I moved home this year from the US after a medical degree, a master's degree, a PhD and medical specialisation. That's after 15 years. My objectives were clear: to develop my specialty and to ensure knowledge transfer to Nigeria.

It was rough but I got used to it. The biggest problem of Nigeria is also it's greatest strength; the people. I will advise that you find the right people to help smoothen your transition. Find people who are not interested in grabbing from you but in genuinely helping you resettle.

You must come with a mndset that it won't be easy. You will be your own city council. You will have to generate your own power and water.

They will never pay you enough. At least that's how it will seem at first. It used to take less than a week to use up what the Government was paying but as you settle into the Nigerian system it will get better. Since you're in I.T I expect that you'll have quite a number of opportunities and a different set of challenges.

The difference between you and is that I obtained citizenship and I still go back and forth with all our plans with the knowledge and technology transfer.

I can tell you this. Once you are settle in and you're generating the right kind of income Nigeria is a decent place to live in. It's a fertile ground and someone such as yourself will be amazed as to how much you can accomplish.

So have a clear road map, find the right people, be mentally prepared. If I can do it so can you.

Before you come, invest very well in Nigeria, like buying of land, invest in bitclub,

Thank God for people like you who understand that it takes you and I, and each drop of water in the ocean no matter how little will help grow it. The only problem this guy has is that he may be facing being illegal in the US. Yes he should try as much as possible to legalize that will be his best bet, but if that fails to happen staying in the US illegally would be the beginning of his problems.

Living under their parents? That's what America is known for. Most graduated between 22yrs-35yrs in America still live with their parents. More 35 yrs old in America depend on their parents to house and feed them. Keep living in the American dream since waking up from the illusion is not part of the dream

Pidgin2:


In the US that one depressed soul with a gun can enter a school, set dynamites and kill everyone including children? Where racists can walk into a church and spray bullets on people because they are black, same US where a lunatic can enter an office building and blow up everyone, same US where Hurricanes, tornadoes and wild fires kill and destroy, US where North Korea is preparing nuclear weapons for you all? You can't feel safe in US even the government has never felt safe, it's a big lie

We dont ve such in d Scandinavia where I live.

BluFlyBoy:
Wow this thread has blown up. But I've already decided I will get my stay here in the states and fight for it as much as I can.

Indeed!

OP I was in your situation 2 years ago. It was 2 years ago I was ready to move back to Nigeria from the U.S. after 13 years of getting bachelors and masters and working. I joined that company Move Back to Nigeria, even paid for a consultant to talk to me about moving back. I started applying to jobs. Nothing was picking up. Then recession hit. Fear catch me - the stories about people suffering because they lost their job... it was scary. Today I am preparing to move back to Nigeria in a few months months. Here is how I did it: 1) Applied and was accepted to graduate programs in Canada 2) Saved a lot of money.

I am moving back with a clear goal in mind - to REST from working, and see my parents - and with an exit strategy - leaving for Canada for school. I will only be in Nigeria for a few months, but it is more than enough to help me figure out if I want to live there permanently. But, I will do everything I can to get Canadian passport before even thinking of moving permanently to Nigeria.

The truth is Nigeria is a failed state. Its easy to get seduced by privileged friends and articles on naija websites by returnees talking about all the cool things they are doing. make no mistake, ALL NA WASH. You know what I started doing 1.5 years ago when I realized I couldn't move back to Nigeria yet? Anytime I read some post about some young person under 40 doing a cool business in Nigeria or going to cool parties, being into "fashion" (in the case of women), I googled and researched the person's background. You will be amazed at how majority of comfortable Nigerians under 40 who are living the life are subsidized by their parents!! Let me give you some examples.
Friend 1 - started a nice business and a human rights NGO and was living in Lekki driving a nice jeep. Her parents gave her free housing, bought her that car, and gave her the rental space to start BOTH her businesses.
Friend 2 - moved back to attend law school in Nigeria then worked at as lawyer and was living the life, going to clubs. Again, parents gave her free housing, bought her the car, and actually have paid 100% for the THREE degrees she has from top schools.

The other day I was looking at pictures of this beautiful Nigerian fashionista, thinking about how nice it would be to live at home where I can be rocking ankara and woodin outfits up and down. I went an looked at her linkedin. This woman is an editor for an online magazine in naija - that is her main job. There is no way she can be living so comfortably on her magazine salary. Until I saw which secondary school she went to. Then it became clear - the parents were at it again!

In summary, I know people who have moved back to Nigeria. I do not know one person who willingly moved back and stayed there who did not have 1) western passport OR 2) wealthy parents. The people I know who have been forced to relocate, frankly their lives don't seem that attractive and given the opportunity I know they will get the hell out of Nigeria. One of them found a job in eastern Europe of all places, just to escape.

Your best bet is to try to get Canadian residency. By this time next year, you will have it, instead of waiting for the Americans to listen to your pleas and give you the green card. If you are itching for a change and are unsure about US prospects, apply to Canada. Right now the government is handing out green cards like water. This is not going to last. In fact last time I was home I heard that Nigerians are gaming the system, getting other Nigerians in Canada to file fraudulently for permanent residency. You think the Canadians won't learn this soon? And once they do, the door and window will be shut to you and I. Take advantage of the option that is available to you now. It may not be there forever.

Hahahahaahahahaha. Nothing like begging here. If I lack money to buy food then I would be placed on social welfare. At least my permanent residence permits makes me qualify for that.
Those hands are cleaner than ur nipples.
No go die of high bp cos of me. U want more pics of my ‘stolen food’?
Don’t pity me but ur miserable life and that of the womb that carried u. U re just a filthy waste.

Pidgin2:


I've never read anything so negative except on Nairaland, from someone in diaspora? You are a fake lord indeed.

What even gives you the impetus to call yourself "Lord"? What do you have to offer your subjects apart from lies

You have written nothing but online negative news. My friend, you can't live abroad and rely on bloggers to fill you in about Nigeria. Are you trying to say that there's absolutely nothing negative about America? I know someone, a graduate flipping burgers at Mac Donalds today, is that what a graduate should be doing, her hands got roasted recently and you call that an option

Why deceive people here? If such a person earns $11/hr, won't he pay tax, bills and such, can someone survive conveniently on that with a family to feed?

You mention so many negative stuffs in your post, is it that you can't even find positives about Nigeria? Since your mind is filled with negativity, let me enlighten you a bit:

In Nigeria, people can lease land for as little as N50K per plot for farming. If you go to the hinter lands, land is surplus, what is needed is man power. Such places are not stressful to live in, they are relatively quiet and peaceful, with good texture land for farming

Recently there has been increased govt grants, tax waivers, and other incentives to encourage farming especially in rural areas where land is surplus

Access to credit, microfinance banks are ready and willing to provide loans particularly to those willing to establish small scale businesses

The land mass of Nigeria is large enough to accomodate our growing population, unfortunately people have abandoned traditional means of livelihoods of our grand parents for modern day slavery. Fish and livestock farming are very lucrative and cost effective especially when done in rural areas, traditional arts and crafts can be a good money spinner if only people are ready to look inwards, tourism too especially if social media is censored (more positive news as opposed to negatives,most countries do this)

With abundant mineral resources even mining these minerals locally can lead to high yields and income but are people ready to live in rural areas and end their desire for white collar jobs outside the shores of Nigeria? Not when people like you write long epistles, condemning the country and calling yourself a name that you are unworthy of

You are simply encouraging greed and lack of contentment. I watched a historical movie set in Mississippi around the 60's, the time when they used to build houses without toilets in America, then black people fought to be treated equally, some even lost their lives in the process. Evrerything America has today is bourne out of patriotism. You shouldn't encourage people to give up on their heritage, if you personally think Nigeria/ Nigerians are no good why are you identifying with us?

You definitely have time engaging her, ignore her, your response to her is giving her few minutes attention, don't dignify her with another response, I have long ignored her and she has fizzle out because I deliberately don't want to engage her, responding to her is a colossal waste of time, those of us who live in the West know the huge difference between living in a dead rotten jungle called Nigeria and living a a place where your quality of life is guaranteed, ignore her, and see how she melt out like candles under a hot sun

grossintel:
OK, now I think you are just a secondary school kid trolling about stuff you don't know. I couldn't ignore your comments because it's full of lies and more lies and lies. How can 9m build you a filling station that can yield 400k profit a day? Is it not the same business I'm doing or do you mean drug business? You have no statistics to back that rubbish you quoted. Buying 30k/33k litters of pms alone is about 5m, and that will sell in about 2 weeks with depending on your location with an average profit of 100k except you mix it with SRG. The only profitable products are dpk and Ago, but that depends on your location and scarcity. No way you can justify making 400k daily on a petrol station built with 9m excluding operating costs that can take up 12m on products and a tanker. The best advise I can give the op is to relocate to Canada or Australia than to listen to kids like you.

God bless You my brother
