A man on twitter gave advice for those that want to travel abroad.

Brother Okwudili, why you never go back to Nigeria.

That says it all.

People abroad will be shouting, it's not easy but they are not making plans to come back to Nigeria.

Who is deceiving who?

Ain’t see lie in this word Nigga

Very true bruh

swears... it's not easy and yet no plans of coming back to Nigeria


Omo...me sef no like easy stuffs..so we gather dey

No mind them, like say Nigeria easy. Them plenty for Nairaland self.. Abroad hard, Nigeria hard - choose your Hard

Brother Okuwdili will never come back to Nigeria because it is better to come from a shithole country than to live in a shithole country.

I tell you

Issoright

A false baseless generalization.

Let me tell you the truth. Many Nigerians would have loved to come back home. There is a lot of racial hostility abroad and white people did not create their countries for Black people to come and enjoy. White people don't even like black people in their spaces to be honest. And yes, nowhere on earth is "easy." There is no country on earth that does not have it's own unique challenges. Not even the so-called almighty United States of America.

The reasons why many Nigerians don't return back to Nigeria are multifaceted and I am going to list some of those reasons:

1. Insecurity in Nigeria.
We all know that Nigeria has turned into the kidnapping capital of Africa. There is no day you don't hear of yet another person that was kidnapped. Then we have fulani herdsmen slaughtering men, women and children in several villages. We still have Boko Haram terrorists. Then let's not talk about all the cultism, armed robbery, religious violence and the many avoidable car accidents that have taken so many lives needlessly.

2. Abysmal power supply
This is self explanatory. As Nigerians, we all know that electricity supply is very poor in Nigeria. When I lived in Nigeria, sometimes I won't see a blink of light for 3 months straight. When transformer blows, it takes the electricity company several weeks if not months to get the transformer fixed and working again. Yet, the electricity company will keep bringing electricity bill for a service they never provided.

3. Cost of living and poor wages
The cost of living in Nigeria is terribly expensive yet the average pay in Nigeria is piss-poor to say the least. Foodstuffs is expensive in Nigeria. Foodstuffs will take up 60% of your salary each month. Most Nigerian employers don't even pay you up to 50,000 Naira in a month and that is the case both in the private and public sector.

4. The culture of rape
Unfortunately, raping women and children is a very common occurrence in Nigeria. If I had kids, I won't want them growing up in an environment where there is a 90% chance of my daughters getting raped. Unfortunately, the Nigerian culture promotes rape and the Nigerian judiciary is not keen on giving harsher prison sentences to adults who have raped children, teenagers and adults. Sexual harassment is equally a big problem in Nigeria and goes unabated because the perpetrators get away with it most times.

5. The culture of employers owing wages
In Nigeria, it has become a normal thing for employers in both the private and public sector to owe employees months and months of unpaid wages. In other countries of the world, that would be considered unacceptable. However in Nigeria, it's considered the norm. Why would I want to live in a country where regardless of whether I have a job or not, I will be dealing with avoidable poverty? And then when you are old and you retire, you will be owed pension as well. Imagine not having money to feed as an elderly person. Can't be me!

7. Lack of papers (Permanent residency or citizenship)
A lot of Nigerians living abroad don't have their papers for the country they are residing in. They overstayed their visas and they know that if they return back to Nigeria, they will be stuck in Nigeria and will not be able to return back to their overseas abode. So as a result, they remain put wherever they are.

8. No retirement home or investments
Some Nigerians refuse to come back home because they have nothing to come back to. They have no retirement savings, no house, no nothing. They are worried about what Nigerians back home with their nosey amebo selves will say when they return home after several years abroad with nothing to show for it. So to save themselves the embarrassment, these Nigerians choose to remain abroad instead.

9. Discouragement from family members and/or friends
Some Nigerians want to come back to Nigeria but their family members and friends strongly advise against it. As a result, many Nigerians stay put abroad even though they are tired of living abroad.

So the above points are some of the main reasons why Nigerians choose not to come back home even though many are not happy overseas due to hardship, the ever prevalent racism or other factors that is best known to them.

God bless you my brother, you said it all. Do you know that a bag of Nigerian rice in my area is now 20_23k, and minimum wage is 18k. It's well. I pray one day things will change for good.

100% true.
Avoid senseless Naija parties too.

Nobody really asked for a lecture but all the points you mentioned are almost nonexistent abroad, thus making it easier.

My point is that someone that is living where all these things are available will be telling new customers to the country that it's not easy. If having constant electricity, high wages, security and all you mentioned but you still try to tell people that's it's not easy, then what's easy.

Since it's not easy why don't you go back to Nigeria. You mentioned about discouragement from family. If you are suffering and you want to leave where you are suffering and go somewhere better and your family are discouraging you, will you still leave?

Discouragement lol

Xeeex:

That's black people for you o. I honestly prefer racism to tribalism. Honestly why do black people get worked up over racism. If a white man called me a monkey and gave me a banana I will eat the banana and dance like a fucking monkey.

Lol your own too much

The guy wanted to give reasons why people are not coming back to Nigeria but he mentioned why we are suffering in Nigeria and what they are enjoying in other countries

Then, I'm in abroad and someone will tell me that's it's not easy here, lol, why are you not going back to easy Nigeria with constant electricity, good transportation, security, jobs availability?

People like Cap28 and the clown called Phrakleen on YouTube. Anyone who advocates for people to return home (Nigeria or some other African countries) should be a resident in the said country. Anything less is a bloody hypocrite.

No race likes the other in the world. The belief that everyone will like the next person doesn't exist in real life. Caucasians detest blacks as they do to races in Asia. However, Caucasians respect those Asians because of the value they offer. Black people should aim to be respected not liked. You Dasparrow, do you like everyone you have seen/met in your life?

It's not a lie.
