Giovanotto:
Our black mentality is really something else.... Come to Europe here, a man would drive in a Maserati ghibli and would be the first to greet me. Me small boy wey even dey manage my small 4MATIC A180. Respect doesn't add to, nor reduce your personality.

You are right

SadMemories:
suprising. i thought it's against igbo culture to do that. this gives a more clearer picture of what money can do.

he is not Igbo

And Duncan is rich as fvck

emelda86:
Una just want make person dey regret for this Nigeria,,, e go better na poor man prayer

As for me ooo...I go comot for this dead country

There is no life really there

Spending years out of it will prove that



Its just a place to make excess money (especially if you are dubious and fraudulent)

that's just it

But Naija go better one day

awelekiti:
that's not true. I've been carrying Nigerian passport majestically and proudly since 2004. Amazingly, I travelled for the first time to US on a Virgin passport unassisted in my late 20s. I've displayed it in various border posts like US,UK,Germany,Switzerland,France,Holland and the remaining north American countries. Even though I had the opportunity to apply for foreign passport, I declined to do so. I believe in Nigeria. Nigeria has made me and I'm already giving back. You can imagine a US government inviting you for a meeting , being the only one to be so invited in the whole of Nigeria. How many foreign passport holders had such a rare opportunity to have an evening with the US President? I was in Germany recently and on getting to the immigration Officer at the departure post, I presented my passport for stamping and he said wow, so you're from Nigeria. Which part are you from and I said Ekiti state but I live and work in Lagos. He said he loves Lagos as he's been there a couple of times and the gist started. He was so much engrossed with the gist that he forgot many people on the queue. The way you see Nigeria is what becomes of you but many have failed to realise this. Your being born in Nigeria isn't by default. God knows. Ask God to unleash your potentials so you could thrive and fulfill the purpose for which you were born here.

how do you feel when you have to apply for visas ALL THE TIME for most countries of the world?

That passport is a disadvantage and you know it!

You may be held in high esteem (maybe because of your personality) but the passport is still USELESS

Passport that cannot guarantee you free movement to at leadt 30% of the countries of the world is not worth it


it pains my heart to say it, but its true

Ijaya123:
It is pretty obvious you do not have one. People that talk like this are the useless ones. Same passport millions of well-meaning Nigerians have been using...

The stress that passport has caused me is enough for me to hate it.

What's worse?
Nigeria has the diplomatic clout to make it better I.e. negotiate more bilateral deals with other countries and all.

Now because of that useless passport, I cannot travel to a lot of destinations at the drop of the hat (like my other friends can)
you will have to start applying for visa upon visa

even to most African countries


it's terrible

Qc1:
All the passports listed in this top 10 need a visa to enter Nigeria ( I think with the exception of Luxembourg).

Yes, that's a fact! Nigeria remain one of the toughest country to visit without a visa. You have to be from ECOWAS countries and some Arab countries to visit without a Visa.

that's true

But it's nothing to be proud of anyways

As long as multitudes of Nigerians are crossing the Sahara to Europe

Nigeria will get no respect whatsoever

If we like close border

Runaway:
As for Nigeria, if u hold any of the 207 passports, u can travel to Nigeria without Visa.

not true

deepsuk:
on behalf of all the people who were scammed by sold out gurus and analysts in this forum - god punish you and your generation. your mama dey born snake.

Sannisege:
Silly comparison from pained IPOBs. Comparing Project finance by a state within a country to that financed by a national government. At least Lagos has started something. What have Eastern states started apart from baby factories. Nonsense.

What is wrong with this one

What concerns Igbos /IPOB/SE with the matter on ground here? ??

Common sense you have not

Mizwisdom:
Excuse me sir, did you travel around Nigeria during your visit, how long did you stay and can you kindly tell us what you saw sir?


Need books? contact me on orderbooksng@gmail.com

spent most of my time in Lagos

It was TOO bad

In the east (where my ancestry is) things were not rosy either.

Pojomojo:
If you stay in a Big City Close from work at 6pm Traffic keeps you out till 8pm Before you do 1,2,3 things 11pm To get to work at 6am You would need to be out at 4:30
The mental stress is worth more than 100k.

it's a very terrible system
Parents no longer have time for kids anymore
The transport system is bad and disorganised
And the stress and mental madness is too much
Especially in Lagos

Grupo:
Most naija rich folks lack business acumen. All of them just rush into real estate because you don't even have to think or worry about running a business as a real estate investor. Nobody wants to think about an innovative business idea that will employ people on a long term basis. They simply want to develop an estate and start collecting rent.

The Nigerian economy is not stable enough for "innovative business ideas"

That's the truth

Many Returnee Nigerians have been ruined financially because of trying to be "innovative"

That's why many decide to play safe.

Especially in a country where access to credit is abysmal

When using your life savings to invest, you think twice

That's just the way it is

seedord247:
I know some folks in detention over 2 years now. They always fight with ICE whenever they try to deport them...

Wait is Nigeria that bad?

Very bad


I visited recently, and what I saw was too too bad

Nigeria has one of the BEST national anthems ever
that's the truth

theamerican:
Here to share another experience. So, after doing strong head for months, I finally got an iPhone X from a guy who badly needed the money. Good deal for $400.

I was home fumbling with the phone o. Trying to fit it into a case. Before I hear anything, the buttons were pressed together, phone entered power mode/call sos, kia kia, it was dialing 911. I panicked and ended the call after one ring.

3 seconds later, I got a call lol. I was not gonna answer but my friend told me if I didn’t, they would assume I was in trouble, couldn’t speak, trace my location, and send cops to come and save me from whatever the issue is.

I hurriedly answered the call lol. “Hello, this is the Dallas police department, we just got a call from this number”. I told them it was a mistake, that I just got a new phone and the phone dialed 911, etc. They said ok, laughed, said goodbye and hung up.

Taxpayers’ money works. If I was genuinely in trouble, they would have arrived on time to save my big black ass. �����

What a $hithole country will NEVER give you

opejole:
I will like to meet anyone that's in Mali here that can provide me with some info

depends on what you want to do there


There are not many tourist sites there, and most od them are outside Bamako

You may have to take long journeys to Dogon and Timbuktu


But such things gave me memories


But if you are going there to hustle, forget it.

Poverty in Mali is SERIOUS

kenevision:
Bros na the food be that ooo . Believe me, you will love their dishes when you get used to them. And one thing I noticed is that you will hardly visit the toilet when you are on Austrian diet. Even when you do, na small thing go drop. Your body needs every thing you eat - talk about balanced diet.

Lol

kenevision:
You are very right sir.

And even more unfortunate is the fact that the rich also cry in this country. Your wealth may not protect you when the herdsmen come calling. SARS will carry you and carry your wealth. The judicial system will deny you justice and damn the consequence.

If only our challenges in this nation were of an economic nature, then "making it" in Nigeria would have been a sweet song of victory. But even when you make it here, you still have to confront the political challenges, security issues and other maladies that pervades our dear nation, with no end in sight.

Whenever I get the opportunity to relocate abroad, I will grab it with both hands. Not because I cannot make it in Nigeria, but because I want to give a better start for my children and generations yet unborn, while enjoying the rest of my days in peace, safety and good health.

exactly


not to talk of the multitudes that are out to bring you down

the have not hate the haves SO MUCH in Nigeria (it's evident even on nairaland)

And will ruin you if they can

HoluwarTohbar:
Zombies be comparing buhari and Trump.

Apples and oranges are incomparable.

Can you compare also the age of their ideas?
Nonsense!

Don't mind them

Trump tho controversial, has his agenda and he is working towards it.

He has his successes and failyrea, just like presidents before him


Buhari on the other hand is bereft of ideas, and cannot govern

His government has failed woefully

A thought provoking poem indeed

Oreofepeters:
I don't know why I like white girls. Clean fresh Yansh no stretch marks here and there, top with nice pvssy.




Unlike all these girls with black yansh, black dity pvssy still dey form upandan.





I must bleep white ass someday, maybe when I travel.

who told you white girls no get stretch marks

ChidiAlaigbo:
And my stupid inlaws are asking me to born another CHILD?

No, I will not add one more half animal to the human race.

Something is inherently WRONG with black people.

More than half of the 180m people cannot eat .....yet this is what legislators are busy doing?

yea yea

black folks dey Bleep up

KenModi:
See the way tou are defending Saraki; hope he pays you handsomely for you efforts??

I have said it before and wld continue to say it, the problem of Nigeria isnt the politicians, it is the Nigerian youths who have no brains to know that the politicians they keep defending day and night, on and offline do not care about them.

My people suffer for lack fo knowledge

on this same thread, uselezs people are also defending the shenanigans of the APC and they'd illiterate chairman

That are ready to tear up the constitution to achieve their aims

Shame on them

ariesbull:
Stupid country ...I hate this country so much I am ashamed to be from this country

No water
No job
No road
No hospital
No good education

You guys are talking how to impeach one man


Una get sense at all

Tufia

I tell you


I always ask God why he brought me to this useless country, with majority brain dead and useless citizens

Anyways, I have corrected it.

my descendants will have nothing to do with that useless country

See people arguing saraki with all energy

How can Nigeria progress when they choose people raised with such mentality to lead them?

The most intelligent Yoruba or Igbo man with advance degrees will bow and suck up to someone with minimal education from the North. They dare not engage them in any kind of intellectual exercise. Then someone had the effrontery to say that Nigeria is not cursed.

/

A big shame!

But an average tribalist Yoruba will rather give the worst candidate From the north his vote than an overqualified Igbo guy.

Shame

It the same for the Igbo tribalist.


So with that scenerio aboki will remain in charge

awelekiti:
Now you're just waking from your slumber . Boko Haram would even make the region even 50 years backward more. When our forefathers were an advocate of free education, spending their energy and penny to ensure our parents enjoyed free education, you guys said education cannot be free, focussing only on Islamic education as if there were no Muslims in the southern Nigeria or other parts of the world who enjoyed and combined western education with Islamic education. The current king of Saudi Arabia schooled in the west yet, my brothers and sisters in the north were brainwashed by their smart leaders who succeeded in educating only their children in places like USA and UK. If I were a northern youth.....I won't say what I'd have done to the northern leaders who are still around. They caused their generation a perpetual misfortune they've found themselves in.

yea true

but I think the real tag should be "formal education" not "western education"


Formal education is the key mehn
