You haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Have you ever been to diaspora? You'd be amazed at the number of Nigerians in diaspora who did come home only to run back soon after.

Naija people will be telling you pigs fly even though they've never seen pigs flying and while you are telling them pigs can't fly they are busy depleting your resources until you are broke and run back where you ran from.

We need a critical mass of well educated and exposed people too (which Nigeria SERIOUSLY LACKS) the educated mass of Nigeria in the real sense of it is at most 15 TO 20% of the population

With this problem, we have Nigerians vote denagogues who reflect their shithole values (eg the current idiot in Aso Rock got there principally with almajiri voters and beggars. Even when Yar 'adua; a man from the same state as he is, but highly educated and reasonable; contested against Buhari, they still preferred the Buhari, because that reflects them and their screwed up values )

The WESTERN World is crumbling under DEBT and an AGING POPULATION. It cannot sustain itself without recourse to the people and resources of so called third world countries , such as Nigeria. Everybody knows that Africa, including Nigeria is the future; which is why the Europeans, Indians, Chinese and other nationalities are trooping to Africa to make a 'milking' of resources.

Yet our people abroad are as blind as bats to the future reality and are content with short term luxury to settle in the WEST despite the FACT that the economies are faltering. Many of our people abroad have vowed never to return to the country even if it means the total uprooting of their name and legacy from Nigeria for all eternity. Their children have never been to the land of their ROOTS which is very crucial for future IDENTITY. They spread scary stories about how Nigeria is 100% engulfed in war, robbery and kidnapping, yet the WHITES, CHINESE and INDIANS are relocating to Nigeria and doing big business, making money. They lament about poor roads, lack of water and electricity and corruption which is TRUE, but they do not proffer solutions, or are not ready to sacrifice or join politics to make a change.

Fellow diasporas, at the barest minimum, bring your children home to know their roots and meet your relatives. Why?

Because; I predict that the WESTERN WORLD, is going to get very hard , especially for minorities in the future and Africa will be the best place to be. Mark my word, Nigeria or whatever Nigeria becomes in the future, WILL BE GOOD and be BETTTER. It will a safer and more prosperous place than the WESTERN WORLD which is now crumbling under DEBT.

I do not say, come back home finally, NO. I mean have one leg in Nigeria and one leg abroad; Have something small in Nigeria , even if it is a small bungalow or a small piece of land. Plan the future of children with Nigeria in mind, for it is the ONLY PLACE they will receive FULL ACCEPTANCE as BLACK PEOPLE and with the right skills and experience, they can make it comfortably and even better for their progeny.

Almost 90% of diaspora children cannot speak the language and have no clue about their culture. This means they have no connection to their roots and WILL NEVER COME BACK. This is disgusting.

Yes, Nigerian is in a bad place right now, but be rest assured, CHANGE IS COMING SOON. WATCH THIS SPACE.

No lie there. Only last week my colleagues and I were discussing our Defined benefit and defined Contribution pensions, I am one of the younger and newer staff within their midst these guys have been there for 14-23 years I've been with the company 20months..
This is a fortune 10 and a leader in technology with excellent benefits with a good pension scheme and we may not be able to sustain our preferred lifestyles on our pensions when we retire in 20-25 years

You live in the UK? Washing plates?
If you have failed in the UK, don't discourage other people. Try come to Canada and be cured of your narrow mindedness! By the time I get my Canadian citizenship and I'm a Nigerian by birth,
who did you think has more adaptability? I can swing to both of the countries at will.

Backward mindset, but no surprise here.

There is dignity in washing plates, at least I live by honest means.

Cut off from your heritage forever, because of a few luxuries and chicken, lol. You think the white man will make you one of HIM or HER. Keep dreaming.

Have you ever come home to establish a business as a citizen in your country....only for you to be terminated after few years with over taxing, and stupid policies that will give a foreign company from China....upper hand?


I GUESS NO

budaatum:
You should not guess. You are not good at it! And guessing with no evidence leads to failure.

My last venture left me pooing and pissing and unable to Move, You Toes! And that's just the toe bits.

WELL I ESTABLISHED MINI ELECRICITY GENERATING COMPANY THAT CAN SERVE HALF A COMMUNITY FOR A START CAPABLE OF 16HRS ELECTRICITY A DAY....NERC HAD TO SHUT ME DOWN EVEN THROUGH COURT

JUST A MONTH AFTER STARTING

budaatum:
You breached the law. Individuals are not allowed to set up electric generators without NERC license.

My library still runs, as does my farm. I'm just not able to be there myself.
