You People?? How dare you I dont give f, K how long you have lived in the States, or how blue your passport is, how many ways you change your name, how well your accent has evolved, how many american kids you have, you are still Nigerian, denounce it all you want. At the end of the day, "Nigerian-American Immigrant" will precede your name or your parents name, either way, success or failure. Believe me, this is coming from a a person whose doesn't care a hoot about African and Nigeria in particular before I visited.  (You People) that you refer to have a very strong indomitable spirit that you can not begin to imagine. In the face of such hopelessness and plenty, people are still striving and surviving. In case you are wondering, I am half Nigerian and I visit that country 3 times a year and I love it, despite its challenges. Its my believe that (YOU PEOPLE) will make that nation better. Stay in the States, Nigerian-American Igbo Girl!

How dare me? LMFAO!!! If you don't give a f*#k then what the f*#k was your ranting all about?
Yes! I said "you people" meaning Nigerians living in Nigeria! What is your emotional rant all about? If you want Nigerians living abroad to come home then make Nigeria favorable for them. Fix Nigeria up and welcome them back home properly. Don't ask them to come home where they can't find a job or fight for jobs with those who's been living in Nigeria. If Nigerians in Nigeria can't even change Nigeria for the better while living there for how many years what makes them think those returning home can? Unless you people think Nigerians abroad are better equipped to develop Nigeria than Nigerians in Nigeria?
What is there to come back home to? Come back to kidnappings, bad roads, arm robberies, lack of electricity, lack of good healthcare, constant strikes by university professors and healthcare professionals due to govt refusing to pay them? When Nigeria is fixed and changed for the better trust me Nigerians abroad will not wait to be asked to return home.

You can be mixed with anything, half Nigeria half Chinese or whatever I could care less cos I don't see the relevance! If you visit 3 times a year, what contributions have you made so far? What schools, hospitals, roads etc have you helped to reconstruct? What jobs have you created? Why visit 3 times a year, why not just go and live there?

I can tell you though that while living abroad I have helped to reconstruct a school and sending necessary school supplies. My next project is healthcare and I will be here enjoying all the fabulous opportunities in America while causing a change in Nigeria. I don't need to return home and live in Nigeria to help make Nigeria better. I can do it from here and do it better than those living in Nigeria.

Oh hell no,I visit but I am not living in that wreck of a country,Nigeria? Oh no,where when you point out to people the right way to do things and they think you are snobbish,pls, I am comfortable here,as my own boss, I can vacation in Naija when I want.Those few going back cannot survive in the US,they will roast like hens when they hit Lagos .Losers.

Americans see green not color,many Africans live well here,even better than the native blacks,those who use their naija sense will not get caught up in the debt cycle.Nigeria cannot change from the ground up, it has to start from the leaders downward.They will all get swallowed up by the corrupt system.Good luck.

Dont hate because you can succeed in the land of opportunity,your mates are doing it,you are just sorry excuses.

@Igbogirl There is a flaw in intelligence. Most intelligent people dont know when to stop, and thats because they are usually right even when they are wrong and in NL you see them a lot. I do not have time to waste on back and forth. Sorry dear.

Did somebody see the RENT in the car? or is it just me. Who is the loser now, loser. Dont worry I will come visit in FDC or county if your lucky, when it happens. Mr. I am my own boss!

I'd rather be racially discriminated  by someone that looks different than be slaughtered by
someone that looks like me.

Fortunately, in the west if you show proficiency in any skill, the racial lines seem to fade.
(also if you are a success in general; actually then they even want to marry you).

However in nigeria if you like have 1st class in alien future technology, the employer will just
employ his illiterate nephew in th job and off to the village you pop.

Maybe in 2000 yrs time nigeria in general will have acquired the right mindset.
By then a generation of people who all know what the fuxck other nations are doing would have emerged.

Hackney you are an embarrassment to the black race, i wish you could be a fly on the wall and hear what white people REALLY think about black people. 

If there is anyone who is a monkey its you, you are a self hating monkey, why dont you hang out in Essex on a friday night and attempt to speak to a white girl and see what those white boys will do to your sorry a.s.s, s.tupid failure.

You sit in grim dilapidated hackney chatting s.hit about people who have had the courage to go home and make a change and you think because you are growing fat on mcdonalds and kfc you've achieved something, let me tell you something if not for the rule of law black people in britain would be toast, beleive me now that the recession is kicking in and more whites are loosing their jobs things will begin to change for blacks in this country, so you better wake up from your fantasy world.

I have been reading through all the posts on this thread and they are very informative despite the usually people who like to derail the real subject matter at hand. My suggestions based on my personal experience is


1. Strategize_[/b]Nigeria has many challenges and uncertainties you will face when you return home. _ to mitigate this, you need to do your homework very well when returning in terms of what these challenges you will be facing. It really depends on your emotional and intellectual ability to manage your surroundings.

2. [b]Adjust to your surroundings[/b]_if you are returning to start up a new venture be aware of  the 'attitude' nigerians have in terms of how they will percieve you when you return. You will be a target because you have not adjusted to the way things are done. Unlearn, re- learn or incorporate wh

3. [b]Solve problems instead of dwellling on them[/b]_You need to focus and stay away from people who only know how to complain and state problems without coming up with any solutions to these issues.

4.[b] Set timetables and a progression chart _You will need to establish a timetable for how far you are progressing on your stated goals

5.[b] Establish an exit strategy[/b]_If you come to the conclusion that things are not working out as planned and you have used up al other alternatives then it is best to abandon and exit the market.
