emkz: I retired to Nigeria after living in the USA for 33 years. People on here loose their combined minds when I tell them that I am living my best life in Nigeria. I love Nigeria, she's not perfect but she's Gods own country to me and to others who work/worked hard. 27 Likes 3 Shares |

Queenslander: It's not that they don't want to return my dear. Some of them don't have papers and many don't even have anything to return to. Even many more are too ashamed to come back to be tagged a failure. My advise based on my experiences and observations: if you have absolutely no plan when you are migrating: please remain in Nigeria. Even those running to Canada, have a plan on where you want to be. DO your indepth research, understand the jobs you can and/cannot do, and PLEASE, never sell your assets like land or house to migrate. These should be your fall back option when you feel abroad not for you. And in your own interest, end any relationship you have except both of you are true to each other. 15 Likes |

/ You commit crime because you want to hammer. Don't blame your people for your greed. Why do people complain about requests from people back home? It is not as if they will enter a plane to come and beat you if you say No. If you can't say NO, then learn to live with your insecurity and low self-esteem. That's your personal problem. / 2 Likes |

skimena: I do not have a problem with people in Nigeria having that mindset. Isn't that what they see on TV?... isn't that what people be posting on SM?... do people abroad ever be posing with Toyota?.... isn't it always Benz or some exotic car?.... do they ever post 12 of them living in a one room apartment?... isn't it always a huge beautiful house? When they return on vacation... do they ever give the impression they are suffering abroad?... do theybever return wearing with well used clothing?... or brand new?... and brand name? So why wouldn't people believe they are rolling in money abroad and can always afford to dash cash to anyone that asks? The problem I have with people at home is they almost always ask for fish instead of the tools to help them catch their own fish. They ask for money to pay bills.... buy food.... repair house... to get by... latest phone...etc.... instead of asking for tile cutter to do tile work.... or small equipment to help do a business. At the same time... when people return on vacation.... how many people at home ever voluntarily give the visitor anything to return?... even garri? Entitlement too much....has long seeped into our DNA. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Jaqenhghar:True, for some but still a case of "empty barrels...". Replace 'abroad' with Lagos or Abuja - it's still similar story for some in Nigeria. Those who are really doing well abroad are too busy to be showing off even when they are home on vacation. 11 Likes |

I only pray for them One was even complaining how she doesn't understand me cos I don't call to ask after them.I know how most behave,cos they think once you start calling,you are only doing so cos of their money. I said OK I am sorry I will make amends. So when I started calling every 2months interval,she indirectly told me I was disturbing her,then I stopped. I never asked her for any help,even her husband who happened to be my brother sends me on an errand that sometimes engulfs my own money, never mind as far as I am the channel of money sharing to strangers. I don't complain cos I believe I didn't give anybody money to keep for me and am capable enough to fend for my self with God's assistance. I only write this because the OP tend to generalize this issue. 15 Likes |
