Dollywood:
Nigeria share similarities with hellfire

ogbonti:
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.....

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!!!

if an individual must attain such financial status to enjoy all that, then something is seriously not right. that thing is what sane people are concerned about.

I drove past the passport office in ikeja today and was like....so people still wan travel? The crowd was unprecedented.[b][/b] Meanwhile some young chaps are busy raking in millions monthly inside same country. [b][/b]What we are all looking for in sokoto is right inside our sokoto

promotervickky:
[s][/s]You are all saying bullshit, I make good money from the Nigeria you people insult, they are others too that makes millions everyday.

I have friends with millions in their account, all made their money from home in Nigeria!!

I sell Cars, do you know how many people buy cars daily in Nigeria?

Why the rest countries are developed is because you carry the money you made in Nigeria and spend it there.

First they chop you for IELTS
Secondly settlement funds! And others. That is why they are leaving their country open for everyone, they just need your money.

Believe in your view of Nigeria if you wish, but don't paint it bad. If it's not working for you, it working for others period.[s][/s]

Snaagg:
Nigerians abroad, how many of you are considering relocating back to the 'motherland' once this whole pandemic/lockdown debacle is over?

If you are, state your reasons here..

whirlwind7:
Nigeria only serves to line the pockets of those in power.

zomby:
As long as the estate is in Nigeria, it is nothing but a package of a senseless rubbish.

Does it make any sense to live in a million dollar estate, but when it rains your Range Rover has to swim in a muddy water to get home?

Every basic things in UK or yankee happens to be a giant deal in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the only country where poor people and rich folks are both suffering...but they are both too mentally blind to realize this fact.

Snaagg:
Haba! There are people seriously considering it o... mainly for that sense of "community"

I know someone planning to move back before the end of the year in case there's a second wave of this pandemic. That way, she can be with her friends / family during a second (and possibly more stricter) lockdown.

RuudVanNisteroy:
You hit the nail right on the head. While Lee Kuan Yem returned to Singapore to make it the economic powerhouse it is today. Nigerian leaders like Tinubu,Fani Kayode, Dimeji Bankole that went to the best schools abroad- did the opposite. They made Nigeria the poverty and corruption capital of the world.

fieryy:
Thank you. I was waiting for this comment. If I need to have a lot of money for my basic human needs to be fulfilled, then there definitely is a problem. Not everybody moved abroad because they were struggling. We were doing pretty well, if not better in Nigeria.
During this corona pandemic, the few Nigerian politicians who contracted the virus would have flown out of the country, if they could. It's not just about money.

Kuns84:
You refer to our country as hellfire? How so

promotervickky:
You are all saying bullshit, I make good money from the Nigeria you people insult, they are others too that makes millions everyday.

I have friends with millions in their account, all made their money from home in Nigeria!!

I sell Cars, do you know how many people buy cars daily in Nigeria?

Why the rest countries are developed is because you carry the money you made in Nigeria and spend it there.

First they chop you for IELTS
Secondly settlement funds! And others. That is why they are leaving their country open for everyone, they just need your money.

Believe in your view of Nigeria if you wish, but don't paint it bad. If it's not working for you, it working for others period.

sweetmelanin:
Same here.

This my exact reason(s) why I cannot live there.

The general mindset & way of life is just so exasperating.

Investnow2017:
When someone said you can make money in Nigeria, I was personally irked. I wanted to comment I feared I might be too hard on him. It is not all about money. For me I need some SANITY, a working, organized system.

When I returned the other day, I almost wept at the Lagos airport. Just to form a queue everyone, I mean mature adults, were so impatient and unkind, rushing, stepping on toes, rushing from the rear to meet an immigration officer they know to attend to them FIRST. It was too bad. Whatever happens to gentility!

EgunMogaji2:
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.

DAVE5:
Hah, oga in every 10 Nigerians on the street, I'm sure 7 would like to run

I've never had that abroad dream but mehn, based on things I experience everyday, I'm buying the thought of running, this country no easy abeg

urchcoded:
Men I fvcking love this country. I like the food, I like the women (in terms of anatomy and physiology) I like the naija customized Savagery and sarcasm. I just wanna do well. And enjoy here with my friends and family. I want to be able to afford to travel at will, but just for a vacation or tourism and not to relocate to another man's land just because you wanna see beautiful landscape. The only problem I have with Nigeria is religion which makes it difficult to associate with all them religious people.

sweetmelanin:
Move back to Nigeria? Lol
You couldn't pay me enough to do so. I can't and I won't!
