Lets stop lying to ourselves that every single profession can survive any terrain. Have you seen a Canadian doctor working in a General hospital in Nigeria?

A plant will grow when it had access to water and sunlight. It doesnt mean any amount of water or sunlight does the magic. Too much or too little will kill it

Nigeria is not providing the atmosphere for professionals to stay and even improve it. I worked for a company that uses generator for 19 hours everyday. Because of the instability of power, they use a gen and guess who pays for this extra cost? The end user

You can motivate yourself to make it here. It's absolutely fine. But don't ever tell yourself that those who leave are wrong. They are absolutely right, sir

In recent times, a lot of doctors, bankers and other professionals have fled the shores of Nigeria for greener pastures in Canada, Australia and other parts of the world.

No doubts, Nigeria is a tough place to live, judging by such indices as life expectancy, poverty ratio, social justice, etc. But in the midst of all these woes lies huge opportunities waiting to be tapped for personal and societal good. Sadly, while our people are seeking ways to leave the country, the Chinese and Indians are moving in to harness the opportunities the gap in health, transportation, food, construction, just to mention a few sectors have offered.

It is never a bad idea to look for better opportunities and a better life elsewhere. However, the question is, did those lands and their grasses just became greener by default? No! They are watered by deliberate efforts of citizens. People who: speak up against bad government, press for good governance through protest, and at times with their blood. At other times, citizens make sacrifices they may not directly benefit from, but for the good of future generations. We have the likes of Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, etc who stood and fought for what many people are enjoying today.

We all owe this beloved country and future generations a duty to develop this nation.

This is the land of my birth, and I will never run away!

It is high time political and traditional leaders from the East begin to take these matters seriously. The way some fellows be spoiling the name of the region is too much. Anytime you hear of drugs anywhere else other than in the UK, you know the culprits have to be Easterners.

One way to start is to ease this pressure of coming home big for the festive period and stop reserving titles for anyone who can pay. Let people earn traditional titles.

True love has slowly eroded away in this our country. Almost everyone calculates benefits before going into anything and when those benefits dry up, they japa to d next. The socioeconomic atmosphere ain't helping matters too

People like abusing his children, saying they are lucky to be born with a silver spoon. He himself could have rested on his own father's laurels, after all his dad was a governor. But instead he bought a shitty truck and was selling diesel door-to-door, hustling. Their own grandfather nko... I don't recall he was born into wealth, but he worked hard for decades. I see the same hustling spirit in his daughters who may one day be billionaires in their own right. Of course they're leveraging their parent's wealth and connections - isn't that what all children do?

Most youths today - if they looked hard - have much more opportunities for becoming successful today than in the 80's or even 90's. They will say "there's no money, they're no jobs"... yet people are making it in various ways.

Happy birthday gal, and keep on rocking.

which plan, Lagos get plan? Lagos grew out several pre colonial settlements, there was never any conscious effort to plan a city and the subsequent population explosion is overstretching the poor facilities to its limits.

koyyes:
Yes, warri and pH had huge potential but they messed things up.

GidiWoodsMan:
Greed was mistakenly encoded into the blackman's genes.

koyyes:
Yes, I agree that Lagos was not planned well. But I don't agree that there are other equally notable commercial centres because almost all home and foreign establishments seem to have their location is Lagos first before and other state(s).

The plan from the beginning would have been not to make Lagos the main commercial centre.

koyyes:
That's quite shameful.
Why can't we have other commercial centres in other parts of the country?
Greed and foolishness.

ShenTeh:
You leave your house by 4.30am. You go still jam traffic for iyanaoworo and MUSON centre. You leave your office by 9pm you go still jam for Iyana Oworo and Ojota.

Same people same days same roads same routes same suffering. Nothing changing, just the dates on the calendars

Tallesty1:
You can't blame them my brother. They usually get home late and leave early the next morning. Sometimes I feel like Nigeria is the purgatory for sinners from another planet.

I'm a die hard Nairalander and infact it was so vital in my move, kudos to this great forum. I just recently moved to Canada that's my street by 6am after a little snowfall. Thank God I escaped Buhari's wickedness, insensitivity and cluelessness.
Guys, life is sweet if you are at the right place and doing the right thing. God is great.
Will celebrate y'all as well.. amen!

Gerrard59:
Bad belly everywhere! Simple congratulations and go, it becomes difficult.

Unfortunately, the blogger didn't tell his readers the course this lad studied, department graduated from and the final CGPA. Poor writeup!

Congratulations to him. If only I started mine (writing the goals) earlier.



Since he has it as a dream, then he might return. Only if the system there lures him by how efficient it's compared to Yaba and environs.

IDUNMOTA:
Most of the grid lock is caused by the so called useless military and the police families that parked on the ramp. Six escort vehicle for just one person traveling. The ramp has been turned to a parking lot for this useless general and their families.

Bolustical:
Except for the drug trafficking tendencies of some people we know, Nigeria is gradually getting shaped back.
Our airport terminals are getting new faces, railways projects are nearing completion and our roads getting serious attention.

This Airport Road is one of the reasons PDP shouldn't govern Nigeria again coz they wouldn't have given Ambode the go-ahead to construct that road if they had been in power. This is is simply because they want to score cheap political points.

Lagos is for the progressives and not the regressives from the other side. They know themselves.

Wilson125:
but why do we go school? Is it to come n be like hushpuppi or to gain knowledge ?�

Justfunkira:
chai Nigerians and mediocrity ehnn
Nah only trash we sabi boast about
Guy's are starting billion dollar companies and taking them public, this one dey here dey brag about a worthless piece of paper

LesbianBoy:
Who best graduating student help? When hushpuppi and co. that did not go to school are cashing out seriously.

Meanwhile what about that guy that scored 5.00 cgpa in unilag few years ago? Does anyone know if he is now balling or still doing "yes sir" in one company

traihit:
You can say that again and again. It's time parents know this and develop it in their kids, it's time education empathize the out-of-school exploration of knowledge. Almost all the inventors and contributors to mankind's development did it without the formality of the school environment. The school is meant to show us a hint of what we need to uncover by ourselves. The school is not the answer to full education.

YOUNGEBEN91:
No black man here. Such a pity.

wifeesnatcher:
School is not scam. Too much of self reliance on employment is the scam here


It's only in Africa graduates see going to school as means of employment. The basic motive of going to school is for empowerment, if you don't empower as in developed yourself will the employers see the potentials in you


There are many graduates of sciences like biochemistry, microbiology and even those that studied Yoruba working in financial institutions today, why? Because they developed themselves and expose their reliance beyond their field


If school is not paving way for you, check yourself no be everybody go work for banks or under people. If those offices you're struggling to work under relied on getting employment as the etiquette of their graduating in an institutions, which company will you be lobbying to work under?

SmartMen:
He is a smart musician...you have to give it to him. If i want to learn about the music industry based on current happenings, I will consult Davido. he is more of an entrepreneur than a musician. Music in Nigeria is no longer about talents. You have to apply guerilla tactics lol
