lastkingsman: To be honest its very hard to leave Nigeria now. Imagine when the naira is now exchanging 3000 naira to a dollar. As bad as it is, I wont advise anyone to migrate without planning it well. If its school, pay all your tuition from Nigeria. Have at least 6 months to a year worth of rent and living expenses down to avoid regret and complaints. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Reelmii: Na weti lots of people take dey console themselves be this. But deep down, if they see the opportunity, they won't look back. It's not always greener on the other side and Nigeria is roasting everybody day and night. I refused to console myself with words like these but instead take a bold step to make my dreams come through. Let's desist from all form of persimism cuz it hinders one progress and makes one feel too relaxed and comfortable with the situations of things without making any effort to even see if a miraculous light could just pop up and shine through one's life. 3 Likes |

In 2025 it will be 85 years ( since 1945) that Black Africa started nationalism to end Western imperialism. We gained independence. But what have we done with the freedom? Absolutely nothing! South Africa is decaying by the day. Johannesburg used to be one of the most developed cities in the world prior to 1994. That city is today overwhelmed with power cuts, waste management challenges and crime. The black man has a problem. Let's continue to form woke. We'll see who suffers the consequences. 8 Likes 1 Share |

By a large means... I was comfortable to a certain extent.... Now I'm in Europe to start over..... Without experience here.. You will have to start all over to work your way up the food chain which is never easy to do... So far... I had a better life while in 9ja than now... That is not to say I regret the decision I've made because me na certified hustler...

Re: I Envy People Who Left Nigeria Already. by Scholace: 6:58pm On Feb 01 |
004gist:The few people i know abroad are doing better than 95% of Nigerians. There are lots of family in Nigeria that would have die of hunger and starvation if not for their siblings, uncle, aunties abroad helping them. The remittance from abroad alone to Nigeria is miles ahead of our national budget. 8 of every 10 standard houses in my own area are owned by the diasporans. I wouldn't advise those doing very fine in Nigeria to abandon everything and go start afresh though. I think abroad should be for those striving to survive in Nigeria, if they have the means to go, they shouldn't think it twice before leaving. Nonetheless, people doing pretty fine relocate not basically for economic reasons but probably for security, quality education, healthcare et al 6 Likes |

ogbonti: Hope you get 100m ransom when dem kidnap you or somebody in your family. Can you do road trips at night from one state to the other in Nigeria? Wait until you have a medical emergency like a heart attack , stroke, or kidney failure and die like a chicken. Nigeria will happen to most people at some point. Some people are running away for security and peace of mind and not necessarily money. Here in Gambia for the past 5 years and i do not miss Nigeria for one day. 3 Likes |
