Is This Abroad Thing Worth It?

i would like to hear from all Nigerians anywhere in the world, for those of us who have left Nigeria to reside out of Africa, do you think you made the right decision? Do you think that you are living your dream life? I am in Finland and even with the wonderful social service and free health and educational services, i still have a slight feeling of regret
So Please my Niaja land brothers is this abroad thing worth it at all?
The home we left is the best place in the world
Kindly drop your comment, it would be very helpful

It depends on where you at. Look for the opportunity around you. Be it school or business, grab it and Jet back home if you wish. Don't be fooled by all the social services. They sometimes use that to tie you down. Keep your eyes on the ball and follow your heart.

Hi, you did not say how long you've stayed in Finland and what exactly you are doing there.

For me, I am in London and I can say that it is worth it for sure. I cannot start telling you everything but trust me,  its worth it.

Meanwhile, your stay abroad and psyche depends a lot on who is around you. Some parts of London is like Lagos,  I don't mean as per infrastructure, but with respect to the number of Nigerians you see,

I attended a meeting (end of year) of my Villagers here in London, not my LGA ,  my Village!!!

Cheers

i think you are probably feeling home sick. I'm saying how many nigerians can you find in Finland? on like London and NY or DC and texas?

I do think it is worth it though because i don't really know what type of life i would have now if i had remaind in Nigeria( not saying that living there is bad) i'm talking about me personally. Living abroad is a struggle but i'm sure you'll make it work.

For some people it is worth it, for some it aint worth it, for others, it's decidedly mixed. Only you can make the best decision.

I don't know what Finland looks like but personally, i would not go to a country that does not have civil right laws and there must be a reasonable percentage of black populations. I don't think i can survive in some of these European countries.

 Get rich or die trying Before i die i must touch the sky, Try to do that and other things will follow.

Yes oh!  Proud to be an American any day. Love Nigeria--but na second best! You do not get a country that will give you a chance like the US--to be all you can be--yourself and more.  No matter what it is you want to do.  No strings attached.   What my own country could not do?  Please do not blame me.

If the Mississippi rejects me--I am dead anyway and do not have anything to do with that.  My spirit will still roam free like a true American!

But please let God let ma ashes flow to the river Niger and not Lagos bar beach with stinking dead whales!

omo boy, to me this abroad thing is worth it,if you no what you want.there are abundant oppurtunities out there,without going through any bottle neck or elbow,like it is in our almighty Nigeria,and people respect you for your hardwork.and i don't see the big deal of been a nigerian,that i must die in my father land bullshit,for heavensake why are we so nuts upstairs,we could have been born in the hellfire called  somalia for all there is,just because you were born in Nigeria does not mean you must die in Nigeria,the world has gone pass that.you can choose to be any where,provided you find peace,security,and the basic amenities in life that Nigeria can never afford to give Uliyel moke former minister of  power said before Nigeria will have steady power(electricity)it will be 2058,which means he might not live to see it happen not even his 16yr old son.is this the kind of country 1 should come back and die in,have been in malawi for 3months now and i can categorically tell you that for one day my brother light no blink.when will this ever happen in Nigeria with all our billion, billion.and this is a country that has nothing,i beg make una  live story.to me any place na home provided i can get the basic amenities to make life comfortable.

I am somehow indifferent about this but a lot of people think you can only make if you travel out of Nigeria. Some people don't seem to regard themselves as somebody until they have being in another part of the world.
My brother, manifest this saying; "be the change you wish to see in the world"
