Most can't return simply because they lack the financial capability to live the kind of lifestyle that they currently live in abroad. A lot will have to start from scratch, buying or building a house, getting a job etc. If most can afford to live a decent life in Nigeria, they will move back in a jiffy.

You see them online looking like they are living big, but that is a facade that is masquerading the real struggle if living abroad.

Are you speaking for yourself or people you know or think you know?

I think you are missing the point. The kind of 'lifestyle' you mentioned doesnt take a millionaire to live in developed countries.

Lifestyles such as good amenities, health care system that works, good educational and transportation system, adequate security, decent accommodation, banking system that doesn't extort, rule of law that works etc...are largely considered BASIC in the developed countries.

However, that doesn't mean things are perfect but if you want to compare struggles, you have lost the debate before it even starts.

Nigeria is not as bad as you portray.. I have been away for over 8years now, and the reason is lack of electricity,thats our major problem.. Believe me many country won't survive if they don't have constant electricity... So our government need to fix that first and believe me 80percent of Nigerians abroad will go back home.. No place like home

You have a point but went overboard with your 80%.

Well, Adele you now have your bad boy. But don't come back complaining when he's all of a sudden a bad boy inflicting punches on your plump face.

wisewordd:
If we don't have sustainable alternative, I don't see the need for the border closure. Meanwhile, people that closed the border are eaten foreign food, buying expensive foreign clothes, children live abroad, using foreign hospital, and the list goes on. Question, who is deceiving who?

I disagree with you. And I am sure that you have heard the term 'no pain, no gain'. If we are to move forward economically as a nation, measures like these needs to be put in place.

You mentioned the upper class. What is the population of those that can afford foreign products and services compared to the rest that cannot? Who will benefit more since the border closure is already seeing a surge in local production of agricultural produce etc?

If we are to chart a different course economically, we need to be ready to roll up our sleeves and do the needful.

Today will always pass, tomorrow will always come.

Not an expert, will wait here to learn.

Insensitive is when they let their border to be wilfully porous without considering the negative effect it was having on Nigeria's economy.

I think it is a wonderful move by the government as it will spur more local and foreign direct investments in agriculture and other sectors, and subsequently provide more employment opportunities for our citizens.

Travel / Re: Nigerians In Diaspora Should Learn Good Behavior. by Rubicon67(m): 8:07pm On Sep 27, 2019
MiztaYouneek:
Let me first of all say that I am not trying to be tribalistic here or referring to all Nigerians in diaspora as the same. I know there are many good and humble fellows out there who know why they left Nigeria and are making positive impacts.

I lived in a country years back which was dominated by the yorubas and if you see how some of them behave you will really ponder how they keep succeeding in living in that country. No respect for their host citizens, always feeling they own the country especially some that have made money. I was in a Nigerian restaurant one day and one man who was older than me came and started speaking Yoruba for me just like that. Out of respect I told him I don't understand the language and then he asked me if I wasn't a Nigerian. I told him I was a Nigerian but obviously Nigeria is not an all Yoruba country. The had the guts to open that stinking mouth of his that I know is already caused to tell me that I should question God to ask why I wasn't born a Yoruba. I know for sure they must have deported him by now or he might be in prison or something because I don't see such kind of a person making any positive impact in his life.

That aside I also had other terrible experiences with these yoruba people but I can't share all here. The main point is that not all of them had bad characters but the majority of them that did have bad characters sometimes affect all Nigerians in general even those with good characters.

Years later I have moved to a very different country which is more of a French speaking country and it is dominated more by the igbos. Over here is worse than the other country dominated by yorubas. Many of these igbo guys have no atom of respect at all for their host citizens. They feel they are making money and always trying to oppress their host citizens. Sometimes if you see how they talk and insult the citizens in English without any consideration that some of these citizens understand English a little. What surprises me most times is when some of these people will be insulting the host citizens saying things like if it was in Nigeria they can't do such and how Nigeria is better than the country, but they left the same Nigeria they say is better to another country not like if the host country invited them. It is really sad because I believe only some few people who have really travelled will understand the little points am trying to make.

Just last night, I was with an igbo guy who runs a legit business and we were on our way home because we stay in same neighborhood. On the way we noticed a lot of police presence but we just kept moving. Immediately we got close to a junction we saw two police officers who stopped us and they were speaking French so I didn't understand what they said. The guy I was walking with understands and speak french very well so he was communicating with them. The only thing I noticed was that they were pointing somewhere for us to sit down just like on the ground. I peacefully went to sit down and this other guy refused to sit and kept talking to one of the police. I didn't know what was going on as there were other people around as well but all speaking French so I signaled the other police that was close to me and told him I don't understand French but I needed to know what the problem is. Luckily for me he could understand English and he asked me for my identification. I reached out to my wallet and showed him then he asked if I was a Nigerian and I said yes. He then told me I can go because all they wanted to see was my identification so he called the other police and told him I don't understand French but I had shown him my identification and they both asked me to go. That was when I realized that all those plenty talk my friend was talking was unnecessary because they only needed to see our identification. I then called him aside and told him to calm down and speak with them gently but to my surprise he brought out his phone and said he wants to call some of his other police friends. I believe that angered one of the police and the next thing I saw was that they started pushing him to go and sit down where they initially asked us to sit. He kept on resisting while speaking French with them and the next thing I saw was two truck load policemen. Seems they were all together doing the patrol around the area and the whole story changed immediately. The environment became intense and that's how they pushed this guy into the truck with other people that they had arrested as well.

As for me, when I saw the way everything got intense I had no choice but to leave the place and started running home. Like that old saying "na who run from war dey live to tell the story". And that is what I am doing. Up till now he has not been released and no one knows yet where he is.

The bottom line of this all is that, though I know he will be released, it was just a very simple matter that would have been avoided by just being humble and able to show some respect that would have solved the problem and prevented any form of arrest in that forceful manner.

I don't see what it takes for us as Nigerians, no matter the money we are making, to always be humble to our host and respect them irrespective of age or anything. We have to learn to stop that attitude of I am better than my host and Nigerians have more sense than they do.

Whenever you travel out to wherever, please learn to show more respect and always be humble no matter how rich you think you have become.

Thank you OP. You are unofficially, a self-appointed, world renowned tribalised behavioural expert in the Yoruba ways.

Your tribe has a reputation for being perfect and model citizens wherever they are from South Africa, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, USA, UK to Thailand...need i go on?

Sports / Re: Lamine Diaby-Fadiga Stole Teammate's €70,000 Watch by Rubicon67(m): 12:17pm On Sep 27, 2019
Snails:
Nice forward Lamine Diaby-Fadiga has admitted to stealing teammate Kasper Dolberg's watch from a team dressing room last week, sources have confirmed to ESPN FC

The story was first reported by French outlet L'Equipe.

Diaby-Fadiga, 18, is one of the most promising prospects at the club, where he's been since joining the academy at age 13. Alongside his lawyers, he confessed his crime to the club, apologised to Dolberg and manager Patrick Vieira, and promised to reimburse his teammate for the full value of the watch.

The timepiece is worth €70,000.

Dolberg pressed charges against an unknown perpetrator he denoted as "X" last week after discovering the watch had been stolen during a training session. An official investigation was later opened by the police.

Nice are also investigating the matter on their side and Diaby-Fadiga risks having his contract terminated for gross misconduct as well as risking a criminal conviction.

The former France U16, U17 and U19 international made his debut for Nice as a 16-year-old and made six appearances for the first team last season.

Explain...... that a bike and a trailer shouldn't be on the same road or what? Or that there are no accidents in advanced countries?

There are avoidable accidents like shipping containers falling on vehicles and other road users on daily basis, like trailers and other vehicles not roadworthy, speed limits and other traffic regulations not being observed, culprits rarely facing consequences for their recklessness etc

Advanced countries have measures in place to mitigate these avoidable incidents and that is why occurrences are not as common as we have in Nigeria.
