That man will definitely be kidnapped if he comes back to Nigeria as per freshness and the tag of US returnee with dollars unless he is ready to walk around with at least two armed to the teeth body guard which is not possible for him.
Whether he will return alive from the kidnappers den is another topic
but they are people who go to the U.S like every two months,and still come back to Nigeria ... If you have money you don't have problem in Nigeria , just live a normal life..

My boss travels to the UK every market day, he travels to US and Canada at least three times every year. He stays in Nigeria but can he walk around freely in the streets nope, he has atleast three police attachments.
Some Nigerians frequent abroad but they walk around with protection in Nigeria

hmmm anyway that is your boss, he choose to be walking around with armed men ... Except you have an existing threat to life, I don't think all that is necessary ....I don't think Zukerberg walked with armed men when he came to Nigeria ...

And funny enough someone people would have seen him as a father and always seek his knowledge in their decision makings... Even go to him for confessions. Zero practicality of what he preaches.

Seen America has heaven and thinks there were not worst suffering beings in America... Why there some people living heaven on earth in Nigeria. This father flopped big time if the narrative is correct.

He was there on assignment with duration, he wasn't meant to stay there forever. This is how the average Nigerian blocks the way of progress for others. When you're sent to serve as a priest at a location, another is sent to take your place when the posting duration is done. If he actually committed suicide based on this, then he'll have a lot of explaining to do to his God😎

What a country! That its citizen would prefer to die in a foreign country than return to it, indeed a shithole that someone needs to come and sanitize

Won't change anything.

Your country is the way it is because you guys insist on having public services at knock down prices.

This prevents investment in said services, meaning they are inefficent, meaning that at the end things like massive industrialization are not possible. Also, debt results from keeping prices of such ultiites low

That means a large population of unemployed youth,some of whom take to crime.

Also, most of us do not pay tax. (Yes, the kids will now mock me). No tax, no money to modernize the police, pay for forensic labs, pay for better detention facilites, pay even for state run reformation centers, pay for better education facilites, and so forth

Result, maladjusted youth...more crime

Then at the end of the day, you all prefer imported stuff. More imports, less local production, no jobs...see the pattern.

And then you defend your corrupt politicans, meaning disgruntled people, meaning the next set of currpt ppoltiicans then present themselves as the good guys and then take over from where the others were chopping, while people support one side or the other because...government to them is about breads from the table.

Result...shitty economy.

All adds up.
Bruh...

The priest is mentally unbalanced, what set of people are enjoying most in nigeria if not priests,they don't have the drama and emotional baggage of marriage to frustrate them,they have a wide pool of choir girls ,ushers ,rev sisters and CWO women to select from and nothing to worry about food,rent,car, infact all bills,he will even enjoy more in nigeria as a priest.he is totally nuts

The priest might have developed panic attacks due to being posted in the region where ESN and IPOB are know to target catholic clergy.
This is the came situation among catholic clergy in Lagos also when they are being posted to east.

RIP father.

So why are you still alive?
Re: Rev. Benjamin Okwy Madu Dies By Suicide After Being Ordered To Leave The US by dipsx(m): 6:52pm On Jul 15
Certainly one of those who didn't practice what they preached.
Too sad to hear a Catholic priest commits suicide over such trivial matter.

All adds up.
On the surface this looks like a bootstrap problem where your argument is circular: pay for services to enjoy them, but the people don't have the means to pay for the services to enjoy and pay for....ad infinitum.

The reality is, the government invests first in the infrastructure and services which create employment and entrepreneurial opportunities so people have the money to continue paying for the initial services, with these payments judiciously used to improve said services, etc.

However, we've a situation where the commonwealth is plundered by political brigands and rent seekers, and even the little paid as taxes disappears into the very opacity of government malfeasance.

If the above holds true, the consequent disillusionment breeds the exact kind of society you deplore where people don't want to pay for services and crime goes up.

So let's go back to first principles: let the government make the necessary investment in security, energy, infrastructure, social services, and the prerequisite environment necessary for equity, capital, and entrepreneurship to flow. That's what China did.

Unfortunately, our political system is designed to trickle down not wealth or social benefits, but crumbs and morsels from the obscene orgy going on above the socio-political ladder.

Before you ask me to pull my weight, explain to me transparently why the 11th largest oil producer is one of the poorest, explain to me where the subsidy savings are going, why every politician and appointee is wealthy beyond any reasonable and justifiable sense.

When this conversation happens, Nigerians may yet be convinced to partake in genuine nation building, instead of propping up the kleptocratic bourgeoisie like Atlas under a scorching sun

nairalanda1:
Revenue from oil and other resources at the moment can't reach 200 billion dollars. We need something close to about 600-800 billion dollars or more annually before we can live the life we want to live.

Also, again, we do not set the prices.

Note that I don't always say tax, I also say that we should , I repeat, we should, become an industrial nation, because if we use our resources to make exportable goods and services, we can control the price of what we sell, which would make us rich.

It's that simple.

Oil right now, even without corruption, cannot fund our economy adequately

NOTE THAT I DID NOT SAY CORRUPTION NO DEY. But it takes time to recover stolen money, and we need things right now.

Taxes, or we borrow and borrow , and borrow.


By everyone, not by the rich. We've tried the rich people pay more method for electricity. It's not working because the revenue is not enough to ofsett losses from the bands where people pay below cost reflective tarrifs.

By everyone. Fair is far. Rich can pay a higher rate than the poor.

We need to pay more in tax as a nation, otherwise we just keep shut when government borrows again.


Sorry, but not this old line again. Not because it is not true, but because it has been said over and over again since independence...meaning you guys are not ready to remove them from office yet.
we don't need to pay tax we need to cut down in the cost on governance
Use our resources adequately.

We do, but it won;t bring much to the treasury. At best, it would add another 1-2 trillion to the budget. At best.

Government spends a lot of money, but as a proportion of the budget? It doesn't do much.

He most likely has mental health issues.

He could easily have come to Nigeria, spend just a few months and be back to another foreign country. He is a Reverend father who is not supposed to have any worldly goods and should be willing to go anywhere. And he is being sent to his home region, for that matter.

It is a mental health issue. Or he has people he has seriously offended in Nigeria.

He should not have been a priest in the first place. Once you join the clergy of any religion, where they send you , you go.

His fears are valid though, once they hear you have come from America, ye must have dollars...kidnappers strike.
his fears are not valid there are millions of people who living in SE and he was due to he posted to another place. He choose a life of service but wanted to be enjoying in America
