2m is just 6,000 dollars. If you think that's rich, rethink

Well...

Most Nigerians don't have N2m to their name so......

We should have our own metric on what is considered rich, upper middle class, middle class etc

other countries have their own stats

Like 5m $ upwards is rich in America


$500k is middle class etc

we should have our own stats

theoldpretender:
Are you ready to pay the taxes we need to maintain a DNA database?

Are you ready to pay the amount of money needed in bills so that we can have the light to maintain that database?

Are you ready to vote for non corrupt people, not the same old APC/PDP show that we have?

good questions

but really, we need this database

Mutendiwashe:
are people not living in one rooms in Nigeria?

Most urban dwellers in Nigeria live in those "one rooms' and "shacks"

stevewale:
It’s because Nigeria is a failed state and they (US govt) know majority of those applying want to get out of it

exactly

abdulaz:
No be lie. Na only sharp, smart and wise people fit survive for Nigeria for now. Na survival of the fittest.

If you dull or lose-guard, boys go chaw you.

Nigeria is a graphical representation of a food chain, we feed on each other irrespective of your level.

true that tho

eating on each other

fatima04:
You saying the *only* place makes the ignorant case itself. All the best in your mansion.

Mansion with noisy generator, borehole that he does not know whether the water underground is polluted, with high fences because of the insecurity, and if you stay in lekki, you battle with flood from time to time.

Burglary proof everywhere like you are a prisoner and the most dangerous part, surrounded by so much abject poverty in the larger circle

When you live in that bubble, the haves not resent you and you become a target eventually (kidnappings, robbery etc)

Even otedola's daughter said it all in that docunrntsyy
"Lagos to London" on how difficult it is for her to be in Lagos; with restricted movement, bullet proof cars, etc as opposed to London where she is free to roam about.

you can check out the documentary on YouTube

And this is the daughter of one of the richest men in Africa talking LMAO


And a deluded soul is still trying to sell "bad market" to us

timesup234:
Job is available to every single Nigerian. Just the same way you wont do road side shoemaker thats how Americans sees working in Mcdonald's. Why didnt you work as a conductor or fast food gateman when you were in Nigeria? A slave from Africa will jump at anything to please his slave masters

Job is available for every single Nigerian? ?

I feel like slapping this mofo

dasparrow:
So because someone is stating the obvious you accuse them of being anti-american? The article on market watch, was that also written by a Nigerian?

Look, even Americans know america has problems and acknowledge that. Then comes you a Nigerian who now wants to defend America more than the indigenous Americans themselves. When last did you defend your country Nigeria?

We live in an age of technology. Nothing is hidden under the sun. In America, without credit cards, most Americans will be living a hellish life. Debt is the way of life in America. I lived in the US for so many years so I know.

No country is perfect and only ignorant people will believe you Nigerians who try to paint a false picture of America. I wonder what you stand to gain doing that. Maybe so that your citizens back in Nigeria will worship the ground you walk on when you come home to visit once a year for Christmas.

more like it

America has serious problems


Nigeria on the other hand have apocalyptic problems that could destroy the country in 10 years if not tackled....

Since I came back, I have seen more and more how our country has slipped in the abyss of becoming a failed state.

And to think that Buhari still stands a chance of winning a second term means that Nigerians love to suffer


What a COUNTRY

timesup234:
You are still living in the lies of the American dream. over 62% of Americans are one paycheck away from living on the street. If Americans wages are delayed for just a week more than 62% of her citizens will be lying on every street corner. In a country where over 70% of her citizens can't boast of $500 in an emergency and over 50% will die in debt, we need to start telling ourselves the truth

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/most-americans-are-one-paycheck-away-from-the-street-2015-01-07

Just so you know, your $hithole country in a $hithole continent has MOST people in the rat race


If most Nigerians (especially in the informal sector) stay out of the hustle for just two days, they are in big shit

That's why you see so many suffering and smiling; hustling from Monday to Sunday, no break, because if they do break; they will be in big shit?


How about the suffering salary earners in Nigeria having theur salary and earning power reduced by over 100 % due to crippling inflation and naira devaluation......

Naira slipping from 150 -160 to 400 + now 365 has eroded the purchasing power of your $hithole currency


I can go on and on, but hey, we know the truth

America is having inequality problems


Nigeria on the other hand is an economic disaster

timesup234:
The smell of urine is also all over time square in New York. It is a shame most Nigerians think America is heaven when in reality it is a trillion miles far from it

well America is FAR ahead of Nigeria so what's your point?

There may be scandalous poverty /inequality in the U.S.; but in every metric, Nigeria is worse

it's clear for all to see

cj4humanity:
It's very hard to get a useful advice from Nairaland, My dear just look for a Nigerian lawyer there and explain your your story to the lawyer - leave your problems to a PROFESSIONAL pls!

This is good advice

Minjim:
What's wrong with trying

Donald Duke
Sowore
Mogbalu
Oluwole Hasim
Ezekwezili
Durotoye

Why must we try Pdp and Atiku AGAIN?

if these clowns collapsed their parties into one and chosen one popular young candidate from north and South to fill the two offices and they all give the chosen ones support, they would have run PDP and APC out of the annals of history


But they decided to be stupid and selfish, and they are all running like small fries that they are.

There is strength in coming together

But they don't have sense

Gratefulheart01:
If this wack frog voice can blow like this in Naija; Then, I can blow more. I always know Naija will lick my ass too somebody. Any wack can blow in Naija and sheeple will lick his/her ass.
Nigerians are servile and easy to manipulate. You people must lick my asss too, soon.

If you can all lick the ass of an untalented frog voice. You will also lick my asss someday.
It's a crime not to blow in naija, you don't need any talent, just manipulate the sheeple.

Welcome to naija where, wacks are their celebrities, leaders, rulers and the sheeple obediently worship and lick the ass of their wack slave masters.

If sheeple no lick my asss for this country, wetin I gain?

what is this one saying

djon78:
You can say that again!! There speed is alarming I admire there can do spirit

The spirit is good for devt
I wish we had it

Viking007:
The gods revealed that to you. What you just wrote is the gospel truth.

yea yea

leonard002:
Except you earn six or seven figures, salary is slavery. Sing it to yourself everyday and one day you'll be motivated enough to do something about your finances

you have a point tho

but six figures like 100k in Lagos or Abuja is Nothing

djon78:
The middle Eastern Nations are doing well
There is what you call competitive advantage in mapping out any Nations agenda

The Chinese are low cost manufacturing
The Germans hi technology
The Americans IT, global finance
The Arabs are leveraging on there oil wealth to diversify into services industry, tourism and investment. And they are doing well


Nigeria has fertile farmlands,
natural resources,
a huge population of human resources
Take for example electricity alone will improve productivity by 50percent. But the evil governments don't want that.
The gasses we flare in Niger Delta can light up the entire Africa. But they don't want to do that.
That's why we must effect real change

I see

djon78:
Don't mind them
They will open there mouth and be insulting China
The Chinese have been able to lift over 600milliin people of there Nation
From abject poverty
To middle class
A childhood friend of mine
That lives in the US recently went to China
He was shocked
China has better world class infrastructure than US
They have bullet train connecting the whole of China
US doesn't have it
You think Trump is not scared of them

Dubai Airport and Singapore's Changi Airport are miles ahead of JFK in New York in global standard. I have flown through them

That's the kind of mindset that Nigerians should have, like all these Nations
Not running away as 4th class citizen to Nations we have the potential to get better than

China has sharper infrastructure than The USA, that's true

They have done so well for themselves but are not exactly there yet.

I saw their new plan for 2025 and if uts implementation is right, it will push them further ahead.....


But the USA is still on a class of its own nonetheless, even tho many will not like to admit it

The technology, wealth , R and D and military might still sets them apart

djon78:
Nigerian's problem is leadership
And Nothing else


We have fertile farmlands
We have natural resources
We have human resources
The problem is irresponsible leadership
Of over 5 decades

Countries like Singapore, UAE, Qatar, even Saudi Arabia are living better than most of these Western countries
How many of there citizens are rushing like refugees as Nigerians

I am a well traveled man and I can tell you there is nothing special about the west.
That is the mindset I want our people to have
I have entered full time politics
And by God's grace in no distant time
Me and my crew will possess power
To start introducing mind blowing kind of development in our Nation
So my own children will have a better Nation
And don't tell me it is impossible
We are already in line

Not running away to become 4th class citizen

The Problem of Nigeria is it's people

Simple and short


Nigerians are amongst the most wicked people in the world, and I'm a well travelled man myself, living and interacting with different set of Africans

Our destructive competitive tendencies, selfishness, neck deep nepotism amongst others are a few of many problems in your $hithole country


Innovation comes from the West, mostly; and that has kept them ahead of the rest of the world


Being an extractive country collecting royalties from resources beneath your feet in not a sign of a developed country

It's the innovation and value addition

And that is where China, Japan and South Korea are getting it right, and the middle eastern countries are getting it wrong (with the exception of Qatar)

greyham:
If you could not be useful in Nigeria it will be very hard to apply yourself outside this country.

Unrealistic expectations are what kills a lot of Nigerian immigrants

Were they expecting to get into the corporate world in a bamh after working in a $hithole country?



Look at this this way,
here in Nigeria, assuming you are a recruiter and you get a Burundi kid with a certificate from university of bujumbura and says he has experience in this or that

will you hire such person

I can bet you don't even know where bujumbura is

Xisnin:
There is no point debating you since you lack comprehension skills.
When I mentioned slave, I am not talking about slave trade but the legal slavery that Nigerians
willfully enter into in the gulf states, where they are dehumanised because they want to make money.

Libya is a country of 6 million and there is nothing special about it being a welfare state.
In fact, all Arab countries with oil and a small population are welfare states with most of their citizens
unemployed.

Your post makes sense for a people who have been mired in abject poverty, they think Libya is a
paradise because the government is bribing its jobless citizens. But any clear-headed person understand
what true development means.

exactly what I have been saying


A country that does not do value addition is not a country worth emulating

wristbangle:
, I remember how you insulted Ibadan as the capital of brown roof republic in the world. Thank God Internet never forgets.

Are you more SW than we? Please face Anambra and leave us alone. Stop interfering on issues that doesn't concern you.

I dare you to quote me, so I can reveal your bigotry comments on SW region.

some of your people are at the forefront of wanting to give a known failure a second term in Aso rock

For people who claim to be sophisticated, it's a discrepancy

Anyways, one man one vote, and may whoever pulls the highest vote win

That's all in gonna say...

obingo25:

sick sick country

SocialJustice:
Emotion filled response. Have you asked yourself the type of people that will vacation here? The connections that can be made here? Besides you're currently not in the targeted market of this hotel, when you make it there if at all you do, then you can honestly say it is a waste of money or not.

no mind all these people blabbing here

Corrinthians:
Both.

The ear will go to Sudan and the rest of the body to Daura.

#PDP Logic!

By the way, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to our lovely incoming First Family, 2023!

you know that will not be the case right?

Osinbajo last bus stop is VP

He does not have the clout to win a national election


And if this, is the reasin why some deluded fellows are supporting the current dullard killing our country with bad policies, then many of them will br disappointed

djon78:
Don't mind them
Very horrible weather

Here we have excellent weather
Very Fertile farmlands
Natural resources
A huge population that can create excellent economy
Only bad leadership is our bane
And the West will never want us to have one



Don't mind some of these boys doing menial job in the West coning here to make noise

Africa will remain a $hithole for decades to come because YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE THE INTELLECTUAL STRENGTH IN GOOD NUMBERS TO MAKE A CHANGE


Most Africans are myopic, stupid, slaves to barbaric traditional practices, slaves to tribal loyalty and worship for his oppressors


How can a place with this disaster as people move forward? ?


During elections it's these niconpoops that will sell their vote for a pittance, or vote based on religious or tribal lines alone "-\


It's these same fvckin niconpoops that will burn "thieves" on the street; and at the same time hail and shout the praises of wicked politicians WHOM they know has robbed them blind, and even defend them when they fall into the hot water of the law.

If that criminal Jagaban as they call that fool is tried and probably jailed, there will be mass protests that they should leave their son


If GEJ and Wife get caught in their tracks, militants will be threatening fire

Innoson got into a fist fight with GTBank, instead of us to leave them to sort themselves, idiot Africans took sides and were hurling tribal slurs at each other
we all saw it in this forum.

they did not want to know who is innocent or guilty, but since the party is in their side (tribally) they must br right


You Africans don't know the depth of foolishness you swim in, and its too bad

The west don't need to do anything, Africans themselves have set themselves on the path to self destruction


And unless a group of enlightened Africans seize power in majority of African countries, suspend democracy and FORCE the people into conforming to development and building a developed society, Africa will continue to wallow and swim in the murky waters of sweet foolishness

djon78:
My friend you talk like gutter Air your views with decorum Don't be a tout

Gadaffi was a pig and I would say that again
putting him in the same bracket with those men is an insult to them
