container head on this thread again I was surprised one person responded to her with a robust argument, as if she would understand it

Nigeriadondie:
U see u re very wicked, u re very heartless to pay a driver N25k especially if he is a family man with even one kid. U re a Jezebel to pay a maid N15,000. U put her in a cheap school u wud never want to send ur child to. It is people like u that exploit girls and enslave them whereas where I live Fillipino women who work as au pairs are paid very well in line with d approved minimum wage that if d host family takes advantage of them, the host family wud be dealt with. For u to think this way, nothing good wud ever come ur way. Even NLC are clamouring for minimum wage to be N56,000 and u brag about paying someone 15-20k.
Oh my God u re really insane. U need to be chained and driven to Yaba Psychiatry Hospital where they wud put on d floor cos it wud be too befitting to put u on a bed. If u ve empathy and see these people as humans, can u survive well on N15k even N25k not to talk of if u ve a family and perharps aged parents to cater for.
Na to throway poo on ur face that u deserve. U re an animal not a human being and u belong to d zoo.

Where did you see that I am praising America? I would rather live somewhere else than in the US so what are you talking about? Nigeria is shït and what's worse is that the shït is getting more and more stinky and one doesn't have to be a genius to see that the future is bleak.

Gain more attending to what issues? When delusional people like those in pidgin2 cult camp see absolutely nothing wrong. In fact, they think its so great that diasporans are the sufferhead. Didn't you see where the OP mentioned he wrote to his state government?

Do you think I haven't? Do you even know your representatives and their constitutional roles? would spare you details or how trying to even help can quickly turn out to be dangerous. I am in Nigeria more than one would think but I did my NYSC as a teacher, and only a few in SS3 could even write...and that's even in Abia State. The teachers were being owed for over a year and it's much much worse in northern Nigeria. These things do NOT happen in even some countries at war Even some make-shift clinics in Syria and Libya are better than many of our state run hospitals.

My uncle almost died from a treatable illness after he was asked by a doctor to go to church for healing at one of the main state hospitals...that's how deplorable it is and you don't have to guess that it's going to get worse. People like pidgin2 that should be fighting for the right of the nigerian child are talking rubbish here, I don't blame her she likes living as a slavemaster to have housemaids that are lesser humans/Nigerians than she is that would give birth to more slaves for her offspring. Housemaids and drivers my big nuts

The OP is comfortable and there is hope for his children and their children, it's easy to sense that when living in a working society. Nigeria isn't even trying to create a society at all. Like I said, its a jungle and one only has to survive most times by cheating the next man. From Government to Evans to Pastors to even yahoo guys.

I would have shown pictures of massive crowd of people at the airport during the 2015 presidential elections about to leave. What does that even say? Not everyone wants to be Bill Gates or Dangote or Saraki. People just want peace and quiet and to stay alive for their families. When your account starts looking great, your primary business is staying alive and Nigeria scores abysmally low in this regard. Where a cattle presidential aspirant threatens doom for people based on the outcome of mere elections.

I was in Ghana during their presidential elections and it was just another passing day, with people voting on the way to and from work, similar to what I have experienced a number of times in the UK. They frequently used Nigeria as what they don't want their country or processes to become. Who would blame them? In Nigeria, Election day is public holiday with some states having curfews and fleet of soldiers and tanks.

Most of these zombie patriots don't even know what normal is in 2017. Electricity is rocket science. Producing crude and refining it is just as complex as sending a team to the moon. Running decent state schools, clinics and justice systems require 'god' as we are not perfect (Don't we just love hearing that)

ayodele234:
Calm down young man. Even white people wey get country they give up their passport at an alarming rate yet African man won die for another man thing. You will gain more attending to the issues and problems in Nigeria than praising America. These people don't know or care if we exist. They just use us for cheap labor

You are being ridiculous Did Steve Jobs get what he was chasing? Who does? The difference is that there is hope that if you put in the work, all things being equal, you will achieve something meaningful for yourself and children, and your children have hope.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys live in a cocoon even in Nigeria. I never left Nigeria, I still have interests. I am a landlord so when I say people don't even get paid consistently, I know what I am saying. People don't get their pensions, Teachers don't get paid. Most of my class are either underemployed or unemployed and that was 7 years ago. Has it gotten better today? No! Is it at least looking like there is some sort of progress? No! There are less and less. Heck! Even my father admits it's getting worse. Nigeria as it is frustrates any effort of development.

There is a difference between 'I like it in Nigeria' and 'Nigeria is better or the same with even the worst of eastern European countries' Jesus! Don't you people have any conscience? You talk about depression, do you know how many young people are depressed in Nigeria - Oh I forgot na who don chop dey go for medical diagnosis. Americans are on antidepressants because they can pay for it and the diagnosis. Plus, the US is shit, if you compare it to Nordic countries standard of living. Not everyone wants the capitalist dream life most people would settle for a decent, peaceful and life full of prospect and hope for their children.

Homeless people in the UK have dogs (the state doesn't joke with their animals) and its obvious these guys are either fücked by drugs or something but even their children have hope for the future and they are very likely to live till 75 if they don't commit suicide.

You may not get statistics about people committing suicide in Nigeria because I can bet 70% over have no medical records or rather cannot afford it. Even Ghana is so much better than Nigeria. Google where the late Attah Mills died...in a Ghanian Military Hospital...says a lot about confidence right?

Rwanda is making giant strides. How do you measure that? Check state institutions, how they function not Pidgin2 'I am eating good and I have a driver and a housegirl, therefore Nigeria is great and those in diaspora are frustrated'

I mentioned Nigeria is the worst country to live without money. Because the state institutions are not functioning. Compare a state schooled pupil in Ghana or Rwanda or Zimbabwe with ours then maybe you guys will understand the anger with which some of us express our disappointment in the country. Even the young people don't get decent education.

The other day the head of doctors mentioned that over a thousand doctors leave the country annually and some of them haven't been paid for up to 22 months. Yet, more money was budgeted to Aso Clinic than Teaching hospitals around the country and still the president isn't using it.

A country where negligence kills more people than in some war torn areas and you are here bringing statistics of Americans on anti-depressants. Have people stopped dying from childbirth or mistaken identity by a mob or containers falling on commercial buses? What's the life expectancy of those that live in Nigeria?

You guys should use your rubbish patriotism to beg Buhari to return to enjoy what you guys are enjoying...and Deizani and families of long serving ministers and state governors and perm secs. I mean, what's in London that's not in Nigeria?

ayodele234:
The west lacks communal living. Everybody is on the run and they never stop. 80% of the time they never get what they are chasing. They might look successful to the average person but when you come close to them you will be surprised to know a large chunk of them are on antidepressants drugs. 1 person commits suicide every 15 minutes in the United States.

Leave that fücking troll. Her one brain cell cannot even reason the big picture. My neighbour's gateman So the gateman after working for donkey years is at the mercy of his 'madam' for decent healthcare. It's poverty mentality people like pidgin2 that steal the country dry when eventually the see how normal is everywhere else except Nigeria

arena07:
chai look at the gibberish you spewed how many gateman have such opportunity? I wish a f.ool like you can visit teaching hospitals Nationwide to see how ppl are dying everyday due to lack of fund to pay there medical bills..oloriburuku ni e

Really? Mr High IQ. FYI Nigeria is an import based economy almost every meaningful thing you use are imported and you ask a silly question. Is 150k even good enough to live on in Nigeria where you pay for healthcare and basic amenities that you don't get including taxes.

Better read and learn than talk rubbish here. How many people even get 150k jobs? How many people get consistently paid through the year without being owed for months? Didn't the price of food increase by over a 100% since this government came in and you talk about purchasing power

youngestland:
You guys please stop converting to naira and compare it just show how low you guys iq is

what is the purchasing power of 400 pounds in uk and what is the purchasing power of 150k nqira in nigeria farrrrr different
when driving your points pls and pls stop converting

I just knew you were a poor somebody. Shut up if you haven't lived anywhere else other than Nigeria. So having a driver and maids that you can freely owe is what you call a good life Are the maids not Nigerians that should have rights? How many Nigerians can get 150k jobs (That's even less than £400)

This blind unintelligent patroitism makes a foöl of you.
There are poor people all over the world but in Nigeria being poor is one without hope. No school, healthcare or justice. Absolutely nothing. Check the quality of state schools even within Africa and find many of your people there but no foreigner in even our Universities. On top of that, you can die anytime. Cannot remember where I saw it but in Nigeria, negligence kills more people than the casualties of war in some areas.

You cannot see that the people plundering the country are the same ones investing in their children overseas. We cannot all leave the country that is why some of us here are being very harsh expressing our disappointment, mainly because it could have been so much better. Some people abroad for long don't even know how much worse it has become showing a poor man in Germany Poor people that have healthy looking dogs and have access to worldclass healthcare but you come here like Lai Mohammed love child to talk nonsense.

Pidgin2:
Your post made me laugh. Do you know how many middle class Nigerians own at least two cars and a driver to go with it? Having a driver, maids, and other domestic staffs here is quite easy unlike it is abroad. Now tell me, assuming i work in a bank, with even a salary of N150,000, i can still afford to pay a driver N25K, a washer man N15K and a maid N15 to N20(or alternatively i can just put her in a cheap school or let her learn a trade) how many middle class individuals abroad can afford all three permanent staffs at the same time? So there are pluses and minuses everywhere. With that same salary, i can also be granted visas to many other countries abroad , depending on how i package myself. What i'm trying to say is this, Nigeria is not as hard as most people make it seem, our problem is that most people cant see beyond the bridges of their flat noses

Waya waya! Waya set
Like their fathers, the thieves in office so would the children and their generation.

Nigeria don deal with this one He cannot even imagine it. Even if you were Ghanaian, you wouldn't be this demoralised. Thunder fire these bastard politicians. If you like continue voting these half-educated goats, it will continue to be utopia to you. 100 years backward is an understatement.

StarPlayer:
Abegi.. This Utopia you're describing is merely on paper not in reality. Look for another story, we are in the internet age where information is every where, you can't expect me to swallow this epistle hook, line and sinker

Pidgin2 is being paid by Lai Mohammed When thjs government comot her eye go clear. Instead of doing the right thing they force their 'Nigeria is better than the rest of the world' on people as if people still rely on telegram to spread information.

Pidgin2 hope say you get better money o because when sickness come don't go around seeking crowd funding to go abroad for treatable diseases. Even the president that is supposed to be the number patroit is so comfortable in London he doesn't want to return then na you

In other news, containers just squashed 2 fully loaded commercial buses but whats on the news? Saraki this and that and Aisha Buharis FB post. Nobody is even talking about prosecuting the bastards that let that happen.

Nigeriadondie:
Dont waste ur time on her. It is because of her I made this comment and I ve been vindicated by d likes,shares and comments of people here on d thread which I appreciate.

Once again, Nigeria is the worst place to be if you don't have money. These old cattles have snuffed the life and hope of the country and the saddest part was that the young people complaining voted for this coup plotter and democracy destroyer. How can someone who didn't even say a word when corp members were killed in his name in 2011, who threatened the country and its citizens -dogs and baboons - if he lost be the one for any progress?

Now he is chilling in London with State funds without a clue of when he will return but he is only a reflection of the problem.

I have travelled to many countries and lived in some and I tell you even within Africa, Nigeria is one of the worst that is not at war (even before Boko Haram). You might be surprised how normal (at least much better than 'good') parts of Syria is. There is no hope for the future generation, not until a lot of people are sent to the gallows. Nigeria is a jungle because even in zoos, there is order.

The only thing certain in Nigeria is misfortune at some point except you don't live in it. The normal things are now miracles. It is a crime to be good and law abiding in a jungle. Just survive. Survive and don't get eaten by the wolves.

Apparently the person he wanted to kill -or has killed many times in his mind - has apologised and reversed the curse He said his life is in gods hands You just cannot win with these guys.

As for the OP, he needs help.

frank317:
The guy is a dunce... he wants to ask the angels to kill you for making a simple statement but when his own enemies whom he had defrauded tries to kill him he starts running up and down... and suddenly his killer angels are his saviour.

You are even more dense than I thought The fruits of your education is only exhibited here by your elaborate writing but your mind and head is fücked up. You are crazy, really. Feel free to send your proclamation/prophecy my way as you won't or is it can't die this year.
You see the difference with you religious nutters is that you readily have in mind to kill your 'enemies' but are just too much of cowards to actually do the work.

If I want you to die before November this year, I certainly know the moves to make and the last thing would be to pray about it except I don't want it to happen.

Let's look at what Christ says about murderers. Is it the one that has killed or has it in mind to kill or are they just one and the same?

10 Then he called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and understand: 11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.” ...“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? 18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. 19 For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile.” (Matt 15:10-19)

So even according to your faith, you are a murderer and would be condemned eternally How loving?

intrepidJ:
It's apparent you flunked common sense in school. Its 2017 , im telling about events that happened in 2015. READ. I moved out December 2015. Before you open your mouth and spill crap I give you an hour to apologises. If you do not I decree it is your time to die this year. You can call my bluff, if you do not apologise and retract that sensless post I will make a pronouncement your remain days in Earth won't exceed November this year.

Get a grip on yourself. Stop seeking empathy from strangers rather seek professional advice. By the way, tell the angel and god that saved you from your friend you gave your ipad to that he watched families including children burn to death at the Grenfell tower and did nothing, once again. or haven't we come to expect this? There are even some clips of some of the victims praying before the fire consumed them. You honestly think you are so important

Check for symptoms of people going nuts and relate so you can handle your business.

Christians are not naive my big nuts.

intrepidJ:
My brother. First of all I am hardly a religious fanatic, I have not been to church in years. I am sharing my experience, what you do with it is entirely up to you. But remember this, you are threading on dangerous grounds. If you think your making a mockery of my experience and religion makes you smart then I feel sorry for you, you live in a bubble. Most Christ believing Christians are not naive, they are smarter than you in majority of cases. You are probably mocking me or calling me mentally ill because you are ok, you have it good. It's easy for you to condemn when you 're fine, but when you are in a life threatening situation, when you are in yourdeath bed, when your life flashes before your eyes, you will ask yourself "WHAT IF". What if by some chance you are wrong? Is eternal damnation worth it? I implore you to desist from insulting and making a mockery of someone's testimony, you are not to far from blasphemy.

Fraud Alert!!! 'This story is 100% true, I am not lying, it is fact and I am not crazy'

Mental health issues are real but it seems religion provides a comforting cover in order to avoid treatment or even talk about the problem.

OP from what you wrote here, it appears you seriously need help. There are too many parallels with your narrative with that of a person going nuts.

Also, you mentioned you have never saved 50k but you use a 150k tablet that you freely give away and you never lack. It's your personal lifestyle but that's not being nice/kind to people that's being extremely irresponsible. You need to get your sh!t together and stop being delusionary.

Religion would make you seem all these are normal but its not. You should not have children if you continue to live this way.

Seek professional medical advice

Lagos the slum. Ridiculously overrated. How someone with means make would choose to live in this ghetto if they're not the governor or a top politician Nigerians and their overbloated self-worth contrary to reality.

This is serious. He wouldn't have a problem, he is a great actor Wahala dey o

I really like what you did here. Well thought and nicely written.

funmisticqueen:
Thank you

Beautiful Funmisticqueen I'm here with all the love for you.

Such a shame, it seems to only legacy these set of people pass on to their offspring is that of enslaving superstition. More shameful is that the educated ones also think alike

Savages. Nigeria is actually a very dangerous place to live and this is supposed to be the more 'civilised' Lagos where they say has one of the most expensive pieces of real estate

Defame? What is your definition of reporting? to pretend like these things never happen? Deal with it. It ain't rosy at all in Nigeria. It is either you are rich or you are extremely vulnerable

jjjjj2017:
cc Seun, Lalasticlala, Mynd44, pull down this thread because the lives of people whom their face shows in the video is at risk! we need to report the video on youtube as well to be pulled down.

selfmadeboss:
na this kain news dey make my australian fiancee mama and sisters dey fear to follow me come naija. thunder fire all of una there. op may hot brick stone fall on you there

You do not have to keep reassuring anyone that you love and trust your wife. Trust should be earned. I think you are just trying hard to believe all this is a lie but sadly, it doesn't look in anyway like it's your pregnancy. Good luck with your next move but please don't hurt anybody. Better divorced than miserable.

Ridiculous. The stupidity

salegella:
what of the supposed "book of God" where Ezekiel (a prophet of God) was ordered to to eat cake with SHIT? Ezekiel 4:12-15

Moreover, one is also commanded to eat SHIT and drink PISS. 2 Kings 18:27 and Isaiah 36:12

mts! How absurd does it sound and utterly repulsive to human mind to find such a command in "a book of God?"
