Why do most wealthy Nigerians prefer to live in Nigeria than to relocate abroad permanently?

Kenn55:
The answer is simple. They can't get the level of respect and worship they get in Nigeria when they reside abroad. Secondly, their source of wealth will be questioned.

Abroad is a leveler of men, nobody send anybody. No special interest or recognition, no police or army following you around carrying your bag and umbrella for you cos you are a big man,everybody has 24/7 light, everybody has water rushing in their homes, everybody enjoys good roads, everybody can afford to travel to other countries because of their passport if they can afford a flight ticket not because they have billions in the bank to show the embassy etc.

So at the end, the gap between the rich and poor is narrow so nobody is going to become a slave to another person because they are rich in abroad.

So if you are a Nigerian big man, you don't want to live in a place where you become an ordinary person, you will rather want to live in a place where your wealth can make you a "god" in the eyes of the people and you can use them and the system to your advantage. In Nigeria, if you are rich, the police, judiciary,pastors etc will do your bidding, in abroad, nobody cares.

But then, don't forget that despite that, most still have properties abroad and their children also have one leg abroad through citizenship or residency incase of incasity Don't let them fool you, they are WISE

Say that to Diezani Alison-Madueke or Abacha family, how are they enjoying it?

SmartyPants:


Really? Lol.

The rich barely pay tax abroad...they hide their money in all sorts of legal vehicles.

The truth is that Nigeria is a wonderfuul place to live for the rich.

Using Forbes and Bloomberg, no black billionaire in all of Europe. Adebayo Ogunlesi could have been one, but he is not a dollar billionaire. Meanwhile, there are substantial British-Indians and British-Pakistanis who are dollar billionaires. If a black billionaire is to emerge from Europe, the UK is the most likeliest of places. I don't see France or Italy producing such. I for Impossicant.

BTW, which kind entrepreneurship una wey dey UK dey do sef? E get why I talk say Nigerians are not entrepreneurial. Close to or more than 300K British-Nigerians in the UK, no billionaire. God bless the US sha. If capitalism didn't dey, e didn't dey.

Because it's easier and convenient, cheap helps, cheap bills etc.

They can't hide their wealth abroad but that can do that comfortably in Nigeria.

maasoap:

You are naive again to think that Abacha's family or Diezani are not enjoy their loot.

Because is always better to be a king in your village than being a slave in a city.
