PhonesRe: The Price Of 500MB Of Mobile Data In Nigeria & Across The World by Tinyemeka(m): 8:05pm On Oct 08, 2013
lastpage: A better measure of the price would have been to ally it with the "purchasing or average income" of the users!

For example, if l earn #2000 monthly, and spend #200 on mobile data, that is 10% of my monthly income.
Compared to someone who earns $200 monthly (average of #32,000) and spends ##2,000 on the same amount of mobile data as l do, though he has spent[b] TEN TIMES of what l spent[/b] on the same thing, in "real terms", he has actually only spent 6.25% ota!f his income on data!

Thus, this publication is nothing more than Bullshyte!

Lastpage!
Why did you say you earn N2000 monthly whereas the American makes $200? Why?

babyosisi: The Nigerians looking to emigrate are usually college graduates not drug addicts and drunks
So telling them about homeless americans without showing them that majority of Nigerians here are doing well is being deceptive

Hope you see the balance that he provides to the overall discussion about American prospects for a Nigerian huh
The objective has been made clearer. I understand now. Thank you.

ozo_emeka: smh. Are NLers above 7? It feels like I literally need to spell out

The objective of the thread is to BALANCE out the nuances of TV. I.e THe OBVIOUS delusions people have from TV. This is not a TOUR GUIDE to the US
Dude I know what to filter out when I watch TV. Not everyone is a dumb sponge.

anonimi: He does not need to recant and I believe he has replied that he is not recanting.
The OP is clear about his objective with this thread- balance out the GLOSSED UP, LARGELY UNREALISTIC image of America that is held by most Nigerians. He has achieved that objective and many wise people who have followed the thread are very grateful for the PATRIOTIC service he has rendered to his fellow Nigerians without being obliged to do so.
Many who think in the SIMPLEX mode and need to be spoon-fed everything like babies will not (or refuse) to understand and benefit from the expose.


Once again thanks to the OP for what obviously is the manifestation of his labour of love.
The "glossed up" images I am aware of, are the flashy cars, houses and cash being thrown around when those Nigerians come home during holidays. Are they all fake? Aren't there much successful Nigerians in the US?
And must you be born there or have parents wealthy enough to sponsor you to Ivy League colleges before you can really make it there?
TravelRe: You want to COME TO AMERICA - Do You REALLY Know America? by Tinyemeka(m): 4:51am On Oct 05, 2013
Tinyemeka: OP didn't say "Don't come". He meant "Prepare your mind. These are things you might see when you come" They are two different things.
However, @Ozo Emeka, I must admit that if your intent was to show the true picture of things in the US, then your attempt was a biased one. The opening pages of this thread were filled with pictures of ghettos and the severe gaps between the affluent and the homeless, obviously living side by side.
You said the US is not all about gloom and doom.
Where are the success stories? The happy pictures (and I am not talking literarily)?

Where is the balance you talk about?

bootlegaz: Blacks are crab in a Bucket. You will never hear Mexicans tell their fellow country men not to come to the United States or go back to their country cos they are not documented, what you will see are their relatives and friends carry placard to protest and defend the rights of the Illegal ones here, meanwhile Nigerians call immigration or discourage their relatives from taking advantage of the social system. Thread of such gives a basic understanding of why black race is bottom of the poo in America when it comes to net income and standard of living

ozo_emeka: The US is not "DREARY". There is no GLOOM. This thread like I have said 10000000000000000 times is simply about a BALANCE.
There is. Balance you say. So there has to be a the good and the not good side.

Are you trying to recant?

ozo_emeka: I work also, if that satisfies you. Next suggestion?
Question: If the US is this dreary and challenging as being portrayed, do you ever get any feeling impending frustration, doom after graduation? Or being an Ivy-Leaguer is sure guarantee of a planned and secured career? Do you sometimes habour any thought of emmigrating?

Just asking.

god_of_music: I've been following this thread with a wise mind-set, I read what the OP has written and I got the cents, authomatically this man has contributed to my life and I am not gonna forget what I have learnt from him so far.

@Moderators He wasn't trying to insult anybody,he was only quoting them with words that seems insultive to the understanding of we the third world countries as 'they' call it.

I just want the wise ones here to take the cents from the OP's Post and add to your account. Trust me, it's gonna multiply and probably make you Rich.

Afam4eva: A car washerman in Nigeria probably eats agege bread and akara everyday and does not have the luxury of eating what his mate in America eats or live where his mates elsewhere live. Some of them squat with people whilw those that are lucky live in run down face-me-i-slap-you apartment where Spyrogira is used as lawn and where diseases are distributted evenly which takes them to hospital chemist several times in a year and they could probably die before they clock 60 and you'll start hearing people saying stuff like "I hear say baba iyabo don die. And i see the man yesterday when im dey laugh. Im no be like person wey dey sick". Not knowing that poverty and frustration gave the man an ultimatum which he was unable to meet up with. Abeg, there's no basis for comparism. The poverty in Nigeria can only stop if poverty decides to retire but as long as poverty is hale and hearty, people will keep running to more advanced countries.
All the comments you posted so far from the begining of the thread made no sense to me and you tended to bend the truth at several points to support your assertion. In your own view, it is definitely easier to survive and make it in the US than in Nigeria. Is that what you are saying? Or did I not get you correctly?

tender92: True story of Nigerian Police

The Nigerian Police, The FBI, and the CIA are
all trying to prove that they are the best at
apprehending criminals. The UN President
decides to give them a test. He releases a
rabbit into a forest and each of them has to
catch it. The CIA goes in. They place animal informants
throughout the forest. They question all plant
and mineral witnesses. After three months of
extensive investigations they conclude that
rabbits do not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything
in it, including the rabbit, and they make no
apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
The Nigerian Police goes in. They come out
two hours later with a badly beaten Antelope.
The Antelope is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!...lolz grin

super story
Abeg make dem release dat innocent poor man jawe....angry

LiteratureRe: Tom Clancy Dies At 66 by Tinyemeka(m): 9:46pm On Oct 02, 2013
koolet: Tom clancys ghost recon. mission imposible.... He died but his work liveth..... cool
I guess his ghost is on a reconnaissance of this thread as we speak.
Ghost Mode tins!

With respect to the topic, the news of his death came to me as a shock naturally.

Unfortunately, this was somewhat dampened to an extent. While in sch, Clancy was my favourite favouritest author! I used to dump my materials to read any new Clancy novel I laid hands on. And this was during exam periods. But as I grew older and my interests widened to include other genres and authors, I somewhat came to the conclusion that Clancy was extremely biased in his writings and ultra-right wing American in his views which also influenced his works. Also, the books tended to delve excessively into too much technical details and plots that would eventually leave most readers "overwhelmed", cause them to lose interest towards the middle of the book, then jump to the concluding chapters in order to get done with the book - compare this with Grisham's narration of courtroom sessions (The Runaway Jury), how he describes spending money to sound like comic fun (The Firm, King of Torts), etc - then you might get a picture of what I am trying to say about Clancy. I don't know if it was his collaboration with Steve Pieczenik et al and the other ghost writers that led to this. I stopped reading Clancy around 2007. Grisham, Dan Brown and Stephen King stole me heart ever since.

My personal views though. This does not diminish the fact that the world has suddenly lost of of her best and most prolific of modern day authors. He will be greatly missed, but I forsee several best-sellers that will still be published in due course under his name.

Tom Clancy was a great author.
