Yes.for the ones weh want start to shit pikin early na
That is why I said after enjoying all life has to offer with my woman,we can now settle and just have one child!
I no come this life to come suffer like what I see men go through in Nigeria in the name of family man.
Especially the ones weh no get money
Dia shoes and early bald head dey always make me laugh.
Why put yourself through all that

Lol

I see yoir point

life is to be enjoyed and not endured

nwanneni:
me too.
I don't think I will be able to get married or raise kids unless I have a wife that can bear with my travelling,have no problem relocating to another country either.
Life shouldn't be boring and hard na.
Then maybe we just have just one kid after we've had almost all the fun in the world!
All in all,I love the spontaneous life

spontaneous life is good

But being a family man and living spontaneous life

The spontaneity will have to reduce /give way

that's how I see it...

Ugo leave our Ghana for us like that

So Dumsor is still on? I get constant light whenever im around; airport residential or east legon. I know Dzorwulu areas(and maybe some other places) get "light off days". I think its 10 hours.

Lastly,Abidjan is ahead of Accra in every damn thing. Nothing to compare. Lawd knows i love me my Accra but the truth is the truth.
Agbowo? That place na bush biko . Save for the students

no mind that Ghana brother
only Dakar and MAYBE Abuja comes close to Abidjan

It's not called "Pétit Paris" for nothing

Safiaa:
Lol I don’t understand ohhh
When it comes to splitting financial bills their mouths will open like parrots. They are so quick to ask what you contribute financially to a marriage. But when it comes to domestic contributions and other aspects, they are mute. You want to be addressed as the head of the home, yet your wife is doing practically everything in the house. She’s the one running the home. The only job that you’re really assigned to do is provide, yet you still want to split that role into half with your wife? You wonder why women don’t respect men of this generation. They are absolutely pathetic.

well...
Nigerians have a unique gift or will I say problem of exploiting people /playing smart

And they bring this nasty attitude into their relationship /marriage
And BOTH sexes are guilty of such Fvckery in Nigeria

The men wanting to get as much as they can from the relationship, while contributing as least as he can...

AFTER all, he did her a favor by marrying her
mumu man.....

or the "oriaku" women who would have a long list of demands from their unfortunate husband while bringing ZERO value to the relationship
The man hustled, got you a retinue of maids to help in the house; etc while you are an empty vessel....

Afterall in her mind, she is THE PRIZE and the man is fortunate to have clinched me
mugu lady

When we see relationships as give and take, and being selfless, then these fvckery will reduce in Nigeria

But till then, the cat and mouse game continues

no be NIGERIA?

philip0906:
Of course! A Genevieve isn’t married; she has her own “money” and is under absolutely no pressures. If a Genevieve sets her own standards on the kind of man she wants, it’s perfectly understandable, she also is a “standard”.

A Dj Cuppy would also not be flocking around broke boys/men and would have her own standards for her kind of men. It’s perfectly understandable.

The problem is a broke, hungry, jobless, poorly paid Nigerian girl setting “standards”. It’s absurd! It’s madness! That’s where the question comes from “what do you have to offer”?

you dey vex o

Mizwisdom:
I partly agree, but disagree with the "manipulation" part. I think it's due to wickedness on our part as females and maybe a bit of this shortsighted nature of ours. If guys start being asked to wash plates, clothes and stuff, the mother(female) will be the first to protest, she will want her daughter in law to enslave herself while still contributing financially to the home plus sending money to her. It's still mothers(females) who train girls domestically while allowing boys freedom from domestic chores in the same house. It's not really manipulation, we are our own worse enemy.

you are right on this one tho

But I often say
that for any relationship to work (marriage is a form of relationship) all parties have to be reasonable and considerate

Why would a woman or a man be overburdened?
.Are you not suppose to SHARE such burden?

Lazy men and women plenty
And I pray you don't get nailed to one

Mizwisdom:
Yes one local champion that won't let us hear word about shytehole Abidjan, a forsaken dumpsite honestly with the way you talk one would think that you live in a developed country gerahere jor

lmao

Only if you knew; D

chrisagyei:
read about what I posted,the link,the screenshot,do your research and stop talking blindly.Nowhere in Ghana experience 12 hours of blackout even during heavy rainfall.I live in East Legon myself.Tell me where exactly that happened.Check the Human development index 2018,Infrastructural development index 2018 and tell me where Cote D'Ivoire beat Ghana anywhere.We have more and better roads than them,better economy,bigger GDP,bigger per capita income their country has just 30% electricity coverage whilst Ghana has close to 90% buh we still experience better 24/7 electricity than them.Our schools are far ahead of them,etc.Their country was destroyed by over 10 years of civil war and can't even hold a peaceful election.How can you compare.Ask them about Ghana and they will tell you.Ghanaians don't go to Cote D'Ivoire for economic freedom.Our economy is the best in West Africa if you care to research or know.The companies and investment here is unprecedented.Those Ghanaians you see there and in Nigeria are the old generation Ghanaians who fled to these countries during the famine in the 80s and now consider themselves half Ivorians and Nigerians.Majority of Ghanaians returned during the JJ democratic regime.

are you calling me a liar?
last week, we did not have light at east legon (Boundary road side, after ARS junction) for GOOD 8-12 hrs
(Does Ogbojo hope I spelt it right ring a bell?)
I have nothing to gain from lying

that was MY EXPERIENCE
I can't put pics here because In a private fellow
tho the light was restored and that was a one off experience


I think we should just end this conversation tho...

You are a typical Ghanaian

more and better roads than them , I disagree

the Ghanaians who live in Nigeria as economic refugees cut across age spectrum
the same way the ones who live in Ghana from Nigeria Nigeria economic refugees cut across

And CIV had a peaceful election in 2015
ouatarra is on course to complete his term and go home
Gbagbo was a mistake that will never repeat itself again....

And judging by a country that had a civil war not too long ago, they have done VERY WELL

Liberia and Sierra Leone have refused to pick themselves up and to me, are the worst failed shithole jungle countries In west Africa
so you have to give them props for that

Does the Ghanaian economy have a bright future?
Yes indeed I absolutely agree
(but hey, you Bank of Ghana gov has to work harder)

companies are pouring into Ghana
I agree with that too.. .

I was impressed by what I saw at the T.V. Africa /Fanmilk side, and other pockets of industries here and there
impressive

But still, when it comes to infrastructure and quality of life, CiV beats GH hands down
Things are far cheaper in CI than GH
an Ivorian can be fine with 40000 CFA - 50000tho he will have to manage)
But a Ghanaian Ghanaian survive much on such amount because things things are expensive

Both countries have their plus and minus

But I give it to CIV anytime

nwanneni:
A lot of people have made plenty money in shitholes.in fact,shithole are the easiest places to make money for a smart person.
Travel and see.

she does not know

coupled with the fact that I got visas from here too EASILY
(the queue here is not too much, except a little more in the French and U.S. embassy)

South African visa from here na express compared to NIGERIA

And hey, the standard of living /quality of life which is key, for me is too notch too

so what are we saying?

We as nwafor Know how we pick this cash and gather them

those who don't know don't

planetx:
I didn't even know the person was living in Ivory Coast of all places always talking down Nigeria everytime a thread like this come up. Let's ask him if the average American or Canadian where he claims all the upper middle class Nigerians are running to have $300k liquid net worth talkless of Ivorians.

You are not getting my point

and I will not explain further

Quality of life in NiggerArea is amongst the worst
So mitigate against that, you need a whole lot...


And yea, i run a business in CIV, but get to travel to other destinations to spend some time....

the country has a unique charm that's why I planted some roots there.....

That's just it....

And yes, I'll say it anytime, They have a better standard of living than NiggerArea

And it's a functioning country

Ease of doing business A1

etc

Eventually I will need to settle properly to raise kids and all, cos nomad life has expiry date

But even if I don't raise kids in CIV, that country has a special place in my heart for being so good to me.

Mizwisdom:
There's one local champion here making noise about Abidjan one would think that shytehole dumpsite is one of the most progressive countries in the world, OP God saved you from not reaching there

one local champion indeed

chrisagyei:
hmm,you sound funny,do you know we have the largest fdi in West Africa overthrowing Nigeria.Do you know our GDP and economy is the second largest in West Africa since last 10 years.This is 2017 figures.No Ghanaian is a refugee anywhere because we have the most peaceful country in West Africa and 5th most peaceful in Africa and 45th most peaceful in the Global Peace Index.We never experience civil war since independence.There are millions of Ivorians in Ghana with some being refugees.Read the link to this page and see the difference between Cote D'Ivoire and Ghana.We have the least poverty population percentage in West Africa,you can check that.We generate far larger electricity than cote D'Ivoire and enjoy better electricity than them.Dumsor died in 2015 and it lasted for a year.That was a technical problem and since resolved. Follow and read https://www.indexmundi.com/factbook/compare/ghana.cote-d-ivoire

refugee do not have to be political

Economic refugees are what many Ghanaians, Nigerians and indeed most Africans are ......

denying that is living in delusion

And Dumsor did not die in 2015..
I experienced lights out in East legon for 8 to 12 hours last week (the day after the heavy rains ).
you think I don't come to Ghana enough to know all these?

CIV has better infrastructure than Ghana
And that is a fact...


come over and see for yourself

I respect Ghana for one thing tho


Not fighting a civil war

That means you guys are somewhat reasonable
that's good

But you guys better take care of that unrest in the north, before it snowballed into something else
tho I see Addo is making efforts

ModestManager:
DonFebzyBlog's story is so true...

NIGERIANS SHOULD NOT THINK LIFE IS BETTER OUTSIDE OUTSIDE ALWAYS!!!

Experienced similar things over ten years ago, but I used my intellect and even taught in school there (John kufuor to Mills time) and with help from my wonderful brother overseas, I was able to return home!

Life is HARD in Ghana, especially for Nigerians, but I made use of their facilities well, library, school common rooms, reading parks, agbogbloshie, etc.

Went to that winners church sometimes too North Kaneshie side. It was in Accra that I saw the most number of mad people on the streets-there are always in multitudes. Saw one Camerounian woman once there in 2008,saw an oyinbo or which fellow mad near the central biz district,near the/overseeing the Atlantic ocean area= I guess he had ran outter money!!! But I had a rented apartment with my brother's kind assistance...

THANK GOD FOR THE PEOPLE CHRIST JESUS USED TO HELP YOU, especially those that gave you directions to the Embassy and the GENTLEMAN GOD USED TO BRING SANITY AND SALVATION TO YOU AT THE EMBASSY!!!


My brother always says:: If you want to travel overseas/abroad, USE PLANE!

things in Ghana are very hard indeed....

We see it when we come

But enjoyment plenty for that country tho...

it's my fav chillzone

Osu area especially

chrisagyei:
lol,better than who?I don't know about Nigeria buh you dare not compare Cote D'Ivoire to Ghana.They're beneath us.Do you know the number of Ivorian refugees in Ghana.We all have almost the same population buh we beat them in every index in development and progress.Our GDP,per capita income,electricity,water,education health eveeything is better than them,far less poor people than them,they are our neighbors and we know more about them so I know what am talking about.Their people are all over Ghana together with all those French nations.We share the largest ethnic group with them.

you see the problem witg Ghanaians like you...

travel you will not travel..

Do you know the number of Ghanaian refugees in Treichville/Abobo?

You know how many Ghana girls are roaming the streets of Carrefou koweit and other corners of Youpougon as hookers?

Côte d'ivore has a bigger economy than Ghana (they are the second biggest after Nigeria) and they have better infrastructures than Ghana (no dumsor )

they attract more fdi too don't forget that...

Ghana can compare with Senegal sha
But not Ivory Coast


Even in Nigeria here, the Nigerians here can attest that there are so msny refugees from Ghana in Nigeria too

so that is not a metric

Ivorians I know who go to Ghana is mostly to learn English and all (knew a couple studying English courses in Accra)

So guy, quit that arrogance

Ghana ain't $hit as you are portraying it

Travek around and you will see

that's all I'll tell you


malians and togolese people live in Ghana in their numbers too, and I can say Ghana is ahead of these two because I have been there

But Ghana vs Ivory Coast?

forget it!

The infrastructures and planning in Abidjan and yamousoukro

Accra, Kumasi and Lagos cannot measure up in 20 years

like I said, Come and see for yourself

Ghana is good
But infrastructures wise, CIV is better

chrisagyei:
why do you guys use the word "even","ordinary" or "common" before Ghana or say Accra.Trust me,we feel offended when we see it.Especially we the modern generation Ghanaians.I have read and followed the comments of this thread and I sense people tryna get a go against Ghana,again! by acting sentimental about the op's unfortunate incident.Nobody can blame Ghana or the system here for his unplanned arrival besides Cote D'Ivoire was his goal.Imagine he stranded in a low developing French country.He couldn't have survive so early to tell his story so cut Ghana some slack.This is not to you buh through you to all those Nigerians tryna discredit our humble society.

Just so you know....

Ivory Coast is NOT a low developing French country

they are in a better shape than BOTH Ghana and NIGERIA

just saying tho...
that said...

Ghana is doing its best for now tho under Addo...

AllenSpencer:
If it's UK, it's welcomed.


UK is the extention of Nigeria

Much expected.


Even Celestial and Cherubims & Seraphims yapa for that way.


Go into those churches, 90% blacks.

Religion is declining in the West as stated in the article.

People are tired of the doctrines but trust Africans, they can worship the devil if he is inside a church

But Islam is gaining grounds in some countries of Europe tho

BabaIbo:
Few people spend money meant for millions, in a country where majority are poor, what do you call it?

India has more billionaires in dollar than some stable countries but does that stop them from being one of the poverty capital, it's even the former capital. The wealth is not spread accordingly and other abnormalities are used in rating

you have said it all

contigiency:
You can say that again. That is why I personally doubt the Economist and others who say we are the poverty capital of the world. If they say we are the most wreckless spending people in the world, I will accept without wasting time.

A small clique of people who have arrogated most of the country wealth to themselves does not change the fact that Nigeria is the HQ of extreme poverty

travel around NiggerArea and see for yourself

bauchi and Niger states are good places to start from

Raalsalghul:
Very insightful post I must say.
I don't know but delaying child bearing is one aspect Nigerians hardly look at.

Funny enough it's not only the ladies's decision to pop out sometimes pressure from the man too.
Such scenario is still affecting my sister's friend till now. And in her case, she was just 22.

And I wish NiggerAreans as you call it could bring down having kids to just 2. 3 and above should be for the elite. Our population is bloated already. As for me, the mere thought of bringing a child into this contraption is enough reason to steer clear of Marriage.

Finally, I've observed that most say 80per cent of successful/well to do people in this part of the world are kids of successful people too. So I dont blame the ones that want to have millions before settling down. Poverty can be inherited moving from one generation to the other. Reason why planning is vital.

yes Indeed

you have spoken well

ugom123:
It cant happen as long as Nigeria is still practising this unitary federalism that has been eaten up by tribalism. Forget development..

Also, the average Nigerian typically has no developmental plans. He only likes to spend money, to be noticed, praised and he does not like to produce anything. He likes to go to places where others have worked so that he can enjoy what others have worked. Nigerians do not have the mental and psychological capacity to build and develop any nation.

you have spoken truth

nwanneni:
It's like you are from Cameroon?Damn I love this country.
Beautiful,easy to talk to women(especially francophones),good scenery,lovely contented people that could relatively care less about money unlike Nigerians,affordable life,good food,nice beaches(limbe and kribi),steady power,affordable housing....etc.
I could go on and on....
When I make enough money,I might just retire here for real.
Life has so much meaning here for a person that has a source of income.I mean no one is in competition with anyone unlike Nigeria where you've got to get all the money in the world to be acknowledged.
The only thing I don't like here is the frustration going on in the lives of Cameroonian youths!sickening if you ask me.
I feel pity for their children for real and this ongoing war here(SW & NW) isn't helping matters.

your points here are what many in the other thread don't seem to get

QUALITY OF LIFE MATTERS...

VillagePipu:
My problem with empty headed girls is not even the girls, it is the fact that if they are mothers to your children, your children would also be empty headed.

There should also be mental compatibility when choosing a mate. Idiots ought to marry idiots.

lmao

this made me laugh

VillagePipu:
You see those teachers, they would use their 80k or 100k to build houses but those earning 500k, how many of them are living in their houses?

Even if you earn 5M per month, if your wife is empty headed with nothing sensible to contribute except bills, that 5M won't be enough for the family.

The more you earn, the higher your taste goes.

never knew I will agree with you on anything tho

So far, your comments have been spot on


mature and concise

abbey621:
Most of the things you mentioned does not apply to the Nigerian environment. We value kids and family more in Africa than abroad, average American or European cannot even sponsor their kids to college. The sensible ones are not living on 100k per month or $900. Furthermore even those earning minimum wage abroad cannot fully invest in 401k or savings to truly mean something, kids or no kids. I do agree with you tho, financial security and planning is very important but let's not kid ourselves, those making 100k per month are not going to build houses, buy cars and still have enough to send their kids to private universities. Even if they work 20 years, the outlook is just not encouraging hence why so many people look for deals, so what's the solution? Not have kids? Not own a house? Manage public transport?

we value kids more in Africa

I laugh

an average American /European cannot sponsor their kids to college
I will disagree with Europe because university is as good as free in most European countries for Europeans with the exception of day that Use Less UK...
so that does not count

But for the USA you are correct

colkege is tens of thousands of dollars and they will need to take student loans to meet up...

even with the abysmally low fees in NiggerArea
how many parents in Nigeria actually foot the bills of their kids in NigeriA?

even at less than 200 $

many still struggle to meet uo.
now think pf what happens if the school fees is like 400k per annum
how many parents in poverty Nigeria can pay?

and for one to be working just minimum wage jobs in America "-X
that means the person is not skilled

But that is beside the topic

Planning is key and that is my point
Africans need to adjust their mindset

Western couples I tell them that they don't know what they have by having a relatively structured system and mindset that helps them plan

NIGERIA
that means the person is not skilled

mikron:
let me get this straight because im really confused here
1. from u almost everybody living in Nigeria is poor. (sorry im not)
2. according to u and i quote ''Except you are in the political elite @class, or Corporate titan class (top echelon of corporate NIGERIA) or you have a networth of $300k upwards liquid, you are fooling yourself in NiggerArea thinking you are living life...'' that means everybody living in ivory coast have $300k?
and the ivory coast that u currently reside is a first world country right? they are very rich.
a classic case of giving a dog a bad name just to kill it.
Nigeria will be a better place for us, naija is blessed

okay....

Let me break it down to you....

Life in Nigeria (let mr call it that) is HELLISH

And it has a bleak future with the way kids are popping, and the excruciating unemployment levels

CIV on the other hand has unemployment issues (not to the degree of Nigeria tho, as they are lucky to have so much foreign investments that create jobs for them, plus a huge public sector that absorbs them)
CIV (and indeed most of the countries I stay intermittently in) enjoy a BETTER standard of living than you will find in Nigeria.

And that issa fact (ask anyone else who lived in multiplr countries)

to live the standard of life that a lower middle class Ivorian or say Turkish person lives, you will need to run your gen 24/7 (they have the light already) raise a tank above your house to get water ( they get water directly to their house, no need for pumping machine trouble) build high fences (they don't need that, secure and barricade yourself (they also do not need thst) and the list goes on.....

Nigeria ranis below CIV and Turkey in every Human Development Index....

NIGERIA the poverty capital of the world should tell you something
I have travelled to all regions in Nigeria apart from NE and I have seen poverty like I have never seen elsewhere apart from Liberia and Sierra Leone In that country

that is my point

tho it's somewhat easier for a Nigerian to make quick money (especially if you have no conscience and you are ready to do whatever, to what end really?
when you will still livein fear

so except you are very loaded, i see no reason why anyone will want to live in Nigeria


If only Nigeria can fix its power problen; security problem and curb it's soaring inflatoo rate, the quality of life will improve so much

But till then

the country is still failed

wealthdeejay1:
In fact you really have Ghana experience. You only talked about Accra mosquitoes and didn't talk about the bad odour coming out of every angle in Accra. Go to dome st. John,agbogbloloshie,Sodom and Gomorrah,kwabeyan,alajo,kaneshie and many other places in and around Accra and see life. Almost everything about GH is overhyped.Even the light dey go wella(dum-sir,dum-sir is the term I.e on and off).If you really want to understudy Ghana,just go to their other regions like Volta, Eastern or Northern region and see how Ghanaians are suffering. If you are not a businessman,pls don't go there or unless you are into yahoo yahoo. If you have your money, you can go for adventures, but remember Ghana is expensive. Not for hustlers Ghana people are also crying o �

Ghana is for business or to play about (enjoyment)

no jobs

infavt, it's the same story across Africa

If you are not opening your business

sorry for you....

I travel a lot... (call me a nomad ifyou want)

But I spend the most months of the year in Abidjan, hence it being my base "at least for now"

That country is what Nigeria will NEVER BE in 20 years
You do not see extreme poverty in abundance like you see in nigger Area

the people here ball Monday to Sunday because they have not been subjected to unfold suffering the scale of NIGERIA

How many Ivorians run to France the way you niggers run out to say anywhere for treatment?
the hospitals are good enough
even a fool in abobo will sleep under A.C. this night while niggers will be sleeping in heat and mosquito

They eat better (food is cheaper)
they have better infrastructures than your zoo

even in a rundown place like abobo, they still have street light and running water
Does Lekki have street lights, central sewage system and pipeborne water?
NOPE
NA overhead tanks with polluted water, pocket of steetlight and noisy generators una get
bomboclat zoo
All you need to do is comehere and see for yourself
ignorance is bliss and a trip to that country will cure you of ignorance

Doyou know how many visas one has gotten from here because you have the "carte de sejour" here?

You cannot knuw; because it's a coded runs

as for throwing away my Nigerian passport...

once the time comes, and I acquire another one.....

I go just keep the ones I have used already in the archives

NiggerArea passport that has caused me so so much stress

when you travel often like I do to different countries, you will understand my anger with Zoogeria...

and for those who travel and are still happy with the things going on, their minds are little.
