10 Reasons Why I'm Leaving America And Moving To Nigeria by Glamrock(f): 12:06pm On Mar 15, 2015
1. The food - GMO this and that. Unhealthy foods and seasonings giving us cancers and diabetes. Keeping people sick through foods. A science study has shown that African Americans will be extinct in America in 100yrs or less just from the food alone.

2. Weather - 9Months of cold weather and 3months of warm weather. I hate being cold I feel home sick. This is not my natural habitat. I need the sun 24/7. I need all my vitamin D intake smiley

3. Floride - in our drinking water. We can not escape it. keeping our Pineal glands decalcified. Same thing Hitler used on his holocaust victims before he exterminated his whole camp, but that's another story..

4. Language - I want to learn traditional African languages. I want to hear it and learn to speak it. Whether it be Hausa, Yoruba, igbo, basic pidgin etc.

5. Culture - here we are not taught anything prior to slavery. It wasn't until about 4 years ago when I finally learned about the truth. About my cultural history. I knew I was of African decent, I just didn't know anything else. Anything we are shown about Africa is the poverty and wars. They really keep the greatness of the culture hidden. Probably to keep us from wanting to come back because now that I know what I know I'm in love with where I came from and who I truly am. I'm 27 now with an almost 9yr old daughter. She deserves to see, learn and live her true culture. I feel so home sick embarassed

6. Materialism - so much technology so many distractions, It's nothing wrong with having nice things. People just need to realize because you have something someone else doesn't doesn't mean you're superior . ThIs can happen anywhere. I just point it out because a lot of people think because this is the "western world" it's better. We can not become robots lost in technology and materialism we just can't. We are human beings.

7. Roots - I have every right to want to come back it's my home too. I hate hearing people say I wasn't born there. What does that mean? Had my ancestors not been STOLEN I would have been born there. I am of African decent. I take pride in Africa. I'm no invader. Doesn't matter where I was born I am a child of the sun.

8. Spirituality - this is a spiritual move. Peace of mind. When The ancestors speak I listen. I know you have Christianity and Islam but I really would like to see and learn more about African traditional religions.

9. Development - I think it's time for not just me, but majority of African Americans to take our knowledge and skills back to the motherland to contribute to the continents development. Why does the world Rob Africa and then eat without her?. you are a developing country soon You wil. Have all the things you think is so great in the western world. Your resources are RICH! Just be patient

10. I think you knew this was coming. The main reason of all. INEQUALITY / RACISM
I am so sick and tired of being treated different because of the color of my skin. I am sick of watching these white people kill my people and get away with it just because whites are dominant . It's Not right. How. Long do we have to fight for freedom? We are still fight after 400+ yrs Sometimes I can't even sleep in my bed at night because I'm wondering who's next or what's going to happen tomorrow. I'm sick of being seen as less than an animal. And it's so normal here a lot of people just ignores it! I can't its an insult to my soul. I can't take it I am not free.

Now believe it or not I just gave you 10. If I told you every reason I'd be writing all night. I'm use to being discourage about this big decision I've chose in my life. So please don't Comment telling me why I should stay here and shouldn't come there. Especially if you never been here. Its different when you live here. Every body here is not rich and everybody is not living like celebrities. Out of 43million African Americans only about 1% is really living that way. I just want the truth to be told because I read all the time about Africans wanting to come here because they think it's better here, and we have it so great. We are in a constant war here. You are blessed. You are children of the sun.

You're a very intelligent woman. I like your determination, passion and positive views about Africa. I just wish other African Americans will think like you.

Come back to Africa my dear!

You are brave. You have taken the right decision but at the wrong time undecided.

Africa and Nigeria in particular is not a place i will advice anybody to visit at this period of election. Every body is living in fear because nobody is sure of what is going to happen in the next hour.

Election is by the corner pls stay where you are... After the election when power must have CHANGED hands, then you can come.

really?? you came to give us reasons why you want yo come over here but you don't want us to air our views if you should stay or not?

how pathetic undecided

you talk as if life here in Nigeria or in the various countries in Africa is better than were you are, keep leaving in denial.

we have worse problems here than over there,
sexism, religious hatred, tribalism, corruption, homophobic idoits, educated illiterates etc

if you choose to come here be prepared for the above,
no where is better.

just appreciate where you are and stop complaining!!! angry angry

I guess you dreamt about Martin Luther King!
I hope with your writeup that people can see that even in america, slavery is extreme but the media covers it with lies. In case you wanna move to Africa, South Africa is the best place to blend in

Ok, let me counter this...
1) Food - Unless you are ready to start eating expired or fake products. Heck, even alomo had to put hologram seal to prove authenticity. Nafdac in this country is dead on arrival.

2) Weather - Unless you are willing to allocate 30% of your everyday budget to bleaching cream. The sun is deadly.

3) Flouride - Trust me, it's better to have flouride in your water than the things we have here. When people like terry g are into water-making business, what do you expect? Refer to 1

4) Language - Unless you are planning on moving to the rural parts of the country.

5) Culture - Refer to (4)

6)Materialism - Nigerians are worse. Do you know how much they spend on weddings(asoebi e.t.c)? Let me stop here

7) Roots - Refer to (4)

cool Spirituality - Wait till you are being told to pay gate fee to enter church, nobody will tell you to run back. It's happening already. Christ embassy, anybody?

9) Development - Get ready to pay through you nose. A case in point is where Chevron wanted to develop somewhere along alpha beach. The people of the land had the nerve to tell chevron to pay them first for wanting to develop their land o.

10) Racism - Unless you are from the minority tribe, don't bother coming back. Ethnicism and tribalism among Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba is at its peak, and can never be stopped unless this country is divided. You wouldn't want that, would you?

NUMBER 11 AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL. GEJ HAS DONE EXCEPTIONALLY WELL IN BOLSTERING THE ECONOMY DESPITE DWINDLING OIL PRICES AND INSURGENCY.

MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER TO BE ABLE TO VOTE. AND IF YOU HAVE REGISTERED BEFORE, COLLECT YOUR PVC AND VOTE IN GEJ FOR CONTINUITY.

BE REST ASSURED, YOUR FRIENDS WILL JOIN YOU TOO DOWN HERE.

Bro, I don't think she wants to come to Nigeria now. Cause one must plan for a journey before executing. @ Glamrock are you planning to come now in this election time?
