@ erico2k2

I be woman ooh not a man , and yes I hear you about the embezzlement issues that have torn this nation apart. I don't have a problem with Nigerians who want to remain abroad my own is that, If you are going to criticize and condemn, when you are done criticizing please offer or provide a solution.

The solution doesn't need to be on a grand scale, it can be in a simple and personal way such as drilling a bore hole for your community people in Naija, sending good quality medicines back home for common ailments like cold, cough, fever etc

Just do what you can, wherever you are as your quota and leave the bigger issues that are out of your power. Someone said something about self preservation and selflessness. Selflessness for me is a matter of choice ooh! I can choose to be kind and compassionate with the little I have now or wait until I am rich or have big bucks in my account.

Come to think of it has anyone noticed how rich people in this part of the world tend to be stingy? My point is: don't wait till you get that great job, have more money etc etc, before you perform an act of kindness or selflessness towards your country or at least the citizens of your home state be it in Kaduna, Abia, Kogi etc.

Wallie:


I said selflessness in regards to coming back to Nigeria and setting up shop. I completely agree that one does not have to wait until one becomes wealthy before lending a helping hand. Even though I’m not in Nigeria, I do have a charity that I contribute to, United for Kids Foundation, that helps kids in need. The people running the charity are here in the US but also in Nigeria and UK.

erico2k2:

your last statement dwaffs the subject matter, read what the OP said,WHY ARE YOU STILL ABROAD>? so give your reasons do you have one?

claremont:

People often wrongly define and misuse what the word "home" is. Personally, my "home" is wherever I can have peace of mind pursuing my goals (career, social, emotional) in life; it may be in where I was born, or it may be in another country. Human beings have always migrated in search of the proverbial greener pastures, and there is no crime if a person chooses to spend the rest of his life in the land of Canaan, rather than going back to Egypt! Personally, I would rather remain in Canaan which has provided me with opportunities to be the best, than go back to face King Pharoah and his horde of soldiers.

This issue of abroad again na wao, u na just like to dey flogged this issue, abeg no be by force na, the truth is our people in abroad will never come back because the govt is not improving. our people can still be able to endure the cold weather and their economic recession and inflation than coming here.all i will say is that if u want to stay in abroad u can stay till and have your fun with the condition, if u want to come Niger please plan and come but i know u may soon go back, because these leaders are not even trying to solve some of the immediate problems of this nation.the real TRUTH is their is  no perfect place in the world right now, But on the other hand, one thing i love so much about my country (Nigeria) is that you have the freedom to do what pleases u without the fear of immigration or any police, if you drive your car move about with respect from people, u command respect in your home,feel free to do what u want,u are happy with your people,i can work in niger only 8am-4.30pm mon - friday and still earn 200k-400k or 150-200k monthly without the 24hrs work been done in abroad, i can also discipline my children if they misbehave without d children calling the police on their fathers or calling me * dad* for no reason,i can PICK UP a call at my office/work without any penalty unlike those in the US, i can work and still get leave allowance/bonus to pay my rent and increment in pay without the racism issue,also maintain my family and car with what i earn,get access to loan to build my own house with a little percentage being deducted from my salary, unlike in abroad where half of people's salary is almost gone on monthly house rent,taxes,bills etc, and to get a loan u must be a citizen and be recognized by the govt,.how can one plan or save?, i can get additional daily income of 10k from the opening of a big viewing centers/restaurant where my niger people can relax at the weekend watching premier league matches.  I can cut my cloth according to my size if the houses around the estate is too expenses, i can live closer to an estate in a clean 2 bedroom flat for 250k per annum, I can also send my child to a good school as well,as per the hose rent i can use my leave allowance to offset that, atleast that affords me to pay at the end of the year and not monthly, with that i will still have enough to enjoy life.an income  support of 150k from wife is ok.we can plan to save enough for our future and also take a trip to the uk and US for holidays, with these i see no reason why i will like to stay or be a second citizen anywhere in the world, love u guys.

NRI PRIEST:

@erico2k2,no anger issues hommie but am sure u got a glimpse of why am so frustrated wif naija. And its not like easy here especially when u aint got papers,so i wanna come home but i dont want people to kidnap me thinking am well loaded.

Finecat:

Nonsense! I will rather be a second class citizen in the USA than a slave in my own father land. How many Nigerian graduates can boast of all nonsense this poster just vomited without some high powered connections?? Your children's future are being taken away from them on daily basis. A country that based her only revenue on oil, will the oil be there tomorrow?? And half of that revenue are being siphoned away by politicians. I will rather have my child call police on me than a system that rob them of a future. If you earn N200K in Nigeria, is that job secured?? How long will it take you to get another one like that if you lose that job?? Nigerians are so short sighted.

erico2k2:

lol We are waiting 4 his responce,

ronkebp:

The whole idea is acheiving something positive and living a decent life, financially and otherwise, wherever you are; home or abroad.

iwemfoo:

I'm just here waiting for the BNP to come into power and send us all back 'where we came from'

Seriously I do want to come back later just want to do the work now so when I come back I can be comfortable because life in nigeria is expensive,  I mean basic amenities like electricity, healthcare, water etc.


But I'm there every year and I love my country and i've kept my roots, not one of the lost ones!

JamesDoe:

Come back home to face:

- GEJ
- Boko Haram
- Kidnapping
- MEND
- OPC
- MASSOB
- Armed robbery
- Bank redundancies
- NEPA
- Flooding
- Lecturers looking to sleep with your children
- Extreme poverty and gangster state governors
- Lying employers who skip paying your salary
- Yeye Govt officials who wouldn't give you the right documents to start a business
- Seasonal and annual ethnic cleansing
- etc

Which of the above should we come back to meet?

Galaxy7:

You have nothing to wary about,just come back first.
