Here's a trending article I read on the world's most popular forum Quora.

"Opportunities once flowed in Nigeria as abundantly as the Niger River, but that narrative has long changed.

Nigerians, known to be resourceful, educated, and fueled by ambition are leaving the shores of their motherland in droves, not in a casual drift but in a frantic exodus.

They're running from a crucible of crises that boils and overflows, leaving a residue of despair with no extinguisher in sight.

A country of numerous resources has become a labyrinth of misfortunes. Governed by the worst of leaders who have weaponized poverty for their selfish interest—that is, when patriotic Nigerians rise to question, and fight, the government, their opponent would be fellow poor Nigerians, fighting tooth and nail for the same politicians who have kept them so.

Nigerians find themselves locked in an ever-intensifying cycle of multi-dimensional problems. From economic chaos to sometimes, unbearable insecurity, the nation's woes accumulate like sediment, each layer more crippling than the last.

The government that the masses put their hopes on as custodian of public interest, has turned the country into a family enterprise, brokering ill-advised deals that mortgage the country’s future. Deals that have dwindled the Naira's value like melting ice.

Petrol prices have soared skyward to three times what they were just months ago, pulling along dreams and ambitions into fury flames.

And yet, our leaders plead for patience in a land where patience has bled dry. With this reality, the rich find their escape routes, seeking refuge in developed countries that offer a semblance of stability, leaving behind poor Nigerians tethered by financial constraints.

The only thing that seems permanent in Nigeria has become the disheartening truth that our yesteryears often outshine our tomorrows. This mass migration of Nigerians isn’t just alarming but frightening—a "brain drain" as it's called, because it's the middle class and skilled Nigerians who are leaving the country in droves.

Those who can no longer wait for the dawn are chasing the sun elsewhere, hoping to find what has become elusive at home— a life of value, a life worth living.

Nigeria has, year after year performed below expectations and for every emigrant, the implication is clear: faith in the motherland has eroded, leaving behind only the skeletal remains of what was once a thriving belief in a shared future that Nigerians can unite and make something out of themselves for the good of everyone who calls Nigeria home."

-Nigeria is a fake country and nothing good will ever come out of it. Some people in Nigeria may be decent but Nigeria? Na.

-Nigerians problems can only get worse, until they tell themselves the truth; the British experiment is NOT working. Until then, let the delusion continue.

Naija don cast...some of you don't even know how big an impact this article will make.

Please reply as if u are replying a non Nigerian.

Coz we wey dey hear. We sabi all d reasons available.

So abeg. Reply with little vexing 😂. Like say u dey educate non Nigerians.

One army general or so, e like say na chief of army staff say make all of una dey 9ja and fight for the country.
The man pikin and him relatives fit even don japa tey tey. The man dey 9ja dey receive jumbo pay, him dey carry well armed security dey move around, him dey live him life to the fullest, him no dey do anything tangible to guarantee such life of affluence. Dem dey pay am better money, dem no dey pay me but him wan make I stay fight for am.
Who dey deceive who?

There was a country....

The biggest problem of Nigeria is that the leaders don't even believe in the country.

Honestly, Nigeria have never worked, Nigeria is not working and Nigeria would never work, let's peacefully break up this country so that smaller, more manageable true nations can emerge from it.

When occultic men gained leadership positions things fall apart.
There is hardly any politician in the government houses of the states of South South that is not a cult member. These people have sold their conscience. They have mortgage some precious things in their lives and for this reason they want those who have not to either follow suit or die in penury by making draconic laws that pitch the common man with hardship.

Na frustrated people full this thread.. lol

Nigerians are looking for freedom. They are looking better livelihood. No one can stop them from moving not all this plenty talks and if one country close another will open. The only thing that will reduce japa is a better Nigeria and I repeat again we never move reach Indians , Chinese, Mexicans and Pakistanis

Even in UK, they have different countries. Why can't there be different countries in Nigeria? Why put people who have different ideology of life to live together?

-That's the conversation Nigerians have refused to have. Those who tried to start the conversation either get killed or put in solitary confinement, whilst idiots cheer the evil Nigeria rulers on. Everyone is facing the repercussion.

Funny enough, Nigerians rate of Migration is not as high as Indian, Chinese, Pakistani, Lebanese, Bangladesh, Mexican , Philippines even Egypt and Ethiopia migrate

Nigeria are just excessively loud about our migration

Most of Mexican and Philippines Foreign exchange comes from diaspora


Rockefeller are Irish
Donald Trump's family are from Germany
Italians family dominate NewYork

It's just a pity. They should all continue in their deceit.

Chaii. unah don enter Quora, very soon Reddit go carry.

People left the country because outcome of the last presidential election.

Nigeria where 60% of graduates are security gatemen.
Nigeria needs to divide into different countries because we can't manage our selves.

Nigeria does not instills hope in anybody. All this nation does is to kill vision and dreams.

I guess they’re not buying that ‘renewed hope’ promise and have elected to bail out before the boat sinks kpatakpata!

The former USSR did it and are better off for it today! But suggest same to naive Nigerians and they’ll look at you like you’ve just committed an abomination…..aru!

Jaapa

Make them dey go, make we see space

From all of us @MANNA,
North East West or South.........
No place like home.

Lol

If Nigeria was located in South America like Venezuela it would have been deserted and almost empty leaving behind only the political class. We would have all trekked through the Darien Gap to become citizens of US/Canada.

You've said it all


QUORA : Best in the world.
One day, Nairaland will get there.

Dumbest Question

Hardship.

The country itself is for sale

Nigerians can only bark, but they can't bite.
On jagaban mandate they stand, we the sane Nigerians just have to support them with encouragement, when it comes to feeding,let them go and fend for themselves, after all they have been robbing moving buses for some time now.

Tinubu government even destroyed the economy more. Tinubu government will spend 8 years in power still no hope in sight. I’ve remove my mind from this government since early this year. It’s about working on your self how to make money and travel to big countries that have fantastic economy.
