I don't see myself relocating

deedo93:
Sit down here don't follow the herd. I hope Tomorrow when your kids would ask you where you were when your mates were relocating you won't feel bad.

It truly is not about you being comfortable I.e financial wise. How about your security??

I was in a garden around my area yesterday and started a conversation with a guy. I didn't even know that me and this guy live I the same estate, his house is like 5 houses from mine. He told me that his sister was kidnapped by heavily armed individuals 2 weeks ago and was released after a ransom of 10M was paid. I was so scared because where they picked her and several othersb up was very close to the house. An area of Abuja where the current IG has his family home ( where is wife and kids reside) obviously the area was meant to be safe. I went online to Google just to know if the story was true and I don't even see a post from a regular social media user let alone a news outlet. In my mind the guy was washing me so I started asking random people in the garden if it was true and a few confirmed to me that it was true

I used to be a proponent of "someday Nigeria would get better". I believed so much in Nigeria that I ended a relationship with a lady because she wanted to leave the country so bad and wanted us to live abroad when we got married. I mean i had the means to relocate then but I chose to sit tight and hope it would get better.

My brother the sad truth is that things may never get better especially given the fact that we have several fundamental challenges as a federation that no politician/leader is willing to address.

Right now I'm actively in the process of relocating to a country where I know I'll be a second class citizen but its almost certain that I may never be kidnapped as long as I'm there.

Recently a family friend of ours - a very successful man with lots of properties called to announce their relocation to the UK.

Is this the new success or just a herd mentality?

Stay here and help resolve the Nigeria problem.
Nigeria will always fail its people.
The political structure warrants election of the worst people to preside over the country at any turn.
The fraudulent political structure was created between 1967-1996 by northern soldiers who created 19 states in one region but 17 states in two regions. The fraudulent political structure of 36 states with 19 in the old Northern region obstructs the southern presidential candidates when north supports a presidential candidate. There should have been more states in the old southern regions than in the northern region. In countries formed by diverse regions, land mass or population figures is never used as criterion to proliferate too many new federating units like states in a region with larger land mass or population.

Vintage100:
The real rich people don't relocate abroad. No Nigerian billionaires and millionaires relocate abroad. Will people like Adeleke, otedola, Arthur Eze, Obi Cubana for instance relocate abroad?? To do what?? They only go their for businesses and vacations.

rickpat:
no. .stay and build your NIGERIA is the real success

Depending on the country but I no go lie for you, abroad sweet if you get the right papers and u de do legit things. I like Niger I no go lie for you but circumstances make men change their mind. Abroad is not that eldorado. Atimes it can be very boring I mean very boring if you are the social type and you meet in countries where it is mind your business but in all if don change my passport and make money, I de come back. I miss Niger food, vibes, preaching and evangelism etc. but he de easier to go heaven from abroad than for Niger oo coz small small sins like gossiping, malice, unnecessary hatred etc. wey big pass fornication no de here

occfx:


Everthing about Nigeria is fraud... The foundation is not solid, building on it its almost impossible. Needs total collapsing and setting the foundation right. Unfortunately, it's not something one person or minority can do. The majority been idiots and deciding the destiny of the country therefore, the only option left is to japa

Jayphoenix45:
When you see the happenings around you, you will understand their joy of this relocation thingy. Imagine the pain the family of that lawyer and thousands of southern kaduna families are feeling this period due to the high death rate in the country. Being successful is a good thing but being successful in an environment that supports instead of reduce you makes it better. How many hospitals rejected the woman who was shot yesterday before she finally died? Will that happen in the place they are right now? Make your checks and maybe you will understand the euphoria of their relocation.

KingAzubuike:

So America or UK where anybody can just grab a rifle, stroll to the nearest mall and start spraying people bullet. Or where you sitted on your own and someone knife attacks you. You have a higher chance of dying in America self than in nigeria..

Enemyofpeace:
like they killed the Lagos lawyer Bolanle Raheem on Christmas day?

Orch1981:

Lies

IbeOkehie:


Not true at all. Just Boko Haram, herdsmen and unkown gunmen alone makes your statement a LIE.

KingAzubuike:

Sit down there. Someone pulling a gun on your head and robbing you is more prevalent in shirty USA and UK. Police brutality will compete with that of Nigeria too. America is a very dangerous country. Gun violence everywhere.

It depends on the individual and what they got where they are going to. For instance I was invited to apply for permanent residency under the Canadian express entry program. I applied and the application was approved after about one year. It granted me access to the Canadian job market and I got a software engineering job at a US company which had some of its development teams in Toronto. I moved to Toronto a few weeks after and started earning barely two weeks after while also working on some interesting process automation projects. I consider it a career progression.
I don’t see it as relocation per say because if a similar opportunity/offer was available to me in Nigeria I’ll probably have been in Nigeria today
