AreaFada2:you're one of those few whom have made valid points and responded based on the topic created by the OP. Kudos bro....I had every opportunity to stay back after my program at Howard. I came back. I can't afford to stop seeing my parents. I love being closer to the family. My friend's dad died while he was battling with his papers , he couldn't come home. He cried, cried and cried...what a life! I thank God for my life, maybe my kind of decision didn't work for others but If they can search for unique opportunities, they can still stand tall. Indians used to dominate the sector in which i operate in Nigeria . Now, we have taken over. I've been to 34 states in USA. We have manufacturers spread all over there. I've had the opportunity of meeting with the USA president at the daughters of American revolution hall in D.C. some years back, courtesy my profession. I'd always be grateful to God for the inspiration 5 Likes 1 Share |

sassysure: No offense bro. Let's be civilized and argue as adults(except you Aren't). You dnt know me yet you decided. I have the funds and opportunities yet I didn't move. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Success is relative. I'm enjoying the thread and reading people's different opinions and respecting their decision. That's how it should be. 6 Likes |

DexterousOne: Agreed. But the information being given out here is completely false. The person I quoted was saying we didn't have health insurance. I think many people are simply ignorant, that's why they are complaining in the first place |

At least in Nigeria, if you keep away from certain places and stay indoors at certain times, you'll be fine. While in western countries like the US, some weirdo will just enter a pub and start shooting at rando, or some other wacko will just attack you with knives on the street in broad day light and for no reason. sirhamilton: 2 Likes |

PremiumTrends: sowilli read this PremiumTrends post very well. It seems like you are not familiar with how terrible the Nigeria system is. You based your judgement on money, but do you know that SARS do harass young legit hustlers going about their normal lives on a daily basis simply because they are driving clean cars? They term every fresh guy a Yahoo boy. Are you aware of that? Can you comfortably flaunt your wealth if you won't be kidnapped within a week? Can you move freely or drive freely in the night if you won't get robbed on the way in Nigeria? I have always said it: I don't know why most of you always focus on money while neglecting quality standard of living. What's the life expentancy of those in Nigeria? Can you boldly quote the life expectancy of people in Nigeria and compare it with those in the western world? Let's not always base our judgements on money. Even if you have the money, you can't live freely here in Nigeria without watching over your shoulder any time you are out. The system is very life threatening here. Once you have money, police will harass you on a daily basis to collect their own share, arm robbers will ambush and rob you on a daily basis. What of kidnappers? They will open a bank on your head every six months. Do you know how many times Mikel Obi's father got kidnapped? Simply because his son is a footballer. They kept kidnapping the old man every year. Why do you think they are doing that? Bro believe it or not, it is a crime to have money in Nigeria cuz you can't spend it freely. Everyone will like to take their share. But that's not the case in the western world. No wealthy man moves freely here in Nigeria without carrying gazallion of security men along. Think of all of that and you will realise that your motion holds no point. People are suffering in Nigeria. We pay for what we are not using. No light but NEPA still bring bills every month for people to pay. In the west, you enjoy what you pay for in hundred folds do you know that? The system is designed in a way that there is no dichotomy between the rich and the common man. They all enjoy the same basic amentinities. Can we say of that in Nigeria? My point? Don't base your judgement on money cuz you won't live to tell the story if you have the money in Nigeria. We advocate for quality standard of living. A system where life is valued. A system that gives the common man the opportunity to enjoy world class infrastructures and boost life expentancy. Believe it or not, Nigeria is not a safe place to stay. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

Luxxycool:You are right bros, UK is boring especially to those of us that has spent most part of our lives in naija before migrating or relatively new here. But the ones born here or those that has been here for long have a way of widening out to enjoy themselves. For new and older people, it's difficult making new friends unless you are fortunate to be around those you have known from naija. Everybody is busy here and it seems the system only encourage you to go to work, come home to sleep and go back to work . The system is not 'naija compliant' at all but it allows one to be focussed and develop yourself gradually. The system is stable and working unlike naija wey be say common man no get life. 4 Likes |
