Ishilove:But it's usually greener sha, with only few exceptions. Most people based in Western countries don't want to return to Nigeria permanently, despite the claim made by a few of them that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Nobody wants to suffer in this hellhole of a country. 44 Likes 5 Shares |

They are suffering, they are suffering, but if you tell them to return home, they will act like you wished death upon them I cannot take them seriously until they start craving to come home. Because bad as e be in the abroad, it cannot be worse than how it is here 114 Likes 4 Shares |

Most of us fail to appreciate what these guys that do legal jobs abroad go through.My heart bleed the day I saw a young Nigerian in one of the Asian countries selling Akara (bean cake) from a travelling bag slung over his shoulder.He let me into the amount of pressure and expection from those back home.Time we get to appreciate the fact that the grass is not greener on the other side. 19 Likes 1 Share |

The problem with African pple is that we're too shallow and mediocre in our thinking. Most 9ja pple residing abroad (Western world / developed nations) come back home to live a premium lifestyle they can hardly afford. You see them devour a 12-mth saving within a matter of a 2-week vacation in 9ja. Just imagine! ![]() live/measure-up to the "just-arrived" hype. No be by force. ![]() They come back home to 9ja and can't go back to that wretched 'face-me-I-face-you' abode they once lived in (where their parents and families still live). They move around with an entourage... a personal driver, 'vampire' friends/relatives et al... they can't deal with the shame of seeing their fellow friends that never left 9ja doing great... so they feel the need to at least match-up. They give the folks back home in 9ja a delusional impression of an imaginary luxury life they live abroad... who now in turn, expect so much from them. Of course, they got to live up to the hype. Above all.... majority of the culprits are those doing menial/odd jobs living on meager incomes. They're usually like that.. the poorer they are, the dumber they behave. It's called "Poverty Mentality" ! After all is said and done, they go back with huge debt and bills awaiting them... ( I trust 'dem dem' for there) ![]() ![]() 52 Likes 5 Shares |

This are the kind of tales this abroad people tell to persuade us to remain in this shithole but tell them to relocate to Nigeria and they will cuss you out. You'll see some of them that has lived in America for 30 years without stepping foot in Nigeria. Who are you guys deceiving? 21 Likes |

Not very true. There are bills, in fact lots of bills but you are able to pay if you are not lazy. Opportunities are there if you are ready to work hard. However if you put the same effort in whatever you are doing in Nigeria, you will still make it. 44 Likes 3 Shares |

All these tales ain't true You can't compare life abroad to Nigeria For example, something as little as steady and free internet in America or Europe is enough to change your life for good if you know how to harness the opportunity internet offers. When they said there is money in the streets of America, they actually meant it. But it comes as opportunities which you have to harness. As for these ones quoting me and spewing trash high up in the air. I have nothing to tell y'all Just travel and see 18 Likes 2 Shares |
