the problem of nigeria is not the infrastructure. the problem of nigeria is nigerians. its a beautiful country full of demonic people. during that lockdown period the country was like paradise. you drive on the road peacefully no aggression etc . its a great country. i am talking to you with 24 7 internet from spectranet. its faster than the one i had in UK with plusnet
I'm not just talking about the internet and light, they were just examples. Living in your own comfortable bubble doesn't necessarily change what's happening outside, around you

I use a generator whenever I'm there, luckily I have the means to live comfortably there, my complaining about the unstable light was more a jab at the substandard standard of living overall..in the 21st century. I'm still going to be moving around within the country, I can't be THAT far removed from everything. If it's not the light it will be something else, the light was just an example
There is no country without its own drawbacks. I remember getting to the UK in the '90s, and having to do a 20-minute walk, from the nearest bus stop to my house in the frigging cold, every single day for months.

I worked in a rather exclusive part of town, and every few metres a police patrol car would drive by and stare at you, once you were black.

I got questioned a few times just for walking down that street. Something that never happened to my white colleagues.

Everywhere has its own stress. At least, in Naija your money can buy you comfort, if you have enough.

If you are financially okay, Nigeria is actually a very good place to live. All those one's abroad talking about mosquito and Nepa etc are just a bunch of broke ass because you can have 24/7 electricity in Nigeria easily if you can afford it. Until you travel yourself to see how most of them live in the so called abroad and the kind of work they do you will know where their bitterness and sense of unfulfilled expectations is coming from.

I'm not gonna lie...I miss Nigeria sometimes which makes me flirt with the idea of splitting my time there when my kids are older. I miss my family, my friends and the sense of community.

But then I remember lack of internet and electricity, horrific healthcare system, bad roads, bigotry, lack of value for human life, insecurity, police brutality, immense corruption, tribalism, crumbling or non-existent economy and a million other horrible things. This quickly resets my mind.

My solution which I'm currently working on is to bring my sisters and my best friend over to live in Sydney with me and make good living for themselves. Then I won't have any business with Nigeria anymore except to visit my parents every two years.

So to answer your question: no, nein, never!!!

A question for you please, if you had lots of money and you're not working for anyone in Sydney, like money is not an issue for you, would you stay there or would you come back to Nigeria.?

Don't mind them.

Keep on doing you Bro.

I've met many Nigerians living in Nigeria that comes over every year with their family for vacations to the USA. Some have even purchased vacation homes.

Are you sure they are the children or relations of politicians?

Gbam!! You said it all! Like I said before, I have lived in estates in this Naija, which would make you think you are still abroad. 24x7 power supply (with gensets, solar power, etc), swimming pool at the doorstep, fast WiFi, hi-tech security etc., including private car and driver to take you anywhere you want.

In one place I stayed, they had a private speedboat to take you from Ikoyi to Apapa, every day....

There are no countries without drawbacks but some places are more habitable than others. I'm thining beyond being in my own personal 'plush' bubble, about things like below standard health care facilities, bad roads, unstable light (I know there are alternatives like generators but I don't really want to stay in a country where basic ELECTRICITY isn't readily available, no matter how many alternatives there are). No place is perfect, but some places are overall 'better' when you weigh the pros and cons, depending on what you're after

to prevent ur getting attacked in naija wen u return u dont announce that u coming.dats the mistake most nigerians overseas make wen coming back.they will tell every tom dick and harry that they are coming so and so time in naija.wen u making ur trip to naija do it quietly.U can maybe tell ur parents but if ur parents na guy men they will keep it a secret for u.dont tell any friend whatsoever that u coming back.come back qiuetly do ur business and go back if u have to.wen u announce to everybody that u coming back thats when they plan for u.they will arrange bad boys for u .There was a guy who spent all his years in sweden and on the day he came to his village in benin that was the day he was murdered.The farm company he setup that was the place they murdered him.The police said it was fulani herdsmen but most ppl believed that hit was done by ppl close to him.nigeria has become so bad and evil that nobody can be trusted.

I've never been attacked o, I was just using that example to counter his comment about stabbings in the UK. I have a love, hate relationship with Naija, I always enjoy my time there I just wish it were a bit more habitable for me overall

Like?


1. constant light

2. constant pipe borne water

3. great roads - paved with safety panels with easy routs

4. social orderliness

5. effective 911 service (police, fire and ambulance)

6. not getting kidnapped on the street because you bought a new car

7. going to work and getting paid as when due - no stories of any employer owing you salaries

8. ease to find work as long as you have the needed and experience skills - no need to get a letter from anyone who knows someone

9. ease of getting food to eat - there are active food pantries to cater for the hungry, even food vouchers for those who qualify

10. free compulsory primary and secondary school for all

11. free feeding program for students from poor families - what your Buhari promised and could not deliver 5 years running

12. unemployment benefits at least to help you float until you get the next job

13. at least you will be treated and billed later if you have no health insurance

14. access to quality health care, (please dont refer to covid 19 - that was a pandemic) - your Buhari will not treat ear infection in naija

15. no one million boys running the streets causing mayhem anywhere in the US

16. no cult groups clashing and killing students in tertiary institutions and causing mayhem on the streets like in PH

17. No policeman or military man harassing you calling u a fraudster because you are wearing a N40,000 belt.....

LET ME STOP HERE BECAUSE I GUESS YOU JUST WANTED A RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION U ASKED

Whenever I hear all these type of rants i just know its from the poverty stricken ones making these statements so I don't even bother.
They know their being abroad is the only thing they can use to boast because when it comes to money nwanne,men here go shut them up back to back.
Like when you speak to them they keep telling you abroad this,abroad that...here it's like this,its like that.
But talk of investments and you find out how empty they are money wise upon the noise.
Roaming broke lunatics.
Funny enough the well to do ones wanna relocate but they just can't cos of their jobs.
