"Stay put," said Paul Heng, managing director of Next Career Consulting Group Asia in Singapore. "I don't think there is a refuge anywhere in this world." There's always a refuge at 'Home' Taking advantage of their lil savings, CV, and contact- there are increasing opportunities to explore if you stay long or work hard enough to start something, might not be as shiny as other options but the benefits will follow Nigeria is another option just like Dubai, UAE, Singapore, etc are to others - Indians, British trained iraqi, egyptians and even British doctors move to work as consultants in Hospitals in Iraq, Egpyt, Libya, same as oil workers move from Russia, Scotland to work in Algeria, Libya, Angola etc |

AjanleKoko:there are several reasons for moving back to nigeria,speaking for myself and people i have been opportuned to discuss with like i said in one other thread here. nigeria is ready to have a middle class and we diasporeans are the ones that can stimulate the economy and start the drive towards a middle class nigeria is an emerging economy while the western world are at a plateau economy wise while they are hovering just above bankruptcy we have not even tapped into our real potentials yet not oil and gas but the people,the market economy. i want a better quality of life,met a couple of people in nigeria earnng less than i do yet had housemaids,drivers and more disposable income most of all i want to be part of the drive for change and economic revolution |

^^ before u make the leap . make sure u are ready for the dog eat dog mentality prevalent over there. I know a lot of people who took the plunge but moved back within 6 months. |

lucabrasi:i don't even know where to start with this quote. unfortunately,i am unable to comment extensively on this thread |
Re: Move Back To Nigeria Club by AjanleKoko: 11:03am On Jun 07, 2011 |
mbulela: You see my challenge here. lucabrasi: How will you do that if you're not bringing investment, but rather looking for jobs? There are not even enough jobs for the Nigerians who never left home. How will you stimulate the economy? It would make sense if you're coming back home to start a business, and inject funds into the system. But if you're coming back to join the job market . . . it might be better if you stayed back. |

candylips:you r right even one of my brothers had to return back to the uk after a year plus,apart from my plans i have been coming to nigeria every year since 2008 and last year i stayed in lagos for almost 6 months just to aclimatise myself AjanleKoko:maybe you didnt read all my comments,apart from the job search i am actually investing in a couple of businesses the job is just for me not to spend out of my savings and to get into the general day to day lifestyle,meet new people e.t.c there are lots of business with an assured and guaranteed returns AjanleKoko:true and thats what i though as well for me my plan is to invest in a medium sized business that will fetch me a daily/weekly means of livelihood then look for a job while doing my research into the main business i will be investing the bulk of my savings into. from my research most people that have not suceeded have either had an unrealistic expectation or have been dissappointed by broken promises from friends and families back home. the issue here i that i asked myself what quality of life i wanted and if i had any hope of achieving it here and the answer is yes its possible but highly unlikely. i really dont want to make cups of tea,cook,shop my self when im in my 50s and 60s i dont want to have rheumatism at the age of 50s because of the excessive cycle of cold weather i dont want to live most of my life in a semi detached with a small garden when i could live in a roomy,spacious bungalow or duplex besides i will always be a second class citizen in this country and achieving my full potential will always be a struggle. i dont want to be a nigerian in name only,i want to experience it going round all the states we have on a road trip,experiencing all the diverse cultures contibuting my quota to making the country great. my dad schooled in trinity university in dublin which was and still a prestigious institution,he rejected a job with opportunities to go back to nigeria after his studies and almost 50 yrs later he is not regretting it one bit. look at the children in this country,especially the negative influence on african children ? |

^^ That sounds like purpose. Some of your reasons make sense to me, and some I don't agree with. Like the issue of second class citizen. Truth be told, the vast majority of Nigerians in Nigeria are living 3rd class lives in their own country. You don't need to become a minister to regard yourself as a first class citizen. My own is, if you want to move back home, it has to be for a specific reason, not for pies in the sky. Makes no sense to me when people act like they didn't know that Nigeria doesn't have good roads or 24 X 7 power. I really do not see the point of trying to compare Nigeria with the West. It's kind of like getting to your village and complaining that it doesn't look like Lagos, or Abuja, or PH. Also, if you happen to have the status to live in those countries, you probably stand a better chance over there in a recession. Nigeria's economy is kind of on permanent recession. |

There are several reasons why people move back and this is best known to the individual, to be totally honest i think its a brilliant idea because the people who have lived abroad will bring back wealth of knowledge and so overall may aid the economy! The so-called 'brain gain' in action! Yes more people entering the labour market makes it even difficult for people to obtain jobs however just because one is applying for jobs doesn't mean they don't have investments on the side, for an example my dad does all that trading shares stuff (in the UK - because obv my family resides here) my point is that some people in Nigeria may also do that sort of thing on the side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5iRmdOnne8&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbJPZcOCA98 |

With the current state of the country, how many diaspora Nigerians will share this sentiment? |
