Well, what an embarrassment to their country, families and to themselves. I belong to the school of taught that says you can be successful in your fatherland and not necessary for you to travel abroad and embarrass the nation. Is it only our nation that is going through difficulties, that you will result to travelling abroad to engage in criminal activities, if you have enough finances to travel to spain, whether by land, desert, sea or by air, you could as well used that money to start a business venture for yourself.

In the 1970′s we used to travel abroad for shopping, our economy was at par with the European countries, we were not a source of nuisance to this countries, they encouraged us to come to their country, we never required visa’s to travel, now we agree that the country has seriously dropped inform, if i may use that word, but that does not mean we have to subject ourselves to Riddicle and spoil our father’s name, all in the name of getting rich quickly.

We are a proud nation with values, whatever problems we have, we should work together and solve it, and not wash our dirty linen in public, its okay to travel abroad, but make sure you add value to the country you come from, and give other people a chance to go over their, because of your good behavior, and not limit other people’s chances because you were a bad example of who we are.
