Naturally the black man prefers ready made solutions so they will always opt for it ...they would rather work for an established company than help a start up grow , they will rather marry a well to do person instead of growing with a person with potential....it's a black man thing,, he never fixes anything he would rather destroy and move to next green place

God1000:
but what do you think?

prevail23:
That "Sweeping" dat you said Nigerians do there to make ends meet, if sweeping streets and menial jobs here in Nigeria pay as much as it does in European countries, u think say boys no go throway "pride" do am?
Some security men for Naija dey hardly see 3 square meal chop, but some security men abroad even have cool investments here in Nigeria.

£9 per hour is minimum amount you collect as a cleaner.

If you clock in normal 9 - 0

Thats £9 * 8hrs

£72 per day...

Nonexisting:
I used to be but I'm not now. In fact, my guys and I currently have valid visas which are fast expiring but we are seriously considering dumping them because things are working well for us here now. We can't abandon everything and go over there to start life all over again.

God1000:
I fully understand the despair and all the challenges at home which is largely responsible for this ugly situation.

But why going through so much just to cross to another country, they will gather a lot of money, movement from one African country to another before embarking on the dangerous journey of uncertainty.

They will finally end up sleeping on the streets of European countries after getting there, some of them hawk and sweep to make ends meet, but back at home they won't do those things because of pride.

Why going to another country to become a third class citizen?

There's this wrong notion that as a graduate you must work inside one fine office with suit and tie, live a lavish lifestyle and try to impress men and women.
Nollywood movies and Nigerian politicians encourage this a lot.

We worship people that return from abroad, even if they do dirty jobs like drugs, all our people want to see when you return is beautiful car and house and they will worship you automatically.

Are Nigerians outside even enjoying? Because some bad ones have soiled our reputation badly, we don't have good image anywhere in the world, even within Africa, nobody trusts a Nigerian anymore, so why going through so much just to become an object of ridicule out there? They end up doing those menial jobs they won't do at home.

We look down on people that make legitimate ends meet in Nigeria through menial jobs but worship and glorify Yahoo boys and corrupt politicians! Something is indeed wrong with us.

No society can make headways with this kind of mindset and mentality our people have.

Sadly a lizard in Nigeria will not get to America and turn into a crocodile.�

You are looking at this from a very narrow end of it..
A medical doctor in Nigeria will earn way more in the west.

Even the so called menial jobs like a garbage man or mail man or a waiter that pay less than $ 50 here pay you much more than that , plus your quality of life will definitely improve.
Just make sure you follow a legal means. Don't go through Libya , risking your life only to end up on the street of Europe or even worse , a detention center.

u see that story all Nigerian parents from 60 years above tells their kids / grandkids --- in the 70s, the Naira was more than the dollar, there was no need to travel out, a carton of gulder was 1 naira 80 kobo, i bought my 1st Beetle car from Volkswagen it came nylon wrapped encased in a wooden box, we were sending money to our friends in England,etc etc if i had known that the military and bad politicians would ruin this country i would have not stayed back....

and you as the child go come they imagine say ur life for better like say you papa been travel that year o!


young adults of today dont want to tell that story in the next 30 years !

gaskiyamagana:

So, those who are desperate to leave destroy Nigeria ?

chigoziri2403:
Insecurity
The human live is not valued here,
Lack of social amenities
Institutional corruption


Even our leaders don't take Nigeria seriously
That's why their doctors are foreigners

Nigerians travel to witness a system that works
I implore every Nigerian that can afford to travel, to see how organised other climes are
Even neighbouring Cotonou here is far more organized than Nigeria

Below is a picture of the abia state governor in China, without the razzmatazz and fanfare he goes around with in Nigeria
That's the difference between the two countries

jimcaddy:
Exactly my point. We have such a poor mindset and this mindset has become poisonous and stereotypical. We believe that once we can travel outside of Nigeria either on schooling, our lives have automatically become better. That's a fallacy. Unless you migrate as a skilled migrant and get yourself a white collar job. Meaning you must have been academically sound in your home country before travelling. Many Nigerians will just look for money, and travel in the hope that they will do "German German" and Sha make it one way or the other. Firstly you are already disadvantaged being a Nigerian because they don't respect Nigerians anywhere. Secondly you're black. Racism will kick in. Thirdly, you no get the right papers, no PR. You just dey loaf up and down. One day something will happen, where you are and police will come and raid there and it's the immigrants they will arrest and deport first. We dey shout say Naija no good, Naija no good, yet we have so many Indians and Lebanese here with business ventures and are making so much money here. They only go to their home countries for holidays. They love Naija. So it's whatever and wherever works for you. Success is not usually a function of location. it's about what you want for yourself and how you plan it
