Nigerians Studying Abroad: Would You Go Back Home To Work?

Of course we all have a sprinkle of success stories.  But do you know examples of any failures?  I know plenty.

Wow!  Very few people see facts for what it really is.  You clearly do.  Good job.

The matter of fact Nigeria is over populated they alot of people have to be outside the countries, if people schooling abroad goes back and take the jobs available or open buisnesses what about the people that are there.

I just wanna go home, even though there is corruption, and no securities, what about if we all go and make this changes. Am studying nursing, got a year to go, will definitely work for another 5yrs to gather my capital together, then go back home to create employment opportunities for fresh graduates. With the help of an organization here (God's grace), am setting up a an orphanage for kids who are HIV+, and these kids are not only from Nigeria, they are from all over the the under/developing countries where they have been resigned to faith?left to die as if it was their fault.
These is to all you guys out there wishing to go back home and make a difference, I'll let you know as soon as the organization kicks off for help and advice. Planing to start with just about 10 kids, 4 Nigerians, 3 from Lesotho and 3 from Zimbabwe, but i have been adviced to start with all Nigerians after i discussed my fear of staying focused and society's reaction to these children, I can't bear causing them more pains if people will start pointing fingers, coz i really plan on treating them big time, taking them places and giving them a chance of being a normal children for once. just pray for me to stay focused, starting with 10, who knows, we could be housing 300 in the next couple of years. That will create Job for at least 12 fresh graduates (God's grace of course!) if i could do this, anyone can. Stay Blessed Guys plus give it a thot.

Most Nigerians are not living in diaspora to admire skyscrappers and street lights. There are compelling reasons and we'll know what they are. Once those factors change, you will see a reverse trend. It's simple economics. Life for every man is the pursuit of happiness.

You know really in Nigeria, you can really find a job to pay you that amount: and the job description will make you do the wrong things.

like the Youth Corper that worked for El Rufai who was about to be investigated by the EFCC(sometime last year). They said she collects 1-million naira per month. Image? Youth Corper? she fled to the U.S

Now if she collected 1-mil/month as a Youth Corper, lets ask the question: what was her job description? what will be her salary level if she had completed 1-yr of NYSC

if I find something good @ home ,  why not if not

Sure bet I would go back home & work

But if na some nonsense pay

Pleaasssseeeeeeeeeee

My first aim if 6 digits in foreign currency ,, then 7 digits later

not in naija currency

But I would love to bring up ma children the naija style

Ma guy

I love the naija style o

I no go lie you

me specifically would recimmend it for all growing kids

It helps a lot



But if I get better paid abroad

Then

Sorry

There is hope

There is hope in nigeria,

Good responses from u all, but dont forget the place of God. Seek his guidance!

if the situation there is good i would definitely go back home to work

no

@funloving
you have spoken the exact truth

Its not bad going back but its the ease of settling down and being comfortable that is questionable. You have to be really rich to live the kind of lives u live here with bare necessities made readily available. Think about not having light all the time which y'all used to, cept if u have a 24 hr generator. Think about water accessibility, police stopping u on the street all the time cos u drive a big car, buying land and building your own house (no mortgage and loans readily available !!!)ets etc etc, 

The price to pay working there is more than u would pay working here. what u have to work out is how much it will cost u to live and work in nigeria. (there r ofcourse advantages but the disadvantages, i think, far outweigh the advantages)

In asmuch as most of us will like to return home to work (myself excluded!!!), many will not be able to stand the harsh conditions as compared to what u r used to living outside.

i don't think i will like to go back to my country after my education here in the state.This is because the career am goind for is not valued in my country.I want to make it real big that is why i came here. i may decide to go back when i am old and can't work again and look for a good business like trade.

I will go back home for the following reasons:

There is no place like home.

I believe there is a reason why we are born where we are born.

Really if we dont go back and help develop naija, who else will?
