To be frank, don't blame those leaving Nigeria. It is possible you will remain there for next 10 years without being able to build a beffiting house for yourself and family or being able to sponsor your children to abroad/local good schools for better education while those ones that are moving abroad will achieve those things within next 10 years. It is a personal choice.

I have 5 persons from my town who left for the UK after graduation and have stayed for 15yrs but have not achieved all u stated. Life is not easy anywhere.

[quote author=xxgig post=132436351]Abeg hook me up with the job
I am from the south. The guy will disappear after making mouth about his uncle giving jobs to thousands of people

Less competition for you,if appointment comes using the federal character principle.

Most northern are contended and know how to manage. The average southern don't want to manage/endure.

I spent a year plus in the North. When banditry and terrorism reduces, I will visit the North again.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this article is based on my personal experience.

I work with a High profile federal government parastatal with good remuneration.

We were 100 that was employed in 2013 drawing from South and North.
We have been promoted 3 times and expecting another promotion.

But something is disturbing me as a Southerner from South East.
About 25 persons from my set have resigned and relocated abroad. Only 2 are still in Nigeria.

It is more shocking that this 25 persons are all from the South. Either South West or South East or South South.

My fear is the implications when our set will get to the pick.
No northerner had resigned or thinking of resigning as at today.

The future implications is that they will occupy majority of the apex positions in this parastatal and the south will start shouting marginalization and why all top directors are from the north.

The last meeting I had at the NNPCL Head quarter's Abuja saw 99% of Top Management Staff from the north.

During The introduction of members I was shaking my head. This bring me to ask, could this issue I am experiencing in my own organization be the same in NNPCL?

Currently a Lady I know in NNPCL resigned and moved to Canada. You already know the future implications to the South when her set will get to the top.

Why are Southerners relocating and leaving their beautiful jobs why the northerners are comfortably enjoying the same work.

Is this greed on the south or that our problems are too much?

I taunt my friend from sokoto some days ago why he doesn't want to japa, he laughed and answered me, to do what over there?

Why are the southerners the only people who sees reasons to japa?
Knowing that we can not live past 100 yrs and we can not go anywhere with all this wealth.

Remember the higher a southerner become a director, the higher the chance of Southerners getting employment in this organizations.

If you work with a good federal government agency share your thoughts.

Are you experiencing the same in your organization?

Dalavin:
Oga, Well they say Landlord travel and see!!!!
There must be something that is making them to have such mind to move irrespective of their position in that establishment. You are thinking about your self all alone. they are thinking about their kids and future generations where things work without knowing someone to fix you up in an establishment. So when you get to directorship what happens?? Well na when your day break na eim be your morning. Dont bother about them 10yrs from now try check on them, then you will know why this relocation.

All the best !!!!

Well there has been many who send their children to USA, UK and Canada and end up loosing them through drugs, random shooting and gay and transgender. Is this the future they want to secure for their kid's?
One of my Boss son abandoned school in UK and get into drugs. He is serving jail term in UK prison.
Another one came back without a certificate after their parents spent all their savings.
Remind me what you said about securing the future of their kids again?

It's a sign that all is well in Nigeria

The day the contraption finally comes to end, people would be surprised what the would see in the Nations that will emerge from the south within 5years due to healthy competition & strive for excellence propelled by the ability which western Education confers

Then, this Japa syndrome in the South will begin to reverse with Speed; people not desiring to leave again while those already abroad will begin to come back home to invest their wealth

Adversely, the Northern countries will struggle to progress because they love mediocrity & lack a competitive spirit. The Japa spirit will then relocate to the North & pitch it's tent in the core North & then shall the helpless citizens begin to move in droves to Neighbouing Muslim Nations, while the rich amongst them begins to move to North Africa & the Middle East

The Key to this freedom for the South is in the hands of Yorubas who unfortunately seems to be scared of having their own country despite their immense potentials to thrive in prosperity under a country of their own

The cost of living in the South is high and harsh, while life is generally good in the North, save for Kidnapping.

I've worked for 8yrs in different states in the North and while there, the thought of japa beer crossed my mind. Enjoyment yapa for there.

Just 2yrs of working in Lagos which is the longest I've ever worked in the South has seen me opening several internet pages, planning to japa.

You no go just fit stay for South without the thought of japa filtering into your mind, when you see people returning from abroad for holidays with expensive goodies and you're left gawking.

Hahahahaha. But don't you think that we the southerners are the cause?
If we live within our means, we will not be under this pressure.
I try to live within my means and I am very much okay and free. I help people where my power reach but I failed to be pressured.

When your set gets to the pick or peak?

Quoter system aplies when appointing director in any govt establishment. Moreover, the north knows how to make there own the head when the time comes, just like Buhari appointed northerners ignoring quoter system or qualifications

You are wrong bro. My uncle gave over 2,000 southerners Job during his time because he got to the top. I am a beneficiary.
Another of his beneficiary was just appointed permanent secretary recently.
He has started giving southerners Job too.
The problem is us not the northerners.
Imagine having 30 people climb up the ladder and 7 of them are Southerners, it will still be good because 7 southerners will get Job but if among the 30 no southerner, the FG can not appoint a junior southerner when there are seniors from the north. Never.
Let me tell you.
My uncle gave people Job in many government agencies and parastatals. Some are DPOs, Controllers both in immigration and customs, some are Captains in Army, navy and Air Force. They are climbing with their set, if they remain till their pick, one of them must join the top ladder because federal character is still being used where you have personnel across the geopolitical regions.
Greed is stopping us from taking what belongs to us.

Pls bro, I beg you in the name of almighty God help me with a job. I've been in Abuja looking for one of those jobs for years nothing have come out of it yet. All my documents are still with the federal civil service and no one has help out yet. Pls help me

Sotherners are not interested in the job as a career, but money and comfort. They use the current high paying jobs as a stepping stone to the next in the West (Europe, America or Canada)..

tctrills:
Oga, what is the salary of a director in the federal government? How many years does it take to climb to that position?
Again how do you define greed? If leaving your country for greener pastures is your definition of greed then you need prayers.

Greed is the strong selfish desire for possessions, wealth, or power.
A desire to eat more food than is necessary.
Based on the definitions above, if you are comfortable to have all the basic life amenities such as, house, cars, Good Jobs, good family and investment etc and you abandon all these or sold your property to japa for the sake of dollars and pounds, you are greedy.

musicwriter:
You've made a good observation.

This could actually be the reason why there are more Northeners in top government offices. I know a customs officer (well remunerated) from the South that resigned from his job and traveled abroad.

Our best brains are not in Nigeria. I've long noticed that one

Gbam

They dispose off their properties to engage in menial jobs abroad, they make money, and next is to think about building houses back in Nigeria. Most of them don't want Nigeria to be better, they are often sad whenever the Naira appreciated against other foreign currencies.

sharpwriter:
Bàbá, na true you dey talk.... An average southerner is infected with the abroad greener pasture syndrome, our blind idea of life elsewhere in any colonial masters land is that the place is paradise and nothing of our own is nice for human beings to thrive on. The I better pass my neighbor syndrome is too strong here and makes an average southern Nigerian greedy, even if God has settled him with all the goodies of life, it's still not enough, eventually some loses their life earnings because of this when they do not appreciate what God has done for them.

Sir abeg, if I can find favor with you sir, I really need your connection to those jobs which people do not appreciate o. I will appreciate your link sir.

samwash:
@Op, God bless you for this narrative, this what I was discussing with a friend few days back.
This issue cut across every government sectors, from the police, army,just name it you least see a Southerners in top positions, even in entry level, they don't do pass ten years, they are off to seek for greener pastures aboard.

We dash them let them. Run it.. When they are ready for progress they know what to do

Greed and discontentment.

E go shock you say some of them no resign.

Some are able to remain as ghost workers and continue to receive salaries from their naira account

I do not agree totally with you sir/ madam.

Why wait for the contraption to end ? You know states in regions can collaborate in projects for interstate economic growth, but the lack of continuity agenda will truncate the project.

When it comes to responsibility everyone blames the FG, when it comes to sharing judicious use of FAAC, everyone is quiet about the mismanagement of allocations and revenue generation. Nothing stops the states (north or south) to start the competition with what they have. Prior to Democracy, everyone blamed the military govt.

Nothing stops state governments from judicious appropriation of infrastructural development programs (roads, rail, etc same goes for the LG), Nothing stops the government from investing in agricultural hubs or agricultural companies, oil and gas companies publicly listed in the country and abroad through state wealth fund for annual revenue generation.

NO doubt, there is improvement inn certain sectors and states, but we still have a long way to go.

Mr Poster, your epistle while attempting to address an issue sounds more like a contracted beggar's lame effort to play on the emotion of south using the dichotomy that exists.
I don't know how old you are but let Me start by asking you if all those employed by the organization where you work are all employed based on merit north and south. Where all employed based on merit?

See my dear, a structure built on quota is built on a faulty foundation. No where on earth where people want good results or returns on investment is such philosophy ever contemplated talkless of making it a national benchmark in civil administration.

Nigeria does not, I repeat, does not want proper structure that makes for growth and development in all its spheres. It is a pity it is like that but that is the sad truth.

How many sacks of naira can give you a night of peace of mind? No roaring, humming or singing generators. No giant mosquitoes. No police threatening to kill you over nothing. No kidnappers or ritualists.

What is obvious from the quality of your grammar is that either u know u have no hope of passing IELTS or u have attempted it several times with no success and now you resorted to blackmailing other Nigerians to stay with u in the economically sinking ship, Nigeria.

We all want different things in life, your life goal may be to be head of Nigerian civil service.

Without reading your comments, seeing that new slave trade requirement IELTS I have concluded that you are a slave.
Does Chinese and Indians write this exam Ewu?
Despite the fact that British colonize you and still colonizing you, are you not ashamed that after writing English as a compulsory subject by the British, they still subject you to this useless exam called IELTS?
Your comment is one of the dumbest

MrRemedyAlagbo:
I know corruption is not tribal or religion based,but people from the North are more contended than us in the South,wether you like it or not ,and they're more politically smart,and have foresight.

Southerners are more about what they about to gain now,God help those who help themselves,we can do better.

Thank you brother for saying the truth

Ate247:
The southerner are leaving because this so called Northern and southern rubbish need to stop. Position shouldn't be selective. It should be based on who's qualified for it. The country Nigeria can't work. When the country is finally separated the southerner will come back and develop this region. Monkey no fit work and baboon dey chop. This rubbish need to stop.

I don't agree with this your assertion. Na we in the south be our problem.

Read my post again Sir. I said I have build houses , I have cars, I have land's, my kid's are attending one of the best school in the town.
I have set up family members, I have few people under my small scholarship both from secondary to university.

Don't mention security because USA is not save, Canada and UK are not save.
Meanwhile none of this develop countries can guarantee you long life and prosperity none.

What even bothers me more is that majority of them that japa don't have a career Job in abroad.
We have seen a lot of them telling us the mistakes they made.

Which greed are you talking about. To Japa isn't just about now, some people Japan to raise their children in a serene environment. Everyone must not be in civil service. You can help those who wants to stay . There are so many of them.
