Don't RUN abroad, stay and eat what your fathers planted in the land
U guys should stop kidding me-ok, there is No place in the world that is 100% perfect from others. talking abt social amenities,Nigeria is growing up since 1960 not to compare her to other countries in abroad that gots their independence many years ago.
The birth of a country should be put into consideration, You can't just wakes up oneday and compare a new born baby to his father.
and remember, b4 a country worth living, their great grand father most have passed thru difficult time. . .
The people in abroad are enjoying the sacrifies made by their father, So stay in your country and plant a seed down for your younger generation/children and stop being selfish going to abroad to be a pertaker of what you know. . . , So your children generation wouldn't curse you in the nearest future.

Some people never stop to amaze me. They r always pointing their father's land with their left hand, whenever they found theirselves in abroad.
I'm so surprised when some talk trash about their country- Nigeria, as if their relatives. . .anyway.
I visited the forum, Travel with the Topic "Is Life Really Better Abroad?" while some talking as if NIGERIA is full of that much sh*t, So i posted my reply as below:



As the saying "No place like Home" so why then go abroad and never want to come back to develop your father land. Some are given the power to develop this country by some means but because of greed and selfishness they DON'T.

What I really know is that, even the unborn generation will request for our account/attribute to the Land before their birth.

Now the question is "Why go abroad and never come back". . .
Comment please.

Oshoooo:
They should come home and develop the barren land so the thieves politicians can loot it all for their unborn kids? If I step on a plane out of this country trust me I'm never coming back

As someone abroad..... returning is always on the table. Those who never travelled and really not in a position to compare living abroad and living at home will almost always say if they leave... they will never return. It's like many from the village seeing the bright lights of Lagos... the fancy cars.... tall buildings .... sooo many offices and places of employment.... sold everything they owned and head for the city... prepared to work hard and soon make a good living for themselves.... build the biggest house back in the village.... and return in their latter years with Range Rover to chill out the rest of their lives. They must find good jobs in the city.This is the same mindset of people wanting to leave for abroad.
What happens when the dream does not come true? Those are the people we see living under bridge.... roaming the streets.... just existing... suffering.... while their people in the village think they are doing well. Even if they have a job.... low paying job.... they are still suffering. This is the same position of many who have travelled abroad. The same reasons why the one suffering in Lagos will not return to his village is the same reason the one abroad will not return home. Pride.
Then there is the one that leaves for abroad/Lagos..... is sucessful... doing well... has a career..... can afford to support his relatives/projects/back home/in the village. After being away for so long.... his standard of living has changed..... what were earlier seen as luxuries have become bare necessities......as in those wanting to go abroad ever so often mentioning 24 hours electricity.... and pure water running out of the tap?...24/7?... abroad must be Heaven! The one abroad dosen't have to think of such.... the man in Lagis doesn't have to think of going to the river to fetch water..... levels have changed. To the one abroad..... his levels are sooo much higher. The conditions at home do not meet his basics for him to return to live. The main barriers being.... security.... law and order... and to get anythingbdone is a hassle. Electricity and water and good roads are not up there on the list. So it's not thise abroad who can come back and help in the development don't want to..... it's just the wahala is too much.

OP I have any assignment for you. Check and mention any country that is Nigeria's age mate and that has natural resources in abundance like we do that Nigeria is better than currently. Although I don't fancy the idea of living abroad all through my life neither do I have the intention of not returning when I travel;I was once asked by a friend of mine why I want to live abroad and I told him that I want to go over there and see for myself how the system is run and come back here and implement it here towards making a better nation.

Some of them are coconuts.

Some of them have had so many bad experiences that they just can't do it.

Some of them truly can't spare the time or money.

Some don't really understand the value of doing that and what they can achieve.

Some have been taken advantage of by family back home.

Some have heard horror stories, and think they can't.

It's not for everyone. And you have to remember that you can't expect the world from everyone. Every person isn't built for carrying a community on their back. You also have to remember that most, even people who have never set foot in Nigeria, give to family. That alone injects so much money and opportunity into the country. Let's not be greedy or put more pressure on people to do more than they feel they can. Let's just give love and support, and uplift our people.

Not a good a reason entirely though, shey since independence you think sai people never enter there see what's up come back 9ja? You can't implement NADA bro.
