A summary of the post up there is that those who left did so due to the reasons listed below
1. Family sake
2. Fear of explosion of the virus here in Nigeria
3. Enjoyment of social amenities
4. The responsibilies of civilian adherence to Government directives.

I almost break down in tears when I saw this My refrigerator is full. My light won’t go off and I am not worried about food for weeks ahead

Nigeria my country
Is the same country where Nepa will off light in the rain
This is the same country where People will task theirselves to buy transformer, cables, fuse box in new sites area only for nepa to come and claim its there property afterwards
This is the same country where The president will be addressing the nation and the nation will be in darkness
This is the same country that industries are pulling out for because of this same Power



Did you think if there's is light
People will wanna come out.



Why is it that we can't get power out from federal government hands?
Why National Grid?

Why is it that Visionary states like Lagos state can't kick start this process to remove the move Power from Exclusive List to Concurrent List USING THEIR 3 SENATORS?

What's stopping other state from using their senators?

Must this states keep on building IPP for FG?

Yar adua of late memories come with 7 Point Agenda
Jonathan come with Transformation Agenda
The incumbent is fighting corruption

Can we just have one president that will focus on one

Either
Power, Education Security, Constitution, Health instead of packing everything together and end up doing nothing


Its so sad
We were shouting vision 2020
Now it's here we are running helter sklelter

My great grand father was forming bravery. Then he was applauded because he fought his way out of captivity. He was about being transported across the seas into slavery. By providence or sheer luck he cut his restraining chain and escaped.
He was hailed all round the neighborhood.
Today I realized that it was a big mistake. I would have been an American citizen if not for his actions.

My own father dated an australian woman in his youth.

He missed travelling to Australia because the letter the lady sent got lost in transit.

They met each other decades later.

The Nation newspaper trying to change the narrative but we all know that most of them left because they believe in the Healthcare system of Canada and USA.

Even the Nation newspaper staffs will join the next available train to move out



Let's give your apartment, bar, club event center an exotic design with our vehicle tyres furniture.

Check this thread https://www.nairaland.com/5826555/vehicle-tyre-designz

The narrative given by this interview is very correct.

First, you don't need to go back to collect any money given by the govt, I'm here in Nigeria and my money was paid into my account because I had filed my taxes and the govt simply used my last direct deposit account to deposit my money. How many people even pay taxes in Nigeria.
Secondly, my friend went back simply because of the same reason given by this guy. He wanted to stay in Nigeria, he knew Nigeria is safer in regards to the Covid 19 situation but his kids and wife are there all alone. In situations like this, the head of the family, usually thr man is expected to be around for guidance and assurance.
My family lives here so I'm here.

As a multi-citizen currently stuck in 9ja cuz of this pandemic. My stimulus went straight to my account (even though mine is very small as I fall on high income earner category). I just transferred straight to my domiciliary here for 9ja. grin

But if the current situation goes south here in Nigeria, you won't think twice before you write the embassy that you're trapped in Nigeria. As if Nigeria is an entrapment sort of, I envy people with dual citizenship sha... COVID-19 is a typical scenario that makes being a dual citizenship a big accomplishment.

The next few weeks may be disastrous for Nigeria. I foresee overwhelmed isolation centres and hospitals and cemeteries. I also forsee medics absconding.

The first 2 weeks of the Lockdown was our golden chance, but we blew it.

The only way out of this is a total lockdown for a month WITH GOVT PROVIDING PALLIATIVES TO EVERY HOME. All the billions I'm hearing in the news can do it. Even if it is just Lagos. Feed them for a whole month and give them electricity, they will stay at home.

I agree with him except mentioning palliative. There's no palliative or will I say it was highly biased and selective in Nigeria.

I didn't receive a dime!

As for the issue of people losing their jobs and others being forced to work to receive salary.

Should I talk about electricity? The major thing that takes me out is charging. If there's electricity I can stay at home for 2 weeks besides coming out once in 2 weeks to restock.

Did I mention that PHCN cut our line despite the 2 months free light which government later denied.

Naija can play ping pong with your destiny fah.

Don't be too sure, your great grand father might be among the slaves that lost their life in the sea.
