Stop these crazy posts about japa. Start posts on Nigerian Nation building. That's more sane and patriotic at this time. It's a new year and you guys at nairaland should show some new sense. 3 Likes |

Eriokanmi: Oga, this your generalisation nor be here. The 20 billion dollar annual remittance to 9ja goes into what? I don't know of anybody in diaspora that didn't send at least £1,000 to friends and relatives in 9ja just this last December. I am talking of people I know o. The duplex some 9ja based people built in 9ja and do big man with is less than money some diaspora people sent to assist friends and relatives over the past 10 to 15 years. I wrote on the matter in another thread some months ago. Yet the diaspora person may only have a bungalow in 9ja. This is actually an insult because many diaspora people make a great sacrifice to assist those at home. The reason some people block those in 9ja is due the entitlement mentality of some of our people. Imagine a jobless relative or friend in 9ja asking for iPhone 13 when you yourself abroad are managing one Samsung or an older version of iPhone? Perhaps same relative or friend that couldn't run a business you helped them to set up. People in diaspora can also fall on hard times. Job loss, increasing family size, more expenses as kids grow older, etc. So they may not be able to render help every time people ask for it. The attitude is often that if you help 10 times and refuse once, you have never helped. It is either his wicked wife or her husband has stopped them from helping their 9ja family, all his money now goes to his/her in-laws in 9ja, etc. We all hear of the clichéd "stingy uncle in London/America". He has been abroad for 35 years. A common thread on Nairaland. But nobody cares about how the uncle or aunty has been going through life, without the moral support of people he/she grew up with. The same way life happens to many people in 9ja, so it does to many abroad too. Mortgage might not be everybody's thing but all developed societies have used mortgage well. A time will come in 9ja, with our growing population when land use will be more regulated, land becomes very expensive and building regulations will be more rigorously enforced. You cannot just be doing foundation anyhow and anywhere anymore. The high cost of building will make mortgage inevitable. 9ja is not there yet. As for diaspora fear, the real issues may turn out to be those you never envisaged. You can at least brace yourself for things you are already aware of. 8 Likes |

The loneliness is crazy, since I have few people to talk to, I always call people in Nigeria and sometimes they sound disturbed. I practically live on Nigerian time here in Canada. When it’s sleeping time in Nigeria, the loneliness returns. 3 Likes |

Ireality15: My last vacation was on a small island outside Nigeria with them - they visit once in a year depending on their break. I didn't plan to leave Nigeria when i did also, but there was a challenging issue with my first son that needed more money to manage else i left home so i could adequately cater for him. I don't want to go into details, no cure, it's only manageable and could recover to some extent with constant therapy and medication. (It was a health condition caused by the negligence of our doctors). With the help she is getting around families and friends, my wife is able to manage him adequately. That's all i can share. 1 Like |

djseanjohn77: Wow!..... I'm impressed!.... wasn't sure ... kept the family together.... and I do like you having them over to spend vacation while you're on vacation. With them traveling back and forth I'm almost sure should their visa expire before you're ready they give them the max... ten year? Wish you all the best .... stick to your plan.... and focus on family... you temptations here in Sodom and Gomorrah! |
