Hardship In US. Forces Nigerians Home

I've always been one. Ask around.

Nigerians, keep same attitude and don't even think of making a change, Instead rely on those who made there country good for their children.(if they didn't fight for it, how will it be better today).

Anyway its normal to go abroad to work if the payment is better, But not going back home ? Thats bulshit and I don't know why people will wanna spend their life-time abroad instead of making a positive difference to their country since they have the chance. (why do we blame our leaders for selfishness since someone us are selfish also).

I see most people rushing down here (Europe) and mostly Americans, well visa will be more hell to get this days mostly from Africa, I see eathmama atleast she is willing to go back to Nigeria to make her own positive contribution, This is all what we should all try to do so we can help and assist those that don't have the  chance or opportunity of better life and it will also improve the economy in Nigeria.

 

While some of the Nigerians resident in the United States do visit Nigeria now and then to touch base with their ancestral homes, any romantic notions of  remaining in Nigeria are promptly quelled by any of the following occurrences.

1.  Attack by armed robbers on the way from Lagos airport and before the travellers reach their destination.

2.  Three hour delay by policemen on the way from Lagos airport, during which all baggage is taken apart and searched for cash and valuables, which are likely to be confiscated by the long arm of the law in exchange for free passage into the hands of the next gang of policemen.

3.  Arriving into a dwelling that has not been supplied with grid electricity for several years, and where the newly refurbished Aba-made Indian generator breaks down in perfect timing with the arrival of the homecoming guest.

4.  Attack by armed robbers at the residence of the new arrival, followed by a leisurely rape and robbery of all victims found therein, even as the escapees try to summon the police by phone, only to find that the phone is dead, or that even when it works, to be informed by the police that there is either no fuel for the only working patrol vehicle, or that the officer holding the armory keys has returned to his hometown for the New Yam Festival.

5. Surviving or evading the police and armed robber welcoming committee, only to be confronted daily by scores of people sitting patiently outside the new arrival's house, and all claiming to be relatives of the newly arrived "Dollar Man", and all with well rehearsed sob stories of woes that can only be cured with a wad of hard currency.

6. Getting stopped for three hours on what should be a fifteen-minute car ride, because the road is filled with craters big enough to conceal a battle tank, and during that gridlock, to be robbed at knife or gunpoint by roving robbery gangs who specialize in fleecing the occupants of trapped cars.

Dios keep your itinerary secret, your dress casual, your accent local,  and the world will turn.

I Agree; the lady that was brutalised by the Naval ratings; whose father is high up; guess thats 1st class citizenry treatment.
Although; Regardless Home is still Home; home also is where u make it.

as if there is no brutality in those countries where you all run to.

Brother, If you meant solving Nigeria's problem then you should know even those abroad are making more effort than Nigerians staying in Nigeria. I have made several comments and and introduced things in this forum but most have negative response, See you might not know for sure but seriously one just have to have something better and Nigeria as nothing to offer for its citizens , lets all be clear in this

If you get a job means others will get ?, if you have a degree means others will have the opportunity to school ? , Nigeria is fucked and we all see it, should people wait there and keep hoping ? most Nigerians there prefare yahoo yahoo cus it seems the best business to survive. having a better life in Nigeria is luck and only few have it, no chance of better luck and no hope in having one. Give me 2 opportunities Nigeria government have to offer its citizens,


Sure its very hard here, But get the clue, while its hard, you are making things gradually. Its just hard in making them but surely you will be having what you want, no doubt.

Give me 2 things Nigeria government offers its citizens for a better life, ?

For as long as the legs are "run-able" i guess!

No, Americans in America complain too. I think it's until we don't have any other place to run to. Imagine some hinting they will run to Ghana.

Why would a solution, based on quelling complaints simply by shutting the people up, work? For those who believe 500,000 Nigerians are actually moving back to Nigeria for good, wait just a month or two, and you go hear real complaining. lol!!

Yeap--Cost of Living will definately become more expensive; Crime will Increase; Nigerians living in nigeria will start complaining of their jobs been taken by returnees who have learnt the value of hardwork and better qualified & equipment ,  omo there will be real complaining

gO HOME!

They are so lazy, they want to live in comfort, no wonder most of them find themselves in jail trying to make it big overseas.

Diasporians.
