Thanks for the kind words. Check your PM for my response.

Sir, you have spoken well like a real Nigerian not like those Nigerian based mofos who seek to be slaves in another man's land.

I would like to meet with you if for nothing, acquaintance and chop your knuckle small for your wise decision. Reply my pm.

Thanks.

LOL. The more friends the better

Daresh:


Can I be your friend too?

You're welcome. Everything will work itself out as long as you're willing to make that move. Be bold! Trust your instincts and never doubt your heart. Irrespective of your line of work, you will find companies or organization that need your skill set otherwise you can start a business of your own with less capital than you'll probably ever require in the States. If you're fortunate enough, you might land a position with a good company that will provide you a chauffeured company vehicle, with 1 month paid yearly vacation with other perks.

It's hard for the people here to understand when I tell them it's easier to make economic gains in Nigeria in comparison to the U.S where virtually every sector is somewhat saturated. You'd be shocked at the amount of white Americans making millions from Nigeria on the down-low in real estate and other sectors. Even that evil empire (Walmart) realized the huge potentials in Nigeria and are moving rapidly to stake their claims: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-08-11/billionaire-wiese-targets-nigeria-with-pepkor-as-he-expands-african-empire

In our experiences since we've been in the country, the positives far outweigh the negatives so we couldn't be happier.
Aside from the occasional stories of armed robberies, Nigeria is relatively peaceful if you move with the right crowd. Gun-violence is pretty much non-existent and the people are generally peaceful and easy going. Obviously, you'd have to be willing to adjust to some irregularities and inconveniences but so it is when migrating somewhere else. We'll be glad to offer any assistance we can to you.

Wow very encouraging, Thankyou for sharing your inspiring story. You get it. Thank you for reaching out to me you really hit everything spot on in your post. Best one I've read today. Tell your wife I said hi. I will keep in touch

Glamrock, I specifically signed up on Nairaland after reading your post on "10 reasons why you're moving from America" and I showed your topic to my wife and informed her I would register on this forum just to encourage you. You have a family in us any day sis. You are making the right move sista, you can't go wrong.

A brief history of my background and why I was easily drawn to your posts and why we share similar experiences:

1. Born and raised in Lagos and moved to the U.S at a young age. I left Nigeria in October 1993 and never came back until January 2015! Yup, 21 straight years! I last resided in Florida after having lived in Atlanta and Boston. Coming back to Nigeria was interesting as I saw it through the eyes of a foreigner having been away for so long! I wowed in amazement seeing how developed Nigeria truly is although most of the locals are blind to this reality. They crave glitters while I crave understated beauty and simplicity. They crave excess, while I crave contentment. They praise the AmeriKKKan white man because they have no prolonged first time experience of how evil he is and how he's disagreeable to anyone of African ancestry.

2. I was single when I left for the U.S but came back with a wife and kids who had never ventured outside of America until this past January. They were born and raised in the U.S and attended charter schools but we pulled them for fear of ever rising racial prosecution. We couldn't stand to see our kids before looked upon as 2nd class citizens.

3. I relocated my entire family to Nigeria because it finally dawned on me that AmeriKKKa is the "land of the free AND home of the slaves". I feared for the lives of my kids especially my sons after watching the Ferguson Riots, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin,etc. They are exterminating young black men irrespective of how young they are. There is definitely an agenda against teenage boys in AmeriKKKa and this genocide is on the rise daily.

4. I finally saw that Nigeria was not as bad as I thought it were 21 years ago. As the saying goes " the grass looks greener on the other side". Looking around now, I have come to respect my african heritage and have been trying to educate some of these ignorant average Nigerians that AmeriKKKa is a systematic racist place and it's impossible for any sense having black person to feel complete in that over-gloried country.

5. Since we relocated to Nigeria 2 months ago, we've felt peace like we never had in my 21 yrs in America. My kids are happier here and my wife love it too despite the little challenges. We complained about the lack of constant power supply at home but have since invested in multi battery inverters to give us 24 hours electricity. Despite all the little challenges we've experienced in Nigeria, nothing can make us leave again for the U.S. There is really nothing that we need from the U.S that we can't readily have in Nigeria.

6. Business opportunities abound in Nigeria and the current strength of the dollar is to your advantage. The locals here don't really see the opportunities starring them right in the eyes 'cause they're too busy trying to make instant millions when they could gradually build an empire.

7. 1 met 7 other returness from AmeriKKKa and we all came to the same conclusion that Nigeria is actually a better place to live and raise kids than AmeriKKKa. The simple minded will never understand that 'cause they're so wrapped up in materialism and glamorization of AmeriKKKa but those of us who have lived there for decades can easily tell the difference of how fake AmeriKKKa is as a nation and how the country can never truly be integrated.

8. Since we relocated, I have not experience any iota of racism and that in itself is peace to my soul.

9. I've been educating my African-American friends to come visit Africa and start reconnecting with their roots for a deeper cleansing and rebirth.

9. My family will gladly welcome you and 'cause we shared the same struggles with African-Americans and we can advise you of do and don'ts and how to live a balance life in Nigeria.

10. Lastly, my wife and I vowed never to step foot in America again knowing all we know now.

Keep in touch!
