While I agree with your intentions to discourage emigration… your proposed ideas makes zero sense sorry.

1. India, China, Indonesia among others doesn’t allow dual citizenship too, that hasn’t stopped their citizens from leaving. Humans will always move, that’s part of our natural traits.

2. Sending home 10% ?? Dead on arrival. The US is one of the few countries with foreign tax, there is a certain amount you should make before you’re asking to pay tax e.g. you have to make atleast 200k and above. Here you are proposing to send 10% of all my income to a country that I don’t live and offer me no benefits whatsoever for being a citizen living outside of the country. We have no effectively perfect our tax collection nationally, you’re jumping to abroad income 😂😂😂

3. Close all embassies and consulates? The is pure ignorance cos embassies and consulates don’t exist only for their citizens abroad. Even North Korea maintain embassies where they are allowed to have one, had atleast 40 of them across the world even though their country has been on lockdown for decades.

Here’s insights for you …
- Somalia is one of the fast growing countries in Africa because it’s making progressive policies to attract their citizens abroad.

- Iraqi, El Salvador, Ghana, Benin republic, Zambia, Dominican Republic … are example of countries that’s constantly attracting their citizens abroad to invest home and some moving back permanently to invest. All they has to do was make better policies.

If i hear that phrase “secure the children’s future” one more time, i may throw up. I will number my points as i donot have the patience to arrange my paragraphs sequentially.

1. This only becomes a thing when the wife is less successful and have chances of becoming the breadwinner abroad e.g doctors and nurses. The husbands sheepishly throws it all away to start from scratch. I have never seen a wife resign from a blue collar job to become a carton picker abroad. What is wrong with men? God forbid

2. There’s no evidence that kids born abroad are more successful.

3. A public university in Nigeria is better than an unknown university abroad. Afterall, it’s our own educational system that empowered the parents to be able to consider japa and land jobs abroad.

4. Kids born abroad are less likely to attend ivy league schools due to the cost. The high paying jobs would be taken by alumnis of ivy league schools and smart immigrants before abroad born kids that attended average unis.

5. The level of civilization abroad would become the baseline for the kids and they would take it for granted. Imagine if Shakespear were to somehow appear in this century. He would marvel at what the world has become. Here we are, we don’t even acknowledge some of the mind blowing inventions we have currently because it’s our baseline. It would be same for kids born abroad.


6. No evidence exists that you can’t get a high flyer job as a Nigerian schooled. For example, an ex PwC in Nigeria can also get a PwC or big 4 job abroad. I know someone who just got a job with Mckinsey in canada and he spend all his years schooling in Nigeria.


7. A dull kid in Nigeria would also be dull abroad. A kid with grace in Nigeria would also operate with same level of grace abroad

8. Japa to secure the future of the kids would place an unfair burden on the children in future. You would definitely hear some parents saying “ After all I sacrificed to bring you here” They will resent you for it and probably distance themselves from you.

9. If you are successfull, there’s high likelihood for your children to be regardless of their location. Afterall, they carry what you carry except you dilute their genes by choosing the wrong woman

10. 65% or more probability that your kids will undergoe a sex change or be initiated into homosexuality at school. Remember, it is legal for them to do this without your consent and you can get imprisoned if you try to interfere. The society will hail them as “brave”
