You claim Ivorians lived right and life is so good there.
So I asked why they drive ancient cars na,no be so again?
The car that killed ARAFAT driven by a journalist was a 23year old cheap,knockdown ford focus.
Can you see a Nigerian journalist drive that?
Electricity is not everything my friend.
Stop making this about you.
Crime?It is impossible for you to buy and run a Benz in CIV.We know it will cost you ×3 of what it will cost you in Nigeria to buy and run it,that's why you don't have it,not because you don't need it.
ABI you be monk?

smh

kunlegboye:
Back home it's worse ,some of us liter the street and even disobey traffic light .I was inside one ' keke' one day the driver drove pass while the red light was on...I tried to let him know it'was wrong.He was angry and some people inside supported him that he's not the only person that do that.

You see am?

MiztaYouneek:
Am sorry, you don't have to blame me if your parents didn't have money to take you to school to learn how to read and understand. But be that as it already is, try as much as possible to educate yourself properly in a way that your could live a humble and respectful life. Trust me it will take you a very long way. Please try as much as possible to do this before you clock 40years because I believe you might have heard a popular saying about something at 40 that remains that same thing forever.

I can bet you stay in CIV as well


If its not CIV it's Senegal or Gabon

but I'm sure it's CIV

Oh please save that cliche for unexposed cavemen and women that are here,not Me!
Even for Europe men still dey buy Benz,even whites and Japanese dey buy Benz steady.so enough with the neighbourhood BS.
I know better,trust me.
Besides my question was generic,not directed at you.
Why do Ivorians drive 25+ year old cars as standard if their lives were so better and glamorous?
Simple!it is very expensive for very poor people like them.Na constant light na there life end?
Bros,I am no grass to grace you hear?so save your sanctimony.
If I show you a little of my "Grass" like you claim,you fit humble las las...

I don't need a benz

why are you upset about that

not that its a crime to buy one

But I will rather not

I wonder what the issue is

martowskin1:
Am not bro, never supported her since day one, after all I saw on her IG page.

I was supporting the jackey of a girl who is the software engineer.

But as usual people are over trashing the issue, tacha is just a result of failed parenting in our society..

So many homes are failing an if u look at our social media sphere, u will see it ur self.

So to me, tacha is nothing new.... They are all over our society, workplace, school, church etc.

It worst in her case because they are in a confined space.

Most of them ranting on NL can't even have a single roommate.

And if u observe the tacha of a girl, she doesn't look for trouble, should only lack the ability to manage her reactions to issues

Am not a sentimental idiot, I say things the way I see them..... The mecy of a girl is actually a good trouble finder, but she is smart in looking for those troubles

Which actually make tacha dumb,

You have spoken well

failed parenting

je n'est pas vu un truc quil est triste la bas.
C'est simple.le Nigerians sont les trop intelligent en Afrique.
Sauf que nos qualite en fete ne pas facile pour avoir,la raison que le Nigerians sont brouillant.
Las las una go dey alright.
Naija any day,any time.
Green white green for life.
I hope you can comfortably buy a Benz in CIV sha.

Na so so 30 year old cars una dey drive,why?
Toyota corolla cent quinze everywhere yet una no go shut up

Don't need a benz

I live in a good neighbourhood
have a good network

and making money from my businesses

What else can i want in this life?

but of course I am not loud or braggart

was not cut out that way

may be because my own story is not exactly a grass to grace story

But hey
even my own dad aint a braggart
and he is somewhat a grass to grace person

So

obiekunie2:
you owe ndi igbo a deep apology for that slanderous comment you made against us and i will advice you to delete that comment or forever remain a persona non gratta to Ndi Igbo!

you and the likes of joe yorubakwe are the type of people we dont breed - slaves!

Ndi Igbo dont bend the knee for any body - be you white, black, brown or yellow - we are born kings!

you can say we are proud, 'braggy' and pompous - you can even hate us all you can because of our heritage of always seeing ourselves as far better than others - the truth is, we dont giv a fuk!

people like you can do all you can to pull us down - but fact is he whom heavens have lifted up - no man can pull down.

who dey bow knee ?

At last you have said something that I agree with
That is not who we are

And as for Joe Igbokwe

he is not a serious PERSON
forget about him

But as for being proud and braggart
those are repugnant traits

no sugar coating can change it

MrBrownJay1:
Sadly, people think that we shouldn't state this awful fact, because of whatever misplaced reason... but that's a damn fact.

I will continue to talk

one of my kinsmen up there is even trying to guilt trip me

calling me a saboteur and all that

Logobenz:
Africans are nouveau-riche people from 3rd world countries na.
Why would you compare a rich person from Nigeria to that of Japan?
How credible is that?
Nigerians are people that have been through a lot of tribulations,lacked everything;food,water,descent shelter,healthcare,enabling environment...and yet such a person makes it out of there,against all odds and you expect him not to brag?
He deserves some accolades Men,so leave Japan out of it.
I will tell you again,Ivorians,Congolese,Kenyans,Cameroonians,Togolese,Beninoise,etc don't brag because they are dirt poor people.
Nigerians there own their law systems because they have what most of their inferences lack;money and sense
Ce la verite que je dit comme ca!

C'est vraimment triste que les Nigérians pensent comme ça

Il est très mieux d"être mouet

The noise est vraimment trop

cest mon avis personnelle quand même

MrBrownJay1:
Lived 5 yrs in the UK and lived extensively around the world for the past +20yrs.... Nigerians are EASY to spot anywhere you go on this eaeth, due to their loud manners.

true

even in Istanbul "-\

obiekunie2:
see this fool that doesn't know his father is stylishly trying to make us think he has one!

a full blooded igbo man that knows obi ndi ichie nna ya will never slander an igbo man in public - he will rather call you a brother a correct you like a brother does!

not efulefu like you that will come to the public and slander the only chosen tribe in nigeria just bc you want to garner likes!

common gbafue! amuta etufue! ezi ofia!

stop mentioning me cause replying you makes me want to puke! ozu!

your punk ass needs rehabilitation

An igbo man stands for the truth
no matter what

That is the true essence of being one.

not this hyper persona you and your ilk try to potray....


it's damaging to our collective image.

#Fact.


You don't need to bring others down to feel good about ourselves

we have made some strides
we don't need to be loud and braggart to show it

The world is not blind
they can see for themselves
it's the loudness and braggart behaviour (which btw reeks of low self esteem) that Is damaging our image

We are in the mould of the Japs or the Jewish
but we have blown it all away
BecAuse unlike the Japs and Jews who don't make noise

our people make too much of it


Yorubas have fgeur issues and I I know them because I'm a Lagos bred
but let them deal with their own

Let us deal with ours

MrBrownJay1:
Don't believe the hype, there are just as many rascals in Europe as there are in Nigeria...the only difference is that the environment is better in Europe.

more like law enforcement has shaped many to behave themselves

that Is what make Europeans humans and Nigerians animals

law enforcement


without people being scared of the law

You cannot have a good society

MiztaYouneek:
Look at your comments again and you will realize you are just a typical example of what I am talking about. This is just online you are acting like this, so I wonder what will be so different from the way you act offline. Best of luck to your life away.

he does but realize it

obiekunie2:
nwanem!

Chukwu gozie gi mmaji!

Dont mind that frustrated vagabond that learnt to speak igbo bc a kind igbo man pick him up and train him out of sympathy based on the fact that he was abandoned on the street!

Instead of being grateful to ndi igbo he feels he can slander us!

LET THE WORLD HEAR THIS!

AN IGBO MAN CAN NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY ANYBODY NOR ANY GOVERNMENT!

IF YOU FEEL THAT WE ARE BRAGGING - YOU CAN GO DRINK SNIPPER FOR ALL WE CARE!

NO OTHER TRIBE CAN SURVIVE WHAT NIGERIA PUT US THRU AND STILL STAND HEADS AND SHOULDERS ABOVE OTHERS!

IF YOU SEE OUR 'NO SHIT TAKEN ATTITUDE' AS INTIMIDATION NA YOU SABI! WE DON'T GIV A FUK!

YES WE ARE PROUD - AND SO WHAT? DID ANY ONE STOP YOU FROM BEING PROUD TOO?

NANSENSE!

You see

it's igbo men like you that are out greatest problems

just look at how you reason
And your mindset

It has "Victim mentality" written all over it....

like my father would describe igbos like you

I could tell from your igbo.
I don't know why people are misconstruing simple logic.
Nigerians show off because they are the most successful black race na.
ABI you want people that don't have anything to show off?
Ugosample,stop speaking for everyone!no be only you Don waka.
Nigerians abide to the law almost everywhere,just a few elements get involved in rough deals in other countries.
Igbos trade almost everywhere they go to and abide to the law and at times buy the law and start feeling untouchable.Its something very normal for successful humans.
I know because I am igbo and come from a very successful family and also grew up outside Nigeria(francophone africa).If you like call it bragging,I don't care and might show you how much of a braggart I am
ABI you want poor Ivorian to start showing off?they've only got basic life amenities but are very poor people.
Nigerians always change the music and make even the worst shithole habitable.chew on that.
The easiest way to get a woman here sef is just to say;je suis biafrais and you are good.

And besides

Les Japonais are amongst the most successful people on earth

igbos don't even come close
yet you don't get these level of foolish behaviour from them

so that excuse of "it's normal for successful people" is void

naa
it's not bragging

I come from a similar background

just that I was born and raised in Lagos

And spend more time In CIV
cos I love it here

just that our brothers are fucking up

You and the other guy can be politically correct

I won't

Suspectzero:
This is the unfiltered truth i've been trying to tell people for a while now.

Blacks are far more xenophobic, prejudiced and racist than the white man in this day and age.

The only reason why we never truly had a good chance to show these "qualities"is because we've never had the upper hand. We've always been backwards so we've been the race preyed upon rather than the reverse.

What happened in South Africa is just a small microcosm of what the black man is capable of when faced with mass immigration into his Country from lesser Countries. The funny thing is that the blacks in South Africa are in no way responsible for how well the nation is doing. It's all thanks to the Apartheid Dutch Colonists (and some Indians) who built that Country up to what it is today. The black (South Africans) will destroy the Nation given half the chance.

they are destroying the country as we speak

25 years of ANC has sent that nigger country to the gutter

You know a country Is very useless when it has a higher unemployment and youth unemployment rate than NIGERIA
And that is the story of S.A.

just that they conceal it with those fancy buildings they have

let anc run the country for another 20 years
You will see what will b left of that country

TempleHouse:
Most Nigerians home and abroad are guilty of grandstanding and it's quite a national epidemics, to be honest.
Bragging, boasting and showing off is a national embarrassment to which most Nigerians are fond of.
The Yorubas living in London are the worst culprit I have seen Yoruba men and women speaking inside the public Buses boasting about Babalawo and Sexual capabilities inside the buses with a loud voice with absolute disregard for other people.
Maybe, it's a way of getting attention that they're no longer illegal immigrants after so many wasted years.

it has more to do with low self esteem tho

Gerrard59:
Well, the way I was brought up was to state facts clearly and not tus.h them up. I believe if we as Igbos call out our brothers and sisters (which I do online and offline) to order, it will go a long way at mitigating the issue. It's because these countries don't care which ethnic group one comes from, trust me, if they do, you know what will happen. Yet again, before one gets a Thai visa, the individual must get a clearance from NDLEA. Whose fault is that?

exactly!

franchasng:
Honestly this is a Nigerian problem, I don't know how Nigerians became this bad, it hurts.

Tribalism and religious division in Nigeria contributed to this mess because everybody wants to show he has somebody at the top at every small opportunity.

Every Nigerian want to intimidate the other using his or her connection or whatever, its really sad

it's a clear shameful behaviour

but in typical fashion
the ones here are just exhibiting iberibeism

frosbel2:
I live in the UK , outside London , and ALL the Nigerians I know behave very well. There are cases of Nigerians behaving loudly in London , but this is the exception rather than the norm.

UncleJudax:
Well, we are inherently divided. So, nationally, it would be almost impossible to get people in line because everything is partisan.

I say we start locally. Smaller governments.

Regional government would be better for the country...but ofcos, may never happen, since the present status is working for the elists

from what I have discovered
sometimes it's even the stupid masses that seek the division

because really

what did your countty man from another corner of Nigeria do to you for you to despise him ?

it's that empty sense of tribal superiority and silly behaviour that fuels this division

the elite use it well to their advantage.

That is why Nigeria is the way it is.

dannywest:
Are foreigners "humble" in Nigeria?

if we as Nigerians do not respect our law enforcement

You really think foreigner will?

You see that is the problem

Foreigners for example saw Nigerians (well the VIPs) use law enforcement as mere body gurard
so they got in on the train too....


Until Nigeria get sense
everything will remain senseless in that NiggerLand

safarigirl:
Some complaints here are petty and unnecessary

The fellow that did not want to give his ID probably had valid reasons you are blissfully unaware of, for not giving that ID. Just because you decided to be a good little boy and sit on the ground for thw police doesn't mean everybody should do same.

And this one you came here to report all the ethnic groups in Nigeria from the abroad, you, what are the negative traits you have equally exhibited there? It is easy to report others, while parading yourself as an epitome of a law-abiding citizen.

You missed the point

and I'm not surprised you did

What a silly title for an article that may have made some sense.

Nigerians in Diaspora should behave , lol.

99.5% of Nigerians in Diaspora do actually behave.

that's not true

if you have travelled and been in different countries like some of us here

You will not be talking like this

Nigerians have to be one of the worst behaved Africans there

blackmantis:
Op you could have applied more tact by not mentioning any trybe while trying to pass your message.

Why should anyone be offended by what he said

what he said is the TRUTH
from his own experience

I'm an igbo man
yes

but I can't be offended by what he said

No rational person should

that is one of our problems in this country
