So u actually want buhari to fix it??.. Infact if I am buhari 2nd Niger bridge will b a write off..

A president has an obligation to the entire country
Whether that part of the country voted you or not

That is the way it is....

But the black man mentality is prevalent in the zoo failed country

that is why many people think like you


The entire country pays taxes and the govt collect revenues

why then will a government DELIBERATELY marginalize a section of the country (that is IF the allegation is true)

@Angelicbeing
You see the mindset of a country in which those fvckers on the other thread said will get better?

Money is NOT on the top ten on the list of reasons why I left Nigeria.
I'm 100% sure that if I were in Nigeria since 2012, I would have made more than ten times the money I have made since 2012.

Let me tell you some of the reasons I left Nigeria.

1. Health: each time I want to discuss this, I get extremely emotional. My father was diabetic for many years. Over the past three years till my father died in February, my family was spending an average of HALF A MILLION NAIRA MONTHLY on my father's hospital visits and medications, this doesn’t include the over N5million we spent on his eyes surgeries to save his sight. My father's health condition is what they call "Big man sickness". Because my Dad lived with the condition post diagnosis for about two decades. It was VERY EXPENSIVE to manage his health. How many Nigerian households earn upto N500k monthly talk less of spending that on the health of just one family member?

If my Dad were British or Canadian who had worked in civil service (Like he did in Nigeria) for 35-years and retired, his healthcare would have been ABSOLUTELY FREE and sorted out by the government. He wouldn't have had to spend his gratuity on managing his health and staying alive.

Listen! My siblings and their families are British. No matter what sickness they get afflicted with (I hope NOT), they will NEVER have to resort to begging the public to raise funds for them. They are citizens and tax payers of a country that sees healthcare as a fundamental right and provides it free of charge for the citizens and some residents.

Here in Canada, my health insurance covers me upto a maximum of FIVE MILLION DOLLARS a year. By next year, I'd be fully covered by the provincial free healthcare, and will not need private health insurance anymore.

But YOU as a Nigerian in Nigeria is just one sickness away from becoming a social media beggar and losing your dignity trying to beg for money to save your life because your government cannot even do as little as subsidize healthcare.
Any small growth in your legs, you start a fundraising to raise millions so that you can run to India to save your life. Not only are you short of money, you don't even trust the facilities and your healthcare professionals to be able to save you in your country even though you are able to successfully beg for the full amount you want. You have to go to India.

While going home for my Dad's burial, my siblings and I had to go home with our own medications because a lot of the ones you have in Nigeria are adulterated and almost as good as chalks. I had to take my own paracetamol and tylenol to Nigeria (for menstrual cramps) because the Nigerian made paracetamol doesn't work for me.

One of the reasons my Dad's medication was that expensive was because we had to order them from the UK. Not because they were not available in Nigeria, but because the ones in Nigeria were not working.

If I start feeling too sick in Canada or the UK, I can dial 911 or 999, and qualified healthcare professionals will come and attend to me. You don't have Emergency healthcare dials and services in Nigeria. Call an ambulance and they might charge you N100k or more to come. That's if you are lucky enough to reach them.

2. Security: coming home this period refreshed my memory on the level of insecurity in Nigeria. In my house in Canada, I SELDOM lock my front door or room door at night before I go to bed. I leave my front door unlocked and leave my house and come back to meet everything still in tact. Sometimes, I lock, but that might be just because I don't want someone or a friend bumping into me, or maybe because I'm trying to avoid seeing someone. It's seldom because I think someone will come and rob, rape and maybe kill me.
But we have a huge dog in my family home in Nigeria. Every night when the dog starts barking, we wake up and become scared because there might be a robbery going on somewhere close, or some people of the underworld are roaming the streets. This is despite all the multiple iron doors we've locked and locked.
I couldn't go to all the places I wanted to go to because my family members were scared for my life.
The life of an average Nigerian seems worth less than the life of a fatted Nigerian cow.

If I'm in danger in Canada, I've got 911 and the police would come and do their best to rescue me. In Nigeria, no emergency police dial. If you even manage to get to the police, they will ask you to bribe them and fuel their cars before they will consider whether or not they can help you.

3. Education: where do we start from on this one? Am I supposed to write another epistle trying to tell you how decayed the educational system in Nigeria is? Are we going to start from malpractice or the lack of infrastructure or some of the English teachers that can't make a single grammatically correct sentence in English? Please, where do we start from? You lots went through the system. So, you should know this more than I do.

4. Freedom: I can exercise my fundamental rights without being harrassed. No police officer will come into a club and arrest all the females there and ask them to choose between monetary bribe and rape as a bail price.

5. Having 24-hours power supply and a few other basics are "luxuries" enjoyed only by the very few rich Nigerians. Maybe just the top 5%.

6. Standard of living: working fulltime while earning a minimum wage in the UK and Canada will enable you to be able to COMFORTABLY afford the basics... maybe not luxury. Basics like a decent accommodation, good food, good clothes, and to be able to run a small car.
In Nigeria, they recently increased your minimum wage from N18k to N30k; which is still barely enough to make your hair and buy underwear and sanitary pads for the month.
I heard (didn't confirm) that Nigeria was declared the poverty headquarters of the world.

You see, I could go on and on, but let me stop here.
It's ok if you want to stay in Nigeria and remain there, but you can do that without trying too hard to come up with some daft arguments. And if you are a Nigerian earning less than N2million per month, I need you to remind yourself that you are just a sickness away from becoming a beggar! Let that sink in!

The country is currently a BIG MESS!
It's very ok for people to want better for themselves and seek greener pastures elsewhere. And if you don't want to leave, STAY! Let those who want to leave leave.

You people keep asking "If we all run away who will repair the country?" YOU of course. You who is still there will help us repair it. Please stay there and help us fix it. We are begging you.

The irony of this whole thing is that most of these so-called patriotic Nigerians had all their children in the US. I once met a woman on Facebook arguing against people leaving Nigeria to seek citizenship elsewhere. When I engaged her in an argument and dug deeper, I realized that she had ALL her four children in the US. They are US citizens. She paid millions to make sure her children are US citizens, but she was on Facebook advocating for other Nigerians not to go abroad for citizenship. You don't need to know how I finished with her that day.

Another set of people are those who either can’t afford the immigration process, or those who have applied to leave the country several times but have been denied Visas, and those who do not meet the requirements for immigration as skilled workers. They become patriotic after they have visited almost all the embassies in Lagos and Abuja and seen that there is no hope, and that the destinies of them and their children and children's children are ingrained in Nigeria. More like "since I can't have it, let me badmouth it." My heartfelt sympathies are with these ones.

You Nigerian citizens in Nigeria have only Nigeria as an option. Nigerian citizens with other citizenships have Nigeria and other options. I can get up at almost any time and go to Nigeria or Canada. But you can't just wake up and come to Canada. You enjoy the benefits of being Nigerians. Nigerians with dual citizenship enjoy the benefits of being Nigerians and being citizens of other countries. I know this is quite petty, but allow me to just rub this in.

Stay in Nigeria if you want. But biko, spare us those lame arguments.

*-*

When I read all those "Will you travel abroad if you get N2million as salary", I laugh. Who ever told you people that it's all about money?

The fact that most thieves and some of the politicians stealing from you and most Nigerian Billionaires and richest send their children abroad should be enough to tell you that people don't just travel abroad for money. It's way more than that. There's more to life than just money.

My parents sent us their children out of Nigeria because of the poor education, insecurity and poor healthcare in Nigeria. It was NOT so that we will go and make money for them.

- Nkechi Bianze

leaving the destroyed country is a good decision

it's not about money

CanadianNaija:
Op do you speak their language? If no, how do you intend to fully integrate in a non English speaking country, if you don’t speak the language of communication there?
You see people travel abroad to non English speaking countries and make no effort to learn the language, how then do you expect to integrate properly?

Take whatever decision you want, but let it be well thought out. The good thing is that you’re still young, but do not think that it will be easy anywhere or have high expectations because you have a masters...lots of people have masters degrees now, so that’s not an advantage.

My advice to anyone going (legally) to a non-English speaking country is to try and give yourself 1 year to learn their language, I have seen people do this and their lives changed for the better. There are language courses to aid integration, I know this is available at schools in that Germany because my cousin enrolled in one, and it helped to open doors for him.
His wife too enrolled when she was brought over, and she is almost done with hers.
The menial jobs you’re complaining about is what’s making you bread winner for your family, if you decide to move let it be a well thought out decision.

exactly

you have to learn the language of the country WELL to fit in better

Beautyaddy:
Very contradicting and wrong statement.
Men and women in Nigeria are not treated equally.

don't mind the joker

willy2000:
.
Isn't being a baby daddy better than marrying a woman and leaving her in another part of the planet? Now, you want to have your wife and kids under the radar while you are not? Why starve a woman from love and affection if what you need are children?

that is the MENTALITY of a typical nigga

igbo men especially are good at such fvckery

marry an unfortunate woman and keep her in NiggerArea while konji dey kill am for Nigeria, saddled with kids while you are abroad

we see this things all the time

And it does not end well

Profkenny1:
It's no more advisable to be married in the West. It's become a raw deal for men here in the West. Women here see men as disposable utilities, and with the gynolunatic laws they can ruin your life! Sincerely the juice ain't worth the squeeze anymore.

If you want to marry, then marry and leave your wife in a sane country where men and women are treated equally and where the laws are not biased against men. You can marry a girl in Naija and leave her there. Have kids with her (maximum of 2 children and make sure you do DNA tests IMMEDIATELY they are birthed because you don't wanna raise another man's sperm!), build her and your children a house making sure your sisters are close to them and your wife and kids are under their radar.

The rate at which men commit suicide after getting divorce-raped in western family courts is alarming! You don't wanna be a married man here!

did you call NiggerArea a same country that treat men and women equally?

bencliff2017:
Are you saying the children raised in Nigeria don’t have a good future...small pikin mentality

to be frank with you


They don't (most of them)


And I am not a "small pikin"

if it's very difficult for young people to get jobs TODAY and many have slipped iny9 despondency

how do you think it will be for the small ones who are too too many coming (the foolish country breed like rats btw, when they have no plan for the unfortunate kids)

quite frankly
the future id quite bleak


except a wonderful miracle happens

sweetmelanin:
The sad truth is that the grace for moving abroad is GONE.

Those who are enjoying abroad now are the children of immigrants who moved in the 1990s . Some of these millenials now hold dual citizenship and are accustomed to both ways of life. They can visit Nigeria as they please and yet enjoy the privileges of a US/UK/EU/Canadian passport. They have solid roots abroad as they grew up there (childhood friends, family members around etc..)

New immigrants will definitely struggle as it's easier to be depressed in a country where you have no roots.

it's expected for immigrants to struggle at first
the descendants of such immigrants will not suffer much as they did

You don't expect to leave behind your failed third world $hithole dump and just adjust and fit in like that

Struggles will be there

But you can overcome

FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR DESCENDANT

Yo

interesting discussion here

PeachtreeReside:
Sometimes , I wonder why we pick ills from the more exposed western world.

Or can we ask any of our forefathers and foremothers if they ever thought of having threesomes and co despite having co-wives

This sex sha, be careful not to develop unusual appetites that will consume and ruin you in the long run.

I caught a clip of a porn actress in Twitter and I couldn't help but laugh.

Porn is majorly acting and might not be achieveable for non-actors. So is sex with prostitutes and side pieces. They have to do exaggerated stunts to sell.

Learn to adjust and love good old tested and trusted styles so you won't land in the hospital or a spiritual house because you need to cast out a legion of demons or 2....


Advice is meant for both men and women ....

interesting

Opinedecandid:
You deh talk rubbish.
Upon all the myraids of problems: insecurity, unemployment, economic dearth, militarism of the electoral process, decadence in the edu sector, etc, that your Buhari/APC has plunged Nigeria into, you still have the guts to talk rubbish.

don't mind him

wildikeman:
No mind am make him dey talk rubbish. My cousin... A black woman married to a Nigerian man. Is a top lawyer in Montreal.... So let him talk.... Its his choice to fool himself

lmao

MajorJeffery:
I urge everyone to go back and read the Twitter comment by a fool named SEKONI to see the mentality of people you share a country with. It's so pitiful.

it's a shame

Gentlewarrior1:
Vector is right but unfortunately

Nigerians are hypocritical backward thinking bastards

I have lost hope in this country. When i travelled outside naija was when my disgust for naija grew. We are really suffering and we have gotten used to it. Chains of corruotion, tribalism, religious bigoty and hypocrisy will forever hold naija down.

98% of Nigerians are corrupt and as good as fraudsters in one way or the other. See some people criticising yahoo boys as if they are better; the truth is almost every country has fraudsters/hackers most are even way more advanced than naija yahoo boys but they are few because there's a way out for them in their countries, their government are accountable and working towards providing job for the youths and all. We have vast wealth being wasted by a select elite. Do you know how painful it is to go graduate from a tertiary institution in this hellhole of a nation with its suicidal educational system and safistic lecturers yet ine cant secure a job or will be offered a paltry 30k as job even with your sharp 2.1 and smart mindset. This country disgust me. Ordinary 24hours light self na problem, poor health care so tey government officials and our bastard president will have the effontery to travel abroad if them get headache. Looting up amd down billions upon billions of nigerian money stacked in switzerland, uk, us, dubai , netherlands and many other countries while we languish in abject poverty

Nigerian government from the president down are fraudsters
Our judiciary fraudsters
Efcc is still a fraudulent organization
Custom fraud
Millitary fraud
Police armed fraudulent thiefs
Civil servants scammers
Lecturers corrupt
Market people fraudsters

The system is corrupt. The sytem gave birth to this same yahoo boys

Funny how you will see one idiot lecturer that sorts his/her course in the university open their worthless hypocritical corrupt mouth and be talking shiit about yahoo boys.

Nigerians are hypocrites and we can continue deceiving ourselves but unless we tackle the root cause of our problem as a nation then we are going no where. The more the fight against yahoo boys intensifies without adequate provision of jobs, then believe me we are only giving rooms to berth more armed robbers and kidnappers and all manner of criminals. As shameful as it sounds we should even be grateful to yahoo boys for the forex they bring to nigeria; this boys have taken this criminality to empower and employ themselves from their proceeds business is booming real estate is booming music industry is booming their family members and friends are benefitting one way or the other. People fail to realise or try to downplay the impact of yahoo yahoo to our economy. Its a shame really but if you are not fighting the government then you have no right whatsoever to criticize yahoo boys because you yourself is most likely benefiting from their proceeds in ways you never or even you're most likely a corrupt scammer maybe in your office job or even line of business. Because those who engage in bribery and corruption are similar to scammers and are both illegal.

What we need is a revolution but unfortunately we still dey form too strong and we never suffer too much not to talk of tribalism and religious bigotry all this no go allow us challenge the system. Even disintegration self dem no gree


I swear Naija is a big shameless shithole. Travel outside naija and see for yourself

When you travel outside this shithole you will feel like crying. I almost shed tears my first time outside naija. Its really sad being a Nigerian. We deceive ourselves too much

lmao


I feel your pain

it's too bad

kernel01:
You think it's fun to take one's own life? Nigerians aren't over doing this, but they're faced with the worst hardship. No job after years in the University.

That is what these fools that inhabit that failed destroyed country does not get....

it has NEVER been this bad for the last 30 years....

Hopelessness, hunger pangs etc

the country is falling apart and yet many foolish Nigerians continue to cheer the Use Less govt we have in aso rock.

graduates looking for jobs
businesses struggling


And the loss of hope has increased drastically the spate of kidnappings and other vices around.


suicide rates going up is not a coincidence

MrMou:
This one na pained irredeemable wailer!
Man says "who told you I'm a PDP sympathizer"? You don't support PDP; you support KOWA! You think we are all as unintelligent as the PDP sycophants & IPIGs? Na today you begin post for Nairaland?
You wey intelligent can't counter what I said with facts, instead, na the usually emotional PDP sycophants' & IPIGs rants I just dey see!

Someone on this same thread is saying he's going to commit suicide because he's too shy to be the big music star he's always wanted to be which is making him so depressed but you wey intelligent go link am to Buhari, & you think say you get sense so? You better recover from the defeat of your beloved ineffectual buffoon in 2015 & the shameless international thief in 2019! They're never coming back!

look at this one.......


continue supporting the Daura President to further destroy the country you hear?

I don't have any other thing to tell you

Deathisfree:
When I mean hardship not just financial depression alone. Money or not ,depression is real

My advice for you. Before you prob anyone. Make your findings. Don’t just prob or argue blindly

You think its just financial depression that young ones go through alone,

this man sef

Depression is NOT age specific
Hardship is NOT age specific

it's all dependent on what the cruel world throw at you

MrMou:
Oga, them dey overdo!

What were you expecting from an economy with a GDP growth of just 2.35% from 7.68% that the ineffectual buffoon met it in 2011? What were you expecting from an economy where the foreign reserves was plunged to just $25bn from the over $50bn he met it? What were you expecting from the economy with oil prices falling as low as $29/barrel within the first 6 months of Buhari's resumption when even with way higher prices, Ebelemi & Okonjo were already borrowing to pay salaries? Did you think Okonjo was talking trash when she was talking about austerity measures months before they left office?

Person commit suicide for heartbreak, na Buhari! Person commit suicide for loneliness or low self esteem, you must link am to Buhari! Nawa for una! Some years ago, a woman parked an expensive Jeep by 3rd mainland bridge & jumped into the river just because her husband caught her cheating, no be overdo be that? But I trust say you still link am to Buhari.
You PDP sycophants should just go and sit down in one place!

look at this APC sycophant with low iq

who told you im a pdp sympathizer?

Buhari has done 4 years and killed the country

hunger pangs are biting much more

people dying like fowls

nothing is working

people are committing suicide due to the frustration in the country your idiot president has ran aground and will further destroy

And folks like you who have got their futures mortgaged are still hailing and supporting a dunce like Bubu

nonsense and foolishness

koyyes:
All the good hearted peeps have ran away to obodo oyibo and are busy serving the communities of the white man.

Na vultures remain for this sh1t hole.

really vultures

pocohantas:
This thread just made my heart beat faster
It is well.

Why is that?

Deathisfree:
I know how you feel bro. But I will gladly tell you ,you haven’t faced any hardship yet. Hard times comes up when you are about thirties till 40 years of age.

My advice is. What ever you are going through. Calm down .you are the future of tomr. Hard life means great future

That’s my golden advice for you sweetheart.

You are wrong on that one tho

I know a relative who faced much more hardship in his teenage years than most people in their 30s and 40s

tho he is now old, and life is better

Hardship is not by age, but what this wicked world throws at you.

That's it o

MrMou:
No mind Naija! We sabi overdo die! Whether na religion o, fashion o, crime o, drugs o, we go make sure say we overcopy! Nawa!

this is not about overdo


The country is fvcked and finished

it's pushing people to the edge

I know how relatives call me and complain and beg

People born from 1983 till date has not seen it this bad and damaged under this idiot president we have

getting a job and becoming productive is increasingly difficult in that failed third world shithole joke

is it in suicide that someone wants to overdo

You know what it takes to kill yourself?

flexyrule:
If you relocate the whole of USA to Nigeria, and move ALL Nigerians to the US. The level of development in Nigeria would surpase that of the US in less than 20 years. It's not the country, it's the people!

You have said it all

PeachtreeReside:
Keep cursing your own country ,inugo?

Americans as much as they are disenchanted with their country , don't curse .

But Nigerians with slave mentality , pan-colonialism would do what our fore fathers slave masters condition us to do and think.since Trump called your country shithole, it's now your favourite word. Wonder how many had heard of that word before then ....


We sang Jos is burning for years, and didn't Jos burn literally?

We are all at the ages where Awo and Zik fought for our independence.

What are we doing
Fight tribal wars, troll each other, disrespect ourselves, throw pity party, play the victims and coward in unequal turns, do everything to destabilise and destroy our unity .

O, and plan to leave Nigeria and never come back.

There is trouble all over the world my dear ones.

If you have ever lived in the abroad , you will realize how blessed we are if only we have small sense to do the right thing.

Using entertainment to dull our reasoning when we should be partnering with ourselves to move not just our lives but our country forward .


Keep playing your silly tribal wars, keep getting angry when Northerners are getting cushy position that you are better qualified for.

Keep singing the usual dirge of how Buhari is there to make us all suffer despite your predictions.


I pity us all.

prior to Trump saying it

I have always known and said that Nigeria is a third world failed $hithole disgrace

it's saying it as it is...

how else can you describe a country that is so failed and twisted the way NiggerArea is

fools breeding like rats


ignorance ignorance everywhere

hunger too much

simple light una no get

wickedness tied to the heart of NiggerArean

tribalism is the fav sport

immigration will harass you and welcome foreigners

we have an idiot as president

religious extremism

And the list continues


For those of you still in Nigeria
