I think, its due to lack of esteem or value in our environment, our environment most of the time looks like war zones and is not even fit for animals.

The society is just existing, does not improve, and poverty is high, and self education is low, people are not exposed, they may be smart thugs but the society is still poor in how it conducts itself.

So because of the emptiness of the society, its a thing of pride to have someone outside the environment. An environment with very poor education and self esteem.

People are traumatized, confused, and the environment is not inspiring, they struggle, and with so much lack and suffering, people love the idea of something different, outside the norm of suffering.

This is my poor understanding i would like to know more.

I noticed that most Nigerians feel so much achievement upon having a family member outside the country. I have seen Nigerians proudly declare the following (just an example tough) :

1. My uncle in Canada

2. My Aunty in UK

3. My Brother in the US

4. My son in Germany

5. My cousin in South Africa

6. My husband is in the United Arab Emirates

7. My daughter in Italy

8. My brother in Malaysia

9. My nephew in India

10. My brother sister uncle daughter son in Kuwait
Etc.
I observe a pride in each of these people, and I realized that it doesn't even matter which country the family resides in, for the homers, they always feel like they won a noble prize by having a family abroad.
Some of these people have families in Indonesia, Malaysia, Israel, Libya, Kuwait, Honduras, Greece etc. And they puff with pride as if it's a life worth achievement.
Others have families in the US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, South Africa, Australia etc, which is still note worthy.

But the Question is; why do most Nigerians count having a family abroad as a big achievement, and even make mockery of their fellow Nigerians who do not have a family member abroad. Or those who refuse to mention that they have families abroad?

Is it a Nigerian thing to behave like that, or is it a global thing, do other countries nationals behave like that?

Yes because as a Nigerian, the stress and the process of getting a Nigerian passport and a visa is as difficult as northern cabals handing power over to an Igboman from south east.

There is no successful or rich family in Nigeria without some of their family members living abroad (US, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Ireland, Canada, France, China, South Korea, Denmark, etc).



All your present and former Presidents, Governors, Ministers, Senators, Military Generals, Bank MDs, Company CEOs, successful entrepreneurs, etc have one or two or three of their family members living abroad, it's a form of future security against the unpredictable nature of Nigeria and its leadership which can somersault anytime, so sadly that's the reality for Nigeria shocked


Even Buhari your incumbent President know that war can break out in Nigeria anytime, so having some of your family members abroad ensures your family lineage won't be wiped out completely should war looming in Nigeria everyday breaks out cheesy

One reason rich people avoid poor old friends, there are certain utterances you make in discussions with them base on your wide experience, they’d see it as pride and might directly or indirectly kill you for it, but the rich ones would see it as a mere discussion and see it as topic for deliberations.

Very GOOD QUESTION.
Such Threads should be allowed to soar.
The Truth is, such is basically an African thing and most specially a Negro-African thing.

To a Caucasian, Traveling means leisure.
He travels to explore and learn newer ways of doing things and not to create tornadoes.
But most Nigerians leave the country for GREENER PASTURES and not for exploration.
So, leaving Nigeria is now a huge source of employment & forex which will definitely extend to family members.

Caucasians are also excited & boastful of their trips to other parts of the world. In Fact, such serves as an integral part of their RESUME' when applying for Jobs. But not for Greener Pastures and such can never be said of their relatives who rather assume an oblivious perception of their siblings trips.

Well said�

Its lack of human development index, or self development i guess, in summary grin grin grin.

Its the way some children grow up to value themselves in comparison to others, they see value in their parents wealth not handwork or trainings or skills. They develop this ideas that they are better than others or have a comparative advantage, in terms of the economic positions or environmental setup of their families.

so as adult sometimes this way of understanding oneself is expressed.

The last time I checked, I found out that people envy the things which they don't have. So I have no reason to envy them for their proud attitudes. And it's not the case of sending money, firstly you should know that nobody sends 1000 dollars home, and if true, then maybe in families with very poor financial situations.
But the point remains that most of these proud people have never received even a bottom dollar from their families abroad. Some have never even spoken to the families abroad, they just know that an uncle is in Canada, a cousin is in Ireland etc. Yet they pride themselves as if they won a gold medal or something.

Most of those who communicate regularly with their families abroad never exhibit such pride. I hope you understand me now? Thank you.
It’s simple economics. People are overjoyed when they get to work in an oil company in Nigeria, but not so much when they get a job in a private school; the reason is because of the difference in pay.
The same is true when you have a relative abroad, and they tell you stories of how sane it is, and the endless opportunities there. I am currently in the United States, and trust me, I have achieved in four years what I was unable to achieve in about 25yrs I was in Nigeria.
But I sometimes get very angry, because I sincerely believe that Nigerians in Nigeria deserve a better life than they have in Nigeria, but our leaders have continued to plunge the country into a banana-like republic.

Come to think of it, I think there is something that awes the human psyche about the word TRAVEL. Just make a mention of it where ever to, people gaze at out. People even get named after where they have been to. Neil Armstrong was not admired because the moon is better than earth, just the further he went. I think it's because we all all sojurners anyway.

Why are you so irritating? Didn't you read my post properly? I said the pride is what I'm pointing out. Nobody exhibit pride upon having an uncle in the village. I find it quite irrelevant when some people mention their families abroad for no sensible reason. Someone will be like, my aunty in US used to breathe. So, something like that happened on Saturday, and I just had to scream to this dude who spoke constantly of an aunty in Arlington, Texas, that I have families in the Houston, London, St Paul elsewhere too. It was so annoying, he over did it. He would be like, my aunty in Arlington used to poo. That was what made me create this thread. I still can remember back in my school day, how a teacher began mentioning her son in the US, until she asked those of us with families abroad to signify by raising up our hands. I didn't because I found it so stupid. This woman had the gut to ask the raised hands where their families resided abroad. She later noticed my hands were down, and knew I was being stubborn. So she asked me "you, no, you don't want to talk right". At the end she won since I conceded and replied her "my *** lives in Houston, United states of America.

So, yesterday's experience brought back the memory, and I created this thread. Now you understand.
