Its not just about the act of travelling. It's the reason behind it. Most people relocate because basic amenities is provided out there. Because the education to a level is free. They don't think about school fees from Montessori to university. They get paid in a currency that is strong.

If Nigeria solve all of these, do you think people will travel? When 1 naira was more valuable than the dollar in the 70s, why will someone want to travel for Greener pastures when the land is greener here. People only travel for education back then. Once they are done, they are back to Nigeria because Nigeria was better.

Yes, the USA does NOT export Software Developers. I am an IT manager (Was a dev for about 20 years or so) in the US, and I can tell you, it's very difficult to fill open positions. Our IT dept has hundreds of software devs, with over 80% of them being of Indian origin. Almost my whole team is based in India. The ability to work remotely is also key. Devs will not even waste time with you if you do not give them the option to work from home. I have not been to the office since around April 2000, when covid first started. Would be great to be able to make US salary and work out of Nigeria. However, excellent internet connectivity and power are extremely important. Unfortunately, those are still not easily and cheaply achievable in Nigeria.

The smartest developers will work from Naija and earn dollars. $50k per year will change ur life from Naija. Once u start making over $100k you will be living like a king. Running generators by the drum

My brother.
Traveling is part of education and because most people are poor in nigeria, they hardly travel to see what is happening outside their country.
Most nigerians traveling sef are not doing that becuase they wan to for tourism or vacation, it is due to poverty - seeking greener pasture or hard saving to go to school/course or medical reason.
Aside accra in ghan, others are mostly shitholes.
Angola as a whole has only 2 telecommunication network. Imagine a country with just mtn and glo...finish....no competition, no bringing down prices...you don't have a choice.
Cabinda airport looks like maiduguri airport....low traffic...probably 1 or 2 flights per day.
Soyo airport same.....roughly 1 flight per day.

I have never been a fan of leaving Nigeria totally,it's my country home and God has a reason for drafting me here.

No matter how dark the light may be,the will be bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Those leaving are free to,but once Nigeria gets it right,they will see what they are missing.

I still believe in Nigeria

tensazangetsu20:
You are an optimist. I really do not care for Nigerian politics but even a peter obi's presidency would not change Nigeria's fate. People are yet to come to terms with the destruction Buhari has meted to the Nigerian economy. It will take at least 20 to 30 years to fix.

emmaodet:
it is true.

I make close to your figures and stays in nigeria but bro, there is still this fear in you of not falling and going broke.
Nigeria no get shock absorber. If you go out of job, you may likely deplete your savings and go aground without floating again.
In US, even after losing a job, within 6 months you would have gotten something to keep you afloat again and that is the big inssurance we are looking for. Nigeria no get insurance at all.
I don't want to get stuck and 15 years from now, my child will start blaming me that why didn't i leave during my time when when it was easier to travel than their time when my mates where leaving.
I hope not to here that statement from my kids in regret....that ''had i know statement''

The fact remains that in life, after God, it's government.
The government of a country greatly determines how a country is/will be.
How a country is determines how comfortably we worship, we start business, we do business, we travel and have leisure, even the confidence to invest.

In Myanmar, the Rohinginya Muslims don't worship easily, in China, the Buddhists of Tibet don't worship easily.

In Nigeria can't easily start a business without one illegal payment or the other.

Don't be too pessimistic. Even war torn Europe was able to fully recover from World War II destruction within a decade.

If OBJ could achieve a lot after the kleptocratic governments of Babangida, Abacha and Abdulsalam Abubakar, all hope isn't lost.

The government debt as a percentage of GDP today hovers around 23%. By the time Buhari hands over, it should hit 25%. This is still manageable. Fast economic growth and budget deficits of no more than 2% of GDP combined with rapid revenue drive should be able to cut down the debt burden to about `15% in a few years. Borrowing should always be moderated despite the urge always do otherwise. Cost cutting and prudency should be the hallmark.

In as little as 4 years, if transformative policies are implemented, the economy should make a strong turnaround.

CaveAdullam:
Nothing can beat my conviction that Nigeria/Africa is dead! Dead and bite the dust decades ago.

Born an African is the worst that can ever be done to an individual.

Patriotic Africans we believe in you. But as for me and my house, "na japa o".

Modified

2. Africa/Nigeria can only change if her leaders and people are ready. There are a lot of books in the library, posts on the internet, and ideas in the heads of intelligent citizens that can make this change spontaneous.

Nothing is working because these solutions are ignored. Books are not read. Intelligent people are treated ignominiously. If ideas are not entertaining and emotionally enthralling they will slide into the dust bin. (Now, just imagine the craze that will surround Nigerians in the next few months as BBnaija kickstarts). Our leaders and people are not ready!

3. Entertainment is now the order of the day. Give the people crumbs and entertainment, they will forget their sorrow. They waste their years in snail pace motion expecting a white-bearded God in heaven to come to help them with his host of angels. Crazy sets of people!

4. With what I experienced on Saturday, I know for sure that the masses are not ready.

When I went to do my voter's card registration, the man in charge of calling names started playing games, and taking bribes from people that came late for them to do their registration quickly. The man came and started using plausible statements to convince us/others why it is so. They all agreed, but it was once my senses spotted the manipulation and about 3 guys and a girl joined me to call out the game. 5 of us were the ones that countered the game at the front.

But what I discovered was that it was just the 5 of us that were just shouting, others who started at the beginning faded as the tension continued. Some were swearing in the name of God. Some have resulted in the fate that that is how Nigeria goes and there is nothing we can do about it. All man for himself.

All excuses given are the same as the general population. The more we remain cold and sober rather than take drastic action collectively and in unity the more we slip into oblivion. And to think that youths are draining void of vigor and pushback; it is obvious that the nation has been lost in the cemetery.

5. I do pity women, however, most of them have finagled their way through various shades of prostitution to make ends meet. With "clitocurrency" there's hope for them. Their biological clock doesn't give any fvck about them, neither does politics nor socioeconomic status. Tick tock, tick tock...when it is time it bombs.

6. Men are at the barest, the worst, and the hottest zone when there is an economic and political breakdown. "Penitocurrency" doesn't move the market because women who are ready to trade are few, and want it cheap or even for free (in actual sense, free is the price).

Like clitocurrency, thirsty men are in abundant supply as if the flood gates of heaven have been keeping them hostage.

7. Men suffer harshly because no hope. No help. Ambition dies. Passion is lost. Strength gone. Their only struggle is survival, at least 1 meal a day. Biology will favor them as they can reproduce till old age. Those that survived the economic and political tragedy will come out with tangible experiences and wisdom.

8. Where poverty weakens the majority of women as a result of sexual promiscuity. Poverty shapes men to take hold of the situation and attain leadership. Few men may reach this stage but they are the ones that bring change until the next chaotic circle.

9. The fact that you are born in a particular country doesn't mean all of your life will circulate there. You can decide to leave for another nation. You can decide to achieve your dream in another nation. You can decide to migrate and never come back. Those limiting their focus to their place of birth are not truly taking the best decision except they lack the opportunity of migrating to a better place.

10. In a critical period like this, it is not advisable to reproduce because the child becomes a burden in addition to your partner.

Why do poor people reproduce more by the way?

Poverty means a lack of resources. The more you reproduce the more you have children that will take your gene to the next generation. Not reproducing is biological and evolutionary stupid. Genes are what nature cares for, not fine clothes, wallets, and shoes.

Rich people already have the resources to cater to their 2 kids and with maximum care, those kids will yield future generations.

Reproduction for the poor is a game of quantity and survival. While for the rich it is a game of quality and survival. All there happen subconsciously. Mother nature is at work, she never takes a moment of rest, not even for once.

11. To sum it up: it is foolishness, I mean, broad daylight foolishness to:

a. Blame the masses for the failure of the government. The masses have their share of the blame, but you must understand that power belongs to the government. Democracy is a 21st-century scam. Covid 19/lockdown is enough to portray this story.

The people trusted the government into power, and it is expedient as a rule and order warranty that the government should keep to its promises.

b. Comparing failed Africa/Nigeria to developed nations. If a nation is failing, no amount of wishful thinking and white painting can repair it. No God is coming to help. If leaders continue to worship their guts, belly, and pockets kerfuffles will remain ubiquitous.

Rather than fault racism, and black slavery, Blacks should stand up and unite together. The internet has already done most of the job for us. But if we still focus on equalling shoulders with an IQ below average(85/100) with Asians(105+), Europeans(100+), and Whites(100+) we will continue to hit shame and disappointment.

TL;DR: fvck off!

Thanks.
