You are spot on about Nigeria and we share similar mindset. I see jobs everywhere but Nigerians don't see them as jobs. Examples abound including those hardworking youths in malls, hotels, lounges, farms, airports, telecoms outlets, cash transfer etc. Many of them have landed great life changing opportunities just by being visible while working those low pay customer-facing jobs. |

Nigeria is a geographical expression. The masses may have little 'misplaced' patriotism but the leaders do not have minutest patriotism. They only come to steal and devour. Nigeria you left malnourished you have come back to meet in carcass. This place is bleeding. There is no remedy. People can only try because the vampires of Nigeria would always fight to maintain the status quo. 7 Likes 1 Share |

"No place like home" may be true for some but many misunderstand what "home" is. Home is your base where you live your life. You live in New York, make your money in New York, have your immediate family in New York and you are shouting "no place like home" with reference to Nigeria, then you are confused. New York is your home, Nigeria is a vacation spot with greater attachment as your root. For others like me, "No place like home" is meaningless. I love traveling and adventure, and while my home is comfortable, I prefer to be on the road. So for me, it's "no place like vacation spots" including Nigeria PJtech: 1 Like |

That Airport is terrible. When travelling out of Nigeria, you will see 4 sets of different officials ; customs, NDLEA, health, representing different organisations. Most are just there to look over your travel document, ask stupid questions and the request « something ». Other airports want you to go through Customs checking fast, Nigerian airports want to delay you. 4 Likes |

Can you imagine? Someone came to his ancestral homeland on vacation to rest after months of hustle and should now spend the bulk of his vacation budget on family support? What sort of mindset is that? So his own destiny is like that of a machine to just work to support others and die slowly? oliverwrites: 11 Likes |

[quote author=CollinsAsein post=132741225][/quote]Just imagine if you were raised in Ikoyi and all you have to travel within Nigeria was to move from airport to Ikoyi and your friends and family are equally very successful. This could be the story of your children and grandchildren if you can work towards it today. The reality is that not all Nigerians get back home and go back full of lamentations  1 Like |

Shikena:That's true to some extent, "Home" is a place where you have your family and make a living there. If you also have your extended family in Nigeria, that means Nigeria is your First home Meanwhile pls sir I'll appreciate 1k or 2k from you to buy food today... I'm really famished Thank you 1 Like |
