SnowJay92:One diaspora guy explained it all in one post. He said those who have nothing to lose in 9ja, they can travel. Not those already settled into good jobs. I certainly was not in the poorer category in 9ja. I could have done all my degrees in 9ja paid for by family. Like my friends did. Or come for only post grad abroad if I knew better. It took much hardship to do it all. But we are not arresting those who want to travel anyhow. They are free to. 1 Like |

Livefreeordieha:Your Right, I'm in DMV, DC to be exact and our monthly rent is $1,500 , a lot of ppl will thinnk its a lie in Nigeria, but its one of the cheapest for a safe gentrified tiny apartment in DC. So yes, monthly rent here is what they pay yearly in Nigeria. Remember, if you don't have papers you can get a job that's pays you enough to pay such rent, so you may have to live in a dangerous plaCe where you'll be dodging bullets and police raids constantly! 8 Likes 1 Share |

I'm not living abroad but I kind of understand why those that are there feel it is necessary to fill those intending to come over in on everything before they take the leap. Sure, a bit of their motivation is selfish (because they know if you come over and start facing difficulties, it's most likely them you'll run to for bailouts and they have their own troubles to deal with already) but then they have gone through the experience and know what it is like first hand so they wouldn't want anyone also to just blindly hop on a plane, thinking that all they have to do is show up to enjoy a better life. Even people that live in cities here in Nigeria do the same thing for those living in rural areas. They know life is challenging and things can get so bad that you would be forced to do things you normally wouldn't just to survive. They also know first hand that some Nigerians would struggle to fit into foreign societies coming from ours due to language barrier and cultural dissonance. They don't want to have to hold your hands to guide you through learning to live in a new society because they have lives and things to do and also they don't want to see you come and fail and go back home disappointed. So they tell you everything they think you should know so that if you still insist on moving, your mind would be prepared for the realities you would meet. 5 Likes |

Jman06: Nigeria might not be such a rosy place but trust me, it is much easier to survive here. We complain about how bad the Nigerian system is not knowing it favors a lot of us - A LOT. We don't pay as much in taxes as lots of the countries people are running to. You may not earn much here but it's easier to survive on the little you earn. I have had cause to compare the costs of accommodation and transportation in Nigeria and a few developed and even fellow African countries and even now that things are extremely bad here, we still have it cheaper. Cost of healthcare? Education? All these things are much cheaper here. Sure, the quality may not be up to what you would get in, say, the US or UK but trust me the same treatment for malaria that we take for granted here and the federal universities we keep complaining about are waaaay cheaper than trying to get services of an equivalent quality abroad. 4 Likes |

bjhaid: Some times ehn, it's necessary to tell people worst case scenario so they can make informed decisions. It's not about discouraging anyone - it's more about letting them know exactly how bad it can get because they already know how good it can get. It's basically just balancing it up. 5 Likes |

bebe2: Hmmnn, my take. Anyone asking for direction to travel abroad is neither ready nor ripe for such trip. I get amused when I read question like "Can I study in xyz country and pay my fees while hustling?". Someone wrote about Tanzania recently and was amused seeing Nigerians asking how they can go to hustle there, one of the poorest countries in the world. At this Internet age, there are lots of information out that any serious potential traveller can easily get. There are so many countries that are willing to take immigrants but must have the financial means to do so. No country want economic refugees. There are no jobs every where, so these countries are more interested in immigrants that could create jobs. By the grace of God, I have been opportuned to have travelled widely and from my experience I won't encourage those who wants to illegally stay in a foreign country. My first statement, usually is "do you know it is a criminal offense to fall sick as an illegal migrant?". In as much as it is not a criminal offence it is just to drive home the point that it would be hard to get medical attention when critically required. Anyone that wants to migrate should do it with the confines of the law. Maybe 10 years ago, the risk could be worth taking but now, it's a "No, no". I get amused when I read questions like this one below: specialmati: You're yet to be told what you wanted to hear. Your pastor and U.K friend have advised you yet you're here, still asking the same question. Chances of making it in Europe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvSOR_7oeC4 9 Likes |

lovelygurl: This is what intending migrants expect from people abroad not the usual cliche that people throw around by discouraging people from coming over there. I expect them to make intending migrant to understand the pros and cons of coming over there then leave the decision to the intending imigrant to make. Instead what you here is "it is not easy, if you can eat and survive you should stay there". Nobody believes its easy anywhere but with the its not easy, its not easy. How many times has anybody left there because its not easy. How many of them has come back home empty handed. They should stop the cliche of its not easy, its not easy. Which one is better: Hard work over there with something to show for it or easy work here with nothing to show for it. Nobody says its easy. 1 Like |
