This is a sad reality honestly.

Reality hit me recently when my sister and her family moved to the UK, I was happy for her and at the same time feel sad how the hardship in the country made people depart from their loved ones and the worst is you aren’t sure if you will ever be able to see each other again but can only communicate on phone.

Studying outside Nigeria myself I knew how it was difficult for me being apart from my family and loved ones, imagine relocating to another country permanently with no family, friends etc.

It scares me to think my parents might never see their grand children if I relocate, with the insecurity in Nigeria there is high probability Nigerians in diaspora might avoid Nigeria.

The worst of it all is that people think it’s an achievement to depart from family and be hustling in a white man’s land.

You dey mind them. How many state indigenes can afford to own homes in VI,Ikoyi, Lekki, Magodo, Ikeja??

i was working at a big 4 audit firm in Nigeria. Went to Canada and worked for the same company. Along with many people i know. Currently work in an international bank lol. On a monthly basis i am saving times 3 of the net salary i got in Nigeria. Next year i will qualify for citizenship in Canada. I can still come back to Nigeria to take finance manager or CFO jobs paying over 2m a month. So tell me was i not wise to relocate If Nigeria burns or goes to war lets say i move back. Canada will come rescue me. If i fall ill i wont need gofund me or donations with my Canada passport lol.

I'm doing well in Nigeria and a professional. I can't relocate to wash dead corpse upon sleepless nights like your useless self is currently suffering in abroad. Lmao. Only poor irrelevant Nigerians like u relocate, that's the truth. Lol

I mean families are being separated daily due to economic migration from Nigeria to overseas because the country isn't working.

They're many lonely wives separated from their husbands who work abroad

Brothers are separated from their brothers and sisters because they've gone to seek for greener pastures

Some parents haven't seen their children for years because they've gone for greener pastures


You don't see Americans, British or Dutch people separating from their families just to work in Africa.


Why is everything the opposite for Africans.

Funny a thing the black Africans count it as an achievement to migrate to a white man's country and abandoning his own root to rot away.

Was the black man created on a sunny day?

Actually Nigerians are overdoing it and see it as an achievement. I know two families who relocated recently using their wives student visa with no intention of coming back.

They sold all their properties and ran off like they were being chased. The next thing is to start snapping pictures and posting on SM.

Guess what, they left their almost comfortable lifestyle in Nigeria to live in a room’s apartment. One of the husbands got a job as a factory worker and his wifey is trying to hold unto her 20 hours per week job.

Dude is complaining bitterly and regretting that he shouldn’t have travelled with the kids first. Nigerians just love to practice the bandwagon’s effect.

Owopariola001:


I understand where you're coming from, but this situation is inevitable.

Check it very well, the people that are "doing well" will not think of relocating abroad permanently to the extent of forgetting their home country.

But see the "poor" Nigerians? To them, if they leave Naija, there is nothing left to call home. It's like how the Irish and Chinese migrated to the USA in the mid-1800s to mid-early 1900s.
Many of these immigrants' children are now Americans and no longer care about their "original" countries anymore.

ednut1:
There are Americans, dutch ,indians, chinese etc all over the world who don't go to their home countries regularly. I once stayed in the guest house of a client in port harcourt and met a mexican man there. He has not been to Mexico in 7 years and has even been kidnapped once in Nigeria. But he no go back because he is earning good as an expat here. So whats the big deal if Nigerians do same What is the point of seeing your families or wife when una dey suffer or facing uncertain future ehn A man who can’t provide for his family wont have a family for long. Less than 5% of Nigerians are outside Nigeria too

What is the point of seeing your families or wife when una dey suffer or facing uncertain future ehn

You don't need an eye glass to recognize Tinubu/APC supporters.
Hating those who escape from the Nigeria poverty they set for everyone is one of the symptoms.

That is the sad reality of our day. Many families even end up falling apart after migration. The fear, anxiety, confusion, anger, emotional trauma are better imagined than experienced.

A parent abandoned their 2 years old son and came back after 13 years. The conversation between them was embarrassing and heart breaking.
Will the family separations stop? No. Is it worthwhile? Many only realize after the damage has been done.

Our greatest needs are for things that money cannot buy​—namely, love, emotional security, and family unity.

His was wishing only, those who are making it possible are there. Steal all the funds and you mean progress, you use quota system you mean equity, etc. You get the product of what you brew.

quentin06:
Its the way the whites want it, have you asked yourself of the millions spent on developmental projects in the last 50 years all over africa, what came of it? Nothing.

They want our children to go over there and slave for them , they have to make here look like hell so that our children can go over there and never return. Its too bad people here dont care.

Juoflife1:
Some white people live in the same country and still have wack relationship with their families. Nigerians try to maintain relationship with their families when they travel. Nigerians dey try abeg. If you look at it again, this life is everybody on their own. Make what you can and leave the rest. Technology has also made it easy to stay connected.
Home is where you make it, not necessarily when you come back to Nigeria.

VeeVeeMyLuv:

Yes I agree they are average.... But comfortable! They can enjoy the little pleasures of life that are fast becoming a luxury in naija. But here if u are not the friend, family, cronies, girlfriend, sidechick, loyalist, associate, partners and what have you, the system will not allow you to live a reasonable life.

Your thread has a nice topic to debate on but from your responses you sound too bitter and insulting, everyone must not have your perspective. That you're a professional and earning good money doesn't mean every other person is. You are lucky and should be grateful instead of insulting people's endeavor to survive this harsh environment. Try and tone down your response.
Peace.
