thats what we Nigerians don’t want to understand , because those countries don’t paint their countries black doesn’t mean they are all living well, the media is ruining African countries especially bbc and CNN... I pray we understand soon and act together to make our country great.

America is dealing with racism and they are fighting against it.

Donald Trump gets a backlash for racist comments, the NFL owner was disgraced due to that too


And besides?, every one has biases, so it's okay not to like me because I'm black, it's fine

What is not okay is denying someone a job because he is black or shooting him bevsuse he is black, which will not be swept under the carpet

Yes America has its issues, every county does


But for an oil producing rich country, Nigeria is a shame and a scum to this planet


only the millennial have a slim chance of saving the country
the older generation bleeped it up

MrBrownJay1:
oh shiit, another one!!!!



do you know how long Madof has been scamming people, before he was sent under the bus?! let me help you, he started in the 70s.... yep,
way more than 30years! go figure that one out.



many famous OR rich people kill people and get away with a slap on the wrist, while common people go to jail for life....educate yourself on the issue, or better yet, let me help you:
[b]- Ethan couch, rick underage kid, steal beers and kill 4 people while driving drunk, get probabtion.
- Ted kennedy (of the famous Kennedy family) drove drunk and killed a woman who was in his car. no jail!
- NFL Star Donte Stallworth drove drunk and killed a man, served 24days in jail.
- Snoop dogg shot a man in the back, and was NEVER acquitted of murder
- OJ simpson killed his wife and never spent a day in jail for that murder
- R Kelly and MJ are well known pedophiles, yet they never spent a day in jail
- Kobe raped that biatch and paid her off. no jail there neither
- actor Robert Blake paid drug addicts to kill his pregnant GF. they testify to that. but he was acquitted and only had to pay a fine/
- Robert H.Richard the 4th...wealthy pedophile, raped his own daughter, found guilty, given only probation
- Vince Neil of the famous bamd Motley Crue drunk drove and killed a person while seriously injured another one. served 3 weeks in jail.
- Vince Alexander, former ceo of Converse shoes, swindled $140M out of investors and simply moved to Namibia. never spent a day in jail
- Reginald Vanderbilt (of the Vanderbilt family) killed 2 people while recklessly driving and injured dozens of other, many times over, never spent a day in jail
- judge Alcee Hastings was caught accepting a bribe, but because he sent a friend to get the money, he never spent a day in jail.[/b]



a good lawyer can help you pay less tax very easily.... lets be real here....and with all the financial montage inplace, many dont pay what they should.



if you are rich enough in the US, its the same thing



see my above list in bold for confirmation that worse happen in the west, and if you are rich/famous enough, you wont spend a day in jail!

All you wrote up there will not change what we know, but we are deceiving ourselves

This rich in Nigeria get FAR more slack than the rich anywhere else.


A terrorist KABiRU SOKOTO was found in the house of a high ranking senator, a known terrorist who escaped from custody, guess what, that motherfucker is in the Senate and I a free man till date


Your president got into power with a fake certificate, he is still president

You have known criminals moving freely both in the political and business space , yet nothing happens

Oil bunkerers move freely and are enjoying themselves

The scam pulled in the NSE in 2008/09, who and who was prosecuted for it?

The big men, like Jimoh and nduka who owe salaries at will and tell you to your face that you can do nothing about it, what do you have to say about it?

The big men who can import whatever and bribe their way through without repercussion what about that?

And so much more.

You know thr truth, but your silly patriotism is blinding you to it.


THE NIGERIAN ELITE STAY IN NIGERIA BECAUSE IT IS A LAWLESS SHITHOLE.

Simple


You cannot compare America with tjst cesspit, it's an insult


maybe Liberia, Sierra Leone and Uganda


Nigèria a gaté Cest tout simple comme ça

Nigeria ne peut pas réparer.

Putain comme le Nigéria

vulpeslopez:
so they can harass and oppress u and I.....a 9ja rich men won't have mopol or police orderlies following him around in America like they do in this backward,God forsaken country called NIGERIA where 'everybody is a criminal'

true

Litmus:
The Nigerian young masses need to realise that they have financial and social powers in the form of their support. If Nigerian youths turn thire backs or boycott stars that are in effect abusing them or taking them as fans for granted, Nigerian so-called celebrities will choose more carefully how to express their political concerns. Calling Nigerians insane or rubbishing a young Nation like Nigeria, which only has the potential to worsen things, is not the way to make things better.

There should be a word for this sort of stupid rhetoric's Nigerian celebrities and roadside, know-it-all civilians engage in when discussing Nigeria, something like Blabbermouthism.

She said the truth, and is it the Nigerian youth that is feeling the brunt of the hopeless country he/she was born in that will boycott someone who told the truth and it's being evident in the way the youths are suffering

Oh please

The country is fvcked and the world should know

shameless leaders

vulpeslopez:
why do I feel lik I am quoting a retard?

naaaaa

He is just out of touch

That's all.

He is out of touch with how deep Nigeria have sunk in the abyss

vulpeslopez:
a known drug dealer/fraudster aboard cannot hire police to guy him like they do in 9ja...90percent of our police force are bodyguards to rich nigerians leaving the remaining 10Percent to protect us......that is the difference BTW a sane country and a mad one

Don't mind that guy

It's harder to spend ill gotten wealth in the US for example, because you have to launder the money, and make the paper trail look normal, and also use a business as a front to prove that this is how the money came about, because the authorities are watching you, but it takes one fvck up to get in big trouble


Do we follow paper/audjt trail in Nigeria?

Why won't the morally bankrupt rich want to stay

MrBrownJay1:
rich people do the above ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD...get your facts right!

that's not true

Madoff is in prison for the scam he pulled

Jordan Belford was locked up for the scam he pulled

You can hit your maid and mess them up in that accursed zoo called Nigeria but if you try it elsewhere, and she can prove that you abused her, you are done for

In America a lot id billionaires find loop holes to avoid tax, but the irs is on their tail, and if they fall short, they are in hot soup

You can't compare God's own country to an accursed country


Nigerian rich man will rather remain in Nigeria because what they do there and get away with, they will be bleeped over in the USA.

The Nigerian rich love to live in a lawless society

Is it not Davido that beat up a taxi driver old enough to father him years ago and seized his keys?

What punishment did he get?

they were even appealing to him to return the key, and he was not locked up for even one day

Can he try that in America without repercussions

Lawless fvcked country

You don't have to
What she said is the truth

Toks2008:
Let me not write what is on my mind.
Because if I do...

You don't have to
What she said is the truth

If you pay me $3m to live in Nigeria, I will not
it's just a crazy place to be
Despite all the wealth

MrBrownJay1:
this woman should ask herself this simple question.... WHY ALL THE RICH MEN IN NIGERIA STAY THERE (if it was indeed so bad there)?!

because the rich are above the law in Nigeria

Because the rich can evade taxes in Nigeria

Because the rich can get away with anything in Nigeria

Because the rich can enrich themselves further with rapacious abandon without being checked

You can't try that abroad.

There are many other reasons

hammer6F:
DEAR YORUBAS

PLEASE, STOP ALL THIS TRIBAL NONSENSE.

IT VERY SLEAZY AND OFFENSIVE TO OUR SENSIBILITY.

IGBO AND YORUBA DONT SHARE ANYTHING APART LUGARD LUMPING US TOGETHER IN NIGERIA.

PEOPLE MARRY EVEN CHINESE AND INDIA OR WHITE.

IN NIGERIA, PEOPLE FROM ALL ETHNICITY HAVE INTER-MARRIED, BUT MAJORITY PREFER THEIR OWN ETHNICITY.

STOP USING THIS MEDIUM TO SHOW CASE A FALSE UNION OF YORUBA AND IGBO. (PROPAGANDA)

PLEASE STOP IT ALREADY...

what is this one saying?

Emman93:
Support the disintegration of this contraption called Nigeria and everything will work right for all region .

Disintegration of the country is even worse

Disintegration will not change the wicked hearts of many Nigerians

Disintegration will not change the repugnant mentality that dominates Nigeria

The country is doomed, disintegration or not

ustyne:
Your fears is indirectly fuelled by social media. There are more good marriages than bad ones. Just that Good news doesn't draw traffic, bad news does.

2. You won't understand the need to be married or have kids, until you are 60.

that's a lie

Most marriages are useless

Good marriages exists, but it's not the norm

dasparrow:
I think you are on the right path my friend. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. However, if you live in Nigeria, good luck to you. Nigerians have been mentally conditioned to believe that you can only feel happy and fulfilled with a family of your own even though that is not necessarily true judging by all the miserable married Nigerians I saw back then in Nigeria.

And the Nigerian society is setup in such a way to stigmatize single adults of marriageable age. So, if you choose to live a single life with doggies, Nigeria is not the ideal society or country to live in.

In advanced countries many people live happily with their dogs despite not being married and without kids but in Nigeria....hmmmmm. I don't know. The citizens in the country called Nigeria will frustrate your life.

Start seriously thinking of relocating to an advanced country now if you really don't desire marriage or kids. My 2 cents.

This is good advice @OP

divinelove:
I see a man DT will die of loneliness in old age, u might die and decay in your bed n nobody will know.

You can't afford not to have a wife at old age bc loneliness will kill u. Even those men whose wife is dead or divorced remarry sharply to avert this time bomb DT lies ahead

what makes you think he will be lonely in old age?

Won't he have companions? won't he be busy doing other stuff? travelling the world?

Well sha na African man mentality dey do una


@op Marriage iS overrated

if you change your mind later, good.

but don't think you are missing anything because you are not married

She is right to an extent


Marriage is overrated

but in Nigeria where there are strong cultural and societal influence (which thankfully keeps weakening over the decades) its still much of a big deal.


There are SOOOO MANY frustrated married people out there across ages.

But because of the society, they stop have to put up appearances

Once again, marriage is overrated

baby124:
These donations come with tax breaks...

regardless

It's still generous of them

Very generous

No Nigerian rich man or African rich man

Shame

Their own is to oppress and rub theur wealth in the faces of impoverished people

brownhawk:
She failed to stop at check point and got the next appropriate response. Or what does check point mean and which categories of people is it meant to neutralize.


Flatirons and their waywardness

Your mother is an unfortunate bi.tch for having a nicompoop like you as a child

Pavore9:
How did the SE region creep into the story?

Help me ask him o

Pabodan:
This was posted initially at the Education section, but someone advised I move it here to get advice from experienced folks. So please here I come.....

A sister of mine wrote GRE on Monday, this week, and had a score of 288. She is planning to go for her Masters degree in Microbiology, but she has since been feeling discouraged because of the low score.

Please I would appreciate if you can assist with Universities that can still accept such a score for Masters in the US or Canada, or better still any exams she can still sit for to complement her GRE score. Thanks so much for your assistance.

She may get admission with that result, especially if she finished with a second class upper.

The thing is...

She may not get scholarship with that score, and i bet that is what you are looking for.

MrBrownJay1:
ARRANT NONSENSE!!!!

A) she cant really say the shit she is saying while being abroad and talking to people who cant even afford 3 square meals a day, dreaming of the American dream.

B) HOW DARE she looks down on people's DREAMS?! some people must learn the hard way whatever she is saying....because it is called LIFE! you will never be able to stop people from dreaming to go abroad.

C) instead of being bitter out of life (as obvious as she is), the solution is NOT to stop people from coming abroad, the issue is to let them know to come with A PLAN!

FINALLY: all the BS she said happens ALL OVER THE WORLD, whether in Africa or US/Europe.......instead, she should hang out with better African people. many are going abroad and are law abiding citizen AND making it. saying that all African are jobless and illegal in the west is a joke..... the percentage is not even 30%!

No mind am.

The question she should ask is that what condition will make SO MANY people are fleeing at the same time.

They are not all stupid or crazy
The Nigerian state is fvcked, and money alone cannot solve or cover a lot of things Nigeria will shove in your throat

A47yo:
I listened to this video, and I can't but agree with 100% of what she is trying to say. pls watch and learn.

Anyone who wants to, and can flee Nigeria should better flee!

If not for you, for your descendants


This is not the time to carry shoulder and form i am "middle class Nigerian"

Except you are amongst the political and business elite in Nigeria, your stand is still shaky.

There is nothing wrong in starting small and doing menial stuffs in America for example, while your kids are born in the system and grow up in the system into guidance into the right way to go.

Most successful Americans are second and third generation Americans.

I think Abuja is better than Kampala tho.

For Lagos tho... im not sure

Sirjamo:
Can a Nation with dwindling revenue and weak reserves have a booming economy ? you can never give what you don't have.
If not for Buhari's prudent management, what do you think would have happened when oil prices dropped to it lowest in decades?
Ordinary elementary economics, you can not comprehend, but will be complaining about bad policies, if you are asked to enumerate the bad policies and suggest better ones, you will go numb', even the fake news you read up there says that the recession was due to the fall of oil prices, but of course, objectivity is not in your DNA.

Which prudent management? ??

You better keep quiet there anumamu di ka gi


Fuel price was increased to N145 while still paying subsidy


Policy somersault


may be you should look at the NSE and see what your daft president policies is costing us there

motherfucker like him


Where is the tax holiday that he is supposed to put in place to at least attract investment?

Where is the diversification?

SoNature:
You have painted a very worrisome picture of Nigeria

Na to find way leave this country for una be my plan because tribalism and religion have ruined the country already

SMH

what he painted up there is a possibility

Nigeria is one cursed country that eats the bread meant for its children

While other countries are saving and planning for their future children, we are fooling ourselves in wanton consumerism

What plan does the govt have for future generations?

Okay the govt cannot create jobs, how about making the environment more friendly so that those who can create jobs should create ?


Do start ups enjoy tax holiday at all levels in Nigeria?


This is not time to be patriotic or whatever, think we'll before planning for the long term, so your kids don't ask you painful questions in future


A word is enough

Organism000:
The deplorable road conditions are a different kettle of fish. We must not run away from our country. We must begin aggressive voters education, starting from Nairaland. The Gods can not do for Man, what Man, must do for itself. If at the end, Buhari still wins, it means Nigerians are now addicted to seeing blood, addicted to drugs, addicted to suffering and addicted to hearing sounds of Generators on their heads. As for me, I no longer turn on my generator at night, cos of the noise. So no more AC, I just keep the windows open with nets closed, cos apart from the noise giving me bad dreams, the thought of spending N10,000 per day on diesel for a big house is really making me think that I may not have enough kept for my kids and grand kids after I am gone.

So I now prioritize in order to have good reserve for my bloodline after I am gone.

That is why I tell people who can still flee to flee


The horizon is looking very bleak at the moment


And while African countries elsewhere are putting policies in place to attract investments (Rwanda, Ivory Coast and Kenya comes to mind) the country is fooling itself that it is the giant of Africa hence no need to create such environment

This goes to show that many out there are just retarded
look at how this nice thread has been rubbished

Focusmind:
See how he felt safe and free with the people there. A foreign president for that matter. Can our leaders feel safe and interact with commoners like this. There has to be a connection between the leaders and the people. It is seriously lacking in Nigeria and Africa in general.

how will they feel free with the people?

When they are oppressing and cheating them

mayorjosh:
Some commenters above are showing dumb ignorance and are wondering whether it's impossible to bag 5 degrees in the US

You think every educational system is bleeped up like the Nigerian educational system lol

He must have run two degrees concurrently and twice before bagging the last one which in give or take must have taken him a total of 11 years so better wake up and stop seeing life through the Nigerian eye and believe some things can't work because you haven't seen them do

You can't blame them na

The Nigerian system have messed up their brain seriously

So much so that what happens elsewhere is unfathomable there
