yewit37486:
So why haven't you moved back home? Just curious given the fact you are in favour of moving back.

I live mostly in Nigeria but I still have kids and other family members in the US hence I go back and forth.
After living 70 percent of my life in the US, it ain't easy to not go back from time to time. I have spent more time of my life in the US than Nigeria. But now, i spend more time in Nigeria.

Tayorshd87:
if this man is in Nigeria u would have heard something like the government is bad they can't take care of the poor man with stroke this and that ...

For over 38years in the UK yet this man still failed in life because he has no relatives left in Nigeria because he use not productive...

Everything no be Nigeria sometimes fate of being poor to a man will still be poor even if taken to America for free 😁

You are on another thread bro. Change your supplier.

Okay, makes sense.

Someone entrusted to make the call was harsh but the system was alive for him.

A system that works yet at the age of 63 he jumps from house to house sleeping on friends' sofas?

If he were in Nigeria he would have built his own house by now no matter how small and he would have relatives he can rely on

If Nigeria was good , he would have self deported . Do you know Syrians living in Europe have all self deported after the fall of Bashar Assad?

You are very correct, after 40 years still nothing for him to show
Seems the system is on the long run working against him

do you own a house in the US?

when i look at his picture, all i see is a broken man. No Family, maybe no friend both home and away, no property to call his own. A wasted 40 years in a foreign land.
I thought Nigeria was better in his time, I thought the reason people are moving is because of the hardship, failed system and insecurity. what was his reason?
I can only feel sorry for him and perhaps learn few lessons from his mistakes

A system that works indeed. he just won a court appeal after spending more than 4 decades with nothing to show for. for over 4 decades he couldn't work out anything for himself both home and away.
i wonder which life he said began.

kingsavage:

I bought my first house in the US in 1994.
I still own a house that I bought in 1998. I have houses in Nigeria and all I need hence it's always easy to.look forward to coming home. I can come to Nigeria with just little money and chill for weeks. I have set myself up pretty well.

PigTormentor:
How can you self deport when you don't have anything back home?
Most of the people who talk bad about Nigeria in this diaspora are usually people who don't have nothing to fall back on in Nigeria. I have lived for as long as this guy in diaspora but in the last 20 years, I have been living in both Nigeria and diaspora.
I can easily live in Nigeria happily and comfortably.
My friends who refused to come home cannot and are always wishing bad news on Nigeria just to justify their reasons for not coming back home.
Most are miserable and sometimes will admit that they messed up.
I.love going home, I'm always at peace and in the best state of mind whenever I'm back home.
In fact, i have the same euphoria whenever I'm going home as I did when I first migrated to the US in the 80s. The excitement is comparable to a kid in a candy store.

True

Nawa...this Japa thing!

travelling or Japa isn't a guarantee that one will be rich! Many of them are wasting in Western countries ....I know one that was my age mate...till now no job , no car , no family, no kids he is 50yrs and he is in UK

Shame no let the guy come back and he is Igbo

Guyman02:
Stop lying in public, Syrians are not rushing back to meet those US backed jihadists killing Christians and Alawite Muslims

Stop saying what you have no knowledge about, the jihadist might have seized the control of Syria country backed by US.
But they didn't kill any one because of religion affiliation.

yemmit90:
The most painful part of this story is the fact that he wasted active part of his life in chasing citizenship in a foreign land.

There were still many opportunities in Nigeria 38 years ago, who knows he might have make it big in his father land. Though he acted smartly now, because at his age, it is much more better for him to remain in UK and enjoy all the benefits from their government.

even if he was crying akara consistently this 38 yrs here in Nigeria he would have used it to
Build house
Marry
Train kids in school
Watch the kids graduate and marry


Japa will useless many people especially Europe... Many are like this ! What about the Yoruba man that was killed by a youth in USA just earlier this year at the age of 73

He was driving Uber at 73 yrs ,no wife, no family ...he was still hutsling in USA at 73 yrs plus ....


It's such a shame

Yes, that is why it is good to go their legality.

People that have work/resident permit don't face this kind of issue. They work, make money and come back home to build family or build it over there.

if you are comfortable in Nigeria, there is no need to japa. But many will not agree

bro. ..leave story you don't but house in USA you pay mortgage and even after full payment after decades you don't own the house ...you continue paying property tax ...failure to do that ...it's foreclosures

Whether I paid cash or took out a mortgage, I'm still considered as the owner as long as my mortgage payment is paid on time. Yes I started paying mortgage in 1994 and then bought another in 1998. I have just about paid off the thr 1998 property.
The mortgage system has its advantages and disadvantages. You will pay forever but you can consider it a savings since you will have built up some equity over the years.
My biggest problem with properties in the US is the property tax. They are going up exponentially now, it has gotten out of hand.
You have to worry about mortgage payments, HOA and then property tax.

You are getting taxed to the max with every trick in the book.

You still don't own the house cos you still pay property tax or you loose it ...deal with this fact


If you don’t pay your property taxes in the U.S., the county can eventually take your house. That’s because unpaid taxes become a lien, and local governments have the legal right to collect through a tax sale or foreclosure. It’s not instant — there are notices and usually a chance to pay what you owe — but if you ignore it long enough, you can lose your home. Bottom line: property taxes fund schools, roads, and services, so the law gives them top priority.

Actually in the USA you don't actually own a home ! Trust me you pay for the home till the person enters 6 feet
