Now this is just Lagos, other states in Nigeria is far far cheaper, I agree that security is an issue in Nigeria, this is due to the endemic poverty prevalent around. If you want to be contented with your wealth, you can setup a foundation and that will give you contentment.

Also in advanced countries, security is also an issue. France isn't safe, gun violence in the states, robberies in UK, maybe swiss is better.

Also you don't get to pay for Gas, TV and so much of what the advanced countries tax their citizens.

While discussing with some buddies yesterday, we touched on the topic “moving back to Nigeria”. I argued that Nigeria is not safe. Sure, there are places that are pretty “safe”. However, my notion of safety is when other people elsewhere can go about their normal activities without fear. For instance, I don’t consider a place safe if one part of the area keeps suffering repeated attacks from Fulani herdsmen (like Southern Kaduna and Plateau). I don’t have to be the affected party, but others who go about their normal activities should feel safe doing them. The other guy countered that, with money, one could enjoy Nigeria. “Live in Maitama, run Lister generator and live quietly.” Also, you get to be in a place where almost everyone looks like you.

Upon hearing “…with money, one can enjoy Nigeria”, I asked him to list five things/ways one can enjoy Nigeria as long as the person has money. Surprisingly, he could not mention one thing/way. I thought it wise to throw it to the house, especially for those who are anti-Japa or those who have stayed abroad for a long time and currently reside in Nigeria.

As someone with money, what exactly does the person enjoy in Nigeria? What are the differences compared to his/her counterpart in say, Namibia or Canada/UK that also has money? How do you enjoy Nigeria provided the money is available?

P.S. I understand that the notion of “enjoyment” is largely subjective. Some enjoy going to parties, while others enjoy travelling around or even reading a book while in a park. But I believe there are some universal notions of enjoyment.

You’re not seeing long term & your children can be pulled back into middle class or below middle class
This was what happen to my father
What if your child wants to be a footballer, he’d be stuck in this poverty promoting society
Do you know how many dreams or Leo messi’s this country has consumed
We don’t have a stable economy
Your strong currency ten years ago has been devalued, you may think you’re rich but leave the country first all thanks to bad policies
Ok o , pray none of your loved ones need emergency world class operation.
The country can be named 99 ways to kill someone
Don’t say what you don’t know with regards to security. People travel daily to other parts of the country for school, work or business by road & get kidnapped
There was a retired general in the Air Force that was kidnapped and murdered few years ago
He was the number one military man in Nigeria while still active in service.
His name is Badeh
Just pray bad event don’t befall your family
UK don cast o, whose talking of UK

SPAMBOX7:
Which politician japa. Person go just jump waa enter convo

GloriousGbola:
To be frank no one is guaranteed health in Nigeria.

Covid made that clear. But even without covid, people who require emergency services will die. Blocked road, insufficient hospital infrastructure, you name it.

It happens all the time.

It is why I cannot understand people thinking they can jog at night or ride bikes on roads. Once you are in any critical injury with a narrow treatment window, you are gone.

Tinyemeka:


I'll save your post.

I've been saying I'm planning towards returning back to Nigeria in the future, but acquaintances have refused to agree with my viewpoint.

headboyprince:


Just like politicians right??....all Nigerians think alike that's why this country will never get better tufiawaka

Ignorance is not wealth

EgunMogaji2:
I pondered this question as I laid down on Lagos Ibadan Expressway at the hands of Mr. Akinwale Ogunmodede who hit me and ran away. For all returnees like me please have an absolute contingency for emergency healthcare.

I’m very lucky to be alive and eternally thankful. Many returnees are not so lucky.

Even the medical professionals will “size you up” and bill you accordingly.

honestly they are doing but are overwhelmed! Yesterday 200 boko haram fighter where killed in Bama, 38 bandit in kaduna and 140 in zamafara airstrike . The main problem is not looking at the root causes of this problem . Over 2000 boko haram fighter have been eliminated but within months they regroup and recruit. Cos in the North over 10m kids are on the streets with no education or care. Futher more with over 100m poor citizen's cramp in Nigeria insecurity and desperation will kick In.

My unrequested opinion.

Die any idea of moving to Nigeria.

Retire to your home country and at best come to Nigeria for vacations.

ratiken:
The rich is Nigeria don’t even know how to enjoy their wealth. Mostly liqour, women and status activities.

What happens to exploring the globe in a yatch?
What happens to traveling and learning other cultures?

What exactly is the enjoyment?
