wanderlustian:school is not free U pay FOr it with taxes nothing in America is free . Everthing u see here is paid for The only diffrence from yer 9ja and my America is the value of the money and and the fact America has had years 2 develop off the free labor of millions of slaves And now cheap labor of millions overseas and pulling of money from the hands of the poor of her land. •••••••• Tap can be fixed and so can school The solution is not 2 pick up and go But make yer country a better place because every1 cant go like u 2 Likes |

ILuvGummyBearz: Really!!! I'm hearing these for the first time, and this discourse is quite a refreshing eye opener. But will you trade living in the USA for living in Nigeria? Will you trade places with me? |

ILuvGummyBearz: Personally, I have not given running away a thought because of my 'ties' to Nigeria which are really very strong, but how do we make our country a better place if there is no opportunity? I will have to be in a position of power to make concrete changes but have you heard of jazz? The kind of voodoo and political assassination going on in politics is not worth your life |

wanderlustian:nope im headed 2 kenya. Gonna open up a shop and help the economy AND improve on my living sistuation because if u arent middle class and above America is no dream The challenges of living in my country and yers are diffrent. I guess yer desire to live here and my desire 2live there are based on what we consider most important. |

I also support staying back to make Nigeria a better place but Nigerians have been battered and broken and beaten, they have lost hope. The remainder of them have plans to also embezzle if they ever get into power. Nigeria needs a benevolent dictator. Someone who will enforce things with force. There is no punishment for misdeeds, thats another plus where America is concerned. I watch Crime and Investigation Channel on TV and see that if you commit the crime you do the time. In Nigeria, if you have money, you can get away with anything. Even mass murder. 3 Likes |

ILuvGummyBearz: Please come to Nigeria. I will help you settle in easily. I've been to Kenya. They are a few years behind Nigeria. Infact, Nigeria left Kenya in the 1980s. I will help u get accommodation in Lekki, get you a 7kva generator (diesel), assist you with immigration documents so you can open your shop (in Nigeria, just grease someone a few bucks and this is done easily). Your house will have pumping machine and we will hire one aboki to man your gates. (Just bring the dollars, and leave the rest to me) You will love Nigeria, you dont need prescription for meds, a roadside chemist will sell everything OTC to you. So if you ever catch malaria which is inevitable, Obinna the chemist (who is most probably a high school dropout) will fix you in no time with Amalar or Coartem for $2 or less. If you are not married, there will be a thousand Nigerians boys queuing to marry you. Don't worry, I can easily offer you one of my brothers. And as a foreigner, you will most likely make money here. We favour foreigners over ourselves. Sad situation 4 Likes |

ILuvGummyBearz: Naaa, it's what we call it here too. Infact, you get congratulated for exiting. Each time I travel and return, people wonder if I have my head screwed on tight. Like really, why return? Personally, I can't stay in one place for too long. I like to jump from country to country and return to base. For 2017, I desire to visit Singapore, Argentina, France and Spain. If I run away to USA, I will be out of status and will be stuck, hence will make me very uncomfortable. |

ILuvGummyBearz:Yes. He had like one yr left in his tenure when I moved there. I'm presently a paralegal student, and will soon be an intern. Luckily for me, the median salary would be enough to sustain me..to the near future I agree that the taxes here are crazy, and excessive business regulations are driving many businesses away from here. Now, we have to pay 50 cents to buy a plastic paper bag at the grocery store thanks to the voters |

ILuvGummyBearz:I initially came to study economics, and work in the financial sector. But after a semester of school, I decided to switch. My siblings and mum were already here, so they encouraged to come over to join them. I left for the US about 3 months after writing my last NECO exam. |

ILuvGummyBearz:For most of us who are immigrants, the opportunity for a better economic standing, and obtaining world class tertiary education are the main attractions of the US and other G-8 countries. In general terms, the difference in quality between US and Nigerian tertiary education is like day and night. 3 Likes |
