Anyone that comes near ur window fear will grip you. You see a group of Hausas converge someone, you begin to fear boko haram. You enter traffic for hours, get home afta workn thru d day, no light. Basic amenities that you don't even worry about in Europe, it becomes a chore, as if you are even getting dos amenities free. My friend dat wants to relocate back to Nigeria, I have warned her not to come. Once you have a good job where you are, just stay put there. All dis let me come back to my motherland is all crap.

ReplyDeleteHuh? Wait a minute. Norway has the healthiest food, fresh air, clean water, etc and yet the life expectancy is 47 and 50? Shouldn't the average be higher since they have it so good? Their life expectancy is almost the same as the average Nigerian even with all the struggle.

ReplyDelete@OlivaSilk u wnt kill me with laugh!
ReplyDeleteDenmark? That's a world I would like to live in
ReplyDeleteNice, these are people that love themselves and love their country.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful countries to visit. Living abroad is not as easy or as fun as many people think. There are so many factors that come into play as you all know. There is a rising animosity to foreigners especially blacks. You can integrate but not full accepted by all. You have to work 10 times more to fight your way into a respectable positions. I stay in the UK with a good position but I would swap immediately if a great position is opened to me in Nigeria and of course I get to live in Banana Island lol. No place like home I tell you. Our weather is fantastic, our people warm and friendly, beautiful scenery. Only problem, we are destroying our one and only country ourselves!! I love Nigeria!!! I love the family Of SDK!!! I have few people on this blog that I would love to bless with my small token!! SDK, please can you advise me how I can contribute to the Christmas give away? The first on my list is Emjay!! So not fair how she is attacked all the time whenever she makes a comment. Respect to her for never retaliating. One love!!!
ReplyDeleteYour statement about living abroad is the real truth, take it from me who "have" lived and still living for almost 14 years, nothing beats home.
DeleteSomething caught my attention and that's your sharing heart, i pray God bless me wuth riches just to serve humanity, that for me is living.God bless you and thanks for sharing your blessings with Emjay, that too touched me because she's a lady that has"hearam" on this blog.I read where she gave out something to someone on yesterday IHN.Girl this is a message from me to you, even if you are what they have tagged you to be that was yesterday, today is a new chance to write an history for your generations yet unborn, "Do good Always" no matter what people throw your path.You are favoured and today is just the beginning of your unending testimonies, arise and shine because God says so.
Warm hug and Gid bless you and all anon.14:20
Olu
Emjays fan base increasing. To her haters go and die.
DeleteEverything beats home. You don't worry about relatives, uncles in the village, juju, poison, armed robbers, kidnappers, smelly environment, no light, no clean water, no good roads, good and affordable healthcare, idiotic policemen, ethnicism, Boko Haram, fraudsters. I can go on and on. I don't see the reason any self-loving individual will leave a place in Europe to go to Nigeria. Not my portion
DeleteDrama. Visa still selling.
ReplyDeleteAsfor Norway the fresh air and water is true but for parties that is lie, those People are not so open, if it is sweden i will agree.
ReplyDeleteStella you need to do a post for peeps who will love to relocate.. who knws?! Bvs out dre myt be willing to help with the process.
ReplyDeleteReally wanna do my masters in canada. If I can study and earn, I wont mind at all.
U have at least $30-35k for masters with ur 2:1 most Canadian uni requires that or u go for PG program. Tuition in Canada no b moinmoin! U can only work to pay ur rent and buy groceries, its a good thing now u can work as early as ur first semester unlike before.
DeleteGood to knw...how nd wat did these countries do to achieve so much......
ReplyDeleteU.K. Bv I'm in uk too London to be precise pls bless me and my kids too .thank you.
ReplyDeleteLol.. no be small visa still selling,abeg stop making noise jare.. Only u waka come
ReplyDeleteAwwww I love Emjay too. That girl is strong, with all d abuse she will still comment. Emjay dear, don't mind dem. half d ppl abusing you look like monkey next to you. The way some people are bullies into adulthood is smthn else. And they will be training dere kids not to be bullies in school. Stella sef if a comment is dregotory she's not supposed to enable it.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSwitzerland, oh switzerland!!! Now I know why Nonso has refused to come back.

My love for Canada though. Would love to do my masters there when I am financialy capable. 2016 will be a good year hopefully.
ReplyDeleteBoy I just love Geneva.....
ReplyDeleteAre people asking why Nigeria is not on the list for real? UK or Germany or France is not on the list you are asking of Nigeria? If they are making 1 to 30 list, Nigeria should/can not be on the list. Can they qualify in term of good education, health care system etc?
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...beautiful countries, God bless me so I can tour round these countries someday with my family.
ReplyDeleteAnd no African country
