I get so mad because it doesn't need to be that way in the 21st century

I sha get angry with slow internet

It's not everywhere u experience slow internet.

Also depending on where u live and work, you can enjoy nigeria but u must be rolling in cash.

With your money, everybody will be at your bevk and call but is that really the ideal way to live?

I enjoyed 22hrs minimum electricity everyday when I was in Nigeria. My gen was lying dormant. My area was heavily guarded by men on mofti and very quiet.


I just miss the busybody and amebò.
Even when u are not part of those doing that, when u are away from.them, u will def miss that.

if you are not a stand up comedian yet, you need to look into that career - guy you so funny you made me laugh so hard - God bless you bro

Lol...Tnx.

But these things happen. People that village people called back from the abroad. Then come to naija and become miserable. When you hear people call somebody 'Baba Londoner' that's a victim . World people will hail and mock you at the same time.

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!!!

Were you told it's a taboo to help your parents travel abroad?

Most (Didn't say all) people that relocated abroad miss Nigeria a lot and struggle to suppress the feeling.Some go as far as condemning Nigeria as a shithole to justify the reason why they left and if possible console themselves how much they are missing Nigeria.

No matter what you do if you like bring all your family members and friends, that feeling of missing Nigeria will always be there. You can only try to suppress it

ogbonti:
my question is coming to Nigeria exactly to do what? start looking for a job where there is an army of unemployed citizens who can’t find jobs- you need to know someone who knows someone to get a job that you can barely survive on

And when you open a business nko, according to Fela - another wahala - no electricity to run it, no light , no ac, no fan , heat everywhere, generator buzzing left and right


and in case you are lucky to even succeed in running a business or getting a dream job, you are scared to live life like a normal human being - armed robbers everywhere, kidnappings, police and security agents harassment, poor healthcare facility, and a myriad of issues that are simple non existent where i live right now

America is not paradise but it is million miles ahead of Nigeria. the things even the dead poor people take for granted in the US are luxuries to the super rich and powerful in Nigeria.

life is not only about having chunks or bundles of currency tucked in a bank vault in your name. it is the quality of life and ease of living that matters


hell no, not relocating to Nigeria - visit Nigeria oh yess i will, stay there permanently he’ll to the NO!

Like?

so after travelling to abroad. I can't believe someone dudes go still come back home

ibkayee:

I have been there before dear, I just haven't lived there

I Promise, if you can come back and locate ur ancestral (family) home, then I have found a wife

Haba! There are people seriously considering it o... mainly for that sense of "community"

I know someone planning to move back before the end of the year in case there's a second wave of this pandemic. That way, she can be with her friends / family during a second (and possibly more stricter) lockdown.

There is surely going to be another Pandemic and I hear worst. Time to look upwards

I am moving back after retirement. Life is horrendous for pensioners who would have to live lonely lives in care homes with no family around.

If i dare either by trance or gimmicks/magic behold Australia, even if i die i will buried there that will be included in my will. I have been scammed because of my love for Australia but i wouldn't give up even if at 50 , am still praying to Hod that i will live in Aussie. Enjoy my beloved country till i come

Investnow2017:


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.
.

look up Forbes' list and see the list of Nigerians who do legitimate business, pay taxes and also doing fine in their various chosen careers. I just remember Lifebank and I smiled. Look right and you'd see opportunities. Unfortunately, you only cite bad examples and I guess that's what you've set your mind to see. There are bad people everywhere even in the world. I remember my MBA days at Ross School of Business in Michigan. A white guy was sentenced to 2 months of community service for shooting the radar (speed) limit. There are opportunities here boku boku.

please add me to the people you want to bring to Australia. Biko, I won't miss anything . This country don taya, left university for almost a decade now, yet no job.

pocohantas:


Lol. No jokes, sis. A lot of us enjoy some of the abnormality and are even scared of breaking down under normalcy.

It's because you haven't seen an alternative yet. In the early 20th Century America, children were hawking newspapers and engaging in other menial jobs to support their patents. Can that happen there now? Things have changed and what everybody used to see as normal is now a crime.

ibkayee:

Lol oh boy

With my desire to run away from Nigeria girls, I think I found myself with a great lady. Am I welcomed? Am for real. I got lots of gist/gossips I got lined up for u concerning Nigeria girls but we gonna do that privately

EgunMogaji2:


Exactly, as you should. I post based on my own individual opinion. Not yours.

PS: I have never and would never work for a Chinese or Lebanese in Nigeria. I hire them to work for me instead

Better and same here. That's what I want to hear

Risky moves!! Challenges ahead

Sorry sir but I'm married

VeeVeeMyLuv:

Kai that is disrespectful and insulting to the word "traveling"

The appropriate word in this context is "migrating"

Thanks I corrected myself
But this one you're correcting people up&down
Instead of you to focus and walk towards the main issue bro I doubt if you will leave Nigeria in the next 20yrs even touring ion think so

Yes, i am moving back next week
