The problem with professionals like doctors and some categories of engineers e.g petroleum and mechanical engineers who get to succeed abroad is that they think their circumstances apply to every other Nigerian, or the bulk of Nigerians who are trying by all means to go abroad. The most successful Nigerians abroad are professionals in certain fields. However this does not mean that jobs are waiting for every Nigerian who lands a foreign country with a Master's degree in anything. Some jobs can even be gotten directly from Nigeria in countries like the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, the countries of the Middle East and a number of others if you have the right professional experience. However the vast majority of travellers are people who have no such qualifications and hope to play it by luck in foreign countries typically end up in trouble. Nigerian professionals are largely oblivious of the suffering of other Nigerian immigrants in foreign countries because they live a sheltered life. What has someone who works in a gated Halliburton compound in Iraq or an expat compound in Khobar in Saudi Arabia, got to do with the illegal guy dodging police in Riyadh and sleeping in a room of 12 people? 11 Likes |

Why discourage us....when am still saving up to travel obodo oyinbo hopefully next year. If the disadvantages are more than the advantages why are those people telling us to stay back still staying there. No amount of write up can make me change my mind....I must travel to Europe or America. People making it there don't have two heads. Tired of swindling fannies of naija babes. Need to sample carribean , white , brazilian, european,asian babes for a change. This is only possible if I relocate permanently. Can't wait to fulfil my fannyswindling fantasies. 7 Likes |

Someone who has completed a medical degree in Nigeria and goes to the United States and passes his USMLE exams cannot have to same outlook on life as someone who came with a two year visa with a BSc in philosophy and whose travel documentation is currently expired but yet is looking for oyibo to marry for papers or menial jobs to survive, with no money to write any professional exam and retrain. Yet the bulk of obodo oyibo travellers fall into the latter category. 4 Likes |

Its mostly my friends in the medical sector abroad who blow the best grammar and talk of the comforts of obodo oyibo because in their field as long as your university is in the WHO register and you can pass a country's exams e.g USMLE or GMC, you are considered good to go, with the shortage of medical professionals it even makes their jobs easier. These people can never see things from the perspective of somebody who came to the United States through the back door. Meanwhile 7 out of 10 travellers might fall into such risky circumstances. Before you go to obodo oyibo have a plan for experience and qualifications, and go to a country with prospects for immigrants. Don't carry yourself to a dead end zone with no money to survive. You will hate yourself. In Nigeria, it is hard to die of hunger or lack of accommodation. Bad as e bad you will find one uncompleted building to stay sef, if not a friend or relative to squat with.If you own a house, you can never go hungry to the point of death in Nigeria. In obodo oyibo the day you run out of money is the day you will understand hunger and eviction are worse abroad. And when you go without enough money for experience, retraining or even getting a legal work permit, how will you make money to survive? 5 Likes |

This is an excellent post. Our people back home need to be educated especially the youths. Alot of people out here are living from hand to mouth. I came in last year to do my Ph.D program in the states and I knew how much I have spent paying bills. I have came accross so many people that are stranded and couldn't return back home. A broad is only good if you come to study and you have your money to spend. Coming to hussle is never advised. 6 Likes |
