Most Nigerians especially Igbos see the idea of moving back to their hometown as a defeat. If the City (for instance Lagos) becomes very difficult, I don't see anything wrong in relocating. There are people there afterall.

What are your thoughts on this?

although not a failure but surely a STEP BACK... and most would look down on "step backs"

kcdendelo:
Relocating to your village makes one lazy. obviously you will be living in your father's house and that hussling spirit will just die off

That's a lie bro.
I'm using myself as a case study

BoldBrainz:
If you're not relocating to the village at an age that is considered to be your inactive years where rest and peace of mind is the prime focus, Oga you are a failure!

Trash.

I know countless people in my village that spent some years in the city and achieve nothing but there story changed when they relocate back to the city.

There is this man that owe a plaza in my community he didn't have anything when he was in the city but he came back to villa as a palmwine tapper, now even those in the city envy him because his money is long.
He is still into palmwine tapping but in a big way and owe a big supermarket inside the plaza he built.

Let me not even talk about myself because I'm still struggling to make it, not as if I'm begging for food now but there is a level I will reach before I know I have make it in life.

I long made my point. If you feel disgruntled about it, that's your funeral, Son.

YelloweWest:
Moving to the village is a no no pls.

Allow village people test their juju on themselves.

Except you are one of them

Too much of Nollywood movies has eat part of your brain

Who is your son?

Omoh village dey pass village. Like me that work remotely ever since I finished uni, I don't see the reason I will have to be wasting money yearly to pay house rent when I can comfortable live the life I want in the village.

BTW, some strangers are leaving their communities to relocate to my village to hustle and make it big in life. I don't see the reason I should leave my village when it doesn't limit my hustle rather it broad it.

adebayo987:
Right ... The reason is that.

1. No good road
2. No constant electricity
3. No clean water
4. No waste management
5. No good internet (mostly 2G networks are installed by network providers) in the village
6. Low population (would result to poor patronising if doing business)
7. If doing business, cost of transportation will make you make less profit. Sometimes things stay and spoil in your shop due to very low patronage and if it becomes expensive, nobody will buy because there are alternatives and enduring/ultra managing minds in the village.
8. No security (especially if you're known as a wealthy person)


However, the village is good for retirement or to have a peace of mind. It's also a place to go and hide from the rest of the world (especially hiding from unwanted guests and visits).

This your point is only valid for those from timid village unlike my community that is just less that 25 mins drive to capital city

Like I said earlier village dey pass village.

Most of all these things you mentioned I haven't experienced such ever since I relocated back to villa. May be because my community is close to capital city and some strangers are living with us.
I first experienced Glo 4g in the villa before it reached where I was living in the city then
The only network that shows 2g/3g in my villa is Etisalat. The rest are full 4g anywhere you go either in the forest, cave or mountain

You're confusing town with village. Your place is a town and no longer a village. A place closer to the city that's having some city facilities like stable electricity, water, standard internet and even moving businesses is no longer a village. Simply because you hail from the place doesn't mean it's a village. What about the geographical indigenes of cities like Port Harcourt, Abuja, Uyo, Ikeja, etc., would they call the city their village? Maybe yes if they can't differentiate village from city or town.

Ok now I understand your point.
May be I won't call my place village because all those timid and backward lifestyle doesn't exist here.

My bad though.

Who no come no go know.
Relocate pls.

It's about the economy not the people.

Moving back to village is good option.
First visit your village and see how things can work out.
Plan well.

I have seen people that returned back to the village and did by far better than when they lived in the city.
Hard work and determination is important to be successful.

Pootle:
people are running away from village people, but you wan go near them abi u wan join village meeting, i mean that meeting

Some people will never understand

Edoziesmart:

Ok

Royalroz:
Some of these Lagosians you see would have faired very well if they move back to their villages and apply same energy for hustling. Besides villages ain't really villages anymore.

This is SO not true. Witchcraft in the village is so rampant, Jason Statham, John Wick and Rambo (First Blood) order of skills will be required to just stay alive, not to speak of build a business and thrive.

Lol

Exmilitant:
Nah bro. I am also a witch. A wicked one!

Honestly, if i have a village i would have relocated for the comfort, quiet and slow paced life.
The hustle and bustle of PH city is killing me.

So you no get village

nicemom:

So you no get village

Portharcourt no be village again.

There is nothing to be thinking about it, it is what it is.
When ones you are back in Ur village,.u are totally relegated, defeated and u can't do it anymore. U failed except on old age wanted to meet the ancestors death"

Because that's what it is

then what will you say about us in Lagos

2RUTHHURTS:
Even God instructed Abraham to leave his father's land to be blessed, same way Joseph was blessed in a foreign land, Esther the same.

God just told me it's not true. He never instructed any abraham to leave his father's land. He is complaining that people just use his name anyhow.

brother it's like we don't have choice but I'm already planning on moving to a quiet state. This place is hell

Anyone who works from home probably online and ardours serenity shouldn't be found in places like Lagos.
If your hustle permits bro, look for a quiet spot to reside. Nature is supreme.

I envy you bro. I never lived in the village and i desperately long for the Nigerian village calm life.
I want to hear the cock crowing in the morning.

you're absolutely right bro. Nothing beats quiet environment. I lived in Dline when I was in ph and I still miss the quiet environment. Lagos is too crowded and noisy but it's a place to hustle

PH, Lagos, Aba, Owerri, Onitsha, Akwa everywhere you go there are unimaginable number of people struggling for survival. Where dem come from?
