calebo101:You just hit a Grandslam. The OP is speaking for himself and his ilks not for majority of Nigerians. I grew up in Chitown and have an MBA from Loyola and work as an investment adviser in a big hedge fund firm in Chicago. I have friends across all fields including Physicians, Lawyers , Engineers, Nurses, Accountants and even people working manual jobs. There is dignity in labor as long as it's legal. Most of the guys I know are either US citizens or Green Card holder. I have business investments not only in Nigeria but S/A. I am a constant visitor to the two countries. So, the OP can speak for himself and his other low life friends of his. He's not talking about majority of the guys I know here in Chicagoland. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Agaraw23 want compare his life and experience with others living abroad, one thing that people learn living abroad is how to be disciplined which reflects on most of thier behavior, there word is thier bond, i dont know how many people in nigeria will tell you something and you believe what they are telling you, they believe in there own lies. agarawu23: |

I think some are taking this thread in the wrong direction. I mean you start insulting the OP based on his own perceptions from his own personal experience. I'll give my perception, I live in Canada and was born here. There are about 3 circles of people who live here.. the students who studied and then worked hard to get that PR card, married and raise families here (in various stages of this process), the ones who came simply to have a better life and work very hard, sometimes doing menial jobs hoping to survive and then the straight up hustlers, who do any and all things to make loads of cash. However, the majority of these groups, go home and all send money. I know people here who rent 1 room apartment but built their houses back home. Those who refused to go home, honestly like the environment here, more of a preference than a forced decision. Again, my opinion only 2 Likes |

Simple formula.. Do not attempt to live abroad illegally if you have the same skills that could not get you a good living in Nigeria. If you work as a "Banker" that is not a skill. It is not useful abroad. If you work as a facilities manager or a nurse or a dentist or an equipment operator. You will live well. There are some skills you acquire in Nigeria that makes sense abroad. That is why you will find graduates working at train stations and supermarket security and street cleaners. They do not have the skills to get jobs that pay.. Even when living illegally 1 Like |

WAGAZ:Your uncle may not be coming home soon, because there are a lot of bills to pay. Money is not lying on the streets or growing on trees to pick. Coming to Nigeria is not easy at all. Flight tickets are very expensive. The Money I pay for just a flight ticket to Nigeria, would get me a 2 week full holiday package (accomodation + break fast) in Kenya or Southafrica. 1 Like |

You have your resident permit now doesn't mean you should come to forum and put figures you never verified. Recently, I spoke with some other Africans here, I discovered that they are more desperate than Nigerians. Most of them came here through back door. NB:Let's acknowledge the difference between speaking up with intention and speaking up for attention agarawu23: |

calebo101: Oga, He simply said some of the reasons many fails to come back home after many years abroad is dash,dash dash. He is not saying that all Nigerians doesn't come back home or that all Nigerians does menial job. NO! You are excluded in any of the category mentioned because you visit home regularly. And the OP is not far from the truth about what keeps many Nigerians away from home. Only that the quoted percentage is debatable since there is no source to it. |

Re: Some Reasons Why Nigerians Abroad Are Not Coming Home by tpiadotcom: 4:53pm On Apr 02, 2015 |
I think mostly because of the employment and lack of it, unfriendly attitude towards returnee emigrants, hostility among nigerians, lack of resources, etc. |
