Most Nigerians especially Igbos see the idea of moving back to their hometown as a defeat. If the City (for instance Lagos) becomes very difficult, I don't see anything wrong in relocating. There are people there afterall.

What are your thoughts on this?

Some of these Lagosians you see would have faired very well if they move back to their villages and apply same energy for hustling. Besides villages ain't really villages anymore.

Honestly, if i have a village i would have relocated for the comfort, quiet and slow paced life.
The hustle and bustle of PH city is killing me.

If it's not part of a retirement plan...then something is obviously wrong.

Damnnn niggar

Normally Africans get dull mentality

If there is network and good electricity i don't see the good thing in the city with too much noise

The serene and tranquil nature of Village is second to non
Go visit my grandma for village
I was shocked that the village was having almost 24 hours light...if them bring the light 10pm na till 5pm till next day them dey seize am

Do you know what it means to be close to your village people? Village people can't accept you if you have not failed!

You wan go back village?

U'hv stayed years in the city and suddenly u came back to the village with nothing. The worse part is that u come day rent house inside the same village join.

E go take God's grace not to give yourself F9 in the hustle.

Even God instructed Abraham to leave his father's land to be blessed, same way Joseph was blessed in a foreign land, Esther the same.

Ignorance is the main reason. In the village, you can easily get access to acres of land to farm at very low prices and harvest go plenty.

I need a video editor. Salary 120k. See my threads for details

Reading...

Relocating to your village makes one lazy. obviously you will be living in your father's house and that hussling spirit will just die off

The question is, " What was the aim of relocation?"
Most people who relocated did so because they couldn't afford the lifestyle of the city.
However, a few others do so for the serenity.
Such people have good source of income which is most times in the cities.

Other set of people who go are the elderly, which should be encouraged. Once you are getting older, you should get closer to your people

Exactly the same reason Happie Boys are telling Apostle Chibuzor of OPM : "Them No Born You Well"

If you're not relocating to the village at an age that is considered to be your inactive years where rest and peace of mind is the prime focus, Oga you are a failure!

You wan go spread mat for village people mouth,when you are still hustling? Oya dey go nau

Fear of village witches and wizards

Because the village is where the poorest of the poor live.

This I have seen.

Shitty mentality.

Even the opportunities in cities we keep trooping for is on a tightrope now, it's no longer a level playing field.

The city and urban areas in general have more opportunities.

So if you cannot make it in a place where there are more opportunities is it in a place where there are fewer that you will now make it?

This is the general thinking. This also applies to those who return to 9ja from abroad. It is true sometimes, while at other times it is not true

Meanwhile rich people in other climes relocate from the city to the country side- I.e village.

Maybe it's colonial mentality that is doing us.

Opportunities are limited in villages. It's not really about "defeat"

The fear of village witches and wizards

You think villages and rural areas have opportunities like Urban areas? No be everybody Sabi farm. When you say villages, are you talking about the rural part of the state of the State itself?

Village is for retirement not for a young man to hustle

A large percentage of relocation are not entirely because of money, some Nigerians can be terrible. Nigerians are running from their fellow Nigerians. Even people abroad ran from Nigeria they are not running from the land, they are running from the people.

We need to change out ways

My plan for village is huge ... Once I can reach certain mile stone, I desire to move into the village and not just the village but into the thick Forrest away from people, I will make sure all the things that I need are available and I will go into serious mechanized farming ... I will have a full plan for Fulani herdsmen I will dedicate a substantial budget to security via technology and I will be extremely ruthless with trespassing. I love solitude and nature and anything that takes me away from humanity, I tried it for a couple of years now and I realized, how much I love staying away from people and the village life will be best, a place where I can wake up in the morning and enjoy the pristine beauty of nature where I can gaze upon the hills and see the morning dew flow through the fingers of the trees. Where I can take a stroll into my farm and pluck fresh food that has no unnatural additives and take a momentary dip in the stream on my property. Wow I am almost moved to tears of joy as I type.... Life away from the monotonous rat race of struggling for money only to spend it on things that don't bring you any fulfilment beyond your desire to oppress your neighbor and be recognized in groups of people who are just as confused as you.
