Their pension is better to spend outside of the Diaspora. Their pension will last longer here than in the abroad. If they have serious health issues, they can go back to sort it our. Best of both worlds. 3 Likes |

Apus: Laffss. Emptiness for where insecurity de? People return home majorly for 2 reasons 1. Their pension is enough to spend in Nigeria enjoyable. They can afford to hire driver, cleaner, security etc which they can’t abroad with same pension. 2. Nobody get their time. Even their own son will dump them in care home because he wants enjoy his life. Oyinbo don’t live communal life. Everyman is on his own. Communal life that will keep them active and enough bar to spend 4 Likes |

They said that East or West, home is best. It shouldn't surprise you cos there is this attachment to where a person was born. The people, the way of life, the food, even the environment is missed. You are talking of abroad. Even my Igbo brothers who live in Lagos or Kano will always want to go back to the East once they get old. The hustle and bustle of Lagos will always give you tension. This life sef. |

Mode4: If you relocate in your 20s or 30s, you are likely to return at your old age. If you relocate in preteen or teen years , you are not likely to return at your old age. If you are borne abroad or you are a toddler and you relocate with your parents, you would rarely think of home. Also, those who are doing menial jobs are likely to return home. Professionals are not likely to return home. 5 Likes |

You are rooted to where you grow up especially your formative and youthful age and nothing can replace that especially for we Africans( in Nigeria igbos n yorubas especially) |

Even your uncle that lives in Lagos will always want to relocate to Ijebu Igbo once he is old. Very simple. Nobody wants to be carried back to his village in a coffin once you are lucky to live at old age. |

Jaqenhghar: There isn't an age limitation on paying taxes. There is no age limitation on paying taxes. Federal income tax is incurred whenever you earn taxable income. However, people age around 70 may see their income taxes decrease or be eliminated entirely because the income they now earn has changed and decreased 1 Like |

immortalcrown:Well, that tells you that home is better than any other place so running diaspora is just waste of energy because of enjoyment that you can fight for at home so your descendants won't make same mistake of building other people's country while leaving yours to be exactly the way you left to go abroad. 1 Like |

JAGS001:They did not leave home because they wanted to. They left home because home has nothing to offer them. Consistently voting bad leaders has turned your home to an infertile land. By the time, you people will continue the same wrong decision by voting Tinubu or atiku in, the level of Japa from Nigeria would be unprecedented. Not just hustlers, but critical productive population. Mostly young people. They are just waiting for the 2023 elections to finish and see the outcome, and they will make their move. 2 Likes |

But why can't the people in the country come together to do what will benefit them, must someone come from abroad to do what is necessary, is that how other peoples developed their countries, by waiting for those outside to come and make it better. The truth is we do not like ourselves so we do not unite to help ourselves and then we are waiting for others who are outside to come and make it better. If people cannot do what is helpful in the country, what makes you think they will listen to those who come from outside, i hear stories of how nigerians cheat and kill their relatives who are outside the country. We have a problem inside ourselves. CSTRR: |

Mode4: It all boils down to the cost of living. Even staying in a personal income tax-free state like Florida on aggregate the living cost in Nigeria still comes out better. The only place that comes close to Nigeria in my findings is Costa Rica and since I only speak small Spanish I guess that's out of it. With good planning average Social Security payment @ 62 is $1980 and @65 is $2250 without even touching one personal 401k and other investment income. One can live the good life in Nigeria solely on Social Security, Once you planned ahead and have a House built already in Nigeria trust me you will only need to come back to the US twice a year to use Medicare for annual checks up. Your monthly Social Security check is automatically deposited into your account without any worry fully backed by USA Treasury 1 Like |
