kaboninc: I think I have a suggestion: The city gates should be opened and those who want to leave should be categorised as this: Thank you!! This all I'm saying. Has anyone here especially the "abandon ship" guys ever looked at what's going on with Eko Atlantic?? A lot of people might think its one of those projects that'll never happen but believe me when I say work is going on there seriously. Now if you take a look at most of the architects/developers there, they are foreign firms. These guys leave their "sane" environment to invest here because they know how to recognize opportunity. Those guys didn't get to where they are today because they were always looking for the most comfortable option. Those guys will make billions while developing Naija and take it back to their country to help develop it even further meanwhile we Nigerians over there turn our noses up and act like they're better than Nigeria/Nigerians. Most of these guys that are saying US this, UK that would avoid paying taxes if they could, a lot of them living on credit they know they can't afford. A lot of them contributing to the decadence of these countries and yet some of them come here and talk about how US/UK is paradise. Truth is if the US were left alone to some of these individuals it'll be worse than Naija in less than 5 years. My goal is to be successful here and have a lot left over to even go back and invest well in the US, therefore living the best of both worlds. I know guys that have done this, starting from a humble background. Guys that had a goal and were willing to go for it. I know guys that do a month here, a month there. Guys that go back and drop money on a house that people shouting here can't afford even with their 30-year payment. 2 Likes 1 Share |

mrmetoo1: You're welcome sir. I just wish our youths realise that they have so much potentials to be great. I'm not there yet, not close and very far. But I like and want to be positive and remain positive. We've got what it takes to be great. Am not against travelling in the general sense but vacation, study, research and then get your aS.s back to the country. Nor because our country is in a mess! 1 Like 1 Share |

A thief with no opportunity to steal thinks he's honest. Give most of them #StayBackAndFixNaija people a 1 day visa and see if them go agree to return. Nigeria is a good country to invest but you cannot make that kind of dorobucci money when you're inside. If you get paid £50 to fix a hair (home service) a day and you make 5 ladies hair in a week... That's £250. £250 X 280= N70k for those week. Even if doesn't make sense in d uk, but think about wetin 70k go do for Nigeria.

Let's face the truth staring us in the face...,,Nigeria is messed up...if we can all come to terms with the fact that Nigeria is messed up that will be d first step to correcting the Nigerian state rather than try to paint the truth. Tell me if there is any act of terrorism that is worse than negligence of government towards its people. The negligence of the Nigerian govt has claimed more lives and ruined destined compared to boko haram...In Nigeria people die of illness that wouldn't hv killed them if we had a functioning health system. People talking here of how one can make it in naija and how its only lazy pple that can't mke it here are all talking because u can afford 3 square meals, u hv ur generator, live in a very conducive environment and went to good school and have got jobs....if u want to be sincere about the country and to yourself then u will view Naija thru the eyes of the millions wallowing in abject poverty. People say we shouldn't compare Nigeria to UsA or Uk but I say why can't we after all can us or uk boast of the resources naijA has? If we had reasonable leaders max it may take to make naija a country to reckon with is say 15yr. Its just so sad for the youths of Naija...cos of the pshycological torment frm naija most hve seen it As normal to earn 25k with a bsc. so why won't youths seek to travel out where they get value for there certificate in terms of pay and employment. Naija doesn't know what is about to hit it..with the influx of Nigerian youths into foreign school and the country retaining the best of Nigerian minds because they value what naija doesn't value (intellectual resources) Naija will soon start suffering from human capital which is going to be very terrible because the world is gradually moving from ur natural resources to Intellectual resources. You wonder how Nigerians will reason well when there is no basic amenities...if there are basic amenities pple will be in d right frame of mind to fight for any cause and it seems the leaders are purposely making life in naija so hard tha citizens will hv no chioce but to focus On survive. I thAnk God for his favour in my life but that doesn't make me blind to the fact that my Nigerian brothers and sisters are suffering and if anyone has d means to go abroad pls do GO. -MenGoingThereWay. 7 Likes |

For me, what the op is saying is the must travel mentality is overrated. If u Travel go, travel come back. At the end of the day,ur money is what makes things work over there. The only difference between here and the west is proper utilization of resources. If we the youth run away from what is ours, who's gonna fix it for us? Our frail elders? Or our unborn children? The battle we face now is more crucial than even that at Independence in 1960. The Labour of Our Heroes Past Shall Never Be In Vain |

Good post by the OP, in fact it's a great post but we cannot box the entirety of life into a personal experience. All you said is true but that's just one version of the truth, we all have our own version of the truth depending on the angle we see from or criteria we judge from. I was relatively successful in Nigeria but I moved to the US based on family contigencies and within 2 years I have doubled what it took me 15 years to achieve in Nigeria. A friend also left a Mobil job, moved to the US and in the less than 6 months he started earning more than what he was earning in Mobil. Some will say its crazy but when you consider the future of your family in an uncertain country with no sign of things getting better? You will also jump ship ! Let's not be fooled, it was not all sweet stories at the beginning but things will always change if you run with a vision. This ; Op is my version of the truth ! 5 Likes |
