justwise:Life is actually wonderful there despite the lawlessness eating them up For instance,when a car breaks down on the highway,Lasma officials toll the car to their station where the driver is sure to drop some amount of money. But in a country tough with taxes and good insurance policies. It only takes a phone call to get the recovery team for assistance You are right.. Nigeria and Nigerians needs the prayers more 7 Likes |

momoyama:yes sir. That is my point. Once they know you don't want to leave your country, they allow you more travelling freedom. They know you won't likely jump your visa cos your country is Ok anyway. They know you only want to travel for tourism and not to burden their economy with immigration so they encourage you to come and boost their economy with your tourist money so the lesser we travel for immigration purposes the stronger the passport. |

helpee: Understood. I am not a Nigerian, so just curious. I think it is very unusual how few countries Nigerians can visit without visas. I also have Nigerian friends who have complained of the difficulties of travel. But it is not only Nigerians, also many other African countries' citizens need visas to go practically anywhere. Very unfortunate, but I think you may be right that it is past experiences that lead other countries to require visas. |

justwise:in your usual myopic self it will be difficult for you to understand. You are all complaining that nigerians at home are envying you and the guy says he has no reason to envy you cos he makes more money than most nigerians abroad and u quickly conclude that he is Bragging. You are already hating on him same way u accussed your poor friends in Nigeria of hating you cos you are in America. The bubble is burst . Many of us back home now make more money than most of our friends abroad and that trend will continue so more nigerians will stay at home and we don't care whether you are in America or not. That is what will boost our economy and our passport not guys like you that make visa look like ultimate thing when others just travel with the passport around the world without visa 10 Likes 2 Shares |

helpee: Obviously talking nonsense is in your DNA, even somebody with a single brain cell will know that some people in Nigeria are doing pretty well but that is below an average Nigerian. Any muppet can come online to brag about making 17-20M a week or a month but that is silly because we can not verify that. Only an individual with a brain of a jellyfish will pray for somebody who pays tax and have two jobs while living in a country where basic social infrastructure is lacking and govt sells job application forms even when applicants stand little or no chance of getting that job. Only a close minded Nigerian will think that not traveling will boost Nigerian economy forgetting how much Nigerians outside Nigeria remit yearly back to Nigeria. If other countries take such narrow minded view then there will be no foreign investments and that goes with the jobs that comes with it. 4 Likes |

helpee: You are definitely an embarrassment to yourself, so in your own little mind every Nigerian living abroad are doing slavery job? He claimed to have made 17m as a middle man and you believed him? You are such a joke. If you want to know how much Nigerians remitted yearly then google is your friend, it will be a complete waste of my time educating you on that. 2 Likes |

justwise: Speaking, respectfully, as a non-Nigerian, he does have a point, does he not? Remittances will never develop a country. It would indeed be better for more Nigerians to stay at home and develop their country. I would personally NEVER immigrate from my country to work abroad and it is good to see that there are Nigerians who share that mentality with me. 2 Likes |

momoyama: You from one of the wealthiest countries in Caribbean with a population of less than a 1M, so you can afford to stay back. Nigeria is a basket case of Africa so you can understand why many want to move to a conducive environment |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by momoyama: 5:26pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
justwise: But I still agree with the gentleman who says that it is best for most people to stay home and develop the country, although I am not at all criticizing those who choose to move abroad - that is your free choice, which I respect. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have to get a visa just to travel to the USA, Europe or anywhere. Yet that seems to be the result for many innocent Nigerians because of those who migrate illegally and overstay. Their misbehavior hurts the whole country. In that regard I agree with the commentator who says it is always better for most people to stay at home and work, to develop the country's economy. Where in the USA do you live? 3 Likes |

momoyama: Bros staying home to develop Nigeria is the less of our problems. Endemic corruption is, Nigeria is not a poor country. I'm in the UK not US |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by Nobody: 5:49pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
justwise:. ln addition, ethnicity, national wealth in the hands of few people, shared and distributed amongst friends,family members and political associates, people get away with anything illegal without been punished, lack of accountability & transparency etc just to mention but a few has made Nigeria a laughing stock in the comity of nations, until some of these issues are addressed in a holistic manner, Nigerians will continue to seek for greener pastures... 3 Likes |

justwise: Cool I studied in the UK (university of Hull and Kings College, London). I agree that Nigeria is FAR FROM a poor country. But how can you not agree with me that the country's chances of development suffer when its human resources migrate?? By the say, corruption is a RESULT of underdevelopment, not its cause. The less developed a country, the smaller the middle class and the less well it functions as a democracy. Development reduces corruption. |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by justwise(m): 6:24pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
momoyama: Nigeria does not lack human or financial resource, Nigeria lack honest leaders, so staying back will not solve the problem until the politicians stopped stealing. Nigeria is not a country that needs resource for development, Nigeria does have resource mismanaged by systematic corruption. Corruption in the case of Nigeria got little to do with underdevelopment because its from the top. Nigeria is 'poor' because she is rich. 6 Likes |

justwise: I met many Nigerian friends when I studied in the UK. I never had the impression that Nigerians needed visas to enter even the UK. Is it not a commonwealth country? How on earth can citizens of a commonwealth country need visas to enter the UK, the home of the head of the commonwealth? I think that the Nigerian government can do more to convince other countries not to place visa restrictions on Nigerian passport holders. 3 Likes |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by justwise(m): 7:36pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
momoyama: If you want the UK to include Nigeria in the list of visa-free countries then that goes against the stay-at-home argument. Visa restrictions are put in place to control immigration, so in that it should help Nigerians stay at home and develop Nigeria? Of course not, do you want Nigerians living abroad to return home when their chances of getting kidnapped is high? Infact the northern part of Nigeria is almost no-go-area for any Nigerian apart from the militants. How will you stay back and develop Nigeria when you will be lucky to get 7hrs of electricity a day? And this is not because Nigeria can not afford to have constant electricity...no, since 1980s billions or trillions has been 'spent' on the same project by different govt regimes but the same result...darkness. I don't know about your country's annual national budget but i'm tempted to boast that 4-5 Nigerian politicians are richer than your whole country, don't ask me what they do. 4 Likes |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by momoyama: 8:03pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
justwise: My statement that visa free travel should be allowed for Nigerians DOES NOT contradict my view that people should generally not migrate for work. Visa free travel would of course be granted only for those entering as tourists. I think it is ridiculous that a person in Nigeria cannot simply get on a plane with a passport and visit Britain, which was after all the colonising country and the 'mother' of the empire. Do British people need visas to visit Nigeria? There should be equal respect and reciprocity. 2 Likes |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by justwise(m): 8:22pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
momoyama: British people need a visa to visit Nigeria. There is absolutely nothing wrong with immigrating for work, there are many Americans and other EU citizens here in the UK working, has that stopped their individual countries from developing? Chinese with all their wealth are here in the UK starting businesses and settling down permanently, has that stopped China from developing? |

Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by momoyama: 9:12pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
justwise: I think you are getting me wrong. I do not criticize your decision to work in London. In fact it is a cool place to work and live. I support your doing so. I have a brother living in Spain, although he has never worked a day in his life. I am just stating that GENERALLY it is bad for so many people to be leaving or trying to leave that it, firstly, makes it hard for genuine tourists to travel visa free and, secondly, takes so much of the talent out of the country. |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by Nobody: 9:24pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
momoyama:Talents that are not recognized in Nigeria? Not enough jobs and government is not held accountable. Officials and politicians win and rewin on no records! So if you open your country visa-free, and you have a good economy, Nigerians will flood your country. |
Re: Why Do Nigerians Back Home Hate On Nigerians Living Abroad Especially In The US by justwise(m): 9:30pm On Jan 12, 2015 |
momoyama: ...and of what use is the talent when you live in a country where it's not recognised nor utilised? In a country like Nigeria you don't die of blind patriotism. |
