My dear its never a mistake. Rather its good to train ur children on ur own culture my dear.its a good option. Its rare to hear that people wants to bring their familes home from another mans land knowing how difficult the economy is now. Its a very wise decision

AAinEqGuinea:
It's great that a thread like this makes FP, I still cant wait to visit Nigeria for myself as well.

Are there legal gambling/casino district(s) in Nigeria (I love poker), like we have Las Vegas or Atlantic City in America? (sorry OP, I know this isn't the place you'd want you and your children)
Are there popular museums highlighting sub-Sahara's rich history?


Then there's other "strange" adventures I'd like to personally explore that I wont mention until I actually make the trip.

you want to have slave mentality,despite being born in USA those still have slave mentality,you want to live where there is no equal right...in USA that you are talking abi, a black high school is more likely to have a police officer rather than an advisor

Yes I know how difficult things are in Nigeria right now. Everyday I read and hear from the media news and articles about Nigeria that trouble the heart.
Life in Europe is better in terms of basic needs as humans, but socially it has decayed beyond imagination. The future of our children is at stake here socially and morally. The western culture is eating deep in our children.
So I'm considering bringing my family down to Nigeria to train them in our own culture.
Do you think I'm making a mistake?
Please your candid advice.

Vickyydera:
Please keep them there. Nigeria is not getting any better. Most of us here are planning on how to leave this country for good and you are there planning on how to come home.

Kaykay:
OP, i can feel u. Really like someone earlier said, this is not a good platform to have sought for a candid advice. WHY? Majority of commentators here are 'Baby youths', 'frustrated youths' & disgruntled fellows. The way they feel emotionally about the present government (hatred) is with same emotion they react to every situations. NOW:

...Is it ONLY Nigeria that is going through RECESSION?
...What do they know about other countries who depended on OIL as their ONLY product: Venezuela, Saudi Arabia?
....Do you have Families in Nigeria still, how are they faring?

Nigeria is not as its been painted by lots of these 'NEGATIVE' mindset people. We have a hope to come out better.
You can arrange a short time period for them to be schooled in Nigeria before been returned over there and you will never regret it.

Sir, I will try to give you an honest advice even at the risk of being called names by some toddlers. on this forum who do not understand jack about your dilemma.
For now sir, relocating them here is a big mistake. F**k the so called culture for there is hardly any in place anymore.
I have tested both waters and have come to the conclusion that a rude child is better than one that is dead or kidnapped.
What you call moral decadence is now an acceptable norm in the Country you want to run back to. Secret cults are no longer found only in Universities and higher Institutions but right now in Secondary and Primary schools.
And these ones are more deadly.
Some okada riders and keke operators are cultists too.
So tell me sir, do you prefer a child that bends on a knee and greets you good morning but turns into a terror once he leaves your presence or the one that tells you 'hi dad' in the morning but can be vouched for.
There's a transformation going on right now, maybe and just maybe
in the next two years or so, God willing, Nigeria will be that your dream Country.

It's because you're not wealthy.

I don't see many rich folks leaving Nigeria.

delishpot:
Just because of culture he wants to relocate his family? Culture that he could teach them over there? Even Nigerians in Nigeria do not bother much about culture. Op abeg stay put till Naija becomes better. I am not saying don't come home o. Just saying wait till Naija becomes better. For now safety is more important.

Ojady:
DO NOT TRY IT!

I did it, followed all the advice, sought employment, started a business... It just was not worth it... I thank God, i was able to get us back out... I guess our destiny as a family did not lie there.

As one of the many who did it and regretted the decision right from the MMIA, my question is, what adjustments to your family life, can you not make out there, that makes you seriously believe relocating to Nigeria ( of all places) is a viable option?

Anyone who has lived in Europe or any developed country legally, for 2 years, regardless of age, wealth, determination or lets say misguided love for the Nigeria, will struggle should they return. How on earth can one fathom leaving a place where 96.9% of everything works, (even the 3.1% outstanding will eventually work) to a place where nothing, absolutely NOTHING works. An earlier contributor opined, you find out if this thought pattern is not 'remotely controlled' by the invisible forces highly prevalent in Nigeria, I am forced to agree with him.

Nigeria has defied more negatively every path trodden by developed and developing nations towards sustenable growth. The poverty of immaterial values critical to civil behaviour and progress is grossly manifest that it is evident even amongst the 'well to do'.

Nigeria is a place where everyone is paranoid, angry, potentially prone to covert and overt violence, lawlessness; things are done haplessly, power is comatose, fuel is a nightmare, the hospitals are just an embassy to the grave; money - the want for more, the need for enough to get by is eating everyone. People are not human there, just borderline between human and beasts. That is why the helpless turn to churches, others to voodoo and juju, others to armed robbery, some to scamming, some jack of all trades and a specialist of none, politics etc

Now i do realize you may have memories of your growing up in Nigeria, filling you with nostalgia, that is fine, yet, i believe it is your responsibility to ensure that your children do not battle the same challenges you had in your own time. You have already set them up to a worldview far advanced than what you had, is the moral decay you see, stronger than your determination, that come hell or high water, I will do my best possible to raise my kids right?

You appear to be a man who is truly concerned about the future, believe you me, returning with your whole family is the least of viable options...never jump into a flowing river or any river with both feet. If you must relocate, you come but for godsakes, LEAVE YOUR FAMILY THERE! #my2cents... #leadingyoudownaroadihavetravelled
