Opportunities Their Respective Countries Had Provided Them Before They Moved To The US. According To Him, The German Spoke About Free Healthcare And Education. The Rwandan Talked About The Economic Growth That Had Helped His Business Back Home. The Italian Shared How He Was Able To Have His Children Without Paying For Healthcare, While The South African Spoke About Receiving Government Loans To Establish a Business. But When It Got To His Turn To Talk About The Benefits He Had Enjoyed As a Nigerian In Nigeria, He Said He Suddenly Realized He Couldn’t Point To a Single One. It Was a Moment That Left Him Reflecting On What Citizens Should Be Able To Expect From Their Own Country.show more

Nigeria rarely gives us anything good to write about. Yes, we have plenty of kind and empathetic people, but when it comes to tangible benefits for its citizens, this country offers virtually nothing. He is absolutely spot on.

50 years ago, there wasn't. 50 years to come, if the shit hole still exists, there wouldn't be as well. It's a company & not a country. It wasn't created to serve you

Our benefits looks like this

Benefits of using a generator when the power is off, some People never have that opportunity

Nigeria is the wealthy father who never played a positive role in your upbringing and establishment, but expecting you to pay tributes to him. As a Nigerian, ain't you suppose to benefit frm the huge crude oyel wealth? Tell us what you've benefited from just being a Nigerian.

I got cheap education before moving to the US. My master at UNIBEN back then was not up to $400. The cheap education you get in Nigeria is a major factor that help us to be successful in America. This shallow minded people are bold to say rubbish.

If those citizens you've mentioned truly benefited anything from their countries of origin they wouldn't emigrate to the US and join the US Army. They're in the same boat as you bro. Their countries offered them nothing (like Nigeria offers Nigerians) or very little so they emigrated and are willing to lay down their lives for their adopted country. That's extremely sad.

@mentor_HQ Nigerians are slaves unfortunately because check am now, what benefits do slaves have absolutely nothing.

I know we love to pile on Nigeria but public education, at least in my time was heavily subsided. It may have not been the best but hey it beats having zero. Those Govt Secondary Schools helped become a pipeline for many into universities that then went on to do great in life.

The Nigeria state isn’t trying to cater to your welfare despite it gigantic revenue collection apparatuses and sale of its abundant natural resources. The Nigerian state via its wicked ruling class is trying to opppress & subjugate you & place your children in perpetual servitude

Izuchukwu Eze, we grew up together. Tried NDA but didn't work out, graduated and proceeded to the US and easily joined the US Army. NDA experience would have been his benefit, but I guess God had a bigger plan for bro.

A government that cannot even support its own sports teams when they travel to represent the country. What a shame!

You forgot NEPA at least dey leave light for 4 hours now instead of two hours

When you want to apply for anything outside Nigeria, you will be truly depressed because they don't rate us.

Nigerians are too loud, very soon the US Army will start tightening the noose on recruiting Nigerians. Cho cho, I mean these guys are soldiers not content creators. The other day, one was showing their houses, another the food they eat, all Nigerians serving in the US Army.

Nigeria is a very useless country

Lies! Make up stories.

I have maintained that since I was born till now that I am old, there was never a time my parents came home with anything given to them by the Nigerian government, I myself has never received any benefits from the Nigerian government instead, the government steals from us.

Lol he's an ungrateful idiot, Nigerian higher education was very cheap compared to the rest of the world before the recent price hike. Nigerian commodities is also very cheap compared to other African countries like Ghana and Capeverde(two countries I've lived in).

You should've narrated how Sultan of Sokoto and his bandits and terrorist jihadists failed in capturing and separating Ur head from its shoulder..well not entirely a benefit but surving Nigeria is already a benefit. It shall never be well with Luggard & those who sent him.

That's Nigeria for you,

One benefit is you'll be rugged and resilient when you get out there. There's no survival skill you won't learn from living in Nigeria.

There's nothing mind blowing about being a Nigerian! We just like hyping nonsense ! We are not resilient, we are docile and loud and ignorant

Nigeria is a company not a country bro

Not 1 single benefit... not 1.. Just suffering, high taxes and more suffering. Bastards

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂APC FOR LIFE

You never see anything

No single benefit at all, we keep surviving on vibes and insha allah

Nigeria has no proper social security system that takes care of the ordinary citizen from birth to old age. There is no reliable monthly support for the unemployed, no dignified pension that actually arrives on time for most retired workers, no guaranteed medical cover for the sick, and no safety net for widows, orphans, or the elderly who can no longer work. That is the hard truth. The greater problem is not only that government has failed to build this system. The greater problem is that many Nigerians themselves defend the failure. They make excuses for those in power. They say the country is too large. They say the population is too many. They say corruption is everywhere so nothing can work. They say we should be patient. In doing so, they give cover to the same people who have turned public office into private estate. Look at the states one by one. There is not a single state in this country that lacks the natural and mineral resources needed to place its people on a basic welfare programme. The oil producing states sit on crude and gas. The agricultural states produce food that could feed millions and still have surplus for export. The solid mineral states hold gold, tin, coal, limestone, bitumen, and other deposits that have been mapped for decades. Even states that appear dry have land, water potential, and human energy that can be organised into productive work. None of them is empty. None of them is condemned by nature to poverty. Yet the people who control these resources live like kings. They travel in convoys. They send their children to the best schools abroad. They build houses that look like hotels. They move from one expensive hospital in Europe to another when they fall sick. Meanwhile the average Nigerian struggles to put food on the table, pays school fees with pain, and dies from treatable sickness because the nearest hospital has no drugs. This arrangement is not an accident of nature. It is a choice. It is sustained by silence, by tribal loyalty that blinds people to shared suffering, and by the habit of making excuses for those who loot the commonwealth. It must change. Citizens must stop defending failure. They must demand that the wealth under their soil and in their rivers first serve the people who live on that land. A country that can fund endless political campaigns and endless luxury for a few can fund a simple, honest welfare floor for the many. That is not charity. That is justice. Until Nigerians insist on it without fear or favour, the same story will continue.

Na Jagaban boys dey chop all the update and benefits

But some bastards say Tinubu Dey work

The citizens are not benefiting anything as pointed out by Very Dark Man VDM in NBC conference meeting in Ph

Cheap fuel, cheap school and cheap access to hospital....if he did not value these, let him as the others how much it cost in those countries.

My primary and secondary education is free of charge. Na PDP first introduce #500 school fees in 2004. Fayose first Regim
