sowilli:
you are on the “ I need better life” level then. There is no failure for those who I expect to come positive about Nigeria. Even if you get denied, you should see it as loss to the countries. If you are asked your views about Nigeria at the embassy, will you call it shit hole? Many of you are hypocrites simple. I tell you this. as an experienced traveler myself, I know Nigeria isn’t working as one would wish but I have no regrets staying back or leaving Nigeria. It’s about knowing one’s self. I have in my network individuals who are doing well abroad with many looking to invest in Nigeria. Some have invested and the business failed and are re- investing. They have complained one or two times but I don’t hear the words I hear on NL from their mouth. Unfortunately, you are regarded as poor by the country you mentioned. It’s about how you see life!

sowilli:
it’s not about me and how much I make. It’s about how much you have to make to see things differently. There are millions of people making over 1 million dollars annually. Have you left Nigeria before? You will see that those things you mentioned are taken from your pay through tax. Many things we don’t pay for here are paid for over there. You see why economies differ. If you can’t make that money, don’t complain. Who says it’s all about being rich. The point is you don’t have to have any regrets about your decisions. People who wallow in regrets don’t make anything out of life. That’s the point. Tell me about dreams? What makes one dream’s come through other than wisdom and passion. The ones who made it in Nigeria and the ones making it abroad will tell you same and one thing. Focus anywhere you are. The people complaining about naija or saying they have regrets staying or leaving can’t really make anything out of life. Take this anywhere. How many of your corrupt politicians would come online to read this thread? The point is thread as this don’t do any good!

ENG0701:


Same here. I'm going for my driving test soon and the whole thing makes me miss Naija's lawlessness. In Nigeria we get used to getting around things by paying for it.

sirhamilton:


The question is "have you left Nigeria before?" You say USD1M because it probably rings like N1M to your ears.
Utility bills and taxes paid ensure amenities are maintained and available in western countries so yes, I'm fully aware of what I was talking about when I drew a correlation between been wealthy and quality of life.

Talking about things been free in Nigeria, whatever happened to the things not free? Some neighborhoods Still get light bills despite the the poor power supply, you hear stories of loots by ex government officials been recovered but these disappear unaccounted for.

At least we both agree on one thing, threads like this achieve nothing.

J111333:
Regret 1: Not taking my main chic pocohantas with me to Cameroon.

Regret 3: I miss foo foo and oha soup (I dey chop am for dream sometimes though so no much worries), yam porridge, Portharcourt bole (I dey chop am for dream too so I'm okay somehow)

Regret 4: I miss urinating outside and the breeze that cool my power house as I do, chai e don tey.

Finally, I miss the lawlessness in naija.

Dpundict:
Dear Lord! Na IELTS AND ASSESSMENT I dey prepare for so. Shine your light so I can renounce my Nigerian citizenship once and for all. Amen

Oloki:
my only regret is still been in Nigeria


no money......no helper.......no outside connection to move

praiseneo:
they changed their boss bla bla bla and that one came to change the whole system and no booklets

puregrace:
Anytime you wake up in the morning,pray for your parents for giving birth to you outside Nigeria,if not for anything. Pray for them before yourself.... They did you a BIGGGGG favour.... You can not understand

bamdexfarms:


Well, can you guaranty the security of your life and that of your family in Nigeria? Can you guaranty quick response of the fire service in case of fire in your home? Can you guaranty a quick and fast ambulance in case of health emergency for you or your kids? Or even if you make it to the hospital can you guaranty adequate healthcare?

shogsman:
The best decision I made was coming back to Nigeria, no place like home I love it here more than anywhere else in the world,the US was cool but not as cool as here,too many people, they do things the same way,too much cold...
Naija is just perfect.the only thing I miss there is the little gum in ardith I used to run.

ogongogames:


I served in Nigeria about 6 years ago. So I got a glimpse of the situation. I'm grateful however more so regarding the society I've grown up in. My biggest gripe with Nigeria is necessarily the deficiencies in infrastructure but the "dog eats dog" mentality that so many people have.

8stargeneral:
Hmm... alright, that's Nigerian system, incompetent in everything .

Asadujames202:
Op give me connection make I migrate to Spain.


Even if na to wash dead body I go do am

Skyfornia:
Mine was out of frustration. I was working back then in a private company owned by one man, I worked diligently and contributed to the progress of the company, but when some money under my custody was stolen, the company mandated me to pay it back, it wasn't easy cause they were deducting 80% of my salary as a means to recover back the money, so I gathered money and paid the rest, resigned from the company and out of annoyance, I decided to travel to Sweden....but I still come back to this shithole after one year. The worst decision ever!

sowilli:
don’t be an Internet ediot by jumping into conclusion who you are replying to. Do you want me to snap my passport pages for you to see. I want to remain anonymous, would have uploaded pictures. The fact remains if you are doing 1 million in revenues, you don’t have a problem. For instance the minimum wage in South Africa is about 135k when converted to Naira but many of those guys earning minimum wage still live in slum. If you earn 135k in a state like ondo in Nigeria, you can live a decent life based on the Nigeria standards. Quality of life is relative and you need understand this that the fact that one decides to stay in Nigeria or leave Nigeria does not make one a fool. Nigeria is a people. Why have regrets about people you didn’t create? It’s about how you see life bro. Stop jumping into conclusions of who you are replying to, it tells you don’t have a good judgement skills. If you are doing 1 million in revenue, you can’t complain.... fact. I may not be doing 1 million but I believe I can

WeRblessed:
Have visited Nigeria four times. Mom is Nigerian from Imo State, and she thought me Igbo language and culture. I love the culture. I can write and speak Igbo fluently. I love the village so much. There you can actually eat fruits from the organic trees. My grand mother doesn't buy vegetables from the grocery store. She gets them from the backyard garden. I also love the bushes and the local streams. I love Igbo language. My mom always made sure I learn it, and I have been so grateful that I can speak and write it. I speak Spanish and little German. My college friend Bolla thought me some Yooruba language as well. I regret leaving my cousins and the village. I dont like Nigerian cities, always reminds me of India when I visited. Too crowdy, noisy, dirty, and dangerous drivers.

praiseneo:
