Recently a family friend of ours - a very successful man with lots of properties called to announce their relocation to the UK.

Is this the new success or just a herd mentality?

no. .stay and build your NIGERIA is the real success

I don't see myself relocating

Yes especially at this winter season

the problem with Nigerians they think money is everything.



a) peace of mind


b) security


c) good weather.



Nigeria can't guarantee you what I listed above even with money.

In Nigeria, that man could get murdered without any investigation and nobody will be brought to justice. It will just be tagged “bandits” or “unknown gunmen” and case closed.

Electricity was discovered over 200 years ago but many Nigerians still pray for it

Where do you even start from? Nigeria is messed up, no argument there.

Probably;

Everybody wan japa

Clear road

Just dey play

NO

Jakpa sure pass.

"Relocation". It is actually escaping or fleeing. What do you expect in a hopeless situation? A country where the supposed leaders don't believe in. They can't secure their families abroad and you expect them to care about their country. There are three categories of people currently in Nigeria. Those who are actually living, those who are surviving & those who are just existing.

Yes

You never can tell as it's case to case basis. A large proportion would be herd mentality, while others would be to gain their sanity back, as most Nigerians have mental issues without being aware.

Stay and build Nigeria when urchins have vowed with their lives never to allow building or development of Nigeria. They did it in 2015, I know a lot of them here, and they are striving to do it again next year. They are on the mission to forcefully shove failures down our throat, so that the masses will continue languishing in poverty, hunger and starvation.

The guy understood the fact that anything that can go wrong will definitely go wrong.

Nigeria as an entity is like a buggy codebase with no form of defensive programming techniques deploy, shit is gonna happen it a matter of when not if.

You already know. But not only in Naija.
Even an American who relocates to Naija is more regarded by his neighbors in America.
That's just how life is.
BUT see video below, this can be his actual reality

What is your own definition of success? He called only those that are close to him and you decided to bring it to nairaland

Depends on the purpose and the reason and what you attend to achieve



Anyway, Agriculture is life.

Depending on the country but I no go lie for you, abroad sweet if you get the right papers and u de do legit things. I like Niger I no go lie for you but circumstances make men change their mind. Abroad is not that eldorado. Atimes it can be very boring I mean very boring if you are the social type and you meet in countries where it is mind your business but in all if don change my passport and make money, I de come back. I miss Niger food, vibes, preaching and evangelism etc. but he de easier to go heaven from abroad than for Niger oo coz small small sins like gossiping, malice, unnecessary hatred etc. wey big pass fornication no de here

Only people ready to accept less or below average thrown to them by the majority of Nigerians whom are idiots are staying back.

Lol... As if relocation to the said abroad is cheap... If only they know how costly it is, ppl will think twice

sukkot

The new security of lives and properties that you just begin to experience is a success.

Stay here and help resolve the Nigeria problem.
Nigeria will always fail its people.
The political structure warrants election of the worst people to preside over the country at any turn.
The fraudulent political structure was created between 1967-1996 by northern soldiers who created 19 states in one region but 17 states in two regions. The fraudulent political structure of 36 states with 19 in the old Northern region obstructs the southern presidential candidates when north supports a presidential candidate. There should have been more states in the old southern regions than in the northern region. In countries formed by diverse regions, land mass or population figures is never used as criterion to proliferate too many new federating units like states in a region with larger land mass or population.

It has always been this way.

Yes naa, it's the African syndrome. But little do they know slavery's still existing the west has just been concealing it.

It's choice, let everyone do what they want. Everyone can't stay here.

Nigeria should be sold

I'll prefer to be a billionaire in Nigeria then I can travel round the world for vacation at any time
