Africans in diaspora must understand that a Lizard in US or UK can not suddenly become an Alligator in Nigeria or Kenya, just because their plane have just landed from NY or London!

The myth of the returnee is slowly dying. Competition is tough, and no one is expecting you, unless you have cash to flush.

If you are not a successful returnee (which means you don’t have a minimum of 100 000 dollars in disposable money), then your return here will be tough. People won’t respect you if you don’t have a big house and a big car, and if you could not pay for their meals and drink when they are hanging out with you.

The time of “small thing” is over. Everyone prays God, but the real king in town is Money, Big Money! It’s the ONLY thing people really Respect. You can keep your patriotism, panafricanism or activism for yourself.

If you are a returnee who have to compete with locals for job, business or attention, you’ll face an unspoken resentment of returnees, which will translate into many forms of ostracism or rejection.

People coming from human zoos (Europe, USA, etc) will be shocked because it’s not a zoo here. You have no one who is responsible for you, guard you, or give you a list of things not to eat or to drink. You have to constantly use 100% of your native survival instincts and trust them.

Very thrilling, but not for people who have grown up under neon lamps. You have to be ready to experience life out of the zoo net!

If you don’t have the guts and stamina, you better stay in the human zoo. Here it’s close to the jungle. There is no one to clean your ass, and the competition for resource is tough.

Yet, the thrill is real. For people who love freedom and challenge, and have the instinct for business, it’s the best place on earth to be now!

Yes, Africa is truly the best place on earth to live and die, regardless of above observations. The genuine laughter, the unscripted kindness, the holy impulsiveness is so boundless. If you want to see what is humanity before capitalism destroy it all, Come visit Africa.

We still have a lot of work to do to get rid of the illness tied to the old methods and mentalities which are holding Africa back. There are alternatives, but the old guard is still strong and forcefully defending the status quo.

Progress is slow, but change is on the way with a new generation of young africans who are hungrier and more impatient …a generation that realizes that it’s true potential is in its mind and in its hands, not in the checkbooks of foreign donors!

For Africans in the diaspora who don’t have money, one of the best approach is to return to their country for short periods and invest in understanding, meet people, work the paths, take notice, leave tracks, and wait for the moment!

If you could go over the shame of “un-success” in the West or abroad, and take small steps toward your return to Africa, you’ll be greatly rewarded after only a short period of time.
So my brother, for you to relocate, have no fears. Just plan, visit, re-plan, visit and alter your plan again … Also try to hedge your risks. Always have an Option B (even option C). Then ask questions too. Don’t relocate at same time with your family. Come in first. You can get a job first and with time you can decide to do other stuffs. But please don’t kid yourself, a sea of opportunities exist in this country called Nigeria and so many sectors are still either virgin or untapped. It’s not easy doing business, but it’s well worth taking a plunge, if you ask me. The decision is yours to make.” Shared a Nigerian who has successful returned.

No one could be respected or could ever claim ownership of a land he/she has not built, no matter the number of years he/she has lived there. Africans in the Diaspora have to come to build a place they could call Home.

Nothing good comes easy. Outsiders come to Africa to invest and they are making it, while the land owners are there in another man’s land struggling! Just have it in mind that a home you did not Arrange can never be yours.

True talk.Gbayi!!!!

I read all and didn't regret.Kudos

Success is not measured by the material possessions you store up for yourself. At the end of the day we die and leave everything behind.

Those who are determined to be rich stab themselves with many pains. Daily bread should be sufficient for us.

Oyibos live a simple life that is why they live older than we do. Check out the life expectancy in Nigeria, 40-60years?

Living in diaspora doesn't mean you have access to all the dollars either is it a criteria to be rich. One good thing is having the basic amenities for lifes comfort.

A beautiful bright light…all points made exactly as they should have been, because African's blacks, they have their own government-I think, own military-I think, own universities-I think, own land-I think and yet they have to leave Africa to obtain a better life, a better education and better health care. We Black Africans in the Diasporas should be going to Africa to receive all the above…not the other way around.

Look, our leaders are wicked. They travel overseas enjoy all they see there but cannot implement all they have seen and benefitted from back in Nigeria.

We all cannot suffer and die in Africa. I am into Information Technology now how do I survive if government cannot provide the masses with regular electricity? No good roads, no regular running water, no security those are the basic things that will entice investors.

Chinese immigration is generally for seizing business opportunities in foreign lands by conquering a space or an avenue so strongly that part become their China-town. They build underground network and unspoken code of honor to protect themselves again the locals.

Unforttunately, African immigration is often a self-servitude road, without any strategic intent, where most of our people end up becoming street cleaners, employees in someone else business or organization, good to take order and obey, looking after elderly incontinent people in Paris or London, and send painfully some remittance to families back home. Some are much luckier, they work in subaltern management positions in corporate America or in public institution in Europe.

Now, It doesn’t come as a surprise if Africans with the Philippines are the poorest diaspora in the world with also the lowest social status.

Immigration is for conquering lands and resources for one’s community.

Look how much lands europeans have in Africa. Look how much power the yield here, and their social status.

How much land do Africans have in Europe? How many Big companies do they own? What is their social status as a community?

The Europeans knows what they want and how to get it done but an average Nigerian just want to be rich not successful.
Europeans with 2 nice cars and they are happy but thats not the case as a Nigerian.
These people are corrupt too but they know how to execute it without suffering the masses .

I am pretty sure you have not set your feet abroad or lived there before. Africans do well as individuals and as you know most of us have hatred for one another and always believe in competition.

Policies of most countries make it difficult for Africans to break through. If you are referring to African American that is understood but again you see the stigma they are facing in America and how whites who kill African Americans get away with it.

Don't compare chinese with Africans or Nigerians. Compare other smaller nations that are striving or a 3rd world nation. The first chinatown was in the 1500(in the Philippines) where was Nigeria then?

Forget about Nigerians in diaspora and concentrate on getting the government to better our country. Some Nigerians are doctors in Australia and they earn $150-$250 per hour multiply that by 8hours? Multiply by 364days?
Heaps of Nigerians are willing to return to invest but like i said ealier the government need to put things in place. For those who have decided not to return its there choice and should be respected.

Travel abroad, live there and come tell your story.

Travel abroad, live there and come tell your story.

In South Africa only, there are 6+ millions europeans. France which is the biggest European country with African immigrants has 4.5 millions Africans (more than 70% are from North Africa: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia).

In Zimbabwe only there are more than half a million British and other europeans, which is about 25% of the 2+ million African immigrants in UK coming in from 55 countries!

Also, did you know that there are more Arabs in Africa than in the Middle East. And, there are more Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in Africa than in UK and all Europeans countries combined.

Africans welcome all those people without ever committing a Genocide or racist crime on them. In contrary, most of those immigrants have very good positions and social status.

If Africa have to chase Europeans , Asians back home, like some are talking about Africans in Europe, those who will suffer the most are the Europeans ....how can we move forward when you can't fight for your country ,instead you travel out there where your existence is not noticed

They need us more than we need them

Sorry, I have never been to abroad before

Real estate investing in Lagos is profitable if you know how and where to invest. When you invest appropriately in Nigeria property, you can easily earn as high as 20 - 30 percent growth in your investment year on year with almost zero work.

The on-going expansion of the existing Epe Expressway that links Victoria Island and Lekki to Epe with additional coastal road and a marina, will further open up the neighbourhoods of the Lekki corridor, of which Ibeju-Lekki forms a great part. This means that there will be a steady and guaranteed appreciation of property values.
