This same guy executed his own uncle,

Are there any corrupt politicians in that country?

All the posters above me are either blind to read or don't know how to read! Didn't you see where the report came from? Their own employees, I was expecting to see someone complain of maybe a foulplay being played and not the other way.

GossipHeart:
I pray that this hardship gets worse.

I want everybody to feel the heat so that in the next election you go have enough sense to rebuke any presidential candidate from the northern part of Nigeria

Oga you are just deceiving yourself with that post..

Turns only changed, some certain names of new billionaires will soon be out.. So watch out

When I heard a bag of cement made an increase from N1,635 to N2,100 .. I knew the Change has slapped him too..

Add this to your list.

**Money/Luxury Lifestyle**

Be careful how you show off cash or showcasing a luxury lifestyle around social media out of a low self esteem trying to create several impressions that you have arrived or living the good life especially when you are not a celebrity..
Trust me, apart from the insecurities you bring to yourself, and criminals you invite to keep an eye on you, you will also end up creating secretly envying people, inviting the wrong type of people who will appear to like you but truly only after what they hope to benefit from you.

**************************************

For some time now, I havnt been able to tell which are my true friends because I never see them around when I act broke/having issues. There's always an excuse unless there is a party on.

Only those who had been there might truly understand this.

should better be a joke

NaijainTexas:
Because I choose to and I have a good job. I go back and forth between Naija and US. Right now, with $1= N400+, should it even be a wonder?

I'm making money here and taking it back home.

Besides, regardless of its negatives (every country has negatives), being in the US has much less frustrations than day to day life in Nigeria.

Hope this answers your question.

This answers my question but I got concerned when you made refference to the health aspect, please don't involve in foods that will harm you in the latter, it's not wise to make money and a time comes where you'll be spending it back at your health. Sure you remember that saying "health is wealth". I wish you a great day ahead

Bsideboi:
Doesn't change a thing about them .all our security agencies need to b overhauled.

can you just please unquote the whole story?

kwenu

but wait oo, why are you still there?

NaijainTexas:
OP, I can help. I live in the States and although I do agree America has more privileges than Nigeria, there are a host of things where Naija takes the gold.

-Culture. Here in the US, there is a lack of culture amongst groups of native Americans in the sense of tradition. Most of its culture/tradition are brought by immigrants from all over the world that try to emulate their traditions here. For instance, even when we try, traditional weddings aren't even as authentic as when we're in Naija. The longer we stay in the US, the more our cultures fade off. I don't know the last time I have seen my Yoruba friends bow to greet their elders as I was used to in Naija. Even children talk back and disrespect their elders here.

-Less fresh food - America is all about mass producing food, so if they have to make fake food to create more of it they will. A lot of foods here have preservatives, even the animals have been genetically modified to produce more of it. This causes obesity and increases in illness such as cancer. Fresher food costs way more money, so most just stick to cheaper, more convenient options. Most things here are processed and packaged. At least in Naija, the fish, goat, chicken, cow etc were killed just recently and I am getting fresh meat. Here, do I know when this chicken was killed, or if it died from something else? All I know is is costs $5.99 and it tastes very..different than fresh meat like in Naija. I also miss a lot of the tropical fruits. Most of your favorites you cannot get here.

-Racism due to skin color - At least in Naija, i can expect some sort of tribal discrimination amongst people, but here, you can expect that, racial, class, gender, age...etc discrimination. I dont usually fear not getting considered for a job in Naija because I am black. I had to hurry and get rid of my accent when I was younger because I was getting insulted by children and judged by adults. I know we complain about cops in Naija stopping and asking for money, but here in the States, if you're black and have been stopped by cops, be careful of making sudden movements. Some people will be stopped for traffic violation but end up dead at the end of the confrontation. A lot of times, the officer isn't even held accountable for it. Read up on what has been happening here. That little harassment by the police on the Lekki roundabout doesn't seem so bad now does it?

-Black men treat their black women better/respect them more than in America. Only here will you have a fellow black man compare you to another race and bash you. There's a trust and tension between Black American men and women

-Richness of land. - The soil, the nature, the raw products that are in Nigeria...chai, should make our country the world's richest. For some reason though, we look to other countries to supply us with things. It is a shame. Shea butter easily made one the streets in its purest form in Naija costs SO MUCH here. Why do you think whites, Asians and Lebanese etc are flocking there? We need to wise up and harness our raw goods for export. Also, our people are VERY skilled, talented and creative, other races are hip to this and are making money off Naija.

-Education - Google this, "Nigerians most educated in the US" - For YEARS this has been the case. Even in my city of Houston. Nigerians, everywhere they go value education so much because they know it is the key to success. I think the somewhat spoiled nature of Americans, education can be taken for granted. Do you know how shocked I was when I came here and saw students NOT wanting to go to school, skipping school, rejecting college etc and understand school until college here is FREE!!! Nigerians value education and its benefits have proven itself here in the States. Nigeria inspires you to hustle, work hard and never give up despite your circumstances.

- The cold cold Winters - i can't speak for everyone else, but let me tell you, winter cold feels miserable. A lot of people have learned to deal with it, but when we moved here, it was difficult and I still haven't gotten used to it. The cold is bitingly painful even if you're bundled up. It affects travel (when it snows) and people don't like being social. I cannot stand the cold and I appreciate Naija for not having it.

-Expense of beauty/upkeep - For women especially, getting your hair done, makeup, clothes are FAR more expensive here. When I was recently in Naija in June, I paid the equivalent of $40 to do senegalese twists and that was even with me giving tip! They felt so badly asking me to pay N7k. DO you know the same style, and not even half as good here would cost upward of $250-$300. God forbid. I am so serious though. Let's not even get on the costs of fabric. There are so many skilled tailors to make custom clothing in Nigeria, thats why' so many men and women wear traditional wear. Here, mschew, their skill is not even up to par and they will charge you so much for sewing clothes.

-Work/Life Balance - Truly, a big thing that we deal with here in the States is the culture of work work work. You can be making good money, but you work ALL the time and have little time to enjoy your home and possessions. Google and read up on the 'culture of work in America'. Most other countries have more holidays, more paid time off, more leisure. Yes you see on social media what seems like everyone is enjoying, but everyone is working working non-stop despite your class. The culture here is to go to school, get a job and work work work for someone else and retire.


These are just a few, if you need more I can think up some. Just that I need to get some sleep now so I can wake up and go to work work work for someone else where they likely pay me less than my white counterparts, only because I'm black, just so I can afford to pay all these taxes and buy processed food that will make me sick in a few years.

Lol, but let's keep it real, despite all I've listed here, there are lots of advantages, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Hope this helps with your assignment.

this is fuking funny

Ashawoo
