I am not going to quote anyone so it does not look like a direct attack.

Readers, everyone writing here does not have access to the kind of information Aliko Dangote has. I am just laughing that solar panels and electric cars are the future of the world. Well, I may agree. The issue is: when is the future? And when will this present become obsolete? Start thinking. Do you have such info? If this present is becoming obsolete, yet, I know there are still billions dollars in it, wisdom is going say, do it. Why? The present is the bird in hand, while the future are the millions in the jungle. Have you heard the saying: "a bird in hand, worths more than millions in the jungle?

Marketing/branding is good. Readers, all those professors are marketers. If you had read how the US invested billions of dollars in solar energy researches from algea to make bio diesel in those years, you would have thought that diesel from crude is going extinct by now.

Do not get me wrong. Buhari is not too stupid for still searching for oil. Well, they also have access to information we do not. We just keep wondering, why is Dangote the richest? So, the man shouting panels and electric bla bla bla thinks a stupid man can occupy his seat? He is the present 46th most powerful man in the world ahead of Joe Biden, the vice president of the US.

Readers, I am not going to argue with anyone. Maybe you need to read about late apple CEO - Job. He created apple but lost his company. Maybe he was stupid when he lost it. Lol. And maybe he was more and more stupid when he returned to take over apple.

Stop writing on subjects you have no knowledge on thereby showing your stupidity, please.

Information is power. So, let use assume Dangote is stupid. All the many people working with him are also stupid? The one who gave him licence to build oil refinery is stupid too? Ok. BABA ijebu is stupid too to have built huge oil storage system in Ogun State? It was opened by the vice president recently.

When one is stupid, he is stupid. And a stupid fellow cannot understand the ways of the rich man. And so, a stupid man can never get to where a rich man is. Yet, the stupid man will always argue blindly why he thinks the rich man is stupid. Yet, the rich man can feed all his family. Is the stupid man not really "stupidly stupid"?

You do not have access to the kind of money Aliko has. You have no information like he has, yet you are bragging you will do "far more better" than him. A dey laugh. Without money, your idea will die. Premature death.... red card.

You don hear the saying: "Cash is King". You no get money, you dey fumble say you get idea. A dey laugh. You are stupid.

I want to stay where wisdom resides. I want to be a friend of wisdom. If you like go and create solar hyper digital whatever, i will invest only where rich men invest. Or you think it is a professor I will take his opinion? You are joking.

Dangote has his data. He is going to make billions of dollars from what he is doing. His refinery will make him far more richer. Nothing you dey write now will stop him from finishing that refinery.

They said he talked some things about Arsenal. Chai! See stupidity oooooo! When a king speaks, the world keep silent. So, you all think he does not know what he is doing? Whoever thought a Russian can own a british club? But Abrahamovich knows his thing. See, no dey talk when wisdom dey talk. Dangote has said it, at the right time, he will make his move. At the time he spoke, all he did was to show intetest. My view is that he knows that at a point, they may need more cash. Someone among the owners may want to sell out. Dangote was just saying: I am available. He does not want to run after the club. But he has positioned himself for any offer by opening his mouth to say I will buy Arsenal at the right time. Kings do not beg. They command.

And do you think Dangote will stop building more businesses after that refinery? Lol. Instead of you to find ways of hooking to money movers like Dangote and try to convince and make money come your way to build the future you are dreaming, you are criticising a billionaire.

Wisdom tells me not to criticise a billionaire who has been making money for over 2 decades. They said he is enjoying monopoly. Lol. But they do not realise he has been around, and about 5 presidents have come and gone. So, he has been enjoying monopoly from all of them only? Even he does, are there no other people who are lobbying like him? Don't you really think something is special about him?

The Dantatas helped him, but today, he is bigger than them. So, we think Dangote has time to think solar panel this, digital that, when he is having real figures on his desk. Some people are too funny.

Let me borrow you Biblical wisdom. While Abraham ran away because of farmine, his son Isaac stayed in the land. And he made his wealth during farmine. Why? He has his information to certain things. His figures are different from what the so called experts were projecting. Panels ooo, solar ooooo, LED ooooo, "electonicology bombasticology, future-cology" oooooo, all na wash. Listen! Learn from a wealthy man how to make money.

Dangote na baba. He knows how to play his game with the presidents. If you call it monoply, I call it smartness or favor. Lol. So, others have not tried to monopolised too? Why is it that Dangote is the most favored? OBJ, Yaradua, GEJ favored him. Even Buhari is doing same.

Y'all better sit down and learn wisdom.

help me tell them o

Pentools:
All I can say is, virginity is never dignity until it moves into a closet/dark room full of opportunities. I go with what some guy above me said, stating that with the new move in our society you can hardly pinpoint someone that is totally free from crime or haven't contemplated it more than once...

Who knows dude might be speaking out of envy, jealousy or intimidation from those he perceived to be fraudsters or he might have been turned down by them at some point of need hence triggering such speech.

If u do a thorough background check Noble isn't free from crime even so, if he choose to "snitch" he should extend it to politics too, because they are the ones that watered fraud amongst the youth n the masses in general even without realising it.

To be unbiased now, how can you graduate with first class n the job you are fully qualified for is been given to some guy who can't even speak nor construct proper English, but because his father is a polithiefcian you will be sidelined..
Imagine working 9-5 weekdays for a peanut at the end of the month and your neighbours kid that is jobless gallivants the city spending luxuriously from one nation to another without a sweat all in the name of gov money.

It takes the grace of God to shut your mind to all those without reasoning shortcut which is obviously crime.

However no matter how you see it or think it, crime doesn't pay desist from it.

Crime should never be justified no matter the circumstance


Nigerians have just become something else, tolerating and promoting what is wrong

Temple1288:
There's nothing like a 5yr working Visa.. The fact is this--- the Agent ll make u see South Africa, but on a 3month Visa (THREE MONTHS)

You'd be told to bump into the street and hustle like others.. Because of shame of coming back and probably because you want to make it big, you'll join drugs, scamgang and possibly robbery gang..

When I visited South Africa (Soweto) met many stranded guys from Cameroon and Nigeria there doing nasty things for money........ Native South Africans queued up for jobs. #Fact!

it's desperation that is causing all these.


And they become a nuisance abroad.

Of all the universities in the post, not a single one from the South East was mentioned.

Tell me why Biafra will not be great even as a homogeneous country.A land of promise,integrity,Technological and intellectual advancements,poets,philosopher kings,rich cultural heritage & equity.

A land of heroes and the rising sun.


God bless Biafra.

why do you say that?

Simbrixton:
This story is as old as time mostly amongst easterners

yea

unfortunately true.

If I were you, I would use all that money that would take me to Cyprus (chop money + food + visa + flight etc) and settle myself in another African country to start business

Its easier to establish business in say Ivory coast than Nigeria

guys if you want to travel do it, if you don't want to stay no dey vex me jare, NEPA never bring light since morning.

just imagine

in an oil producing country no light?

that country should be ashamed of itself

Nig4Greatness:
.....
So if they ask you to bring your money in exchange for a green card,what does that means to you ??.

They are asking you to invest in their country in exchange for permanent residence

it's an incentive, and it's still your money


so its not a sale for citizenship in the real sense of it

theamerican:
Dear @Nig4greatness

I have read all your posts and I must give it to you, you are intelligent, experienced and the maturity in your all you have written has been refreshing. Thanks for trying to make your points without insulting anyone.

The thread was created to throw the question to the public: "is migrating worth the stress?". I always talk about subjectivity, and I have never stopped talking about it. I have absolutely nothing against anyone's decision to stay in Nigeria or migrate. I simply give reasons for migrating.

Now that we've got that out of the way, this is not a "how to migrate/how to become a U.S. citizen" thread. Those who have tried to ask me that have been told to visit the threads for that and/or get more info from the right places.

The "2nd class citizen" theory is one of the things I don't agree with one bit. Your rights as an American or even a legal resident/visitor can't be compared in any way, shape or form to whatever you call rights in Nigeria. People come here, go through the very complicated steps to become citizens, and when they finally get what they want, they come back to feed others with statements like "we're suffering here", "the country is overrated", "2nd class citizen", "no place like home", etc. I call them out for what they are: UNGRATEFUL HYPOCRITES!

When immigrants want to become U.S. citizens, they swear to "...renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen." If your patriotism was that strong, or if Nigeria's all that they're trying to make it, why would anyone swear this oath? Why don't they remember the suffering in the U.S., taxes, racism, high cost of living, etc. and not swear that oath?

Again, I will state this... I am NOT against anyone's decision to live in Nigeria or go elsewhere. I was in Nigeria, I didn't like it there, guess what I did? I left. Those who are here and don't like it here and think Nigeria is better can also leave. It's a free choice.

Say you travel to Japan or Saudi Arabia and you get arrested/kidnapped or whatever. As a dual citizen, which government do you think will likely come to your rescue when contacted? Nigeria or the U.S?

Finally, if the U.S. and Nigeria came up with laws that prohibited dual citizenship and you're forced to choose either to be an American, or Nigerian, which citizenship would you give up? I'm curious, I really wanna know your answer.

help me tell them o

if they want to stay, let them stay.

me I don comot, though not to the USA, but to a country that is more sane.

Those who wan stay can stay, happy staying

Half brother to the former Psquare duo, Peter Okoye aka Mr P shares new pictures.

BY GISTMORE http://www.gistmore.com/peter-okoye-looks-dapper-different-collection-outfits-photos

What kind of blogging is this

Do you know the meaning of half brother

Are Peter, Paul and Jude not from the same parents


What sort of rubbish is this?

"half brother to the former P Square duo"

does that even make sense? ?

EMMAACHILE:
Read the following links my guy

https://www.gov.uk/tier-1-entrepreneur/access-to-200000-investment-funds

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andyjsemotiuk/2014/07/18/5-best-ways-for-investors-to-immigrate-to-the-united-states/

I just checked the links, and it validates my point

However I guess countries like Chile and Malta have our right purchase of citizenship, or citizenship after a year

I can't remember the full details, but it's something like that

The USA and the UK attract high net worth individuals to come and invest to get a green card.
It does not come with outright citizenship


It's done countries in Europe and South America that does outright sale of citizenship
Even south Africa has something like that tho, and I would have done it, just that I don't have the capital requirements yet, I'll get there one day sha

I know what I'm saying

Nig4Greatness:
.....
They do......argue what you know.

If you are a high net worth individual, it will get you a green card after some processing.

It cannot give you citizenship outright.

Nig4Greatness:
.....
Funny you,I don't hold green card...I hold blue passport.do you know some of these Americans do envy some of us with dual passports??.
It's okay my brother,the US is a beautiful place and I always encourage those around me to visit or otherwise if they have that strong conviction but not because Nigeria is bad..Nigeria can only get better,remember it's our collective responsibility to make it a better place for us and for the next generation.may God bless my motherland

Nigeria can only get better

Okay o

EMMAACHILE:
Are you saying having a lot of money is not success? When you have money, most of your problems are solved and you feel human.

With money, you could travel the world easily and even buy citizenship in some countries like the UK, USA, New Zealand, Poland, etc.

Having a lot of money is like 95% of your problems solved!

U.K. and U.S. DO NOT SELL NATIONALITY

Nig4Greatness:
.....
Most of the things you wrote out there are happening in those countries you dream about,so no system is perfect and no Country can provide adequate quality life for her citizens....the type you seek.there are many poor Americans too.
Make no mistake about it,the smart ones are those making things happen in Nigeria while the desperate ones bailing out as you said are those crying for survival.
Meanwhile,I spent most of my time in Nigeria as am currently doing and know everything that goes around there.
Remain there and keep complaining while the country keep making millionaires by the day.

To you, the definition of success is to have a lot of money

not bad


but not everyone thinks like that

Nig4Greatness:
......
The truth is the truth...sure but there's a saying in IT world like GIGO.....(garbage in garbage out).it's a simple natural law of success,whatever you sow you reap.
No Country can produce more than what her citizens sowed into it.when the country is bad,let's accept responsibility and work it right and stop blaming the leaders or elites who are also products of the same societies.

you are right

mexxmoney:
As far as I am concerned, I will take Trump over Obama anyday. Trump is a doer, he is getting things done. Obama just wasted his eight years with his incompetence

Obama presidency saved their economy and put it on the path to growth and recovery

Though we can question his style on foreign policy, he really tried in the home front

One thing that is common to both of them is that they will always put their country first, it's just that they have different ideologies on how to do so


but in shithole Africa, we don't even know what we are doing

Megatrix:
This line has become stale. Trump is not a racist, he's a good man

oh lawd!
What will one not see

See stupid ass negros dissing Obama and hailing trump
Ask them for concrete reasons and they will start mumbling

Black man black sense

Very informative

Very informative

but you will not see many comments here.

mars123:
The importance of having a buffed up foreign reserve is just like having dollars (not naira) in your personal savings account. Buhari deserve some accolades for raising that amount from USD 20 billion to what it is now. If Buhari is man enough to keep growing that money and not share it like the previous government, then the next president will have an easy task of managing the economy.

ignorance

Nig4Greatness:

Point of correction....I never discouraged people from leaving but the question is for what purpose??...because the country is bad??...hell no,its because we don't want to play by the rules.every country pass through a transition and I was glad you mentioned china.go and read China rise to freedom and learn more if we are never closer to what they did.
Yeah the advantage I got from.being an American is the freedom I get to travel anywhere in the world period.I run same business in nigeria and United States and I make bold to say I make more money in Nigeria than I do in the US.
Let me share this,every time I file my tax returns in nigeria,those Irs guys will ask me to manipulate the figures and tip them.so they can wipe it off for me in their system.....and many more like that....and you want the country to progress??.hear this sgain,the operating budget of Nigerian with close to 200million in population with less than 40% implementation is N8T (about $25b) which is less than that of poor state of Georgia with just 10million in population and you want rapid development??.a particular government introduced a mere land use charge and all hell broke loose and yet you want development??.this hypocrisy has to stop sooner.
My personal msg to the OP is not to castigate and run down her home country because her adopted country is doing better than the former.
The last time I check,there's are still places in the US without proper telephone and network services.

Nigeria no be better country

Full stop.


I get you are trying to be patriotic and all, but the truth is a truth


the op castigating the country is out of annoyance and frustration.

The level of ignorance I see in Nigeria is kind boggling

philip0906:
Oh please! Same tale our corrupt elite hawk around. When did China' rise to industrial, economic, political dominance begin? We were faring better than them in the 70s.
When did the UAE begin building the Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other emirate cities that have become the wonder of the world architecture,infrastructure and economic wise? Nigeria was faring better than the UAE in all indexes in the 70s.


Lol...but at least you were smart to have gotten the Green card. Let those that want to go get the green card just like you did, then we'll all come back together and build Nigeria.


Na so. Second class citizen indeed. We hear that alot. Here in Nigeria, first class citizens are being owed salaries months on months, herdsmen are chasing and killing, SARS and police are shooting young boys, Men in the armed forces are shooting boys protesting in the east aside the innocent civilians already been beaten on an almost daily basis...I can go on and on

Those at the lower rung of the ladder in Nigeria are even third class citizens, then those who are fooling themselves saying that they are "middle class" are the second class citizens.

the "first class citizens are the business and political elite, and those close to them.




Is it not Nigeria that I grew up in again?

peacengine:
Bro, after you run come back for visit and blame Northerners for taking over
