Oh, pleeeease nobody is talking about money. It's more than that. Nigeria doesn't offer the basic needs people should have in 2020. The infrastructure is nothing to write about and the health care system as well. That's just to name a few
Yes,Nigeria may have poor infrastructures and poor health care system.But What have you done to improve the status quo,apart from running away and making plans to take more with you?

We now have 24hrs light o. Have you heard? Our roads are all tide now and smooth to drive in. No more potholes. No more kidnapping. In fact, you can dress any how you want and walk the streets of Nigeria, no police man will term you yahoo boy for dressing nice.

We now have clean pipe borne water o. All streets are electrified. During this coronavirus, Nigeria government even gave all of us N150,000 as palliative. We are all living well now. no more kidnapping.

You are all saying bullshit, I make good money from the Nigeria you people insult, they are others too that makes millions everyday.

I have friends with millions in their account, all made their money from home in Nigeria!!

I sell Cars, do you know how many people buy cars daily in Nigeria?

Why the rest countries are developed is because you carry the money you made in Nigeria and spend it there.

First they chop you for IELTS
Secondly settlement funds! And others. That is why they are leaving their country open for everyone, they just need your money.

Believe in your view of Nigeria if you wish, but don't paint it bad. If it's not working for you, it working for others period.

That's where the problem lies. You do realize that peace of mind is key to happiness right? What's the point of having all that money when you are not safe?

JewelStone:
I'm not gonna lie...I miss Nigeria sometimes which makes me flirt with the idea of splitting my time there when my kids are older. I miss my family, my friends and the sense of community.

But then I remember lack of internet and electricity, horrific healthcare system, bad roads, bigotry, lack of value for human life, insecurity, police brutality, immense corruption, tribalism, crumbling or non-existent economy and a million other horrible things. This quickly resets my mind.

My solution which I'm currently working on is to bring my sisters and my best friend over to live in Sydney with me and make good living for themselves. Then I won't have any business with Nigeria anymore except to visit my parents every two years.

So to answer your question: no, nein, never!!!

There is a difference between an "electric train" and an "eletrik train". What Nigeria has is the latter. wink

Lol, not going to lie I would have gotten mad as well grin. I just can't imagine a day without electricity. My WiFi was fluctuating the other day and it drove me crazy. So me imagining having no electricity at all really does give me anxiety, especially during this corona period. All my classes are online biko

They key to success in Nigeria is a global mindset don’t just cater to Nigerians some may even bring you down with their you cannot be successful mentality some will even enter bush for your matter

The country has promise but leadership prefers to take from Peter to pay Paul right down to some financial institutions think global and you will see that not everyone is a scammer but everyone sha wants to be comfortable and not owing

I love to focus on little things that is working, I consider it a big achievement. That gives me hope.

There is nowhere like home. Nigeria offers you favourable climate, delicious foods, fantastic entertainment, and civil liberty. It is ignorant that make my people to devote their loyalty to foreign countries where they are regarded as second class citizens over their own fatherland.

fairfora:
funny you. We see and reason differently you know?. Have you ever wondered while any foreigner who has entered Nigeria would hardly leave? Why an indian, a Chinese with one pair of trousers and a luggage would end up a billionaire and invite more of his people instead of leaving and later hire you guys and be paying you peanuts?Think about it.

Have you sat them down to ask them why? I once asked my Argentine colleague back then why he misses Nigeria each time he was going on vacation, and his reply. "All the nonsense that I do here and get away with, if I attempt them in my country I will be jailed". Example? He continued "Here in Portharcourt, I can drive against the traffic, all I need do is give a traffic police N100 and off I go". He even added "when I needed a driver's licence, it was right here in my office it was delivered by a Road Safety officer, who never asked if I had ever touched a car steering".

If those are the reasons the Indians and Chinese are staying in Nigeria, are those good reasons? I am just asking because I hate self-deceit.

Op you made a mistake it's a typo error
You want to say -
Which country will you be traveling to after the pandemic
Kai that is disrespectful and insulting to the word "traveling"

The appropriate word in this context is "migrating"
