I personally know of a man that sent his 2 son's to study abroad and after there graduation, they returned briefly and went back and have refused to return back again to manage their father's businesses and properties! It is over 10 years now, both married to foreigners and they are now telling their father to give out his properties to charities as they don't need them, his only sons o.
Ahahaha

You actually expect them to return when you misfits have destroyed the country?
Do Nigerian even remember that $10,000 was N1.5m just 2014 before Tinubu brought apc and buhari to power?
Do Nigerians remember just 2 years ago tinubu took over from buhari $10,000 was N7m in black market, PTA from cbn was N4.6m for $10k.
Today emilokan has taken over it is now N16.5m for what use to be 1.5m under Jonathan's time!
What right thinking student or civil servant will return to the country when sent abroad?
Other countries will see crude price increase and it will improve their standards, they will remove subsidy it will improve their currency, for us nothing nothing. Only one family is getting richer while trying to turn Nigerians into beggers that will come to their gate every morning, then they will share them 1k with rice and tomatoes.

What do you expect when all the young minds see and feel is utter hopelessness hence don't see any future prospect in their own country as a result of bad and corrupt leadership? Meanwhile;
Why should they go on government funded scholarship? They are guilty of what you are complaining here. You stole government money and gave undertaking but never kept to it. After Nigeria trained you with public fund you ran away and stayed in foreign land and kept adding value to their economy. Is it not the same as a politician that stole public money and used it to buy choice properties in Dubai?

But I returned which I thought at d time to be a good decision but right now d Nigeria factor is making me look like I should have had a rethink.
I think I'm one of the few patriotic Nigerians alive. But seems Nigeria is trying to make me feel I may have taken d wrong decision.

Why would they return??

Return kwa😂😂😂
Because it's on government funded scholarships, citizens tax payment....and bond is signed to return after completion....so if you don't want to return then don't apply for government sponsored scholarships...go on your own, nobody cares if you return or not ..it's your fuc**g business 😔

Minister should tell us how many among the children of politicians return permanently after their parents have use public funds to relocate them abroad?

These guys thought they are the only ones that are smart enough to know that the country is not promising.
Omo, funny enough, and this would sound unbelievably to most of you reading this, but many of the kids of our elite politicians, ex and current ones, have all returned to Nigeria after university graduation. I know many ex governor's sons and daughters of senators who are all stuck in Abuja with no tangible innovation or groundbreaking inventions even after the millions of naira tuition fees spent on them from Oxford to Cambridge to Havard to Brunel to Syracuse University to University of Manchester, and so on. Nothing doing. They just fixed them in one agency or parastatal and they go to the office sometimes.

It's most times the less affluent kids that studied abroad who often try to not return back to Nigeria, since they know their parents haven't kept fat bank accounts for them and juicy federal government Jobs.

For example, Senator Natasha Uduagan's son came back after grad from the UK, and he just finished his nysc not so long ago. I know this because we are friends and childhood neighbours for that matter.

Good to share this. I believe your argument. But you also believed that those that returned do so because they believe they have something to return to. Most of them have foreign citizenship already (arranged by their parents) expect for very few.

Yes, I also agree with your angle of viewing the matter. Your view is valid, too.
