professor rossike is a professor of philosophy and classical studies at the prestigious harvard university in boston thanks for your research but learn to be corteous about peoples opinion.
ROSSIKE:

This is the problem with you people. You just wake up and fantasize about these places, imbuing them with almost magical qualities. Here you are now making such a bold and loud claim without the merest research, and showing yourself up to be a total ignoramus:


''Nationwide in 2007, law enforcement cleared 44.5 percent of violent crimes and 16.5 percent of property crimes by arrest or exceptional means.'' in the USA.

Averaged out: 30% of crimes led to an arrest. Of that percentage, likely less than 15% led to a conviction.

ghananotnaija: I'm sure the US would be glad should you decide to relocate to Nigeria and never come back.

Ile Baba omo ki ba omo leru, wole wole, please make sure you have something to do in Nigeria before you come ooo, else you might be taken for wandering....I don't know why blacks don't know how to handle passage of time, if you come home, you might be going from frying pan to fire ooo

Thank you jare! Most people don't know that there is just little difference between Nigeria and the U.S. innocent and poor people serve sentences of crimes they know nothing about, while the priviledged rich are cut great sweetheart deals.

Do you know that a black person that stops for a white cop in the middle of nowhere while alone in the car may as well commit a suicide, cos its going to be your word against his, and who is going to believe you over dem racist bald head cops?

Mr Knowitall:

Well since you are making a claim you should back it up my friend. Maybe we should compare my knowledge about Nigeria to your

knowledge? But am assuming you are just one of those people that likes to talk a lot with very little substance.


"One of those people who like operate with open mouth and a closed brain" Do not embarrass yourself and take the challenge my

friend.
with d way u ask ur question nd the way u reply comment,its a big prove that u did not make it in U.S. U re looking for easy pay in Nigeria. U don't need to b shy come back home to ur people nd manage what they ve got even if u won't bring anything back wit u. With experience i know the person dat hv lived most of his life in U.S. Nd wanting to relocate will b someone dat hv accomplished sometin big nd he is just coming home to develop his country even if he needs a job dat won't be his problem cos he is successful. Not those that wnt there to waste their time nd come back with nothing. Mr man Nigeria police re hot if u try nonsense u will b dealt with

America is totally overrated, most Nigerians living there will relocate in an heartbeat if not because of shame of not having much to show for all the donkey years living in the so called Gods own country.

Re: Relocating From The United States Back To Nigeria: Advice Needed. by dbamiroyahoocom(m): 11:36pm On Dec 09, 2013
Better still, let me post it here unless you want to read my other blogs

Dont Come home to Nigeria if....

Like I said in my earlier blog:


"I have always laughed at foreign companies who come and set up shop in Nigeria and feel they can muscle in somehow just because they have access to money. This has always been similar to the returnees to Nigeria who come with a few thousand dollars and feel they are kings. They ship a long used car or sort of new car with flood insurance and maybe furniture they got very cheap and somehow begin to bother all of us struggling people in Nigeria with questions like "Whats going on in Nigeria?" or "So, guys, I am back! How do we make money in Nigeria?". Sometimes I wonder if they think we have all been sitting around waiting for them to bring the dollars home! Whats pitiful is that, One year down the road, they are completely as normal as we are, still telling stories of where they used to live in New York or wherever. Dont get me wrong, I dont resent them. I just wish they were better prepared to come home!"

My 10 point advice is simple and outlined below:

a) Dont come home if you have not invested Five trips to and from Nigeria at a minimum.
b) Dont come home if you cant be a facilitator of technology transfer. Bring home an idea and make it work in Nigeria before you come!
c) Dont come home if you dont have a bank account in Nigeria that is receiving inflow from whatever you are doing in Nigeria
d) Dont come home if you are not yet sending whatever it is you plan to sell in Nigeria home and someone is paying the proceeds in your account and you are logging in everyday with your internet banking and checking your deposits!
e) Dont come home if you havent signed an offer letter from your intended employers. Sign first, do the first month of work, as for 1 week leave to take care of some personal issues, take the very next available flight, arrive next day, close up shop for 3 days, do a hurried send off party and get the hell out of there!
f) Dont come home with promises from Uncles and Aunties who are in positions of power in Nigeria. Its just not bankable!
g) Dont come home if you have any lies of a big job you have been doing abroad! Nigerians are now well educated even in international matters! Your knowledge will surely be tested! Dont be discgraced. Too many people have been hired in Nigeria only to be let go 6 months later cos they are not as good as they are on paper!
h) Dont come home based on comparison with your mates! You are most likely coming to start at the bottom of the ladder. What did you think your mates were doing suffering all this while in Nigeria? Most of the time, you cannot match up with their spending style, living expenses and assets they have acquired over the same period of time! You are probably paying a mortgage and they are not!
i) Dont come home if you have not clearly identified a Plan B, assuming that your Plan A fails!
j) Most importantly again, dont come home if you have not invested time and presence in Nigeria over a minimum of 6 months! You must come and go and ensure you know 50% of what you want to come and do in Nigeria!

I daresay you can also apply this to a company that wishes to come and do business in Nigeria. I will talk about the laws of Nigeria in a separate post. One key thing that stands out with businesses that have survived in Nigeria - they have demonstrated they understand Nigeria.
Like I said before, there are some Nigerians I regard as "visitors in Nigeria with Nigerian passports". What can be worse than that.
I will leave this topic to reactions from readers rather than explain each point.
