When The Quest To Travel Abroad Becomes An Obsession

This is by far a menace that seriously needs to be curbed if not purged.Travelling abroad tho av been seen in the country by many uninformed people as a shortcut to wealth n enormous affluence.When planning to travel abroad,one has to make sure it is for the right reasons and for legitimate reasons.so much av been said about our bravas and sisters scattered all ova in diaspora barely managing to scrape a living out there and yet cannot come back to their home country because they will either be the laughing stock of friends and foes alike or worse still, face humiliation upon return at the Airports.The quest to travel out of the country ought not be an obsession if it is for a valid or good reason.

I have a friend that has just been refused visa to Europe for the 12th time.After critically examining his situation,i found out that he wants to travel out at all costs.i advised him to think properly and seek out productive opportunities lurking in the country.

A lot of people are still caught up in this obsession.It is our duty to counsel them or what do u guys think?

dude you can't advise anybody not to travel out no matter the number of refusals seeing as they are not going out sight seeing but as economic migrants,the only thing i think makes sense is to tell them the reality ofthings on ground but to now tell them to stay in nigeria and do something else is wrong especially if you are abroad then u can't stand on any moral highground to advice them not to travel

The quest to travel abroad becomes an obsession the minute you harbor the thought of departing your homeland without appropriate documentation
