This is the DUMBEST post on the internet today.

First of all, "secure the kids future" is NOT parents' way of GUARANTEEING success. NO ONE can guarantee success.

"Securing the kids future" means giving them MORE and BETTER opportunity to succeed. For instance, a child born abroad would not have to suffer the STIGMA of carrying the accursed Nigerian Passport.

Their kids would not have to deal with "praying for divine healing" just because medical institutions don't have the simplest drugs or equipment.

ALSO the idea that a Public University in Nigeria is better than an unknown university abroad is a HAREBRAINED one.

The No. 1 University in Nigeria is UI. YET, it has a Webometrics world rank of 1,144. In other words, there are 1,143 Universities and Colleges out there that are FAR BETTER than the best University in Nigeria. And MOST of them are UNKNOWN to you.

That a University is unknown to you does NOT mean you can question their merits or compare them to what you have in Nigeria. It's a testament to your ignorance NOT a failure on the part of the schools.

Your point that there is no proof that kids born abroad are more successful is also pretty DUMB. An average child born in a society that works is ALREADY a 1000X more successful than an average child born in a SHITHOLE like Nigeria.

Environment MATTERS!

To claim otherwise is just DUMB!

By the way, what is WRONG with having a DECENT level of civilisation as a baseline?

You mentioned MIND-BLOWING inventions that are taken for granted. How many of these inventions are in Nigeria?

Countries have moved on to bullet trains and overhead cars for transportation yet Nigeria CANNOT get ordinary traffic lights to work.

Finally, people who apply to schools abroad KNOW what they are doing. First of all, it's not easy to get a job similar to the one you have in Nigeria.

The job will need to provide visa sponsorship. That's a hurdle that most companies are UNWILLING to cross for someone without LOCAL experience. Especially, when they can choose from people already in the country.

The Student's Visa route put their feet in the door. Plus, a degree from an "unknown" Local University would do MORE good than a degree from the BEST university in Nigeria.

In short, FLEEING Nigeria to secure your kids future by ANY means whatsoever is LAUDABLE. Even if it's through an esoteric course in an OBSCURE University. It's still a WORTHY undertaking.

I wan japa

Nice info.

Japa is not eternal solution to any man's problem

If i hear that phrase “secure the children’s future” one more time, i may throw up. I will number my points as i donot have the patience to arrange my paragraphs sequentially.

1. This only becomes a thing when the wife is less successful and have chances of becoming the breadwinner abroad e.g doctors and nurses. The husbands sheepishly throws it all away to start from scratch.

2. There’s no evidence that kids born abroad are more successful.

3. A public university in Nigeria is better than an unknown university abroad. Afterall, it’s our own educational system that empowered the parents to be able to consider japa and land jobs abroad.

4. Kids born abroad are less likely to attend ivy league schools due to the cost. The high paying jobs would be taken by alumnis of ivy league schools and smart immigrants before abroad born kids that attended average unis.

5. The level of civilization abroad would become the baseline for the kids and they would take it for granted. Imagine if Shakespear were to somehow appear in this century. He would marvel at what the world has become. Here we are, we don’t even acknowledge some of the mind blowing inventions we have currently because it’s our baseline. It would be same for kids born abroad.


6. No evidence exists that you can’t get a high flyer job as a Nigerian schooled. For example, an ex PwC in Nigeria can also get a PwC or big 4 job abroad. I know someone who just got a job with Mckinsey in canada and he spend all his years schooling in Nigeria.


7. A dull kid in Nigeria would also be dull abroad. A kid with grace in Nigeria would also operate with same level of grace abroad

8. Japa to secure the future of the kids would place an unfair burden on the children in future. You would definitely hear some parents saying “ After all I sacrificed to bring you here”

9. If you are successfull, there’s high likelihood for your children to be regardless of their location. Afterall, they carry what you carry except you dilute their genes by choosing the wrong woman

Now let's test your logic.
How many Nigerians are playing in NBA? How many wet born abroad and how many grew up in Nigeria.

How many Nigerians are in Hollywood. How many were born abroad and how many wet born here.

How many Nigerians have start up of over 10 million dollars. How many grew up here and how many were born abroad.

Only IT and medicine has created that opportunity whereby immigrants can come in and start earning high paying job automatically.
Other sectors are harder to break for immigrants or entirely closed. Not everybody wants to be doctor or IT expert.

A child who grew up abroad and has his head on his shoulders will be settled b4 he's 30. Has a family, good job, property and investment. This is baseline for every one of them.
This is not dem say but what I've seen and know.

Now how many 30 yrs old can boast of above. The only exception will be Nigerians who left the country early in their 20s, schooled abroad, assimilate into the culture and are actually good.

I think the reason you fail to "have the patience to arrange my paragraphs sequentially" is because you weren't schooled right. If you'd schooled in UK, you'd have learnt that patience by the time you finished primary school, as its part of the learning you'd have received in order to arrange your thoughts.

Just the fact a child wouldn't be taught to pray to god for their daily bread but to earn it by the sweat of their brow is a reason to japa. Though I do confess that well educated parents can teach the same thing to their child in Nigeria, but just being amongst other pupils learning the power of the sweat of their brow is a good thing.

Besides, while your wife works as a nurse, you may have the opportunity to go to school yourself to reskill and improve your lot and that of your family.

As me no kuku get money to Japa....the Japa thing no even dey my mind

A country where thieves write victims letter and still rob successfully. Lol

Thank u so much for lecturing that fool.... If we check well, he might be among those who brought both the present and past Government into power😐

Op, you obviously have limited knowledge on this topic.

10. 65% or more probability that your kids will undergoe a sex change or be initiated into homosexuality at school. Remember, it is legal for them to do this without your consent and you can get imprisoned if you try to interfere. The society will hail them as “brave”

You know you'll send your children abroad if you have the opportunity, don't deceive yourself and ask people how they do it! Stop the fake consolation because you think it's not possible! I had part of my education abroad and part in naija, I'm an educator and very well settled here in Nigeria but I can't ever imagine my children having their university education in Nigeria! It's not because there are no good Schools here but because there are no opportunities, no form of encouragement whatsoever.

Everyone should just do whatever pays them.
I feel like countering your points one by one but it doesn't matter.
But I will give you one.
I finished school in 2014. I never got a job till I left that country in 2021.. that's 7 years.
I haven't completed my education here and already had a job waiting for me...same for me and many other Nigerians here.
You think this is gonna get better when our kids grow up....?
It's your family it's your decision what you want to do with them.
Mind you I can counter each of your points but I don't see the need. Do whatever works for you.

go and tell this to lamine yamal father who is an African immigrant,if not immigration yamal would have been selling orange on streets in Morocco

That phrase "I'm relocating abroad so I can secure the future of my children" is just an excuse people use to justify the voluntary downgrade of their social status when they move abroad

In all this dos and don't,what I feared most for children raised abroad is LGBT things

Secure future means to get them foreign passport so they have dual citizenship and won’t go through the stress of School strike, IElts, looking for visa, doing odd things like getting married to aliens just to secure a green card. They can live and work in developed countries across the world and achieve their dreams easily

The most senseless post I've read in a while. I stopped reading at number 3 . Do you know the mental stress most Nigerian students go through when they go abroad to further their studies? Some go as far as having mental breakdown because of the tedious/strenuous workload in school. While their fellow white students go through same without much fuss because they are used with the system from kindergarten. Nonsense! Comparing Nigerian education system to abroad. When your best pharmacy/medical graduate can not practice or further directly without having to do extra courses or start all over again in some cases.

Please take down this post

I know this is Nairaland but y'all should try to put more effort in the hogwash you feed yourselves here. !

After you people have contributed to the rot that spoilt Nigeria you will start looking for a so-called developed country to run to

Your grandfather complained about Nigeria.

Your father complained about Nigeria.

You're complaining about Nigeria.

You want your kids to continue the trend?

State sponsored post as usual.

God forbid BAT thing

If you're a professional... doctors like many in my family; by all means you can go for a change of scene.

BUT to relocate to go and pack Oyinbo shiit 💩 💩 💩 when you can't clean your aged mother's butt ....

That's the height of stupidity.
