Blame your greed and overnight success expectations for a change, not the sorry character of the three Presidential candidates you preferred and voted for.

Many people make good points here; why we fail to see opportunities at home because the blame is ours. Those Indians and Chinese start from very little just like Nigerians that succeed abroad.

Some here are making the lame excuses Black Americans make about Nigerians and other foreigners in America. Easy loans, discrimination and lack of access to markets. Somebody here put it right. Where Nigerians at home complain of lack of opportunities, foreigners are willing to turn obstacles into opportunities, into markets, into one man business to many people's businesses.

What machine, technology or capital do you need needs to turn INDOMI and eggs into national basic food, replacing our tastes?

The amount of millions in naira people come on social media asking where they can japa to, Indians and other Asians use less to establish in Nigeria. They start by living on top of one another. This is how successful Nigerians start abroad but would never live that way in Nigeria. While Black Americans want to start and live big like Nigerians at home.

It is not only Indians, Koreans and Chinese that are making it in Nigeria, most other African do and are thrilled to get Nigerian VISA!

You left out the part about how we can replace jollof with rice. But sha, nice write up.

You're talking rubbish... Get your fact correct before you come here and talk rubbish

The earlier we start taking responsibilities for our actions and inactions, the better for us as a country

I SORRY FOR WHO NOR SORRY FOR HIMSELF INSIDE NIGERIA!!!!

A CLEARLY SINKING SHIP THAT INDIANS , CHINESE AND CO ARE SMARTLY CASHING OUT FROM WHILE QUIETLY JUMPING THE SHIP BEFORE IT FINALLY SUBMERGES.

There are opportunities everywhere. The choice is yours to take it or leave it.

Please do not get me started on how jollof rice become regular dish. Even rice was on special days.

Two or three graduates started garbage collection business in Lagos before they had to hire more people. Imagine what their friends and may be parents thought when they started. By the time they became big, more people went into it.

The journey to success is not a straight path. It is filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and often takes time. It's not a crime to aspire for better opportunities abroad but it's important to appreciate and leverage the opportunities at home too.

Is it not ironic that the same Nigerians willing to start from scratch even in small countries in Africa until they become rich and attract the attention of neighbors, as in Ghana or Cape Verde, cry for enabling environment at home.

Put most Nigerians in a bush around the world, they would turn it into business.

The first time someone said if there is a Nigerian anywhere, there is a way. I could not believe it. In a foreign country O!

I like the way you reason. Japadollars beneficiaries are out here making sense.

Nigerians are the best people in the world. I have seen countless stories of Nigerians making it big while living in Nigeria. The same can be said for those abroad.

So what is the problem? I think it is a mindset issue.
