There is also a saying that home is where the heart is.  Some people find their place in this world, it may be where they grew up, it may be somewhere they visited, or the place they settled.  

frankkky:

to add to what i said before,look the world is coming to an endamerican and europe have all abandoned GOD,do you know why america is so blessed,'because this is was a nation founded on GOD,but today what is happening?those nations that were formerly look down upon by the western world are now rising up and ruling the world market,check out china,today america is owing china money,today america is heavily in indebted,look at recent market crash that almost brought europe to its knees but look at india today they are growing rapidly

A place you visited = you are just a visitor.
A place you settled = you are a but a settler.
A place you grew up = you are a temporal resident.
Place of your ancestors = your home.

Semantics.
. . .where the 'heart' is. . .
Just like everything else, humans are ruled by what society dictates to them

REAL TRUTH:

And if your heart has left your real home, you obviously have a problem that has to do with your 'foundation'. This has nothing to do with what the society dictates, some things can never be thought to man, like a day old child learning to suck her mum's bre@ts milk.

If it pleases you to besmirch my 'foundation', please have some moet to go with it.
But then in your case it doesn't have anything to do with your 'foundation'. I thank the good jah for my 'foundation'. . .tufia for me to turn out so . Yes somethings can never be thought. . .like feeling at home in a place other than where you were born. It has nothing to do with the infrastructure or the people. . .it's a feeling of being home, a rightness. Unless you know someone who has that feeling, you will never understand what i mean. Which is a common thing anyway.

I do not wish to know someone personally, who has so lost her identity as to create another identity out of playing a second class citizen.

As an aside, there are millions of Nigerians treated as second class or even fourth class citizens within their own country. Being killed for bearing the wrong name or adhering to the wrong religion, being denied job opportunities because they don't speak the right Nigerian language or happen to be from the wrong side of the Niger.

debosky:

You are so full of your blinkered nonsense you don't realise it anymore. How can you with your limited experience possibly know what another person's mindset or view point is?

It is this kind of narrow minded nonsense that makes me realise that some problems are simply not meant to be solved.

AjanleKoko:

I think the issue is feelings. Nobody wants to feel bad about whatever decisions they took, so they go all out to defend their choices.
Were they really choices? Most people didn't go or stay because they felt like it, there are certain realities that every Nigerian has to face. Denying those realities is what i consider to be ridiculous. Why deny the truth?

As if you make money from clean American roads? All may not be well in naija but we are improving, making more money everyday and enjoying them too. Some people have never been on those roads you posted.
You make it sound like they want you to come back and hawk pure water on the broken down road. Fashola is trying.

OvieE:



My friend, since you didn't go to school, let me rephrase that word trying. Trying is another word for failure. Either he can do or not period.

As of 2010 people still living in hell. Good post REAL TRUTH .

PStylish:

Anybody living abroad is a slave to the white man. A glorified slave. Our forefathers were the first to travel out as slaves as early as the 14th century. So nothing new. The only thing is they went through unrefined hell while you guys are going through refined hell and are forced to enjoy it with the rider that where you are coming from isn't any better.
Continue to suffer sorry enjoy your abroad experience. One thing is certain you will either choose to return home yourself or you will be brought back in a coffin which is far more expensive.

Since you went to school, let me put it to you that Bush was a failure since he didnt catch Osama, and Obama is also a failure for not returning the US to economic prosperity.
You are also a failure for not making as much money as Bill Gates, despite all your 'trying'.

Did you just say that?

PStylish:

Don't take it that way. I mean't everybody is going to die someday no matter how long you live weather home or abroad. But I think its better to die at home. Unfortunately, our fellows abroad are not thinking like that.

What I dont like is when people go out and blow their short fuses just for comments made on free forums. Another persons viewpoint ceases to be just that immediately they voice it out, it becomes an opinion capable of misleading inexperienced ones out there to sell their fathers house and blow the cash on one lonely foreign country.
The Nigerians killed in Nigeria died at home, and its no crime dying to defend your fatherland, just like bible days. I never saw an Israelite who died fighting for Babylon.
I dont think up to a million Nigerians have been killed for the wrong reasons, even during the civil war.

Go easy on things so you dont burst an artery.

I know two elderly people like that. Five years ago when I wanted to move abroad, one had to travel back just to advice me, (an uncle) there were tears in his eyes when he told me that the worst thing that will happen to his life is to allow me go out there and repeat his mistakes he made when he was my age. The tears of that old man was part of the things that made me stay back here. Now when he calls, he says "you see, I think I told you to stay back"

cap28:

we are known the world over for pretending that we are in ecstacy when in actual fact we are in agony, the truth of the matter is that if our country were a good place to live none of us would have left to go and live in countries where we are treated shabbily. I dont care what sort of job you claim to be doing in the west as long as you are a black man you will not be treated in the same way that whites are treated. Many delusional nigerians keep blowing hot air about how they have fantastic jobs and lifestyles in america and europe, this simply does not add up as the majority of nigerians that i have come across in both continents are not living in this way.
But lets just say for the sake of argument that that is the case, what happens when they start laying off thousands of immigrants, what happens to our so called palatial (mortgaged) mansions and comfortable lifestyles? The reason i ask this is becasue western countries are now implementing some of the harshest austerity measures in 50 years - the first casualties of such measures will be immigrants, do you think that a white man will give you a job when thousands of his own people are on the dole?
Where do we run to when that happens- id appreciate a direct answer please.
