For the sake of your children's future, I think.

tdayof:
children's future? In what essence? Citizenship or what?

zboyd:
If you're very successful in Nigeria (well-paying job, a couple of growing businesses on the side, nice home, car, savings, etc.), why give up/sell everything and immigrate to the US, UK or some other country, where you might not be as successful?

Nigerians are the worse for wanting to move to another country.

guy, for sound and quality education. no strike. studying in a conducive environment. old lecturers won't have to stress and frustrate your kids. guy, think twice. having so much money is not everything. i rather be an average Swedish or Finn than be a Nigerian millionaire.

pansophist:
How can you enjoy your life when you're the constant target of criminals, poorer family members, police officers etc?

what is comfortability when you have to power generator with fumes and noise? fuelling it daily and maintenance?

how about the insecurities and the fear you live with simply because you are better economically than the majority?

How about applying for visa anytime you want to go even South Africa, an Afican country? meanwhile someone from Brazil has an easy access to?

What about the quality education of your kids? which is quite expensive with a bad quality in Nigeria? meanwhile you get it free elsewhere?

How about living in a sane environment where the health service, police, electricity, water etc are in a good and stable condition?

How about public civility? where people generally behave like humans and treat you with basic respect, not the shouting and aggressiveness you get in Niaja?

And in a case things goes wrong in your life, the government can assist you financially you till you recuperate which ever shit you are deep into?

My friend, It may not seem like the best move in your opinion but when you and your pregnant wife walk into a world class medical centre, spend 8 days, come out with a baby all without paying a kobo then you will have an idea.

When Naija government decides to value the lives of it's citizens and work towards protecting them. Then, the exodus will be reversed.

In the last four months, I've not seen rats, cockroaches even houseflies. Na only Squirrel and rabbits I dey see for street.

I can think well because many concerns such as water, light, traffic, noise & air pollution does not exist anymore.

The government pays my little daughter $120 every month until she turns 16.

I love Naija but I don't want my generation to suffer. We will keep in touch with our roots and visit Naija during summer (As long as BH matter don cool down).

otokx:

Which country did you just describe here?

biddybee:

SkinnyDude:
confirm. i could remember when i mistakenly (don't know if i actually did that) stepped on a coursemate, a girl. the girl aggressively pushed me, and started shouting at me. "why you go dey match me like this? na because say you wear fine shoe". i was embarassed. i just said sorry and left. i blame frustration sha.


but when you step on a Dutch or anyone from the west. he will stop, smile and say sorry

saxywale:
Alberta, the government credits my child's account with $395 every month. That's excluding free healthcare, free prescription drugs e.t.c
Whereas Nigeria never gave me 1kobo.

Nigayoyo:


Please tell us how much you pay as tax i.e. tax deducted by your state and your county from your monthly income (we just need the percentage). And also the tax included when you buy anything at the groceries or anywhere in Canada. Thanks!
