the problem of nigeria is not the infrastructure. the problem of nigeria is nigerians. its a beautiful country full of demonic people. during that lockdown period the country was like paradise. you drive on the road peacefully no aggression etc . its a great country. i am talking to you with 24 7 internet from spectranet. its faster than the one i had in UK with plusnet

ZINIBANKS:
Op you made a mistake it's a typo error
You want to say -
Which country will you migrate to after the pandemic

ibkayee:

I use a generator whenever I'm there, luckily I have the means to live comfortably there, my complaining about the unstable light was more a jab at the substandard standard of living overall..in the 21st century. I'm still going to be moving around within the country, I can't be THAT far removed from everything. If it's not the light it will be something else, the light was just an example

DaddyGngeess:




I know say u dey here my guy....

ibkayee:

I'm not just talking about the internet and light, they were just examples. Living in your own comfortable bubble doesn't necessarily change what's happening outside, around you

EgunMogaji2:


My brother I thank god o. Some mates don dey six feet under.

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!!!

EgunMogaji2:


Don't mind them.

Keep on doing you Bro.

I've met many Nigerians living in Nigeria that comes over every year with their family for vacations to the USA. Some have even purchased vacation homes.

RaptorX:
If you are financially okay, Nigeria is actually a very good place to live. All those one's abroad talking about mosquito and Nepa etc are just a bunch of broke ass because you can have 24/7 electricity in Nigeria if you can afford it. Until you travel yourself to see how most of them live in the so called abroad and the kind of work they do you will know where their bitterness and sense of unfullfield expectations is coming from.

sircatherine45:


i don tell you finish
stop your ranting, it won't win you a medal
just watch your back, OK
goodnight!!!

Liodins:
Moving back to Nigeria to come do what?

Snaagg:
Nigerians abroad, how many of you are considering relocating back to the 'motherland' once this whole pandemic/lockdown debacle is over?

If you are, state your reasons here..

CeterisXVII:

Gbam!! You said it all! Like I said before, I have lived in estates in this Naija, which would make you think you are still abroad. 24x7 power supply (with gensets, solar power, etc), swimming pool at the doorstep, fast WiFi, hi-tech security etc., including private car and driver to take you anywhere you want.

In one place I stayed, they had a private speedboat to take you from Ikoyi to Apapa, every day....

EgunMogaji2:


I try to tell the young people that “Otedola no get two heads.

Kuns84:


You refer to our country as hellfire? How so

lekki1444:
but in the UK you live in a comfortable bubble too. you cant hang out anyhoow or you will get stabbed by wastemen. people dont hang out. youu are in your house bored all the time. there is no community. is that not a comfortable bubble ?

Eulalia:
Op is just using style to know those living abroad. Now you know, what next? Mtchew.

Lefulefu where art thou?

ibkayee:

No place is perfect, I can get killed by armed robbers or ritualists too lol. UK is the more habitable choice to me mate

CeterisXVII:

There is no country without its own drawbacks. I remember getting to the UK in the '90s, and having to do a 20-minute walk, from the nearest bus stop to my house in the frigging cold, every single day for months.

I worked in a rather exclusive part of town, and every few metres a police patrol car would drive by and stare at you, once you were black.

I got questioned a few times just for walking down that street. Something that never happened to my white colleagues.

Everywhere has its own stress. At least, in Naija your money can buy you comfort, if you have enough.

lekki1444:
finally we come to the same conclusion which is NO PLACE IS PERFECT haha. exactly. its a matter of pick your poison. to me ? naija is the more habitable choice. in the UK i feel claustrophobic. like the walls are closing in on me. i feel suffocated. i feel watched. i feel like too many people have a say in how i can live my life. i feel like a pawn in the hand of the puppet masters. i feel like a hamster in a wheel. i feel like a nobody. i feel like an unwanted visitor who is imposing himself on the host while the host is secretly seething at my presence. its not a good feeling mentally and spiritually. to feel unwanted

to prevent ur getting attacked in naija wen u return u dont announce that u coming.dats the mistake most nigerians overseas make wen coming back.they will tell every tom dick and harry that they are coming so and so time in naija.wen u making ur trip to naija do it quietly.U can maybe tell ur parents but if ur parents na guy men they will keep it a secret for u.dont tell any friend whatsoever that u coming back.come back qiuetly do ur business and go back if u have to.wen u announce to everybody that u coming back thats when they plan for u.they will arrange bad boys for u .There was a guy who spent all his years in sweden and on the day he came to his village in benin that was the day he was murdered.The farm company he setup that was the place they murdered him.The police said it was fulani herdsmen but most ppl believed that hit was done by ppl close to him.nigeria has become so bad and evil that nobody can be trusted.

ibkayee:

I have a love hate relationship with Naija lol, as frustrating as I find it I always enjoy my time there. It's good for holidays for me, I just don't think I could live there lol

sweetmelanin:


Sure! Keep telling yourself lies .. 'Sir'
