This is one of the major challenges they face. I met a guy in Chicago in 2018. He moved in from Europe. Last year, his dad died, the man who spent his hard-earned money on his education, including his master's degree in Europe. He only cried his heart out but couldn't come home cos he had no papers yet. I advised him to return to Europe since he had their papers and work or he applied for work in USA and processed his papers from EU and emigrate legit. He didn't listen, till his US visa expired in husbands. He had already completed his programme before he left for USA from Europe. He's been visiting USA from Europe as a student all along.

Even some can't afford to visit yearly, regardless of their status over there. Once they look at that money, they change their mind. They'd prefer sending that money instead meanwhile, money can't buy relationship and family. Seeing your parents and relations around you alone is more healing than any medication.

Here despite the economic situation, people would dash those in need here money freely , despite not earning so much but ask them in the Diaspora to do same, they could block your lines forever. I understand it's not that easy over there. I pray we get leadership right this year so our economy and country can fare better and people can come home and invest. I crave family so much. I can't afford to spend a quarter without seeing my lovely parents and siblings. I like being with people around me.
Over there , everyone is afraid of neighbours. Here you can barge into your neighbour's house and ask if they have chilled water inside their fridge or anything to munch, out of love. You can't do that over there. They'd call police at the slightest suspicion. You could be living with the neighbour next door for months and yet, you're not seeing each other and that's why people commit suicide more easily there. Nobody to share thoughts with and by the time they add one plus one, they've ended it before you know it.

For me, I like putting my money down for wherever I like without anyone coming to me and be asking me to pay for one gbese. If I want to build house, I build and move on, same if I want to buy car. Mortgage and stuffs aren't my style. I be African man, original.

Thank you Big brother for this write up.
How can this write up get to people?
I have friends in USA,LONDON,SCOTLAND,SAUDI ARABIA,CHINA, Those in US have not come back for over 15years,Pennsylvania, Chicago,Texas,California, these families cannot come home,they keep sending #2,3,10k to family members that is not up to what people spend here all round. Burial, weddings,health support they will not contribute but by December they will send 2,3,6k to families to celebrate. So my question is if what you are doing abroad is not working, come home. African culture is built on families. QED. We fight to survive but still stay with each other.

Some Nigerians are very superstitious when it comes to Japa affairs. Some are afraid of being in an environment whose language they don’t understand while some are scared of the cost of living and some are uncomfortable about their safety in their new location.

Let’s talk, what scares you the most about relocating abroad?

Not being able to come home at will.

I support Wike. Atiku big head dey deceive am. Oga, go rest for Dubai or Cameroon till 2031. I may vote for you in 2031 when it is the turn of the North if Zulum or Datti is not contesting..

It is the turn of the SOUTH. Shift.

Where is it written it is the turn of the south?

This shows that south south leaders are clowns.
