■ Because big companies are packing up, you think everyone is suffering? Anyways when you have a chicken mind you will always think like one.
■ This same economy is favourable to some people. Secondly, you think I have not planned out one for myself? Even if the economy returns to Johnathans regime, and you fail to make proper plan and run back to Nigeria, my brother you would have still suffered.
Some of you are just plain wicked! It didn't occur to you before this that when big companies packup, the small companies that make up their contractor base and all those who work for them are equally likely to suffer. Just one big company packing up may mean almost 1000 smaller companies may also pack up. That is employment to many 1000s of people we are talking of. But I guess, the average Nigerian does not care about these things particularly when it does not directly affect them in the way they see it. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

2. It is always favorable to some people, so suffering and smiling have become a national pastime. An entire nation of over 200 million black people rolling around in what many in the rest of the world would never again allow themselves to experience but people like you think it a thing of pride to condone and even pass it on to the next generation as their lot. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 🙄🙄🙄🙄

■ Mother passed away, and a cousin stole her house. This is a person we took care off from birth, as his mother, my Auntie, died from child birth. My mother bought that house and let him live there rent free for decades. He was literally waiting for her to die. I decided not to prosecute him because it's cheaper to cut him off financially. The house wasn't worth that much. He's now crying as the money is finished. Begging for forgiveness. I have blocked and disowned every family member in that zoo of a country. Every single asset is being sold off as i'm completing my divorce from that country and its people.
■ My good friend who's based in the UK, and her brothers are based in Canada & US, decided to hire domestic help, as their momsy is still based in naija. All make good money in pounds and dollars. They hired a driver. Paid him 150k naira per month. Paid his daughters school fees. They'd give him food to go home with every night. Enough food for his wife and daughter. This man decided to defraud them of 300k naira. 2 months worth of salary. They sacked him and he cameback crying as he's now jobless and looking hungary. He's been banned from the estate by the security. He even attempted to fight the new driver.
■ You see, the typical Nigerian in Nigeria is a thief and bafoon. Anybody without serious Dangote like connections who decides to invest within that jungle called Nigeria is a fool. Point blank. If your employees don't steal from you, your family members will. The people are no different from the politicians. Incompetent thiefs.
When examining the people, you begin to understand why the entire nation is where it is today. A trap and weapon fashioned against anyone who thinks they can go on and make it great again without directing the fight against the people's general mentality as a whole. undecided

You are spot on my brother! I wish i can like your comment a hundred times. See, i have been following developments in Nigeria ever since i knew how to read. When i was still in Jss1 many years ago, while going to school, I used to stop at newspaper stands to read the head lines. I make sure that i look up all the major newspapers' story headlines before i continue on my way to school. As young as i was then, i usually leave that stand with sadness because there was NEVER a day you will see ONE good news on the the papers. Never! All through my schooling years till i graduated, i came to ONE realization.


Nigeria will NEVER function or get better. Go and look at the complains since the 70s, 80s and 90s. They are still the EXACT same thing Nigeria is battling till today 3 day of August 2024.
All the things you mentioned have been in the same state since. No single improvement in any area. Mehnn when i finished my university education, i decided already, even before that time, that i will never go for NYSC. Instead i started early to look for a way of survival for myself. The drive and Passion in me to escape that HELLFIRE called a country Nigeria, made me to work hard and find my way outside the borders of Nigeria, though still in Africa. But you know what, this is the beat decision i took for my life.

In this small country that i am there is 247 electricity, there is sanity everywhere i look around. Have never seen anybody fighting in the street. You can move around at any time of the night even sleep on the road side and wake up with your phones and money intact. I have never heard the sound of sirens here. Only emergency ambulances uses sirens. Have never heard any gunshot. My brother you need to see the quality of roads and how they build it carefully and neatly despite not being a rich country. High tension wires are armored cables so there is no news of high tension wire falling on anybody. There is pipe borne water 247 with meters.

It is here i saw a functional water reservoir supplying portable water to houses. In Nigeria it is always on election posters you will see them write "Supply portable water" as their agenda but they never make it work or function. Even the little work i do here pays me better than those cashiers working in a bank in Nigeria. Meanwhile my mates in Nigeria still fo not have work to do after many years of graduation. Mehnnn... Nigeria is a dead country! Only a m*d person will return to that place to live.

Seems you haven't seen a contractor buy the parent company?
Business management differs.

So you feel if she'll folds today everybody who works for shell will suffer?

A lot are even making more than they make from shell, but still remain in shell it's called diversification.
A lot of doctors I know make more money from their private clinic but still work for a general hospital, and you think if general hospital folds they will suffer?


Anyways the whole idea is anybody who has lived and worked abroad for years is not supposed to come back here and start job hunting. Creat a job and employ other people.

Exception of students abroad

A strong point here. The majority of those who intend to return to Nigeria should become employers, rather than employees.

I think my wife needs to read this because she has some interesting hope in Nigeria which sometimes, I don't understand.

OP, as two posters have rightly pointed out, if you desire to relocate to Nigeria please ensure that you have acquired citizenship of the country that you currently residing. I cannot emphasize on this issue. Many Nigerians who moved back to Nigeria without acquiring a second passport ended up regretting it in the long run. I have been back in Nigeria for over a decade after 13 years abroad but I ensured that I secured my papers before moving back.

Secondly, in this present economy, if you aren't earning in forex don't try it. Nigeria is not for the faint-hearted. The cost of living has quadrupled due to the devaluation of the naira. Even 600k salary is not much in today's Nigeria. Think well. Nigeria isn't going to get better.
