Do you agree?

Couldn't have put it any better

African dream you mean?

...and live the rest of his life abroad while loving Nigeria and being patriotic from abroad.

A true phenomena. But here is the reason for it:
They become so focused on making a life abroad that by the time they take a breath and realise that Nigeria wasn't so bad in comparison, it becomes too late to go back.

Funny but not unique to Nigeria. People tend to love their country more once abroad. Even some people from rich countries hate their countries - until they try living in their beloved romanticized "abroad".

WRONG, WRONG WRONG.

From experience, 50% of focused Nigerians abroad only miss family members, cultural activities and the lawlessness in Nigeria.

But you just mentioned everything that gives life meaning: family members, cultural activities and freedom from inexcapable laws!

There is absolutely nothing such as Nigerian dream, if any, it is a dead end. Nobody can dream without a sleep unless a daydream induced by hardship.

There is no Nigerian dream or vision. It is just a geographical space with the largest population known for the worst possible vices...completely dead zone

I sorry 4 Nigeria

You are right to some extent. But people abroad miss home, culture like someone earlier said but more importantly the impunity and lawlessness in Nigeria. Western countries don't reward laziness but laziness thrives in Nigeria and that's part of the reason Nigeria is the way it is.

The bolded is why Nigeria will struggle for many years to come. In the bolded is corruption and the glaring truth almost every Nigerian participates in corruption, no only the leaders.

No , it's a Nigerian dream. SADC people generally don't give a flying shyt about living overseas because they are dedicated in improving their countries for the future generation. In this region it is only Zimbabweans who vacate their country in numbers and that's due to what the west put them through , once Zim stabilizes I'm sure they will go back home in numbers as they have a beautiful country to maintain. My point; stop generalizing the whole africa .

But as u noted in your post it is part of the fun/freedom of Nigeria. Here's what u wrote:

"Nigerians abroad only miss... the lawlessness in Nigeria."
