It is possible if you can find the data to support your view. There are now data for all these issues unlike before where people make wild guesses.

The report showing SW leading in remittances aligns with the data that clearly indicated that SW indigenes are the most populous in the diaspora.
Until I saw that data, I have only assumed that SW indigenes do more travel internationally than within the borders of our nation.

Are you insinuating that there is a direct correlation between remittances and population of Nigerians abroad? Have you considered that people from other geopolitical zones could be remitting funds via grey channels?

Would you say that Egypt has more Egyptians abroad than Nigeria because Egypt has higher remittances than Nigeria?

I have not seen the data but am telling you what I have seen. Have you wondered why the business guys continue to do their imports even with CBN currency restrictions, where do they get their foreign currencies from?

Funny question I have families abroad and I go abroad

Wetin dey inside travel

You go abroad does not mean you receive money.

SmartPolician:


Pakistanis are called immigrants (to describe people from poor countries living and working in rich ones)

Expatriates - someone from rich countries working in a poor country

Personal Semantics. It’s like calling someone biracial instead of “half-caste”. Or 6 vs half a dozen. An expat is an immigrant. An immigrant is an expat. Pakistanis are expats. They are also immigrants. Same with an American in Togo or a Brit in Gambia. Being an expat has nothing to do with being from a rich or poor country

But it means I also sent it to Naija?!

kenoyad:

Exactly, my point too, we should even be above Pakistan. A friend in UK send #1m or more every month and it's through backdoor, there's someone that send money to Nigeria, he will give him pounds, he credit his Nigerian bank that I opened for him, he have the naira in his Nigeria bank app and he use the money here for whatever he need to do, while the sender piles up the pounds for someone from Nigeria that will come to pick the pounds there from Nigeria. Same thing in south Africa, throughout my 3 and half years there, if we want to send money to Nigeria, we go to Emeka shop and give him Rand and he credit the Nigeria account. This practice is every where.

I have always used back alley methods to send money. Same with virtual everyone I know here. And thats for over 20 years here.

Egyptians plenty for middle east

Ogurube:
The remittances to Nigeria will continue to dwindle if our government, families, and friends back home continue to take for granted the hard-earned monies being sent to them. It is exhausting to see some of our people waste money on useless things, rather than making productive attempts to invest the money given.

That one join too but many other factors.

Life abroad is more difficult and expensive now than at anytime in over 30 years. But when you tell those at home you will hear : "But bros you never pack your load come to back to live in 9ja". You can see envy mixed with never believing simple truth in that statement.

Younger people coming abroad grew up in less communal settings in 9ja and are more self-centred compared to folks who left 9ja earlier from the 1970s to around 2005 to 2010. The parents/grandparents of the older diasporans are dying out and those that left kids in 9ja, their kids have grown or some even joined parents abroad already. Need to remit maintenance money is much less now. Many people I know have no parents any more in 9ja now. Dem nor too care anymore. The parents who made them tolerate the shenanigans of other relatives are no more.

Insecurity in 9ja over last 7 years has put off many from investing in 9ja. Those already building houses before 2015/16 may have continued for a couple of years hoping things will improve or just to complete their project. Investing in a country you are not safe going to is unattractive. Many now feel they should hold on to their little change wherever they are.

Many diasporans in their 50s to 60s are coming to terms with the fact that 9ja may never settle enough, insecurity, health care and basic amenities may never improve enough for them to retire home. The retirement houses they built or planned to build may never be needed. Their kids born and raised abroad certainly won't go back to 9ja to live. These have began to affect how people invest.

Some abroad have realised that despite making much effort to spread money around to as many friends and relatives as possible, entitlement mentality and constant demands are getting worse. The impression is like " My uncle in London is too stingy, he sent me only N50,000, my auntie in US is useless, my friend in Belgium refused to buy me common iPhone and frequent Nairaland and social media threads attacking uncles and aunties abroad. People who are navigating life, raising kids, and extending a hand to support many in 9ja. Not appreciated.

This trend may get even worse unless things improve.

Remember to get your PVC and vote for the best candidate, H.E Peter Obi. God bless Nigeria, God bless our incomping president, PO

.

Your so called PO aka Peter-Pandora-him-too-dey-lie-Obi is the worst among the presidential candidates.
Why ?
1. He is a bloody/unrepentant/incorrigible liar
2. He stole so much from Anambra state to the extent that doctors were not paid for thirteen (13) months and primary/secondary school teachers and colleges of education/Polytechnic/university lecturers in higher institutions in Anambra state were not paid for 11 months.
3. Civil servants were constantly owed and were paid on a pro-rata basis.
4. Local government administration was literally dead during P.O's maladministration.
5. Pensioners did not receive a dime from his 8 years misgovernanance/administration
6. He was so much a failure, that the PDP kicked him out and he had to use Ojukwu's goodwill to get back to office under APGA.
7. He is a textbook definition of a pitical prostitute : from PDP to APGA to PDP to LP and will soon go back to the PDP
8. stealing Anambra state government money to finance private business (hero beer and Next supermarkets in Abuja and Port Harcourt)
... in addition, Google
1. Azukwu SARS and James Nwafor
2. How many goverental agencies did he create as governor - zilch/none/nada
3. the lies of Peter Obi....

I would have continued, but for time and space.

.In a nutshell, Peter Obi is a packaged fraud

Impressive!! So what is now our Gini coefficient?

Most of it came from remittances to SW and these top 10 states with Edo state leading and all the 6 SW states in the top 10.

Mumu........the figures you quoted are not absolute amounts but a percentage of families relying on remittances.........so the southwest that brought in the evil APC regime are the ones relying the most on japa remittance! Go figure

Nigeria is better than Egypt. Egypt has not got the underground transmission of money as Nigeria, so we are safe to say 99% of remittance are captured, U gerriit??

Moh247:




It's continuously difficult to make remitances into Nigeria, WU, MG are all bullshit, PayPal is fvcked

Buhari keeps shouting Kwaraption Kwaraption about, with Emefiele setting us up like every cash in flow is linked to Yahoo and Drugs

Bitcoin Kwaraption
Westy UN Kwaraption
Money Grm Kwaraption
PayPal Kwaraption



.

Buhari and Emefiele are two stupid visionless idiots. They are responsible for less cash inflow. Before them i used to wire money . It was very easy to send Naira into my acct from here untill they came up with their useless policies . They made Nigeria poorer in so many areas.

It’s because it’s gotten more difficult to send money home. No platforms.

Why are they not expats?

Maybe my understanding of expats is bad. I thought expats means professionals working outside their country.
