Not necessarily, as several Nigerians study abroad and actually return...
Nonetheless, even if we lose them physically they can still contribute to Nigeria from wherever they may domiciled. Congrats to both!
Thousands study and return. Most people returned because of their inability to secure a decent job overseas and also due to tighter immigration policies these days. Those ones that return, including me, are just numbers.

Being a graduate is different from being highly talented and genius -like. Those exceptionally intelligent ones, the innovators and inventors do not come back to the shores of this country. These are the category of people I meant and not the general children of the rich and self- sponsored students that study overseas and comes back to Nigeria to continue their hustle.

I was a PTDF scholar, studied and returned back to Nigeria because my skill is not an exceptional over there. I studied a mere Energy Finance but here we are talking of about those that have acquired the skills necessary for the job of the future.

Jelani Aliyu, who designed the globally-renowned Chevrolet Volt, came back. Funke Opeke, top of her engineering class at Columbia University and an Executive Director at Verizon, came back. Obinna Ukwuani, another top of the class graduate from MIT and creator of robotics academies in several countries, have also come back. And there are several others (and these are just the ones that I personally know of).

Nonetheless, I would always encourage anyone who has the opportunity to spend some time working and gaining critical experience abroad after their education (and obviously the better academic credentials one has, the better and greater opportunities one is likely to have) to do so before returning (in the event that they want to return), because what would most benefit Nigeria are world-class skills and capacity, not just academic knowledge and/or raw intelligence.

Furthermore, to reiterate my previous assertion, one does NOT have to be physically domiciled in Nigeria to contribute to Nigeria, and so long as folks can make a substantial and/or substantive contribution, wherever domiciled, then Nigeria has actually NOT ‘lost’ those persons.
