I guess you live in Nigeria so I understand your mentality. Left Naija 15yrs ago so I understand how things works in a sane society like the one I live in Swiss. I don't blame you though the country can destroy even Einstein.
Fragility6: D reason you will go forward is you don't appreciate little.You hav bin so blinded by bitterness u dont see anytin positive. Its a known fact they have bin looting the resources for years but if dey could remit little of the loot into creating jobs we will appreciate dem. We will fight for ourselves to survive afterall it isnt the government dat puts food in our table But in a situation were somebody loots without investing back is a problem. Enough reasons why some of us preferred d PDP rule. They stole but economy was still okay.Diz one,dey are stealing n still borrowing to steal claiming the country doesn't hav money. Choose your devil wisely
The reason why some of you will remain backward and poor forever.. Guy!! These animals have been stealing since 1960 and nothing to show for it,suddenly one the thieves decides to investment 50million dollars of the money he stole and you all jubilating.And funniest thing is 50million dollars is nothing to them.
Fragility6: Na bitterness go kill some of una o. Weda its 1million naira investment e no mean d most important thing is dat unemployment rate in dat region will be reduced a bit. Stop been negative allnd time.Half bread is beta dan none
50million dollars investment you guys are celebrating,an oil producing country..na wa oo

Come home to do what? a country that cannot fix electricity since 1914,a country where abnormal is normal, no value for life, criminals everywhere,lazy and unproductive young men and women,lazy bunch of people who just want fast money without work.

ModestGal: The Indians also like travelling, if you see the way they force themselves to learn English and pass IELTS, some would write IELTS 20times.
They are hustlers just like Nigerians, in fact, they like to Japa more than Nigerians
But please, whenever you all go and study abroad, try to come back home and if you can't, thank God this is the time of social media, try to make impact at home. Its not compulsorily you impact by sending people money, there are several other ways. Let us see the benefit of you studying at Harvard and Oxford, don't let it be a waste. You went there to study for you to use that knowledge to help your people, we've had so many Nigerians that graduated from Harvard, Oxford and many of them are waste. The essence of Education and exposure is to learn how some people do things and bring that knowledge home to share. Its surprising that many of our proffesors that studied abroad only use it as a means of boosting their Ego alone, ''I studied at Harvard'', ''I studied at Oxford'' Who e help? The essence is to start such in your home countries where you lecture. We should have had the likes of Harvard, Oxford by now, if only they brought those knowledge home, even to treat STUDENTS as human beings is a problem for them, and they all see how they treat students in advanced countries that they studied.
Please please, we are tired of this, remember your generation would ask you where they are from and would love to connect home, many black children now search for where they are from and do ancestry DNA test, so don't think, I would JAPA and never step foot into this country, so I don't care if it rots. If it rots, your great grandchildren would be ashamed of home and their origin, don't make them suffer that emotional pains. Remember Home and contribute your part. God bless you
