Youthleader22: Returning to Nigeria would have been the beauty of the story. At 55, he is spent, with nothing to build on. Where is he going to start now? Of course, the church will employ him. How long, how many hours of work can he do now? For how many years more? He made a lifetime mistake. There are many legal and legitimate ways to survive and make a living. His mistake was that he limited his options to one and it's funny you didn't see that as a grave mistake. We are talking about TIME, it's gone forever! 2 Likes |

toyetade:What is your status in the British society? If you are not one of the start up guys, or business men there exporting Nigeria, but just hustling and living the mundane 9/5, then shut up. A lot of Nigerians don't need to wake up and go to work by 9am, and still make much more than you. Am sure you are a 9/5iver trying to catch up with the British rat race, enjoy it and leave us in peace. I take vacations to UK, Dubai etc, but still love it here, and live here. stop sounding like a local man that just got an opportunity to travel out. Yes, I do business. All the top African business men and mega stars reside here, so it depends on what you do in Nigeria, I really don't envy you Nigerians working your ass out in the UK just to survive, no reasonable person will envy that life. It's just toiling. 2 Likes 1 Share |

dederocs:You are not worth my time because you have complex already and you don't think with your brain. The vacations you go to is after you applied for your visa which may or may not be granted. My British passport can take me to 184 countries without any visa. Keep on doing your so called business of 419 and fraud, kidnapping and ritual killings. Tell me how the business will be after 10years. I have no more time for you. We are worlds apart. 1 Like |

mu2sa2:FiRst, if he doesn't have Returning papers for re-entry into the u.k, he shouldn't Return because they would ban him permanently for over 10years and further till he sorts things out. 2.) He didn't or may not have established contacts to start up something in nigeria. He shouldn't return. You don't just appear anywhere and things start working. Look at you talking about him coming to sell gala, I wonder what kind of human being you are really |

MOnkeyBabe: Please see this my reply on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/5627471/nigerian-asylum-seeker-spent-21/3#85737419 Basically, I gave examples of people starting companies to package dried fruit and kuli kuli. Most people didn't consider it as a viable business, but those that saw the opportunity are now smiling to the bank as their products are in stores, restaurants, and airlines. It's just an example of the different opportunities that abound. The irony is the average Nigerian will say there are no jobs or opportunities, yet the average Chinese, Indian, Lebanese, comes here and exploits those same opportunities that we don't see - hiding in plain sight. 2 Likes |

MOnkeyBabe: Totally wrong. I'm not son of any politician, I'm self made. I'm not financially super rich but I'm ok. Most importantly, I'm not saying life is not hard in Nigeria, far from it. Life is hard especially for those just getting out of universities but its not as bad as some will like to portray the country. Also once you have traveled to other parts of the world you'll realize that every country has their own struggle. Obviously it's much much easier to make it from nothing in some other countries especially the developed countries. Nigeria has its advantages too but if you already have your mind made up that the country is fvcked up then you will not even see the opportunity even if it's sitting on your nose. Almost everytime I'm on flight, I'm always meeting foreigners coming to Nigeria to take advantage of the opportunities. Lastly, despite all the struggles in Nigeria, some actually prefer to live here than other places. So I totally understand the pain of those struggling to keep their heads above water but pls never give up, keep striving and one day you will get a breakthrough. Hard work, dreaming, luck and a little prayer is the way. Not just praying and expecting a miracle. 2 Likes |

MOnkeyBabe:I didn't say he should or shouldnt come back to nigeria. What i am saying is that if he had remained in nigeria and started with a small business like selling gala or sachet water, after 20 years he would have been better off compared to the miserable life he's living in london now. 1 Like 1 Share |
