Wow, you just confirm that to some set of people, sense is no longer common. Have a blessed day.

What will happen if all employees outearn the value that they create/add to the bottomline of the company huh

Can you understand how this analogy applies to the miserable crumb of remittances by diasporans to our own economy? How likely is it that their children and other descendants in the diaspora will do remittances to Nigeria?

When did our country shine before?

What were the things that made us shine that time?

Will our country shine again because you simply said it? Or will we shine again because you are working hard to recreate the past conditions that made us shine?

Past conditions like free education for all children, water supply, electricity supply etc.
Hian , you have started again with your hot 🔥 savage response oooooo, Tinubu called me few days ago that he must arrest you and bar you from social media because you don't want him to be reelected with his gang of Alibaba in Abuja..... hahaha 😂

The reason they opened their bothers for student visa. Took all our wiz and pros in tech and health sector, leaving us in ruins.

It's fine

Nigeria will still shine again
Tech Nation Visa is different from student visa. It is called UK Global Talent Visa and I assure you, it's the best visa out there for tech professionals.

A new wave of Nigerian tech talent is quietly transforming the UK start-up scene - from AI to fintech, their impact is beginning to show.

Across the UK's innovative tech hotspots, a new generation of Nigerian tech professionals are shifting the paradigm and reshaping the future of the UK's digital economy, with determination, innovation and community.

With a growing reputation as one of the most successful migrant communities in the world, Nigeria now ranks among the top contributors to the innovation boom in the UK. From leading teams at Wise, Deliveroo, BT Group and Innovate UK to founding cross-border start-ups tackling logistics, climate, and global financial inclusion, Nigerian tech professionals are silently climbing the ranks and curating a new narrative. One that speaks of resilience and technical brilliance.


Several high-profile Nigerian owned companies such as Reach Robotics (Mekamon) have raised over $12m operating in the UK digital space, a clear indicator of the impact of this diaspora community on the economy. According to data from the Home Office, Nigerians ranked among the most successful applicants for the Global Talent Visa, a clear indication of the growing presence of skilled talent from one of Africa's fastest-growing tech ecosystems in the United Kingdom. A similar report from Tech Nation also shows Nigerians as having one of the rising demographics in the UK's tech migration, alongside countries like India and the USA.

Nigeria has a young, tech-savvy population, with a median age of 18 years old. The country ranks among the top contributors to Africa's 700,000 developers, with many structured training programs equipping more with skills in artificial intelligence, cloud, cyber security and more disciplines. This unique blend makes Nigerian talent very attractive in the global talent pool. Combined with high English language proficiency and a strong cultural familiarity with the UK - rooted in historical ties - Nigerians are often well-positioned to integrate quickly and contribute meaningfully in professional environments across the United Kingdom and beyond.

Another key factor that sets this diaspora community apart is how effectively they are able to translate their understanding of their own native technology ecosystem into the reality of living and working in the UK, a fluency that allows them to see what others might miss. And while platforms like LinkedIn may help in sculpting career paths, it follows that optimal connectivity and reliance are enhanced through diaspora communities such as Tech Nation Naija (TN Naija), a fast-growing network of Nigerian tech professionals in the UK digital space. Through peer mentorship, workshops and referrals, this network is quietly bridging the gaps between both ecosystems.

Networks and communities such as these are becoming pipelines for UK technology companies seeking African talent and vice versa. As such, the rise of the Nigerian tech diaspora forces a rethink of global talent. In a world where borders are tightening, these diaspora professionals are showing that innovation thrives on the movement of people, knowledge and opportunity.

For the UK, this presents access to one of the world's youngest and fastest growing tech talent ecosystems and for Nigeria, it presents an opportunity for the perspective of migration to no longer be deemed to be a brain drain but instead to be viewed as a brain gain, as capital and knowledge return to the country through mentorship and its diaspora networks.

As the UK grapples with talent shortages and the need to diversify its tech workforce, the Nigerian diaspora offers a blueprint for not only innovation but also inclusion and integration. This quiet community may not always be at the forefront of the news cycle, but it undoubtedly has its hands on the future of the global tech ecosystem, shaping possibilities and influencing policies across the two countries.

This is insightful and impressive as well in the grand scheme of things.

The Nigerian Diaspora truly rocks within a lot of global ecosystems.

Could you please explain how this will work miraculously for our country to get out of the ugly mess of having the highest number of extreme poverty paupers and children who are not in school?
the b:ritish decided to join an unproductive northern Nigeria that had a deficit balance of payment with the productive southern Nigeria that had and still has and always has a surplus balance of payment in order to use southern Nigeria's wealth to create an illusion that northern Nigeria was doing okay and disguise unproductive nature of northern Nigeria.

there can never be a better Nigeria because Nigeria consists of different countries within it.. so the whole of Nigeria cannot suddenly become progressive at the same time, some states will always be more productive and developed than other states especially in a country where some politicians believe education is a sin and crime..

as long as northern Nigeria exists there will always be extreme poverty and out of school children because they have always been in poverty.. the allocations that go to northern Nigerian are actually meant for southern Nigeria states but the money southern Nigeria makes is so much that it can fund 19 states in Nigeria.

even Gowon said the money was too much and they did not know what to do with it.

in your family, do your siblings earn the same amount as salary as you. are you all living in mansions?

before you talk about Nigeria been poor just remember that one side of Nigeria called northern Nigeria has always been poor..

Lazy people blame their tools instead of working on their goals.

Did Indians stay together with Pakistanis at independence 13 years ahead of us?

Did Bangladeshis not fight for independence from Pakistanis a year after our civil war ended?

What of Singaporeans who separated themselves from Malaysia five years after our independence?

If and when we are ready to go our separate ways, we will ALL work for it. Until then we should stop complaining and flourish with the entity left behind by the British. That is how Qataris and Emiratis are doing since 1971.

This has nothing to do with emiratis, qataris e.t.c.

the people that are out of school and extremely poor in Nigeria are in northern Nigeria and they are out of school because to their politicians and parents education is a sin and a crime... they are poor because the northern region they live in and are from has always been poor and has deficit balance of payment... they are suffering from generational poverty that can never be solved...

You said Nigeria has highest number of out of school children and extreme paupers and I answered you but you are talking about qatar and emiratis then that means the discussion is beyond your intellectual capacity

I was glad with open hearts and ears. reading everything like I was listening to it. It read well.

And yeah Nigeria will shine again because it had once felt the rays of the sun before.

For a reset button to be it means it has set before.

Nigeria is just under mismanaged hands that can still fail into the hands of the nobles.

Thank you once again
