Shut your mouth and accept the truth..

talk is cheap..

A Ghanaian stranger on nairaland and non-nigerians are now the ones telling you about your country... Please hide your face

If what i said is wrong then why is the country in a mess.

You're been oppressed by your so-called leaders ..

Nothing is working in the country both the private and public sector...

From education to electricity to banking is all in a mess ..

And you're here telling me this said this that...

headboyprince:
there is nothing like Nigerian spirit... nor do they have a can do spirit...

they're too relaxed and always wait for God to fight their battles for them...hence the country is in shatters...

WORKING & LIVING WITH NIGERIANS ABROAD

Being a Ghanaian, I’ve had this bad impression about Nigerians. I grew up in Ghana thinking Nigerians were negative energies around anyone. I was literally brainwashed mostly by the media to see Nigerians as thieves, murderers, scammers, etc. But after 6 years of working and associating with Nigerians outside of Ghana, the following are what I’ve found and discovered about them. I’m writing this not because my best friend back in the UK is a Nigerian, and not because my senior manager and team lead at my present employer are Nigerians. This is my honest observation!

Arguably, if you put the average Ghanaian and a Nigerian under the same conditions and environment, the Nigerian would undoubtedly outperform the Ghanaian. They are bold, smart and have this relentless quest and effort for learning and perfecting their craft. What a Nigerian cannot do does not exist. I started a DevOps Engineering program for a career alternative and Nigerians especially their women from different career fields constitute about 60% of the class. I was scared to take this step—to move from risk management to pure IT but I was shocked to see Nigerians in nursing, HR, journalism, sales, etc here in Canada taking on the challenge. I quickly reached out to most of my Ghanaian friends but none seem to be interested. This is a fortune field in IT….and when I asked these Nigerians why many of them are here, they told me “this is the surest way to make money by doing less”. Truth is, if you’re starting anything abroad and there’s no Nigerian in it, just know that that thing has no promise ��. A Nigerian wouldn’t attempt what doesn’t bring any monetary gain or value to them!

I’ve noticed that a Nigerian wouldn’t lie to you unless they’re scared of you or stand to gain something exceedingly beneficial from doing so. This confirms why the most genuine and honest folks I’ve ever associated with outside of Ghana are Nigerians. When a Nigerian is sharing an opportunity with you, they disclose everything dito-dito. They withhold nothing—they tell you as it is. My people would give you a half information and still be all over the place saying that they’ve helped you. You have no idea how many Ghanaians have made themselves demi-gods out here because they’ve been here for ages and feel everything must be ran through them. If you don’t go their way, you’re a target for gossip!

A Nigerian sees an opportunity in every situation, and it cuts across. They’re mostly interested in building a sustainable business than for a quick profit. This explains why wherever there are both Ghanaian and Nigerian traders, the Nigerian merchandise would cost less than the Ghanaian—even if they have the same suppliers. I see that here in Calgary at the various African markets.

Show me any work environment or office without a Nigerian and I’ll show you a work that’s less fulfilling and rewarding. The energy around Nigerians is positive and motivating. Nothing scares them than failure so they work hard for success because success is greatly celebrated in their culture. Where I come from, if you’re making any progress, there’s 100% chance you’ll lose 99% of your friends—they’ll spread lies about you out of dislike. Some would also attribute your progress to things other than your personal efforts. “You see that girl, she’s being chopped by so so and so person. You see that guy, he’s an occult. You see that guy, he’s rushing in life. Etc”. Your own family would turn themselves into avowed enemies—praying to see you fail so that they’ll use you as a bad example like “you see that guy, he was rushing in life but see how he’s crushed like a fragile glass.” My people have a long way to go. They must know that it’s okay for anyone irrespective of age to be great at what they do. In fact, people can build a fortune at age 40 or less through genuine means. Let’s inhale some positivity!

We glorify timidity, ignorance and sycophancy as signs of humility but Nigerians encourage boldness, assertiveness and being daring. If there’s a Nigerian in your trade or profession, get closer, you’ll learn a lot from them. I’ve learned a lot from my association with them and I’m always grateful for having one as my direct supervisor at work!

Can you explain why God didn't ask David to send Bathsheba away?

A sin has been committed and he'll suffer the punishment either he sends her away or not. Why should he send her away if he is going to be punished anyways?

I hope you have voters card,Because God won't vote on that day.

Seyi is not a Bastard like an Ipob candidate son. but on the
other hand,

No SE governor is marketing Obi
No Igbo elite official is marketing Obi
No Popular Igbo business man is marketing Obi
None of Obi's children is marketing him the way others are
doing bout their father

Now I'll tell you why, Why? cuz Obi is an unmarketable
product and someone who's surrounded by time wasters and
folks blinded with Illusion with no known achievements
except Beer and Alcohol that messes people up. And this is
also the same person deluded folks are marketing

I have this beautiful chubby neighbor that's from my husband extraction (Igbo)
Babe is hard working, business oriented and an avid hustler.

But she's dating a chubby fuvk boy,a failed yahoo lazy lout that even in the next 50yrs I do not see him ever picking.

He's killing and bringing down my neighbors business and sucking her dry and she doesn't seemed to noticed.

She's always crying of bn broke everytime....and it's damn pissing me off like fvck.

On his birthday she baked cakes for him,printed his name on mugs, towels, got him clothes and even travelled to visit him,left her business and stayed days with him before coming back.

It's irking me because he's a bad market and to me he doesn't have a bright future,he's not working,he has no handiwork and no skills
He's just a rotund whale sucking her youthfulness and finances.

Let's assume he has a skill or he's learning a trade it's another thing, at least we would all assume that he's productive and her supporting him wouldn't be futile,but this one.... nothing nothing.

On her birthday he didn't even posted her pictures or got her a pin,he said he doesn't have data...just negodu the nonsense and he still demanded money from her....to me the guy is just miserably useless.

He's now proposing marriage to her,and he visited her some days ago na she use her money run everything from feeding down to blood test.

I have not met him before,but immediately I saw him....my spirit no conform with his at all...he's not only a liability,but also a robust reaper.

Now my neighbor is asking me what I think of him.....I told her outrightly that I don't like him,that he's going to be a liability to her in the future....person nor fit take care of her as girlfriend,how e go take care of her as wife.....I m one hundred percent sure,she's the one that's going to pay her prideprice, pay for the wedding and feed herself.

She's trying to convince me to like him....but this isoko woman ain't capping that shiit.

I just detest fvck lazy boiz.

Just imagine how APC turned bright minds into funny characters.
Just see Femi and Keyamo
APC = change indeed


How Osibanjo managed to sound intelligent after all these years needs to be under studied.

" I met with 4 of the 6 South South Governors met in Bayelsa State to discuss issues of urgent national interest. One of the key issues that came up was the fact that all the Governors in attendance are fully aligned with the PDP’s mission to #RecoverNigeria for all Nigerians" - Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa

I agree with the submission that the number of people that will vote for Tinubu in the 2023 Presidential Elections is a reflection of the total number of persons living with psychiatric problems in the Nigeria.

These 3 videos above have clearly shown Nigerians that the APC does NOT have a candidate for the 2023 Presidential Elections. What they presented to Nigerians lack the mental capacity to run a one man business talkless of running a complex country like ours with over 200 millions lives and destinies to cater for.

Beyond their non existent presidential candidate, many things are wrong with APC:


1. They destroyed our economy

2. They destroyed our currency

3. They destroyed what is left of Nigeria's unity

4. They destroy our manufacturing sector

5. They destroyed our jobs

6. They destroyed our businesses

7. They destroyed many lives

Dont join the enemies of this country to vote for Tinubu and APC, do the right thing return PDP to Power By Voting For Atiku Abubakar and Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to restructure/unify our country and get it working again.

Together we can get it done!!!!

I don't usually argue the Bible, I always give my stance...
As a Christian, We have the clear biblical command that a Christian is free to marry whomever he or she chooses, so long as the prospective mate is "in the Lord" . 1 cor 7:39B

But in the end, choosing a spouse calls for wisdom. The Bible does not give us a specific means by which we can find spouses...that is your job to find..But You are definitely free to choose or believe whatever makes you happy man...

God is not in the business of choosing a life partner for people anymore..U can bring anyone, and he will bless u.

The Bible says he who finds a wife finds good thing and obtained favour from God.. the key word is HE,.

The last time he found a partner for a human being (Adam), he was blamed for it...
"The woman whom you gave to me... Made me do it"... He is no longer in match making business

What OP need is couples therapy...no two ways about it... That might help to restore those Sparks he saw before taking her to the altar...As for bedroom matters, that is also teachable... hormone induced pills that boost sex drive might help also.. I guess nurses and doctors in the house can throw some light in that...

Killing oneself because he/she felt they made the wrong choice is old school in my opinion.

LegendHero:
Jagaban.

He will always answer whenever the Christians call.

When Bishop Kukah invited him to his book launch event, he answered and graced the occasion with his presence.

I salute CAN for this hand of friendship they extended. You cannot just cancel a candidate because of his action based on calculated political realities. Even if you won’t support him, no need converting him to your enemies without hearing him out.

Jagaban will be a president for ALL. As a Yoruba man that he is, we have the highest level of religious tolerance in the whole world!!
