mediainc: Are you currently a ‘first class’ citizen in Nigeria?…This is a real question, I truly want a sincere answer. Can you kindly list some of the perks you enjoy today in Nigeria as a ‘first class’ citizen that a Nigerian legal immigrant abroad does not enjoy? or should we begin to list the perks & dignity of life their ‘second class’ status gives that you as a ‘first class’ citizen in Nigeria is been denied of or can only dream of? 20 Likes 2 Shares |

QuinModah:Hahahaha, they just come to milk their cash cow called Nigerians. They are always on the move abroad. If you see Dangote's travel plan eh, you go faint lol. The men making the money via milking Nigeria will always come to Nigeria to sustain their milk factory but what will tell you where they live is to ask where their children and loved ones live or spend most of their times. The children and wives of 90% of richest Nigerians live abroad, including your incumbent President's family, don't be deceived dear sis 13 Likes |

Help2020: You took the words right out of my mouth. If you're well to do in Nigeria, i see no reason relocating to the abroad except for vacation. Abroad is boring with their unstable and extreme weather conditions. If you wanna flex, naija is the best place to be in. May God bless my hustle real big so I'll only go abroad for vacation and relaxation. AMEN. 23 Likes 4 Shares |

I've been reading comments here and it proves how badly Nigeria had been hit. I'm a typical example. Studied in UK, voluntarily came home to practice and have been grateful that I'm a patriotic Nigerian. It's not just about money, but about patriotism. Unfortunately d society hasn't been rewarding enough. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Most Nigerians that left America and return back to Nigeria most likely can always travel back when they want to. Those who are back but cant go back were mostly deported. 19 Likes |

mediainc: I have lived in the West for over 15 years. I feel more at home here. I felt more like a second class citizen when I lived in Nigeria. I feel safer, much more prosperous with my own specialist company. These countries are value based- you will reap if you can add value. So let’s drop this second class story. Nigeria had to be one of the most socially oppressive countries on earth 20 Likes 1 Share |

Help2020: So you actually believe that the richest Nigerians are living in Nigeria? Private jets are creating this illusion. Within two hours, your jet can be airborne to your other countries. "Hey pilot, I need to be on my way to Nigeria in the next 2 hours". Otedola in his UK residence speaking with his pilot who is also in UK. Two hours later, the jet is taxying on a UK airport runway heading for the Nigerian airspace. No, they don't live in Nigeria. They have houses in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. They have residency in multiple countries. They only visit Nigeria when they have business in Nigeria. Nigeria is not where people with unlimited resources live. 14 Likes |

TheABOMINATION: I nearly ran mad when I came back for reasons I don't care to mention here now. It took me two years before I got a job and started getting back on my feet. Now, I am happier here than there. Now lemme tell you about America. America is good, depending on your level and state before you got there. If you were jobless, doing POS or selling rat poison in traffic, getting to America will seem like heaven for you and you cant stop thanking God you got there. If you were doing good, living the good life in Nigeria, and then relocated to America, America is only a slight upgrade. There is nothing an American can enjoy there, you wont enjoy here (with your money ofcourse). If you were using iphone11 and you got bumped to iphone13, will you go thanking God and be freaked that you are now using iphone13? No. But if you were using techno or itel and then got gifted 1phone 13, its a whole new game altogether. That's how it is-so it depends on your status on Nigeria really and then how you got there- your path to citizenship. If you go as a student on full tuition, you are good. If a spouse or parent won a green card and you go and you don't even have an idea how rent is paid, you are good too. You don't worry about insurance, taxes, etc etc. Someone has already made the sacrifice for you. But if you go on a visa, overstay and hope to make good? You are on a long thing, and your experience will be one of stress and near bitterness. Your path to citizenship determines everything. In America, someone must have made the sacrifice for you, for you to come and start enjoying the good life. If you are the one to make the sacrifice? Only your children will enjoy o, not you- you are the pathfinder, the sacrificial lamb- you won't enjoy your life- others would. Las las..if you are earning good in Nigeria, you have a better life balance- money, family, social network, sense of community etc. There, its a lonely society out there, so cold it can make you miserable in old age due to loneliness.
