I do understand where the poster is coming from in regards to people selling up and flying to the UK
I know a man who sold his 4X4 bedroom home and flew to the UK. What does he do in the UK - Cleaning.
The man is dey suffer no be small. He even brought in his family. Suffer Suffer come escalate.

I don mind people coming with a reasonable objective maybe to study, get a proffessional job to gain experience or maybe establish some business. Fairplay. but to sell up to come and do jack shit. Total nonsense

Secondly, In the long term, People should plan to go back home and contribute. Empower our/your people back home. A business of £20k in 9ija is enough to yield a good return capable of employing 10 people. Let me do the maths for u

(£20,000 x 1,000,000 uk residents x 250 naira exchg rate) = N5 Trillon Naira - enough to employ 100,000 unemployed nigerians.
I am contributing my own quota to my motherland. What r u doing?
eating ground rice and chicken at mama calabar, paying thru your nose to London electric, paying tax to keep roofs over lazy yobs who don't give a shit about you.

MAKE UNA DEY SIT DON THERE DEY ENJOY WINTER 
Na colonial mentality dey worry una. wake up

Leave them make dem die there

@redsky1
I noticed you are just trying to make a point for yourself and that's not a bad idea but if its because of free NHS services that you are enjoying there that makes you think that average Nigerian can`t afford a jeep, fuel their gen and live a normal life then i suggest you find your way home and get the fact right

Babs T:

thts tru ma guy then i suggest u also come back home people in glass house dont trow stones

UP NEPAAAAAAAAA welcome bck

IgboGirl:

same reason Nigerians live in Iceland, Iraq, Parkistan, Germany, India, Ghana (sad but true) etc

canuck:

@ Poster, obviously you did not experience any of the following issues:

1) Gunshot wounds from trigger happy Olopa
2) If you survive that one - Gunshot/machete wound from dare-devil robbers (Call 911? See #1 above)
3) Serious beating from Navy Ratings or Army 'korofo' for obstructing their oga's way
4) Seven or more days of hanging out with hardened kidnappers
5) If na ritual kidnapping; na bye-bye be dat
6) Watching helplessly as your nation's resources are pilfered, wasted and mismanaged at the same time
7) PHCN decimates your livelihood and leisure

O'lboy, the list goes on. Breezing through for 90 days and spending unending days in Naija are night and day.

Step 1 - Lift up hand. Step 2 - With all the strength you can muster, slap yourself. Step 3 - Now, you've woken up    Despite the struggles, Up Nigeria!!!

diasporian:

This is shocking- i mean the responses - this is why Nigeria will not progress, it is not a matter of curse.

A medical doctor who has a job, a banker who has a job, an engineer who hase a job and making a living, sudddenly wakes up one morning and says he wants to go and live abroad, he quits hi job, gets a VISITOR visa of 6 months to go abroad, and sells all he has, saying that he will go and make it abroad, he beleives with his 6 months visa, he can work and make it in UK, with a visitor visa, you are not even allowed to work.

This is what the poster is talking about, and someone says there is nothing wrong in that? He should sell all he has to go live abroad because:

NEPA IS BAD

THE ROAD TO HIS HOUSE IS BAD

THERE IS NO WATER

Some even say because they eat chicken and chips abroad, then it is ok for this man who had a professional job to leave and sell off all he has just because he wants to be able to eat chicken and chips?

If these generation were our forefathers, nothing and noone will be left in Nigeria, they would have revisited slave trade all over again for an opportunity of eating burger and stuff over in the white man's country.

2Legit2Qui:

The last time I checked, worse things like the ones you have quoted happens in the UK.

cudos:

time will tell, if u like live in Brown house make use of your time,bcourse, in your old age, we will know where is better.

cos at the end of the day you're STILL Nigerian, like it or not!

Beetle:

Pple never seem to amaze, I've lived in UK for 13 years and if the opportunity arises, i'll take my bag and go to naija forever. NHS and education is not free like some of you think, it's our taxes and to the fellow who said you live your car unlocked. Good luck to you, i lived in London for a very long time and was never robbed, moved out and guess what we were robbed. It doesn't matter where you live, if it's going to happen it will.

I didn't know pple were moving over here because of chicken and chips, bad roads and NEPA. Fair enough NEPA but none of the other reasons make any sense. I'm out and I agree with the poster. A lot of pple think living in Uk is the be all and end all.  I'm sorry it isn't. pls don't let's fool ourselves it isn't. A black PM? Never maybe in the next generation and most blacks are rated as second class citizens anyway. If you feel different, speak out but only want opinions from anyone working pls.

If Nigeria had good leaders maybe we wouldn't all need to come over her. My two pence.
