After living in a developed country for sometime, some people only start to see the negatives of that country and believe Nigeria can't be much worse. They start to feel Nigeria is not as bad as it seems due to the short holidays they spend in Nigeria ever year.
I know some people that have made the move back to Nigeria, most after college and they seriously regret it. Even the one that is somewhat comfortably in Lagos is battling and doing everything he can to relocate to Canada. I won't say more than that.

Bro with all this things and you are still in Australia with your family. Are you saying there is no good aspect of the said country you are talking about.

All countries in the universe have their own flaws. But you know why, you only look at the merits and de-merits or if you like the benefits of such country.
I believe that the merits of residing in Australia outways the de-merits.
Mind you, Australia began experiencing a high number of black race in their country in the last ten years and as such you don't expect the country to be populated by blacks, but gradually is happening with high influx of black race through education, business and family re-union.

Their is no country without an atom of racism. You can talk about your country, what is happening?.. is every thing alright with them.
Bro! Ignore those niggas and focus.
Even America of all country, are they free of racism?..

Be focus bro!!. Goodluck in your life endeavor.

Ehya..welcome back to motherland in advance,there are plenty jobs of course and home is the best..abi now?..i would have loved to hear the good sides of melbourne from you as well...because i am consideri f moving there as moat of what i get are good reports...where do you stay if you dont mind me asking so that some of us can be guided

On another note naija is big on tribalism and nepotism which is on the same scale with rasicm or even worse (afterall we are all blacks in Nigeria you get?)...i learnt to live with different tribes and thier shenanigans so same can be applied to different races..

My fellow Nigerians,
I commend everyone for the keen spirit and Goodwill.
One way or the other,you folks have contributed to my success; consciously or otherwise.

This is my 4th Month in Australia as a migrant (189) and I must say it's one of the most thoughtful decisions I have ever made asides getting a spouse.
With the permission of my ogas I would like to drop the full gist/ timeline in the other room.

However, a simple breakdown goes thus:
Arrived Melbourne 10/10/17
Got my Professional job 23/10/17 without aussie local experience/ driver's licence.
Got my first paycheck 08/11/17(the rate is )
Currently working in Sydney on a major capital Metro project.
I give God all glory and honour......

PS: for those still wondering and pondering about the distance and uncertainties; a piece of advice mate# " there are no guarantees in life, but if you dare to conquer your fears,you shall excel beyond your imagination".

Please if you av visa of subclass 651 Aus, is there need for you to have invitation letter at hand? Will they ask for it at the airport? Thank you

Pidgin2:



So after investing millions and moving his family, changing jobs and school for his kid he should just run back to Nigeria without preparing himself, what do you think his family and friends will think of him? Stop being emotional about his decision, it's not your business, he only expressed himself no need to be rude

Albion05:
Bro I doubt you read and understood my advice to him.
Never did I ask him to return back to Nigeria.
I only asked him to pay less attention about the issue of racism and be focus in his endeavor.
Please don't quote me wrongly.
I advice, you go back and read again what I posted.
Bye!.

You will never hear the truth from people living in a country. Majority will deceive you by painting a rosy and wonderful pic of the country they live whereas they are suffering in silence. I’m not saying everybody is not successful in Australia but a lot of people, especially immigrants are having it tough. It is better to lower your expectations of what Australia is and what it has to offer.
I see amongst Nigerians especially on this forum and similar forums, it is the good side of Australia that is projected. Go online, especially amongst Indians, people have expressed their opinions in a way I have done today to warn prospective immigrants. There’s a lot at stake, there’s a lot to weigh. I know Nigeria is bad right now and all we want to do is escape the “sh** hole”

ogbevireo:


please do not bother yourself about pidgin2.
she postulates the Nigeria is greater and better theory on every thread that is related to immigration on nairaland.
you can confirm my assertion.

Pidgin2:


Same thing with living abroad, after a while you notice it is not heaven on earth then it's up to your personal decision to chose the lesser of two evils, live abroad and be faced with racism and other things that stagnate your growth and ambition or stay in Nigeria and cope with whatever comes. That's an individuals personal decision, why are you so pained?

I’m only voicing out my experience of living in Australia for the last 13 months. Melbourne is nothing but a huge disappointment.
Crime is on the increase. I was personally a victim of crime twice within 6 months of arrival.
Racial prejudices is high here compared to most

AdeyinkaSeun:
This is just my honest opinion. You can decide to take it or leave it. I know there are people who love it the way it is but before you crucify me, remember I’m only voicing out my experience of living in Australia for the last 13 months.
Melbourne is nothing but a huge disappointment. Run down houses and streets everywhere. The culture of keeping a well

So this neanderthal nitwit of aberration is here @ Pidgin2, so u've stopped trolling Franknetter and landed here? For real? You can't hide ur race bt u can hide ur tribe? This is abt d stupidest and irrational statement I've ever heard, but then again considering d b*ffon that uttered d statement, I'm not surprised. So living in denial in Nigeria is better than facing ur problems away from here? I would've put forth an argument addressing this psychotic delusional statement of urs bt I'll rather spend tht time eviscerating a hyrax and an E-nuisance like u. @AdeyinkaSeun.. U've made ur opinion/view known, since the place is bad, pack and come back, Nigeria is a paradise compared to Australia.. what's all this noise here? @AdeyinkaSeun.. it was ur unsolicited "opinion" that brought this fly @Pidgin2 here. This thread was and is helping a lot of people here, U've never made any contribution here bt u can come here and vomit poison, if no1 will tell u, I will do that. Dude get lost if u're not here to help.

AdeyinkaSeun:


@Priceless25
Why are you mad because somebody gave his opinion? As Bellong has pointed out, you can either learn from it [/b]or ignore it. Do you live in Australia? Can you write a rebuttal to my write-up without throwing tantrums like a 4 year old? Your uncivilized attitude and that of many on this forum is what[b] makes Nigeria unlivable. You always fail to respect other people’s opinion.

Thank you Bellong, Hephziebah, Catchdwind4rmkd,Pidginf and Vinsmuft for your mature contributions.

Yes, maybe I sounded too negative. That was not intended. Also not intended was using my opinion to dissuade prospective Aussie immigrants, especially Nigerians. I wanted to use my experience to reduce the culture shock experienced by immigrants when they get to Australia.


As for those mocking and childishly asking me to go back to Nigeria, well let me tell you something. There’s a stage you get in life when you have to define where happiness lies and what it truly means.

Pidgin2:


Racism is much different from tribalism. You can't hide your race but you can hide your tribe.

Lol.. I've abandoned that dude's case, kilo ode.. No contribution no nothing and yet he wants to come to this thread and bad mouth where he's not willing to leave anytime soon. So many people have emensely benefited from ur contribution, mamajaz, bellong and so many others I can't mention, these selfless individuals that share informmation and help others, so many pple had been given temporary accomodation from fellow nairalanders. God will continue to bless everyone for me.. D werey @AdeyinkaSeun (uncle I'm in Australia and ure not) is just trying to b silly, even if he wanted to criticise, I thought as learned individuals we are, that he would do it constructively. Dt guy no get sense
