But it is quite surprising that some are itching to japa while others are planning to return.

Human needs are insatiable.
I don't really plan to return to Nigeria. I was in that country recently and I almost cried.

I would rather learn Portuguese and relocate to Brazil or find countries like ivory coast and start life there later when I am done here

All these alternative countries people are calling sha, make anybody wey won go there learn the official language.

E get why. I don talk my own
Irrespective of the country you are going, you don't need anyone to tell you to have basic knowledge of the language. Basic not comprehensive.

Wow!

Wetin happen? Please, what did you see and experience? Did you spot any business opportunities? Because I am all for utilising one's abroad experience, finances and exposure to harnessing the opportunities in Nigeria. Lastly, where and where did you go to in Nigeria?

I saw hopelessness, exhaustion, poverty and hunger. Although the experience was a bit different in Major cities (affluent neighbourhoods).

I was in Lagos, PHC and Abia

As for business, you can only invest in what's in high demand (i.e. what Nigerians can't do without: food, clothing, energy, communication and so on). It's capital intensive though so if you have cash, and you are ready to be on ground to dedicate your time and energy fully to the business, you are good to go.

lots of theft is going on in most companies. Majority are conscience blind.

Thanks for your perspective.

Just that at the bolded, every business started from scratch, and no new enterprise is built in absentia.

Thanks so much for your input .
Believe me 12 million does not have any value when it comes to investing in Nigeria, why do you think most SMEs' are closing up? , imagine buying base oil/PMS /AGO/DPK worth 12 million and not being above to make 4% ROI.
Please what global skills are you referring to? Is it related to the concept of Analysis, Collaboration, Communication, Evaluation, Reflection and Research?.
