Most foreigners in Nigeria come here as expatriates in oil companies as well as other companies. Once their contracts are over, they run to wherever they came from.

But on the flip side white people in Ghana mostly go there for tourism because the country understands what it means to tap the tourism potential. Infact a lot of things in Ghana nowadays are built for these tourists to come and enjoy.

Not all foreigners in Nigeria dont wanna come back
My aunts husband preferred Nigeria to london
Because he liked the fact, he had his own gateman, driver, cook
Ps: he was an expatriate

He was praying to come back because he does not get that kind of luxury in the uk

Some of those foreigners I saw looked like business men who live in accra not tourists

You see white men chilling in nando's so comfortably in Accra

You only see white men in shell club and ra in Nigeria

Some few posh supermarkets like park n shop in portharcourt

This is a different case because he's married to a Nigerian. I'm not saying there are no white people that stay. What i'm saying is that most white people in Nigeria are here for the monetary gain. If they ever desire to live in Africa, they go to countries such as Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.

Structural problems that directly affect the economy.
Poor power supply, No water supply,bad road and poor transport infrastructure, poor health care, insecurity. To mention a few.

He likes Nigeria to London because he enjoys the cheap labor and he has slaves that call him Master (Oga).
And he willingly admitted to that?
That isn't luxury, that is just cheap labor
Naija is doomed.. smh.

What you said is very correct. You see whites everywhere in the streets like in Gambia,Ghana, Ivory coast,Rwanda etc. It was very strange to me that its only in Nigeria you see mostly Black people.
Re: Why Does Accra almost Look Like South Africa by Ilamina(f): 6:00pm On Jul 01, 2020
Maybe because Nigeria is bigger

And just a different structure

But we do have white people

It's mostly insecurity and lack of basic amenities. Most of these cities you find Whites have atleast 24hours power supply, and security is guaranteed. Travel to most francophone countries and see whites everywhere. Like it's a normal sight. But Nigeria is messed. Kidnapping, bokoharam etc..

Even though the Chinese, Lebanese and Indians are known for moving to different countries. They're simply here for the economic benefits just like the whites.

Is he really? He is paying them what their labor is worth?

Is he treating them with dignity? The basis of him chosing Nigeria over UK is just wrong

Which white man go wan settle in an environment that is not guaranteed maximum security, no basic amenities like 24/7 electricity, water, poor medical facility.
To even waka for street, you go see beggers hustling them for money, even to the extent of buy things in the open market, suddenly the prize of goods is inflated becox it's a white skin man.
We are only doing ourselves,we make our environment not comfortable/ conductive for the white man to stay , yet we are running to their country to take solace. When they now tell you to leave their country,we will start crying foul that they are wicked.
If the whole of African is has developed( technology, science & medicine) like the American,Europe or Asia, we will never accommodate the white man in our continent because of our greed & self centeredness.
My own take.
