Its better not to return bro. Believe me.

Truth is, Nigeria isn't worth it.

How old are you? Wait until you are old na.....

And all those people who have returned and living in Naija are what?

Lack of money could be the issue....

It's well

Did the leaders drop from the sky?

My grandfather was a brave man, he was only afraid of idiots, I asked him why, and he answered :Because there are too many of them and by being a majority they could even elect a president --- FACUNDO CABRAL


That is exactly what Nigerians did... We had other young aspirants

You're free to create a topic on that

I am guessing that the list of reasons to that topic will be seriously and hilariously endless.

Suspectzero:
Most importantly...Nigeria is a Shithole!

Bigger version of Aba in Abia State, right?

This is an ipob thread. All of them want to join dilector abload.

Nigeria is not as bad as you portray.. I have been away for over 8years now, and the reason is lack of electricity,thats our major problem.. Believe me many country won't survive if they don't have constant electricity... So our government need to fix that first and believe me 80percent of Nigerians abroad will go back home.. No place like home

You have a point but went overboard with your 80%.

Just to point out - young does not necessarily mean better, afterall we've seen what the likes of Yahaya bello are doing.

At the end of the day, it is up to people to demand for right leadership and this doesn't even start from the presidency but the basics like the local govt, law makers etc. Sitting down and calling the place a s***hole won't change anything, that was my point.

ednut1:
What of those stuck in nigeria

no money or visa yet to leave the shithole

olujastro:
The actual reasons Nigerians find themselves stuck abroad are:

1. Nigerians are getting more criminal by the day, especially those doing drug trafficking abroad, and continuously ruining the already dented image of the Nigerian passport. So good Nigerians abroad want to acquire another passport first

2. Crime is increasing in Nigeria by the day so those abroad don't want to return and get kidnapped.

3. Lastly, Nigeria still lacks basic amenities that should make life comfortable.

Or get killed. Remember that US soldier who was murdered upon visiting Nigeria

you read that statement "when majority are idiots" that is when useless leaders are elected and the place becomes a shiithole meeeeennnhhh...

Money

I can’t imagine a well paid American resident going from making millions a month to making small change (by comparison) . Yes even the high paid Nigerians who aren’t stealing are making change money.

THE MAJOR GREAT REASONS:
SECURITY --
ELECTRICITY
ROADS
WATER
HEALTH CARE

Okay, you all can sit and be screaming s***hole all over the place. It's your business.

For me its will be these 2 reasons for me:

1. PayPal receiving cash
2. Not in Nigeria so more trusted freelance jobs remotely

This country is a shit.hole

Ayoefa:
Most can't return simply because they lack the financial capability to live the kind of lifestyle that they currently live in abroad. A lot will have to start from scratch, buying or building a house, getting a job etc. If most can afford to live a decent life in Nigeria, they will move back in a jiffy.

You see them online looking like they are living big, but that is a facade that is masquerading the real struggle if living abroad.

Are you speaking for yourself or people you know or think you know?

I think you are missing the point. The kind of 'lifestyle' you mentioned doesnt take a millionaire to live in developed countries.

Lifestyles such as good amenities, health care system that works, good educational and transportation system, adequate security, decent accommodation, banking system that doesn't extort, rule of law that works etc...are largely considered BASIC in the developed countries.

However, that doesn't mean things are perfect but if you want to compare struggles, you have lost the debate before it even starts.

sweetmelanin:
These are some general reasons why a lot of Nigerians abroad are unlikely to return home:

▪︎Being Estranged from Family

The longer you stay abroad, the easier it is to lose ties with family over time. This is could be for a number of reasons, mainly being that people naturally just grow apart ... however, many of us unfortunately have a lot of relatives back home who see us as nothing but a means to an end ... there are many betrayal stories of people being scammed by called family members and even cases of witchcraft.. lol.

▪︎Inability to Adapt to the Climate Back Home

Living abroad for a lengthy period of time can make you forget how things are back home. So when you eventually go visiting, the first 2 weeks can be fun and exciting... however, by the third week, the Nigerian climate begins to become exhausting. You start to get agitated by the mediocrity and myopic mindsets of the average person around you... the culture (or lack therein) begins to bother you, the heat, the mosquitos, the extortionate fees for internet use, the lack of electricity, the fake forming of almost every young person... it just gets too much.

▪︎Health Reasons

Those with medical conditions are aware that the health sector in Nigeria is in shambles. As thus, they would rather stay in an environment where their medical needs are met.

▪︎ Introvertedness

Life abroad favours the introvert. In Nigeria, people can be loud, there's not much privacy, people don't mind their business. This is something that a lot of people abroad cannot adapt to ... therefore, they choose to remain abroad.

▪︎ Papers

Some are stuck abroad because of the notoriously known complications of obtaining papers. I don't need to explain this one further.

▪︎ Children

If you've had kids abroad, the thought of moving them back home can be scary as they've already been acclimatised to the lifestyle and upbringing here.

▪︎ Commitments

Those who have gotten married, built a career and bought houses might find it difficult to up and leave what they have laboured for just to return home to an uncertain terrain.


Feel free to add yours.

Where are you based?

yeah...just look around you... Here politicians give two plastic rubber of rice and idiots keep voting them... You can see how majority who are idiots elect all these useless living skeleton leaders both young and old... That's why the United States of America president took a deeper look at the country as a whole and he became convinced that what he saw is a shiithole meeeeennnhhh

Your number two is so on point.
When you begin to analyse the way average Nigerian reasons, you might be forgiven for thinking you are in a mad house.

To overcome this, don't go and live in the city when you are in Nigeria. Make sure you find yourself a place in your village, a bit away from most people.
This was exactly what I did, and I enjoy Nigeria now. I moved about 400 metres away from everyone and built myself a house with a very tall fence around it. Many people only know I am around when they see my car pass.

If you have been overseas for over 19 years like me including the academic accomplishment, it is very difficult for you to find people that think like you who live in Nigeria.

100% TRUE.

Believe me many country won't survive if they don't have constant electricity... So our government need to fix that first and believe me 80percent of Nigerians abroad will go back home.. No place like home

This is the kind of mentality poster was alluding to. The question you should be addressing is "why are Nigerians surviving no electricity when many countries could not"? Is it because we don't know the importance, or the lack of it is not affecting us? Why are we not like most countries that cannot stomach such sub-human treatment?

And how did you arrive at 80% of Nigerians willing to go home if electricity is steady? Another strange thing about Nigerians...dishing out figures without any studies to back it....which many people overseas don't like to tolerate.

because we have Enough Sons (Neptune) at home (Mars - Math - Home Work-er aka Atomic buttbodies bomboms) so much that we have to give abroad some of our own to work for the betterment of their economy... They are our Foreign assets

I recall you hailing GEJ and Madam world bank too.

You are one of those brainless people depicted on that cartoon, Anonimi.

I did not hail Jonathan beyond the purpose of promoting his comparative advantage against the incompetence of barawo bubu in a contest between both as clear leaders. And I have been vindicated.

If you have anything else apart from that, kindly point it out.

Op. You just described my naija experience anytime i visit. You said everything in that "inability to adapt to naija climate" so i have nothing more to add to that.

What about lack of papers?

What about lack of money after years that has subjected you to think that ppl will look down on you?
