Another thread to bash Nigeria. I agreed with you Op. People see some of us that have decided to stay as very insane. I had my kids in US and the person my wife stayed with in US havE been asking us the same question: What are you people still doing in Nigeria? Me and my wife are not the abroad-living type. I told her since I have worked hard to give double citizenship to my kids, there is no need for me to move and start life afresh.

Let me shock you. Do you know that 23 of my former colleagues have all relocated to Canada. I am sure COVID-19 is delaying some from making this move. These people that are moving are well to do people, earning well. It shows the hopelessness of the country. People move, leaving their high paying job mostly because of their kids. They want their kids to have better opportunity in future. The working class that are moving are not sure if there kids would be lucky as them. Secondly, people move because of insecurity and other social upheavals in Nigeria.

It is not that l like the status quo here. I still like my freedom, the prospect of growth, my extended family and the possibility of being "king" in my own jungle grin. Probably, if I didn't have my kids abroad, I would have considered the migration route just because of them. But for now, I dey kampe here undecided

We all have what makes us think Nigeria in unfit for us.If you have no reason to move then there is no need moving.So your case is normal



Look at the education system,lecturers intentionally fail students.You read read and read but still get a C or D grade.Ever wondered why Nigerians go abroad to bag first class??

How about our erratic power supply.Even Ghana has stable power supply than us.

A lot of Nigerians complain of being broke,why? There is not enough job for people in the labour market.But abroad,if you are not lazy then you'll know there are too many jobs available!

Police brutality and harassment,Politicians diverting our money,poor standard of living,Bad roads,rigging of votes,lack of security,high crime rates...


I can go on and on but these are things you know too.But If all these are not affecting you,then it's normal not to consider moving to a saner clime.But for people that are being affected greatly,to move is not a choice but a must!

It is good there are still people like you. If everybody was trying to leave, it would make things a lot more difficult for people like me who is trying to emigrate.

op if you like don't grab the opportunity nah u sabi...........for one month now i have been jumping from one scholarship thread,websites to another.

Bro, please can we chat. How does these scholarships work?
Re: Why Is Everyone Advising Everyone To Run From Nigeria? by Damian457: 6:56pm On Nov 13, 2020
Agreed except the Visit visa part... Any which way is way bro. Visiting for US is different for other countries. A USA Visiting visa can land you permanent residency if you’re smart by falling in love in the USA.
I don’t see why a young unmarried person of less than 35years with a US visiting visa shouldn’t utilize the opportunity. Not everybody have the funds for tuition, not everybody can get scholarships.
Our pathways are different. Some ppl even leave Nigeria with permanent residency self others go as Visitors or Student and hustle their ways into the system.
The bottom line of everything is LEAVE THIS HELL HOLE IF YOU HAVE ANY OPPORTUNITY


Kenn55:
@Op, i don't know how old you are. If you are old enough, look back at Nigeria in 2000, look at Nigeria in 2010, Look at Nigeria today then with that pattern, see how Nigeria will be in 2030 etc. That lies your answer.

For people who come from shitholes like Nigeria, having a second citizenship or permanent residence in a sane country is never a bad investment. It is very risky to have Nigeria as your only country. Even your politicians and your big men know this. Their children all have options

Immigration is getting tougher now. If you have what it takes to migrate legally, do it now because in the years to come it is going to be worse. I know someone who had all it takes to legally migrate in 2015 but was carried away with 500k salary, he is regretting it now. If he needed 3m then to make the move then, he now needs 6m to make the same move now. Naira is losing value. Sadly, The value of 500k of today is like 250k of 5 years ago. So if you were earning say 250k 5 years ago and you are earning 500k today, you are still almost at the same spot.

However, i must warn that if you do not have what it take to make a legitimate immigration move, it is better to stay in Nigeria. In fact, in this case, Nigeria would be better than abroad. Don't go with visit visa and expect to maneuver your way, sorry will be your name and you go suffer tire and you will regret it. I don't support this craze of traveling by all means getting more prevalent in Nigeria now. I understand the country is getting worse but it is still better for people who can't migrate legally to remain in Nigeria than getting themselves into a bigger mess abroad. Btw, by abroad, i mean first world countries because no be all abroad na abroad.
