even though they're not as rich as their potrate still better than Nigeria my country

I am surprised by some posts here. I had this same argument with my American colleagues and I thought they were mere white supremacist, now I have to fight it out with my own people...my gawd, I am flabbergasted - Our road to redemption is a very far one - We are the problems. This defeatist attitude is similar to the black Americans - they were freed physically but their souls have not been emancipated from mental slavery.
So how can we blame Saraki who is in London to celebrate his son who graduated in LSE, I don't blame him because I won't want my son hobnobbing with crowds with low self esteem.

Keep kwayet. We ain't sugar coating shit. Our country is messed up. EOD. Do they also seek medical help outside Dubai? Are their roads are as terrible as ours? Is crime rate this high? How about their child mortality? Do they power their houses with generators? Are their leaders as clueless and directionless as ours?

Mehn, forget it. We all know they city has slums. And it's not easy surviving there. But, even the very poor ones have the things I just listed above. Those things are the some of the things an average Nigerian wants. We aint gonna sugar coat how messed up our country is.

nice 1.op.. wat.an eye opener.

NigeriaKitchen:
So in answer to your question…… How come people in Dubai are so rich?

Well…exactly the same way Donald Trump and Melania Trump show the world that they are so happily married together.

You get to see what THEY WANT YOU TO SEE.

And not what you should not see….

That is why nothing in Dubai really looks really ‘normal’ but like Donald Trump & his Wifey - Totally and Absolutely Larger Than Life.

And yes, too good to be true.

These pictures you are uploading are immigrants who works there. They are from India,pakistan,afghanistan,Nepal,syria etc. The real citizens of UAE are living very fine.

Listen to me.

I'm not saying that one should not be proud of his country

The thing is that the negatives in the country is more than the positives, and Ng has one of the worst HDI results.


If you want to show off Nigeria to them, where will you start from?


When whites come here for the first time, they are amazed that at least, we have an airport and we are not living on trees, but man, even the road leading out of the MMIA is shameful, the scenery is not eye friendly


The only city we can manage to show off is ABJ.


If it was a case that okay, 40% of Nigerian cities are very dope, while 60% isn't, then we can try.....


But when it is Just Lagos, Abuja and a few other places you have to show for a big country like Nigeria, what is there to portray

Think about it

Oga, leave Chicago and come and join us in Lagos so that you can tell whether Jesus is lord or not. Nigeria is a dysfunctional country and you want people who have been dealt a blow by the country to lie on behalf of it? If Nigeria is so good, then what are you still doing in Chicago. I can permit pidgin2's delusion of grandeur because she probably lives in Nigeria and still feels the need to defend the country. What i won't have is someone who's privileged to live in the high society in the most democratic country in the world telling us to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. Are you freaking kidding me, dude?

ollah1:
I don't think it's fair comparing Lagos with Chicago. Lagos is a state and a city while Chicago is a city and the capital of Ilinois.
I think the comparisons should be Chicago vs Ikeja or Lagos vs IIlinois.

Chicago is not the capital of Illinois


So you are wrong

Seriously you must be abjectly poor, go to job section to apply for jobs or if you can be creative move over to the business and investment section, your opinion is not needed or appreciated by people who have good self worth

Jiang:
EVEN IF WE DO A MASSIVE CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE NIGERIAN IMAGES, IT WONT WORK

CAUSE
1-Greedy naija bloggers looking for cheap traffic will keep filling up the internet with our dark side.

2-THE IPOBIANS=dis set of idiots are even bigger threats than boko haram cause they got access to d internet.THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO DRAG NIGERIAS IMAGE INTO THE MUD, THEY WILL EVEN LIE & BRING FAKE STUFF

3- WE DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR TOURIST SPOTS, NIGERIA IS SO FREAKING UNIQUE THAT WE HAVE all the types of Savannah zones available here, DESERT, LUSH VEGETATION, MOUNTAINS, GRASSLANDS, WILD LIFE....but we ignore it 4 Oil money

Your number 3 point pisses me off the most.


your number 1 point is another one too.

but you may not blame many Nigerians killing the image of the country...

They have suffered in its hands, so you can't expect them to just hail the country that they are suffering in

zicoraads:
But their leaders are serious about governance, yea?! Nigeria na rubbish country. You can't sugar coat it.

This is another sad truth

Think about it

What of Jos, Uyo, Calabar,Enugu, Kaduna, Ilorin, Kano, Sokoto , Owerri, I can't even mention all, have you been to any of these places before?

ikp120:
It's only an idiot who thinks that there are no poor people in certain cities.

Why don't you also say that America ain't rich because there are slums there too?

Alaye America no rich to dat level joor, America own china a debt of over $3trillion USD and claiming dey rich, Google it to confirm.

Tell us your life's miserable stories so that we will sympathize with you and follow you in abusing Nigeria, as long as it makes you feel better

What do you do for a living?

All that glitters is not gold...The difference between these societies are people like you. I have never met an American that talks down about their nation. You guys are incorrigible. Ignorance is bliss.

Pidgin2:

I've been to more than half of the states in Nigeria...

And your list is rubbish


Ilorin is a glorified village.

Don't even start with owerri....
Mushroom hotels left and right.

I like Enugu tho, the pace of life is cool

Calabar is just okay, but is decaying slowly. Calabar of Donald Duke and Calabar of today is not the same.

Kano is coming up , but many extreme non secular people there



So what are you telling me

Goldenboy007:

Why will an American talk down on their country when they're ranked very high in every possible metric of social development. My dear, you're the ignorant one here. You can't sit in America and fool anyone but yourself. We live in Nigeria and know where the shoe pinches. Until you deport yourself back to Nigeria, you don't have the moral right to talk down on anybody that says it as they see it.

Ok I am getting off this topic. I am allergic to obnoxious people.

I like what you are doing, but man, in the current shape Nig is in, most Nigerians will not defend it

You have not tasted the brunt yet, that's why you are talking like this

We're allergic to hypocrites. Now scram.

Saintinoo:
lagos developed as chicago? Do you even know what development means

Hahahaha...

Saintinooo..

You very funny...

NigeriaKitchen:
So dear Nigerians, stop saying bad things about Nigeria....stop taking pictures of bad places in Nigeria and showing to the world because it is killing us.....all nations, all big cities in the world have their sorry side....but the western world and other big nations have mastered the art of deceit and image packaging....such that they package their city to look so rich and perfect to your fantasy....thereby, drawing more investment and tourists to their lands....and making more money for their nations.

Dubai is just packaging...it is not as rich as you do imagine and see on TV and media

We must learn from these people by fire by force, cc: justwise over to you

Na the punchline be dis. Agree absolutely.

The blog didn't reference the source. I was originally written by Loy Machedo from Quora

Read the same exact article on quora in their daily digest today!

Noticed that too

It's what they watch in movies that makes them talk and think like this, the same image polishing the OP spoke about, don't blame them too much, ignorance is the culprit like you've noticed

Goldenboy007:

Those monikers quoting you are actually biafrans, aka Nnamdi Kanu's followers who see nothing good about Nigeria, I think you should ignore them, their opinion is useless

Simpleton, America has been independent for over 200 years, yet they still struggle with racism, crime, violence, etc Simpleton, go and read your history books about their struggles.

This is very false. I have been in Dubai for 2 years now and I can say with all authority that this is mere propaganda

Really? How's university education there?
