The only Nigerians who don't want to move out or return are those who enjoy being "big men" in Nigeria. The average Nigerian abroad is just an ordinary nobody. grin

That's why if you are earning dollars in Nigeria you are blessed.

There are a lot of people I know earning dollars in Nigeria who also want to leave. The question is what is your source of dollars? What happens when that source runs dry? Do you have alternatives?

Imagine getting accustomed to a particular lifestyle and then your business collapses in Nigeria.

Hausa women have alternatives, a lot of them I know have family members working in NNPC. They usually pull each other up.

A Nigerian doctor, Fatima has revealed that she turned down an opportunity to move to Canada because she wants to contribute to the growth and development of her country, Igbere TV reports.

While some Nigerians commended her patriotism, others said that she can afford to take such decisions because she is from a rich home.

Northern muslims hardly migrate to a foreign country to stay permanently.. it's very hard to see that happening because they know In Nigeria, the quota system will favor them as compared to western countries...

One thing I am sure is that she is from a wealthy family, so there is no need leaving the country to start again in a foreign land
Very true

From her face she looks like a Northerner. Only few women from that part of the country actually attend higher institution and being a female Medical Doctor from the north haha!!! She must be from a wealthy northern family. Maybe Fulani because of her straight nose . So no need , na them get Naija government now. If na southerner heeeeew!!! She don waka tey tey because nothing for her for Naija.

I'm 100% sure she's from a rich family.
Having lived in the North, poor people don't send their female children to school, only rich class can afford good private schools for their children in primary/secondary schools to pass waec and jamb. In public schools, they can't even speak English after graduation, are they the one that will study medicine?
That girl had car since teenagehood

I have seen countless northerners that are successful doctors from humble backgrounds.

I once asked a friend, find me a girl in your medical set so when we get married we can both leave the country since medical personnel's are high in demand. He simply looked at me in despair and said- who will take care of all these people when we all leave. Its about personal conviction and selflessness.

Look die this your mentality, i have another friend that spent abt 10years in canada, he has one of the biggest farms in benue today and he's fully bac now with his family still abroad.

Im not saying its wrong or a disservice to Nigeria when you leave, my point is, this an opinionated topic and she has her reasons for staying behind.

And stop that your garbage stereotype, i had 4As in my Olevel, i was thought Maths, physics and Chemistry in pure Hausa (dont ask me what i got in English lol). Inshort in my school youll be shocked to find pple that can speak pidgin, its either youre on clean english, arabic or ur local dialect.

Im suprised pple are actually angry at this, this is the type of "me and myown" type of mentality we have today thats why this country will never go forward.

NB- if i have the opportunity to move, i will grab it...lol, for my personal reasons obviously.

Bottom line is to stay in any country that favours you. Nigeria isn't for everyone and definitely Canada isn't for everyone. I still have several clients who are doctors on my list, waiting to relocate to EU and Canada.

Normally, if you're from a wealthy home, there's no reason for you to move abroad cos it's competitive, writing MCCQE and other licencing exams for different professions isn't easy for every professional, so I think it pays her to stay here. Also she's a woman, which means the financial burden of the family isn't on her.

By the way, most women who move to Canada do complain about the loneliness. It's all work, work, work. No Naija men to do shakara for. grin
Because someone is wealthy he should stay in a failed society.
Anyway from what I have observed most people from wealthy backgrounds wobt move because the way they are worshipped and get to exploit poor people there, they wont try such in sane climates.
Only in Niggeria will you hire a man as your houseboy, security guard, body guard, errand boy, masseuse , driver, hypeman and laundryman then pay him peanuts at rhe end of the month... sometimes you dont have to pay him. Just tell him you dont have money for him

Where in my post did I assert the bolded?
Whether Nigeria is a "failed society" or not, it's illogical for anyone to think everyone has to leave the country, totally illogical. I am a travel consultant and even at that, I know Canada isn't for everyone but those who can meet the requirements, which are a lot. Not all Nigerians are graduates, not all Nigerians have the finances to process the PR, no everyone wants to move as some are doing quite well here...

I don't expect you to understand my views because we all have drives and passion so you see the one that suits you

Peace

Your views, drives& passion aren't d issue. U made a claim that thru d practice of agriculture, it is "easy to become a millionaire in US dollars in Nigeria than in Canada".

All I asked u to do was to substantiate ur claim and u couldn't. U don't have a farm and u aren't presently engaged in agriculture. U haven't become a dollar millionaire thru agriculture u are only dreaming of becoming one& u are making claims that u can't defend& can't be proved. Ur dreams aren't a fact until u bring to manifestation. Dreams & passion aren't a statement of fact.

If u no any nigerian farmer that became a dollar millionaire in Nigeria & he told u it was easier doing so than being a millionaire in Canada, pls let me no.

I was actually thinking of creating a thread on this.

What exactly do people mean by "stay back or return back to contribute to the country"?

It's easy for this lady as she's a doctor.. she feels content and comfortable even though her wages and living conditions are quite substandard compared to her counterparts in other countries...

she's a typical Nigerian who has the thought process of 'as long as I'm comfortable, everyone else can go to hell' ...

..what about millions of Nigerian youths who studied other courses in uni and haven't been able to get a job? Young people wasting away with no hope for the future..
They should all start businesses right? What businesses if I may ask? Hair dressing, poultry, small chops and farming? The government has no plans for the future of its youths.

Those who believe that it is the citizen's job to fix Nigeria, please what is our government there for? what is their responsibility?

If you're from a rich family and are on a path to even higher things here, there's no need to leave Nigeria.

They will still sometimes get citizenship somewhere else IN CASE.

She is a doctor. If a time comes and she wants to move, before 6 months, she would have disappeared.

Check well and ask her where she got her degree. I am 100% sure she got it from an accredited school (whether in Nigeria or outside) that is recognized by countries like Canada.

Doctors in Nigeria with 4-5 years experience and easily move to another country and become doctors there in less than a year.

Why leave Nigeria where you work maybe 40 hours a week with quality breaks to go somewhere where you'll work 12 hours nonstop as a doctor. Where you'll have to look for a house that costs 5 times your annual salary, etc.

undecided


That's how somebody will get motivation from the facts that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are school drop outs but they won't consider the school they dropped out from and why they did what they did.


She turned it down because she came from a well to do family.

Sometimes, we just listen to people's advice without taking the circumstances surrounding their decision.

Most Northerners don't migrate to Western countries. They tend to migrate more to Arab countries. But I agree with you, for this lady, she must be from a wealthy home. Before you know, they will dash her 'one CMD' or Commissioner somewhere.
