Short sightedness is rife amongst the masses

Newpride:
Nigerians are getting richer, it’s only that a lot think money will fall from the firmament when buhari wins but unfortunately it won’t .

If a woman in my life environment who complains of hardship every seconds can squandered #1.2m on her 34 year old daughter to get a Turkish working visa.

Turkey of all countries

Na wa

otokx:
Most students think the campus is some form of ideal environment and so move about carelessly, easily distracted.

When moving in Nigeria especially at night move in groups. Also move with the barest of items, no phones, no keys, the barest money.

Making calls while strolling after 7pm is an invitation to the thieves.

Sad reality of living in Nigeria

Living in fear.

BlowJobs:
What if you got really popular/Famous in the future (and maybe become an American politician) and people started digging your past to find out you did arrangee marriage?

just think about that for a minute.

You have a point there

But Nigerian youth no care

To them the ends justify the means

Guy you are cracking me up.

Stop it

Nebuchadnezar:
Gej really tried God bless Gej the best president since democracy

Renaming of Unilag was a wrong move.
GEJ is gone, let's look to the future

Nice one

AngelicBeing:
l am Buhari, vote for me in 2019 and I will bring the desired change you desire, I am fighting kwarraption at the moment and I will soon jail Obasanjo, Babangida. Jonathan, Shagari, Shonekan, Abdulsalami and all there deputies, I will recover every loot and make Nigeria the best country in the world, Donald Trump will beg me to come and fix the US

Nigeria that will not even make it out of their group stage

Pessimist

Willie2015:
Nigeria business environment is volatile and very hostile.

Check out the billions placed in Treasury Bills by financial institutions, corporate bodies and retail investors, no one is willing to risk mpney in the name of any business.

na wa.

But Nigerians dont like to pay debt that they owe.

Tunmise100:
From my perspective, it is simply different strokes for different folks. In the USA, thanks to TRUMP you now get more from your pay check aside tax. if one has the opportunity i would simply advice yiu leave. You dont have to go to france, japan or switzerland when you can explore CANADA. Nigeria is simply good for investment that is if you are financially buoyant.
Life in the USA cant be compared to this FORSAKEN country. They keep shouting CHANGE and i am yet to see any CHANGE.

yea

its a good investment playground but that"s it.

Quality of life na zero

MrBrownJay1:
basic necessities is a different ball game altogether. different countries, different rules... but let us not try to make it seem like Nigeria is hell and abroad is paradise (when it comes to running a business). i fully understand that a great deal of people living in Nigeria will always believe that "any" country is better than Nigeria, but the fact that MANY people living in the west gladly willingly come back home (or that well off people dont want to live Nigeria) should tell you much about this issue.



why do you think INTELLIGENT people all over the world willfully go back to Nigeria, if we all believe it was hell?! this is "your" opinion, and you are entitled to it, but i am just giving people mine. the majority of people in the west pay taxes NOT because they want to but because if they dont, they are sent to JAIL (ask Wesley Snipes)...

let me say it again, so we dont go off topic: when it comes to having to pay through your teeth to run a biz, the west aint better than Nigeria. on one hand you have to pay HEAVY taxes, on the other you have to pay HEAVY bribes. same con, different land



yes, life in Nigeria is NOT easy for the majority but does that make Nigeria a BAD place?!? are you claiming that all nigerians are miserable?! the way you feel about arriving at the airport in Lagos, is the same way i feel everytime i go to Paris (home)... and let me not even start about what i think about the misery/stress i see in the faces of people in grey/rainy London.

again, on paper, many of these places look/sound perfect, but the minute you actually LIVE there, its a different ball game... and as much as you will have running water, constant electricity and free healthcare/education (for most), there will come a time when such necessities, wont matter to you any longer, and your priorities will upgrade.

true story: i have a 2 cousins who moved from Nigeria to the UK in 98 as teenagers, 20yrs down the line, one loves it while the other one hates the UK and would gladly go back to live in Nigeria if he financially could.

It's alright

Priorities upgrade true, but so far, I have not seen any of my relatives who are keen on coming back to the $hithole, despite spending decades abroad, and of course, most of them are doing well.


Nigeria in our case is not just worth it, and even though we still have investments back there, to actually live there, raise kids etc is a no no for me.


On the positive side tho, Nigeria gives a very high ROI, be it real estate or portfolio investments, which is a good thing, and what I exploit, (I believe you do same)

Apart from that, Nigeria n'est pas pour moi et ma famille. Beaucouo des choses sont déranger là malheureusement, et je pense pas que ça peut changer tôt

oshe11:
Even bible said the Only reason a Man is allowed to Divorce his Wife is when she Cheats.....


So You can forgive her but NEVER TAKE HER BACK.......


Let her Leave with her UNFAITHFUL PUSSEE

I hope you know that passage is two ways

A man who cheats too should be dumped according to you


Well what I believe is that the decision is left to the person in question


If you can forgive, do so, if you can't, you take a walk, and this is applicable whether you are a man or a woman.

It's funny how while some others are planning to "go home" I am disconnecting myself gradually from Nigeria


Very interesting I tell you

As much as Nigeria is my country of origin, I don't really feel at home here, probably due to the prevailing mentality and how the country is run


But it's fine

To each his own

At the end of the day, it's happiness and fulfilment we are all looking for, wfich in my case, I cannot find in the shithole.

claremont:
He is right, you know. It seems you are new in the travel section of Nairaland. Mr BrownJay is a well-known globetrotter here, he carries an EU passport. He has been a regular contributor in this section for years. You really need to go through his previous posts before displaying your ignorance.

This is true


However saying western countries are not better than Nigeria is laughable


Maybe to him because he has built a cash buffer for himself, but For the vast majority, Nigeria is HELL!

Whenever I'm in Nigeria, inside the taxi from the airport going home, you will see the frustration and anger in the land, and the helplessness

Hunger has multiplied and begging has tripled.

I get approached by someone EVERYDAY to beg.


It's a very terrible country I tell you.
A terrible and souless country

MrBrownJay1:
sadly, as much as many countries in the best are well packaged, they are NO BETTER than Nigeria

What did you say

BlowJobs:
Thank you bro. She no let me rest now talking about how the baby will look like.

She's not even considering giving birth in Canada like i suggested.

giving birth to your child in Canada could deny that child the right to run for the office of the president

But then since the child's mum is a natural born US citizen, that may be a waiver. just saying

The Canada thing may not be necessary tho, just my opinion.

Bonne Chance mon Frère, et félicitations

The same way our leaders kill each other for not been on d same page is d same way our youths kill each other on socail medias.
It is well with the youth of Nigeria and God bless Nigeria

true

Lexusgs430:
If our politicians replicated the lifestyles abroad, in their respective local environments. Mass migration would not be the only means to fulfil life offerings.....

And because our politicians have failed in providing the very basics, for its entire citizenry. Our cousins in the abroad know that when you go visiting our richer cousins, we would never want to return home........ Hence the visa restrictions (and we also have General Gowon to thank). During his rule, he mandated the British government impose visa restrictions on Nigerians........

Can you imagine

markdonpuzo:
Mumu blogger doesn't even know Shatta Wale has a high stake in Ghana meets Nigeria concert where WizKid performed. He decides who performs and has been hosting the last two editions.

In short na Shatta Wale get am.

As for their beef, there was never any beef. And YES Shatta Wale is a better dancehall artist than WizKid. WizKid isn't even a dancehall artist...Hommie be mixing Genre.

And Shatta Wale's influence and contribution to Dancehall is unrivaled in Africa. His influence cuts across all Carribbean countries where dancehall Is a delight.

Lastly his Net Worth is probably twice of WizKid. Though admittedly WizKid has a larger fanbase in Africa.

Did you say Scatter Werey have twice the net worth of wizkid

Trump is the man, all men/presidents sohould respect including that sissy Obama

Being a diplomat is not being a sissy

tolexy007:

LMAO

But if this deal sails through, Donald Trump will have my respect

Mcy56:
Oga, you are talking about someone who is already in the system. On online platform, one can even buy 1unit of 20k share (in error anyway), I used to see lots of 1unit purchase on itrade but for a starter, I don't think it's possible. I stand to be corrected anyway.

Yes indeed, in error

I bought that thing in error and it remains in my portfolio till date as a reminder

Yian1:
And both of you don't even have a toy car.

Enjoy yourself o jare fine girl

Zane2point4:
I dont even watch CNN, I stick to fox.
Why is there massive defection with evidence?
Why didnt Kim go on with the nukes?
Why did Kim who haven't left nk in 6yrs travel to meet triumph on the negotiation table?

Even if you hate triump or USA use common logic.

America controls almost 70 percent of the world trade, if you have traveled out you will find out you cant even buy anything without first converting to dollar and to the local currency,
Do you know the effects of economic sanctions?
No one buys and sells to you, unless your staunch allies.

just so you know, Fox is a biased media outfit too

aaronson:
ICC only gets proactive when only Africa leaders commits crime against humanity but for other world leaders, they turn a blind eye.

African leaders commit heinous crimes against humanity AGAINST their own people

Time and time again, African leaders have proven that they don't mind killing a whole village to remain in power, that is why they need to be put in check

hunter21:
please is it possible to buy stocks of 2,000 naira

you can even buy of N50; D


I once bought a stock in error while using the online platform, there was a glitch and all, then I got a mail from my stock broker that the deal sailed through

That one unit is with me till date

So if that's possible, 2k is of course possible


Except you already know this, but want to troll us here

Mboi2:
Hey, shut your dirty mouth here. You're claiming You're a graduate but common spellings, common simple correct sentence you can't make. Nwanne nwelu nwayo there, you can't feed yourself guy.. Go and learn how to speak English first before you talk in a public forum like this. You're disgracing us.
Like the other guy said, you people believe you must cheat, kill or exploit before you become successful in life. Is that what you learnt from your family or from your Oko Poly you attended?
You're here saying "nwanne I can feed you" ichee no umu nkanka ogwu ego a ndi onitsha n'agwogheli. Once they build house in 33, e don finish. Guy gbalu ogwu gi o..

Is it possible for someone to love a child and hate his mother?

Very possible

givan:
He's not a weakling. Anyone can suffer from depression both 'strong' and 'weak'

In April, Dwayne Johnson, otherwise known as 'The Rock' shared his personal battle with depression in an interview, revealing that he was “crying constantly” at one point.

https://variety.com/2018/film/news/dwayne-johnson-depression-rampage-1202741733/

To some, DeWayne Johnson is an example of both 'strong' and 'successful' yet he was pulled down the path of depression helplessly.

Nigerians ignore the cause of some major problem like, drug abuse and rising suicide rate associated with depression. They would rather shame those who suffer from the spiral effect of depression terming them 'weak' and 'lazy'.

Depression is a menace that could rescind our economic growth, increase rate of violent crime and make our society unsafe for those that isn't even suffering from it.

The government should do more to tackle this rising monster before it goes fully bloom. Health and religious institutions should step up to help.

You got that right


Depression can happen to Any one

Honesty should be practised without the expectations of a reward.
Tgars true honesty
But the NIGERIAN society today does not promote that at all
