Don't get it twisted those guys have british passport already and are only looking for opportunity in Nigeria and at any point they feel they are not getting it they will return back to the UK. Have you seen anyone still trying to get their British passport returning home voluntarily. Please save us all these stories. 20 Likes 1 Share |

justwise: I am not lying.People live in abject poverty in the UK, especially among blacks and other ethnic minority that are traditionally poor.Many children go with just one meal a day in London, that is if they are lucky to get hand out from food banks that millions depend on to get by. Cramped up in some cold,damp and dingy high priced bedsit or two bedroom flat in Peckham, Brixton, Plaistow or elephant and castle. Africa is the next big thing, whether good or bad at the moment, and a person with determination and vision can change the lives of not just himself, but for millions.And it is high time we began to feel ashamed as a people that can't independently hold a society together in the 21st century, irrespective of what we choose to blame for our predicaments. 7 Likes |

To all those "Check Your Friends" writers. What is your definition of those who have "made it" Stop being myopic. There are loads of Doctors, Pharmacist, Lawyers, IT specialist.... Who have "made it" and will never dream of coming back. Coming back to what? Mosquitoes No power supply Air Pollution Noise Pollution To a system that have refused to work despite all the big budgets and nothing to show. I won't be replying to any "Check Your Friends". I don't understand the language of myopic individuals. 4 Likes |

redsun: I don't have a single friend who lives in poverty or struggling to have something to eat. When you leave Nigeria to any country with the wrong paper you will struggle to survive. When you leave above your income you will struggle. When you are lazy to work even with the right paper you will struggle. If you don't have strong source of income why having too many kids or renting an expensive accommodation? 25 Likes 1 Share |

benben1000: The real reason your uncles in America are not coming back home is because they are illegal immigrant in the US, if they live they will be grounded in Nigeria. The once in Europe and Asia comes home regularly because they have papers. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Britain is a hell of a country. Living is hard as everything is being monetized. You got to pay for everything. And once your study visa expires if it was studying that brought you, you'd be bundle back home. You can't just own more than two cars without specifying a convincing means of income. There's nothing like tax evasion because it's a serious crime, no even think am. That country no get chill. 4 Likes |

philip0906: This is what day-dreamers don't know before they take the leap. Except you're able to carve a unique niche for yourself or demonstrate a high degree of excellence at redefining erstwhile nominal products, goods & services, with some fairly robust capital base at hand to handle all overheads and even contingencies; you may find "making it big" becoming a tenuously slow climb, uphill! There is no arguing the fact that it is extremely easy to make it in Nigeria with the country's banana republic indices. folks traveling out are not stupid but it's all about the Benns, ur competitive advantage and the strategic advantage that you gain from having been around the world not just sitting here doing the same old, same old crap with them home-based lots. What are we even arguing sef? Just how many of our current leaders were only all 100%home-grown? From pre-independence Nigeria, the Azikwes, the Awolowos, the Tafawa Balewas even presently serving PMB and it's not hard to figure out. There's a lot of money ti be made and relevance to be gained from assisting, importing or catalyzing refined ideas, goods, services or practices from more advanced societies to lesser developed ones. brownlord: Broaden your perspectives man. Just how hard is it to "make it" as a legal immigrant in US? Entry level requirement is quite low. Once you can keep ur job, pay your bills/taxes, fly under the radar and stay off illegalities and stupid expenses. Mind you, the "making it" has levels, what you'll get from all stated above will allow you to flaunt and floss a bit on peeps back home, in the village! It's not such a big deal anymore, even you yourself, could try getting out and seeing a bit of the world some time. What you'll find will amaze you. 6 Likes 1 Share |

frosbel2: And in Nigeria, there are no jobs with plenty of free time because of it. Plus they have very little possessions hence no need to be in debt. I think i'll stick with America if i had the choice. 3 Likes |

NOETHNICITY: Define "made it". The problem with Nigerian is money is you all's god. Don't get me wrong. Money is important but the way you people treat it is the reason for you problems as a people. |
