1. Do you think I am mad ? if yes state why

Kobojunkie:

I can tell you this . . . it is not always a HOME thing for everyone. Westerners move out to Africa seeking opportunities to better themselves and possibly grow themselves as well. Do we say it is about HOME for them as well? One certainty is that people will always want to move to places or locations where they think they will have a good chance of developing their ideas or growing their business/career, and it also applies to Nigerians.

There are those abroad who have already found their homes and are happy . . . . but still go out to places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, you name it, to set up one business or another or explore new horizons. We need to Stop pretending everyone is as HOMESICK as we have made ourselves and stop pretending that by telling us it is exactly the way we imagine it, we can validate our own inner turmoil by that.

How many of you guys in europe earn up to 3000 pounds after tax before you will be expecting to earn 2million naira per month in Nigeria or you dont know what the exchange rate is. Nigerians abroad are really funny set of people. They are seriously suffering here and yet behave like they are better than people in Nigeria. If you want to earn 2million, remain in the UK cos you aint going to see a company to pay you that unless you have substantial experience.
The level of second class treatment you guys experience in europe, is enough reason to go back to your country and develop it?

KDK:

Don't mind 'em, they look down on people in nigeria mean while they live second class lives there. Well, dat said, u can get a job dat pays dat much but like most contributors added, u have to have certifications and great experience.

frosbel:

certification ? lol

Every manliness and harry has certification these days, it means nothing here in the UK , except of course you do your CCIE etc etc.

What ? With the prevalence of test king and all these useless brain dump cheating material , even a baby can get certified nowadays

Anyway in my opinion Naija is home and I will choose home any day.

Is it armed robbers / well we have them here in the UK
Is it corruption ? it is here as well.
The whole world stinks of evil, only the righteous keep themselves pure, no matter where they are located.

aba or jos is okay for your safety

bidemi12:

If your home gets burgled in the UK, aren’t you confident that when you call the cops they will arrive at least 30min later?

Tippy Top:

They arrive 30mins later to log (for statistical purpose) what happened to your niggaa azz.

lonewolf:

At least they turn up. Also, they don't make incomprehensible excuses about them not having petrol. Why are you acting like Nigerian police and British police are in the same league?

invisible!:

Dont return bros, them go use juju kill ya white azz. Just stay there and sell burgers in Mc Donalds.

Nigerian police dont go after burglars anymore, that work has been ceded to the neighborhood watch groups, and God help you if they catch you, you will be begging them to hand your battered head over to the police.

As for me, just as someone is from say imo state but working in lagos or abuja,
that is exactly the same way i am from there but working in London.

I dont see what the fuss is about relocating especially if you visit home regularly.
I actually travel to the east more often than people living in lagos.

Without going into the pros and cons of living where ever, i'd say each to his own.
If you are obsessed with moving back then give it a go, if not try your best to eck out a good living where ever you are.

I'd say that there are quite a lot of factors that interfere with trying to live a normal life in nigeria.
it simply takes way too much effort to make the simplest things to work in nigeria, but then that could be just me. . . .

invisible!:

Its not the same, naija is naija and london is london. Can you come back and stay in naija on a permanent basis, thats the koko.

We are each made of different materials here. I mean there are the Tinubu's etc who burn their bridges and run back to the safety of Nigeria. There are those who value the new found freedom and safety they have discovered abroad and would not jeopardize that believing it is probably the best they will get for some time to come. Then there are also those who have enjoyed the comfort and freedom but believe it is their calling to go into the wilderness that the people might be saved or that their lives maybe fulfilled.

For me permanent, probably never, but business, definitely!
