Nigerian/African People should stop seeing Nigerians/Africans who live/lived and school/schooled abroad as more human/superior than Nigerians/Africans who live, work and school/schooled within.

There is this nonsense I see and hear on the streets often; the way Nigerian masses tend to view or see or perceive Nigerians who ply their trades outside Nigeria as superiors to those who ply their trades within the country.

It's a self insulting and self defeating way of viewing oneself as citizens and residents of Nigeria.

The only things that change when a Nigerian goes outside are
(1.) The Systematic advantage of the Country they travel/travelled to,
(2.) Maybe their bloody lingual accent,

Nothing else changes, its still the same skin, the same DNA, the same everything, maybe not the same systematic advantage but there's no much difference between the Nigerian who does his trade outside the country and the one who does his inside or within the country, it's stupid and self insulting and self defeating for you the hardworking Nigerian to see an individual who is just as Nigerian as you are as superior just because abroad is involved.
That kind of archaic villageman or villagewoman self insulting mindset has to die a natural death if at all with a renewed patriotic self esteem you desire to water the seeds of true change, emancipation and development in Nigeria.

During the Star Mega Jam music concert a few years ago, PSquare and a couple of other notable Nigerian artistes who were home based as at the time their music careers picked up momentum refused to perform exactly the same amount of time with the foreign artistes for a lesser pay because according to them, it is self insulting to pay your home grown professionals lesser amount of funds and respect than the ones you flew in from abroad and expect your home grown artists to perform for the same amount of time with the foreign artist.
This protest was carried out extensively by PMAN until the Nigerian music is now as globally competitive and well acknowledged as it is today.
In football, notable players in the Glo Premier league should be given key roles in the nation's teams, who scored the winning goal for Nigeria to lift the 2013 Nations Cup? A foreign based player didn't do that.
YOUR COUNTRY CAN'T DEVELOP IF YOU GIVE TOO MUCH CREDITS/RESPECT TO ABROAD THAN HOME.
From my own candid and clear opinion, those folks who do their business at home develop the country more than those who travel out because the capital flight is reduced and the money circulates within the country.
It's not wise to celebrate the Nigerian abroad more than you celebrate the ones who slept with dogs in Dubai and came back home to brandish dirams like they're better than the pretty virgins we have at home!
Just because abroad is involved doesn't mean you have devolved into a Cebus, you are a Homo Sapien.

Dear Nigerians, let that nonsense stop, if we want Nigeria to improve.
Stop celebrating foreign bases folks more than the home based folks, its SELF INSULTING! Thanks.
Yours Sincerely;

Yea Mr. Constance you are in for a long ride. This issue cut across our general social life style.

We are laced with gross level of inferiority complex hence the subject matter.

True

We Africans (and Nigeria’s esp.) lack understanding of who we are so we devalue our strength and rely, b’live on others.We need to trust our selves .
