I am writing an article titled “should/ will the whites come back?”. I ll publish it on here too. Nigeria is a ticking bomb, if not checked more than a quarter of the population may loose their lives.

Brazil.

Stayed there for a year. Electricity, good roads, functional transportation system. Brazil has it all. Nigeria does not even come close. However, the rate of violence was something I never prepared myself for. Never in my life, not even in Nigeria did I fear for my life until I got there. On one occasion, thieves shot at us.

Also, the racism was something else. There was a sort of segregation in the classroom. Anyway, mine was still child's play compared to what some of my colleagues experienced.

I won't even consider living there. A colleague said Brasil is the closest place to hell. I totally agree.

Ah, did I forget the LGBT crew. Remember the first time I saw two guys kissing in the bus without a care. My reaction was something I won't forget grin

Nigeria shouldn't have been given independent when we go it... It should have been delayed to 1990s...maybe we would have been far more developed in all strata of life especially Infrastructure & working Institutions sad sad

And anyone that hasn't left the shores of naija na im no go know the bad when we leaders don do us...
you have said it all. Most people there are brainwashed and think the life their living is the best. Let them spend one in abroad they will know their greatest enemies are the politicians.

Ajala, so, you've been in SA for over 3 years and you're still planning to jump to another zone. When you reach there, you will jump elsewhere again. Instead of you to ask your village people where they kept your goals so you can go grab once and for all, you keep jumping from place to place searching for goals that are not lost. At your age, your mates don already dey settle down for one place, you still dey jump upandan

Have you ever traveled out of Nigeria? Is it better than Nigeria, if given the chance, will you stay there forever?
Share your experience!

This question is not answerable.
It depends on your resources, circumstances, what u value, and your own particular experience.
Some are much better off staying in Naija. For some that'd be a big mistake.

Hyderabad and Bangalore, India for one year

Na from airport for Dubai I start to dey curse our leaders. Got to Rajiv Gandhi in hyderabad and was amazed, Chei. We are really suffering

Best 1 year of my life was that 1 year I spent in India. Cheap food, cheap super fast Internet (like 2500 for unlimited fast Internet), Good roads, relatively cheap houses, Malls everywhere, super good intelligent and friendly lecturers
... And that's just India.. I keep wondering how it is in more advanced countries

In fact, I can't make the mistake of having my kids grow up in this Useless country, I honestly can't.

I love Nigeria and never planned to live outside Nigeria, but my first visit to Dubai UAE about 6 years ago tempted me. Life was so easy. Decided to make sure I go there for holiday yearly or at least once in 2 years.

Been to these countries in all: England, Scotland, France, Netherlands, UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Ghana and Benin Republic, but Dubai (UAE) is the one I enjoy most.

No stress about basic utilities etc.

UK is a great country but it never came to my mind to relocate there.

No plan to relocate anywhere. I remain Naija for life.

Trying to get to a stage where I can decide to go to anywhere in the world. No need to relocate.

Come back and do what? Whatever they want they know they can get . That bomb is going to go unchecked. Brace yourselves for the disaster that is coming. The shít going on has short and long term consrquences.

When I left Nigeria,I went to the UK
It was like going to a different world
Everything worked
It was shocking,coming from chaos
On a bus ride from Gatwick to Heathrow airport for the local flight to my destination I was observing the scenery and in awe.
These people are humans just like us
We are just as intelligent.
Why can't we be like them I wondered.
I have lived away from Nigeria more than I've lived in Nigeria but I always will love Nigeria.
Sadly I don't see things changing,I visit quite regularly.
I advise any young person who can to seek greener pasture elsewhere.
Of course not foolish risks through deserts and rickety boats.
If you can get to the US especially,please do
I'm not one to tell you iits all rosy,it's not,the early years will be rough but hard work pays.
If many can come here and make it,you can too

U.S here, lived in Canada for a while and visited Australia, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

They are all similar but if I have my way.. I will pick Australia ahead of the 3.

One thing that is common in this 3 dollar countries. Life is easier for you when you have a permanent residence or a citizen.

Also, Stay focused and work hard. Lot of times your success depends on who you stayed with when you arrived,( like your host. )

If they are good and honest, they will show the ropes , what to do etc.

And, make sure you know how to drive and get your own car.

In the U.S especially, everyone is striving for their independence. U.S is not Europe where many people dont fancy/or dont know how to drive and live like 5 in one apartment.

Not in the U.S , no one wants their privacy to be invaded, no one wants you to inconvenience them.. so dont expect to stay in someone's house for more than 3 months unless they are your parents or close blood relatives.. even at that before 3 months is up.. Berra find your own place and get yourself a car.

I have never been to any country before aside this my present Nigeria, but believe me, if I have my way to visit any other country, I would prefer I stay there forever.

The present Nigeria, is not habitable for human being, even the animals are suffering.

Sometimes I weep as I see people struggle to make it in this country either graduate or artisans.
Going abroad MIGHT be easier. Just have a well thought out plan

You can use small money to go to Benin Republic. That's if you are in Lagos. Settle them at the border and cross. Spend one night. It's still abroad. Though they speak French. But those guys are totally different from Nigeria in their thinking and acting. Good roads.
