Yeah but you can't even get the jobs to give kids a decent life if you wanted to. The average pay of most jobs in Nigeria is 30 to 50k. Only 8 percent of Nigerians earn above 100k which is basically transport and food money for one person in a city like Lagos.

tensazangetsu20:

Men bros i don't know how married people are doing it o. If a single person is struggling how about people with kids and a wife.

Klass99:


I have always wanted to live in Nigeria, while I continue to travel the world and visit other countries. But lately, I have been seriously contemplating relocating.

Gerrard59:


Yeah, like those who wanted to vote in Okota but were disrupted or people who participated in the #EndSARS protests so as to end police brutality. In both cases (out of gazillions of civil participation cases), the vast majority of Nigerians attacked and condemned those acts.

Let those who want to flee do so. Nothing stops brotha Etinosa1234 from doing bettering Nigeria. Godspeed!

Smile4mee01:
Hmnnn.

This a deep conversation.

Regardless of where you have your kids. I believe alot of work needs to be put into ensuring the kids turn out well and dont stray in life.

I agree and admit that kid of Nigerian decent abroad generally turn out well just because the society rewards hard work. So if a child puts in his shift, he almost certainly will be fine.

On the other hand, you and I know that not all nigerians youth who desire to travel end up travelling as travelling itself is expensive. Have a few kids, give them good education, ensourgae them in any sport or endeavor they love. Just do your best and leave the rest to God.

Me I don't even like western anglophone nations like that. I am absolutely fine with Mexico, South America, and all of Asia. South American nations exclusive of Venezuela and Ecuador get money die. Strong passports, amazing food, and beautiful women. Mexico is no brainer it's in the richest continent on earth. One can be in Mexico and build for the American consumer. It is literally just over the border.

Personally the state of the country is scary. Even those with good paying jobs are facing job insecurity cos of imminent layoffs. Inflation is another palaver. Imagine Gino tomato that goes for#50 now go for #100. Then another mentality of some people that God will take care of them is sickening. I'm not saying God won't take care of them but what plans do you have. I know of a private school teacher collecting #25000 salary and married with 3 kids before securing Npower job. After getting the job, he married another wife who now has two kids. All this because of #30000 Npower. Now, I don't have any pity to spare some people languishing in poverty cos of wrong decisions.

Heartlessbanker:
Bro, there's this stupid man in my compound; a disabled man o. A man with one of his legs paralaysed just gave birth to his third kid last week. A man with no legs, no job, no handwork, no skill. No, he has 6 mouths to feed including himself ooh. His wife has no job, and they just popped a kidinto this world last week. I refused congratulating them sha, because how can one be this stupid sef? even me that is still in my teens have vowed never to have kids, or get married unless i achieve a certain financial status. Na im person without legs dey carry six mouths to feed without job. He go suffer ehn

tensazangetsu20:

It's not easy madam. Huge respect to you. Please try teaching your children some ICT skills and deep mathematics. It will help them anywhere no matter how horrible the country gets.

Raalsalghul:


Even that 500k salary will become useless with time due to devaluation and inflation.

Honestly, we're bleeped from all angles.

Karleb:


With the way things are going in this country, in 10 years time 1 million naira will not be able to maintain a nuclear family.

It's better to just migrate to a country with stable economy.

A305:
No.

I already mapped out my plans for them.

They will be from 2 different babymama(s) so they can compete for supremacy between themselves to earn my admiration. However, I'm taking them through the digital world once they done with high school so, they can begin to earn like i currently earn online by themselves while in the university, And when they graduate -- they should be able to fend for themselves in the real world, still via the internet legitimately.

Where una wan leave this hell hole country run go........ When all of una were voting in buhari, and then mocking some of us who saw the future and opposed this disaster by trying to vote in Jonathan....... Na, you all are crying, trying to leave behind the mess you all created.......... We all die here for this country, whether good or bad..... Una never see something.


What are you saying for God's sake? Say something good do you want Nigeria to fall apart together with all your family members? What benefits will you get let's pray for Nigeria


Nigeria will continue to be degraded, blood will continue to be shade, the country will continue to lose all values both human an natural resources until nigeria finally die a natural death. Amen

Naughtysex:
That's why many of these married people (including myself) have indirectly giving up on our dreams just to being able to give the future of our kids a little shape
I cry everyday because my dream is slipping away from me due to financial insufficiency
the bad economy has forced me to either choose my dream over my innocent kids or the kids over my life
As a good father, i choose them over my life

My advice to every single person out there is to shut the door of having children for now if you are not "extra" financial buoyant

Although it was not as bad as it is now when i had them

Originalsly:


Frame the above! ... that's most important... if not... regardless of which country you migrate to... your kids will be a problem. Before this COVID-19 and ehmmm... New World Order... I would ve encouraged people to send their kids abroad mainly to gain the education that will be required in the future. But right now... things have been changing fast. Education is moving online... jobs are moving online... but more importantly the freedoms previously enjoyed in developed countries are being stripped away.... under the excuse of COVID-19 and saving lives. The most fundamental right... freedom of religion.. is being controlled. What will happen when movement is controlled?... in Nigeria... whatever the case... most can return to their respective villages...but abroad? Life is not easy anywhere in these times. What support can you get when your back is against the wall? Yes I live abroad.... for now.... in a job that does wayyy better because of the pandemic.....but the sufferings and desperation and hopelessness I see in so many of those that are affected by the crisis is saddening. Back home... people make out somehow on the very little they make and sooo many mouths to feed. The magic they perform back home cannot be performed here ... ingredients not available.

This is really deep.... stuck between a rock and a hard place. Magicians... over to you.

Hmmmm well I live in Qatar with good Job. Many Nigerian women in Qatar does nothing, they just stay at home. School fees in Qatar are very expensive from kindergarten to secondary school. They pay monthly, like kindergarten they pay 2500rial=312500naira monthly. Another one, Qatar does not give citizenship. My wife stayed for 1year without a job, she always stay indoors because there is no place to go. One can not visit someone without informing the person, because Qatar is a Muslim country. One day my wife told me she is not staying in Qatar again, if she stays she will get mad staying indoors, That she will go back to Nigeria with our son to start something doing. She will prefer visiting Qatar than living in Qatar. The reason why am saying this is that everyone abroad want to return to Nigeria because the suffering is everywhere, but Nigeria suffering is 200%.

As someone born abroad and whose formative years were in Nigeria, I would advice Nigerians to let their children grow up in Nigeria. Characters formed in Nigeria are unbeatable. Beyond the ages of 12 it is safe to send them abroad to school if you wish. If I could influence the black world, I would have them send their children to their nations of “genetic” origin during the formative years. I would have African Americans send their children to grow up in Nigeria or other African nations or the Caribbean, between the ages of I to 13 year old. After this, return them to America, Europe or wherever in the world you choose. It is absolutely vital that you let your black child form their character in Africa before moving them abroad if you wish. In Africa, Nigeria is the best place.

Uyi168:

Yeah.
Thanks man!

IamGreen1:


Be misleading people with your thinking o, since when have we been hoping that Nigeria is going to get better but instead it's getting worse everyday by everyday. Boss don't trust in Nigeria getting better anymore but individual improving themselves anyhow they can for the sake of our unborn kids but not necessarily wanting to leave the country at all cost, we can still be the best we've always inspire to be while in the country but with maximum hard-working, being focus that will lead us to our goals of being successful.

The country hard no be small, I can't stop thinking about everything happening in this country right now, it saddens my heart and weaken my soul.

Etinosa1234:

I sometimes wonder why those that condemn Nigeria haven't fled to Benin or Cameroon to start life all over since Nigeria is hell for them..

The funny thing is that those that condemn Nigeria either have political apathy or support bad leaders...

Like how do u intend to better this nation when u don't play ur part?

Its easier to complain and Nigerians do it best

tensazangetsu20:

You can be in your house and sars will still come and kill you. Imagine the horrors of the told stories. Now imagine the millions of stories untold. Many more brutal than what we have heard. What of even the army and it's excesses. I had a Sierra Leonean classmate and when he talked about the atrocities the Nigerian army committed in their country, fear gripped me.
