“We
all know why majority of Nigerians abroad will never return home. There
is hardly any news from Nigeria nowadays that will encourage an average
Nigerian abroad, or in a country like the US to pack their bags and
just want to go back home. I had a conversation recently with a Nigerian
living here in the US for over 20 years, I tried to convince him to
return home. Guess what he said, “The hardship here is more comfortable
than the pleasure in Nigeria.”Govt
have been paying lip service to brain-gain, but truth be told, If you
are a Nigerian living in a country like the US and you’ve finally
decided that you want to go back to your motherland after all these
years, if you see these disturbing images of Lekki flooding, won’t you
change your mind? Or you hear about the widespread jungle justice on
innocent people everywhere and the horrible Badoo ritual killing in
Ikorodu, will you still want to go home? Police harassment of innocent
youth they see with iphones and laptops, arrest and delay of judgment of
high profile criminals and too many other sad occurrences to mention.
Why are we so backward in Nigeria?I know that the cost of
comfortable living in many parts of the Island is almost the same for
comfortable living in a place like New York City or some parts of the
US. But, compare both. No good drainage in Lekki, the few poor drainages
are blocked with trash yet the ‘rich and classy’ residents will come
abroad and will not dare throw a piece of paper on the floor. We all
must change our ways, because there is no place like home. Govt and
individuals, we all must think deeply. Let’s play our roles. Let’s be
kind to our environment and our environment will be kind to us…
