The sense of community is what i like about nigeria but untill we break off into are respective countries and states there wont be any progress. The north of nigeria is really holding us back and untill there are gone there wont be any major investments that will bring jobs. Vcblinks: |

It no different in the western world if you wear hoodie you can also be killed even just jogging will lead you to get killed. The system in nigeria come from the same flock in most western world due to the colonization and militariziation of africans and blacks alike to treat us as less humans and we africans sadly have fallen into this predictiment back home. the difference is that one is developed and the other is not lefulefu: 1 Like |

No need for this kind of question, at the right stage in one's life, the yearning to come back home from Diaspora will hunt you like a killer. I get it that Nigerian leaders, especially this current scam of a Buhari Govt has made the possibility very unappealing but people must remember tht Buhari wont be there for ever and it takes a critical mass of "good and exposed patriots" to change a country. My junior brother who lives in the US, visits Nigeria for three months every year and has been doing that for almost twenty years now and plans to finally settle down when the atmosphere is more conducive (read: No Killer Herdsmen, Killer Policemen, rampaging Boko Haram, less corruption, etc) |

The fact that people still consider Nigeria as a country still baffles me. It is a failed state and a 5hit hole.....move out while you can and abandon that place that has failed many generations before us and continue to fail the present generation |

Theconglomerate: Do you need to call people names, just to make your point? That rubs badly on your home training but that is by the way. Now, you make a lot of baseless assumptions in your post: - You assumed all Nigerians abroad are into paid employment, what you dont understand is that a lot of them are business owners and employers of labour - You assumed Nigerians abroad are all poor "roaming broke lunatics" but if that is the sort of Nigerians you know, you need to step into a better circle of people, Doctors, Engineers, Investment bankers of high repute, Estate Developers and Managers, Software Scientists, Busisness owners, (Mr. Ogunlesi is a Nigerian in the UK who owns the TWO, BIG thriving Airports in Britain, Google his name), Registered Nurses of many years experience, etc.. And seriously, apart from selling fake and adulterated goods, looting Govt treasury, Kidnapping, Drug pushing and other crimes (No disrespect to ordinary, hard working Nigerians), majority of the very rich in Nigeria cannot compare to the Professionals who are doing legitimate work abroad, that l mentioned. Your so-called investments is peanuts, when divided by $1 to #500. You will need to work "five humdred times harder", if you dont commit a financial crime, to be on financial par with these people. How many people earn the equivalent of between $130,000- $200,000 per annum in Nigeria (about #100M per annum? And that is just a general for average earners. Not even a Nigeria bank CEO or President. For me, l cannot exchange Nigeria for anywhere else but l just wish all these evil leders will contact Coronavirus and die like flies. Calm down and stop attacking Nigerians who live abroad. It is not a fight between those at home and those aborad. 3 Likes 1 Share |

JewelStone: Please listen very well. If you left home over 10 to 15 years, just wake up from your dream. The community you knew doesn't exist anymore. Do not let what you see visiting home deceive you. For many who left long ago, parents or grandparents may be gone by now, once nice relatives have changed, neighborhoods have changed. Attitude to money and wealth have changed. In fact everything has changed. Sense of community you knew is no more. Crime is worse, envy is high, etc. Those friends who have been successful in 9ja have moved away too. They won't have your time if you are not gonna contribute anything to their business growth. Where you are now is your NEW & PERMANENT home. Especially as you have kids there. 4 Likes 1 Share |

RaptorX:Lol. Not everyone leaves Nigeria because they're struggling so speak only for yourself. I had a fairly good job in Nigeria that was paying around 200k per month. It wasn't a lot of money but the best part of my job was the tips I was getting. I barely touched my salary cos I lived off my tips and my high-risk investment which had 20% monthly return. Before relocating from Nigeria, I had been to Istanbul, Paris, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Dusseldorf, London, Dubai, NYC, Vegas and LA on holidays. I also visited to Cotonou shortly before I left Nigeria because I wanted to experience life in another African country. Yeah my first few months here were tough. But as someone with a high drive to succeed, I quickly learnt the ropes and how to package myself and get a good job. God also blessed me with a man who has the same drive as me, we're doing alright and we're currently building our multi-million dollar home in Sydney. And I've been here less than 4 years. I choose to live in Australia because the leaders here are sane and they have respect for their citizens. The Govt is giving out $1,500 per fortnight to eligible people who lost their jobs due to Covid-19...and so many other stimulus packages to individuals and businesses to help sustain them through the crisis. I didn't lose my job so didn't get the Covid-19 money, and we generally don't get any welfare payments from the Govt because our household income is way above the threshold. I've been to Nigeria several times and I spent over a month there last year. I still have lots of friends who are doing well in Nigeria even in the midst of the craziness going on; some in govt and some into contracts. I would probably be ok if I returned to Nigeria today, but I value my life and my sanity. No matter how rich you're in Nigeria, you'll always be surrounded by abject poverty and all the third-world country problems. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

dasparrow: Now almost all civil service jobs especially in the health sector (that I'm aware of) are purchased. I don't want to say ALL civil service jobs. The remaining ones that aren't paid for, are offered based on cronyism and nepotism. It's totally unheard of and a taboo, to get civil service employment through a regular recruitment process based on merit. If that happened, something awfully wrong happened somewhere along the line. It's that bad. 1 Like |

Nigeria is for visionaries,not for people who want an easy life.Hundreds of years ago,America,Canada and Australia were all part of the unknown world and you had to be reckless and an adventurer to venture far beyond the shores of Europe.They went from the known to the unknown cos Europe was the only civilized world they knew. Fast forward hundreds of years and Africa is the new unknown.It takes a radical,visionary to live on this continent.You all want to run away but the Indians are cleaning out in this same country in every sector.The Chinese are migrating here in their thousands and all we do is complain. Nigerians still suffer from a 'Spirit of Servitude',always perceiving abroad to be better mostly because they have nothing to offer. Ask not what your country can do for you,but what you can do for your country.Let the sky fall down,we die here.Nothing dey happen anywhere abroad. 3 Likes |

People are always quick to say how much they earn.200k monthly in a government job,2 million a month in an oil company.That is an employee mindset and that person will always remain a commodity to be traded whether abroad or in Nigeria. On the other hand,we have pioneers,risk takers thinking how much value can I create in this economy.Abeokuta is untapped and so is Akure,Makurdi,Ilorin,Awka,Uyo. I have never gone beyond Ore but every time I see pictures of Onitsha or Aba,I just shake my head in awe.The filth is someone's fortune if they can only help the residents to see that human beings shouldn't live like pigs.Aba is a gold mine for urban town planners and so is Mushin,Bariga, Ajegunle and every filthy part of this country. To all of you that keep running away,London was filthy up to the early 1900s and my people had communal baths in the centre of London up till the mid 60s. Inspite of the foolishness that is government, Nigeria is moving forward and only those with eyes can see that. As for me the only thing that will make me migrate from Nigeria is the rapture or death.This is my own promised land. 2 Likes |
