With the level of Unemployment,Govt. Disregard for their citizens,Poor Infrastructure and a bleak future in the wake of dwindling oil prices I always imagine what my kids will pass thru when they grow,My friend's wife just gave birth in US and he encouraged me to do same when I marry cos the best gift you can give a child in today's Nigeria is "Dual Citizenship",Is this worth planning for?

Home is always home. All the money you are going to waste abroad, lets use it to develop our own country.

You nor get problem bruh.

Op I agree with u,I would love to give birth to mine in canada or U.S

go and have kids in the moon who cares?

Nigeria is in a dire state right now and until we begin to see improvement, one MUST have a back-up plan...

U r not comfortable being a Nigerian...pls change location and let us be...

lol who no like good things in life

please try Afghanistan.

With the moral degradation and decadence emanating from obodo oyinbo, I can't imagine raising my children abroad. It would be harder work raised to the power infinity.

It's easier to train children here and instill moral values in them than abroad. In my own opinion though.

Namaste white people.

Nothing wrong in giving birth to your kids over there then bringing them here to train. Dual citizenship and easy access to the US when they are ready or in need.

Whatever floats your rootbeer.

I'm really not interested in them even being citizens sef.
No mind me o. I really am yet to fancy all those places. If it were other African Countries now, I wouldn't mind.

Erm, I see where you are coming from dear, but, Nigeria is barely more morally upright than abroad. Corruption is not only restricted to the political side of things but is highly prevalent in day to day life. Dishonesty and bribery is the order of the day. It takes the grace of God to raise a child properly in the current state of the Nation

Should we talk about sexual perversion ? Many kids from the ages of 4yrs get sexually abused for years with the culprits getting away with it due to the inadequacy of the justice system. A lot of adults who grew up in Nigeria are victims of sexual abuse.

Through the culture of spanking , children are raised up to fear their parents (which is different from respecting them) which inevitably leads them to living double-lives i.e. being one way in school whilst forming "goodie2shoes" to their parents at home. Dishonesty is imbibed in them from a tender age!

What of education? Lol, let's not a even go there..

Healthcare nko? hmmm

Dont get me wrong o. Nigeria is a beautiful country with rich culture but the cons far outweigh the pros. We have a loooong way to go.

Until now this is something i have failed to understand about some Africans, you could always send your kids to school abroad when you can afford it. We have heard to many cases of people who run away from paying their bills after giving birth in western countries, why go through all the stress for something you can't afford?

and who said is not affordable,don't you think a child having dual citizenship is more disposed to a wider horizon than just Nigerian Citizenship

It has become a sit-com to me sef.

I wake up each morning and I'm amazed at to the next episode of craziness that they unleash.

Nigerians and free 'food'!

People running to give birth in Western countries are the ones spoiling Nigeria. Once their kids have dual citizenship, the parents start destroying the institutions, and make a mess of the system, after all 'My kids can go back to 'obodo onyibo'. Can't we fix this country??

Sweep your compound, I sweep mine, our village will be clean!!

im talking about situations where the mother uses a visitors visa to go abroad, give births and leaves without paying the bill. They risk getting a 10year or lifetime ban by doing so.

What dirty home is home


nigerians been deceiving themselves with that line since 1800

need I remind you of police brutality metted out on a pregnant woman I read here few minutes ago
the unpaid workers salaries
endless strikes
Complete break down of law and order
near existence of little or no infrastructure


you better don't let anyone deceive you with that line. Give birth in a country that has respect for the dignity of human persons

Please where are these "Moral Values" in Nigerian society, I'd like to see them?

Police Brutality?
Lack of Honesty and Decency amongst our youth to even attempt to write exams without cheating or coercing a lecturer?
Breakdown of every institution known to Man?
Accepted Violence and Rape against minors and genders?
Widespread corruption amongst the masses?
Moral decadence dresses up in finery and attending church every Sunday hypocritically?
Parenting skills reduced to verbally and physically assaulting your child?

I could go on...

How they show Africa as being a backward village with war and famine is how they show the western world wih crazy antics . Bad news sells and peoole don't want to hear "Mike bought a home and Judy graduated" on the news, they want to see "Joe shot up a school in a drive-by" same way "Africa is a country and they are constantly starving and fighting brutal wars or committing crime". I personally have met kinder and more honest people outside Nigeria. Heck, the average Nigerian person attempted to elbow and push my pregnancy out of the way because they were rushing to enter the cinema hall to watch FF7, meanwhile in the US, everyone courteously held doors open and enquired about my health (total strangers every time! ).

Abegl bone that Nigerian Values silliness...

pafra:
go and have kids in the moon who cares?

experienced mothers do not teenage clowns still dealing with associated growing up tantrums

You mean fake eye service values
