Are more British-born Nigerians moving back to Nigeria ? by murtalaa(m): 2:22pm On Feb 16, 2013 |
Although many young Nigerians dream of Britain as an Eldorado and would even give a limb for a British visa, many well-educated Britons of Nigerian descent are choosing to relocate to their parents’ country of birth. KIMBERLY WARD speaks with some of the returnees to find out why they decided to make the transition from Britain, their adoptive country, to Nigeria, their fatherland source: http://www.leadership.ng/nga/articles/47835/2013/02/16/exodus_movement_britishborn_nigeriansback_nigeria.html 1 Like |

Much as I tried to convince myself this is happening, I want to believe the stat can't be that impressing. Why I said so? Aside winning AFCON, our image abroad is not palatable at all. From epileptic power, insecurity to terrorism and corruption, the list is endless. I am asking myself "Why would anyone want to leave the comfort of Europe for Nigeria of all places?" God help this country! 3 Likes |

God help this country! Because you're a negative-minded person who sees only bad, even when that bad has never touched you. When last were you or anyone you know the victim of terrorism? Or the victim of 'insecurity'? Answer: NEVER. Yet this is all you see when you think of Nigeria. Thankfully, the returnees have a more rounded, intelligent attitude. 39 Likes |

mods front page. UK = to much rules, to much procedure, to much tax, poor food, no culture, no sense of belonging etc Humans are not meant to be living such a 'restricted' life so no matter how much money you make the place will always feel souless and feel like you own nothing at the end of your working life. Better go back to Naija even if it means starting with a small shop selling fruit. Not so easy for the older guys with kids but if you are young, single and have a 'base' (somewhere to Stay/family) then Naija = endless possibilities. 10X better than working some shitty job for peanuts where over half your salary goes on rent. 7 Likes |

bethnals: mods front page. I agree with you 200%. This thread has been submitted to go to the front page, so we'll wait and see what happens. I understand what you mean - I have concluded that there is no legitimate reason for any Nigerian to remain in the UK, other than that they have raised a family here. 2 Likes |

lol at the report. So the reporter found 3 or 4 people who relocated to Nigeria and is almost jumping into conclusion that most of them are relocating back. Fair enough I will keep an open mind till i come to Nigeria this year.I'll try and float my company and see what happens. 4 Likes |

Is it just me or I see more British born Nigerians moving back to Nigeria vs. US born Nigerians. The US is more tolerable and more conducive environment to leave in. I don't think you could ever pay me enough to leave in UK. The taxes are moderate in the State compared with the UK and although there is no universal health plan, work in a decent environment and you get a good health plan. Just my two cents 1 Like |

The issue with the UK is that most Nigerians are seeking white collar jobs,while those with handy work which are not traceable/taxable by the Government are making serious money.The EU laws are killing the Uk economy,Bulgarians and Romanians are trooping to the UK in search of job.Don't forget these people can move into the UK without VISA.They are mostly Artisans with various skills and are white colored.So there is pressure for for the little jobs available,these Eastern Europeans offer cheap labour like Africans too. 4 Likes |

Many are coming back home because they realised they can make more money here without questions asked than they would if they remained in the UK.The UK is not as profitable or fashionable as before.THEY SHOULD NOT TELL US THAT THE LOVE OF NIGERIA BROUGHT THEM BACK. 6 Likes |
