I would exclude greed from your list because most people migrating are aware they would or might never make the kind of money they made in Nigeria, but they are more concerned about moving for things money can't buy in naija like peace of mind and better security.
Some can't stand the corruption and excessive cost of running governments in Nigeria while the masses are wretched and suffering. Just look at the Nigerian senate, house of reps, house of assembly etc...pls take a look at the caliber of people that have hijacked the government. Despite the excessive salary and benefits they give themselves, they still use their constituency allowance to buy cars and other luxury items for themselves. Religious houses are a major part of Nigeria's problems too. Remembering dino and all his stupidity and the oppressed youths hailing him on. I am angry at typing this alone sef.

As of now, fresh loaf of bread is N250, go figure how many can be bought with N30k a month grin







Are you serious?
When i left Nigeria some years ago. Fresh loaf of agege bread was only 15 to 20 Naira. You can buy sliced bread for around 60 to 80 Naira.
There is inflation abroad too, but it is not as crazy as it is in Nigeria.

Our case is always more severe due to leadership problems and policies. I guess the inflation is a result of increases in minimum wage. I was referring to sliced bread though, it would be very good if we can get it for N80 as it used to be.
