Joe Abah: "If You Have Opportunity To Leave Nigeria In Your Youth, Do So" by benjackugo: 11:27am On Jan 04, 2021
Former Director-General of Bureau of Public Sector Reform, Dr Joe Abah has advised young Nigerans to leave the country if they have an opportunity to do so, IgbereTV reports.

In tweets he shared, Abah recounted seeing a clear path on how he could own a car, buy a house and build a career when he arrived the UK but couldn't see such in Nigeria. He also advised those who want to return to Nigeria, to do so by choice.

He tweeted;

"Moving abroad the 1st time, I didn’t watch any in-flight movie. My eyes were firmly on the flight display. As soon as we left Nigeria, I made the sign of the Cross. When we left Africa, I whispered “Alleluia! If this plane does emergency landing now, it won’t be in Africa sha!"

It’s true that when I got to the UK for the first time, I thought “Is this all?” However, I could see a clear path to how I could own a car, buy a house and build a career. I couldn’t see that path as a young man in Nigeria. I still don’t see it for many young Nigerians now.

In your youth, you should japa if you want to and have an opportunity to do so. Get the basics, like a car, a house, a 90-inch TV and a bad bad sound system. Build your CV there & show them you are a determined Naija person. If, later, you want to come back, it’ll be by choice."

Mtcheew!
And to think that this man was a former Government employee,
These are the kind of people still getting employment opportunities in government,
No wonder they loot all monies and invest abroad since they never get to see hope in their fatherland.

If Rwandans and Ghanaians had this same mentality would they be as developed as they currently are?

Not Everyone has a Destiny outside the Countey.
Not Everyone outside the country is doing great.
Many there are Living on the people home.

Seek the Face of GOD to know where your Package is. Else you travel out and the Hawker at Home is better than you are..

I would rather live as a first class citizen in Nigeria than to go and live as a second class citizen in another country.

Is what I would love to say but, the bitter truth is that here in Nigeria, only Fulani terrorist, Fulani herdsmen and their cows are first class citizens, the rest of Nigerians are second class citizens.

Whoever tells a tortoise to go wash his hand at the stream before eating isn't ready to give tortoise food.

Whoever criticizes this man isn't ready for self development. Nigeria has NO hope...it is that simple. Jaapa when you can
