All I know is Naija sweet wen u have money dat is not too lousy but I can't imagine relocating after being outside o...

Relocating to Nigeria may be a sin to God o

Never. I am no longer coming. I will stop in. Lagos and go back.. The place is a killing field.. I was planning July but men.. Till infinity and beyond

EerinLakatabu:
While I agree with you about the over-sensationalism of 9ja’s problem, you can’t argue the country has been a failure.

We genuinely can’t keep going like this.

What failure? Abeg shut up make we hear something.

YOU DO YOUR OWN PART.

Leave ''Nigeria'' out of your head.

Rubbish.

Every day 'Nigeria' this 'Nigeria' that.

Look, in America you have millions of people who are homeless and sleep rough on the streets every night. This is a country with a 10 trillion dollar annual budget compared to Nigeria's 30 billion. The whole world has issues. This demonisation of 'Nigeria' - a developing country just like 80% of countries on Earth, must stop.

CONTRIBUTE YOUR OWN PART TO IMPROVING THE COUNTRY and leave others alone, Mr PERFECT!

I personally still DAILY nurse the ambition of returning PERMANENTLY to Nigeria after Decades abroad and my last relocation stint in 2006 lasted for 2 years as I only made 60 Naira profit from the restaurant I came to set up and run in Naija due to my 9 staff all being thieves (including my brothers fiancee - now Ex wife who was the manager). And this stealing happened right under my nose and the most hardworking staff was the biggest thief helping himself daily to 7,000 from the daily takings.

But IN spite of this I still feel homesick REGULARLY and I hope to return home to Nigeria one day SOON but is this hunger and longing to relocate to Nigeria safe and wise or is it a DANGEROUS PIPE DREAM

Restaurant, 60 Naira ke . Dammm,Businesses in naija need serious monitoring from opening time to market shopping, store inventory, spices stock , per serving,left over etc. That's the only way to make profit. Employees steal at any given opportunity.
I know a man who owns a warehouse, it was closed when he went to the village for burial for a month . All distribution Van's parked, compulsory leave for staffs, losing customers that period.
BETTER FOR HIM

Go and tell the elders in your house to shut up. T’an ba ko e nile, ama ko e nita.
Why can’t you have a reasonable discourse without throwing insults ? Listen, Nigerians are the country’s problem.. not just the politicians most love to blame.

The good part is their sponsor can't come home too. The idiots sponsoring and contributing funds can't come home..

All that I know that moved back to Nigeria have returned to start all over again.
Nigeria frustrated them gaaaaaaaaaaaaan!
Just an illusion.
Going from a system that works, to battle evil forces in a country WITHOUT any system.

To visit Nigeria is a supernatural task, not to talk of re-settling there.
Impossible!
EVERYONE I KNOW has since left Nigeria YET AGAIN, because NIGERIA IS A SYSTEMLESS FAILURE of an environment.
You have to be psychologically-challenged to live in a place like Nigeria-A PURE ZOO full of the most WICKED human beings ever walked the planet Earth.

Living in Nigeria reminds me of CRABS IN A BUCKET. No success for anyone. You will be pulled down by the most miserable beings around you.

Bruh.. I felt every single word.

Geez, what are we going to do about this mess? Secession I say! Brand new start!

The mess is real o.
Unfortunately, no solution in sight.
The future remains bleak.
It can only get from worse to worst.
It is really a tragedy.

Thanks to Nollywood and the Nigerian music industry for putting a smile on our faces.
You cannot be a Nigerian IN NIGERIA and make Nigeria proud.
The only Nigerians that put Nigeria in a positive light are the Nigerians that are out of Nigeria.
Even Dangote is tainted because he is covered by the blood of the North.

Please tell me in simple words.
Is the grass greener abroad or in Nigeria

Ilekokonit:


Very Good observation.

The grass always looks greener of the other side.

What tempted me to relocate to Nigeria in 2006 was the fact that between 2003 and 2004 I visited Naija quite a few times and with the advent of democracy in Naija + mobile phones every where in Naija plus the general feel good factor reported by every news media both home and abroad about Naija (especially Nigerian owned TV stations in the UK - e.g Ben TV UK) , it always seemed that Nigeria was on the mend and a place to be and i even contemplated bringing my kids to school in Naija but the £10,000 cost per year of Lekki British International School at the time brought me back down to earth and although I tried living in Nigeria for 2 years - 2006 - 2008 and it did not work out, I still can not rule out doing the same soon - maybe I am just an eternal optimist about Nigeria .

KanwuliaExtra:

Look at the level of insecurity in Nigeria-deliberately orchestrated to keep the common man in fear and uncertainty?
Why deliberate? So they cannot question or fight the status quo.

This is so true just like the corruption induced poverty, lack of electricity, no safety net a.k.a social security payments for the unemployed.

Poverty is a well orchestrated plan by our politicians to keep 200 million people in perpetual poverty so that they - the corrupt politicians and their cronies - will have a big pool of desperate impoverished people to pick their servants from.

If Nigeria had a safety net like social security payments for EVERY unemployed Nigerian (just like they have in civilized countries), then no one will be desperate enough to be a perpetual servant slave to the blood sucking Nigerian politician and if such a safety net exists, watch how crime will go down when people are not so desperate as they know that even if they are unemployed, they will not be homeless or hungry and their children's school fees and feeding will be taken care of by the Government like is done in civilized countries.

But will our wicked politicians introduce such a social security system ? I think the answer is no because if they do, then the floor is being leveled between them and the masses since the masses can afford to eat what the politicians eat and the masses are not desperate enough to be their perpetual servants.

I returned to Nigeria 4 years ago and still regret it till today.

I am trapped here for now, but hopefully I will overcome the evil in this place

How do you cope as it seems you live is in a IPOB hotspot. How can somebody come pay your bride price without fear of being kidnapped and beheaded?
I am serious oo!

I laughed when talked about your restaurant business and employing 9 thieves as staff. Employ a thieving manager and your business is already doomed. You have to be the manager and all staff must be considered easily disposable if they fail to meet targets that you must set for them. I can relate because I made the same mistakes and my business failed and I plan to implement these lessons in my next business when I return. But my friend, we must go back home as we are only guests in the foreign land and tomorrow they may decide to deport us all for no reason.
