    God bless you and your family. As a Nigerian watching your videos always, my duty is to always like your videos before watching them. There are so many Nigerians living in other parts of African countries including Kenya who are living a good life compared to the life some of us who are living in the diaspora are living.My sister, my prayers for you and your family is that you guys will continue to live your best life here in Nigeria. Integrate yourself into the society that is one of the keys , learn the language,broken English or Yoruba and you will become more Nigerian😊.Sending you guys a lot of love from here.

      For bulk grocery shopping. Try "food & drinks" at oke- arin market. It's like buying at Costco. You can watch videos about the place before you visit. It's just behind UBA/zenith bank at Balogun, it's close to the road. This is where your supermarket buys in bulk. For vegetables, the local market is cheaper. But you can shop on "vegetal" they do home delivery.

    Sometimes natives don't see opportunities on their land like a foreigner. Nigeria has a large population, and even if 10 million leaves, it won't be noticed. There are 4 million Lebanese in Lebanon, but over 12 million Lebanese live outside Lebanon. Migration is not peculiar to Nigeria alone. The Philippines has more nurses' philipinos outside the Philippines than in the Philippines. People naturally gravitated to where there are opportunities. I believed as a Kenyan there are areas where your comparative advantage is higher than some Nigerians ,so, your service would be needed in these areas. Nigerians are ready to pay for services as long as it will give them an edge. Nigeria societies are very competitive. As some Nigerians are moving out so many are moving back. I left Nigeria 20 years ago. I am now back with five of my friends who left almost the same time. Most Nigerians do reversed Migration. It is not always permanent. Remember, the major reason Nigerians migrate is to boost their finances. Credit is hard to get in Nigeria. Once they are able to raise some money most Nigerians move back. Nigerians are the major investors of their economy. I love your videos, and I wish you well living with us.❤❤❤

      wow. Wonderfully said. I say this all the time but most people think Nigerians migrate for other funny mediocre reasons. It's all about opportunities. Go to our international airports and see the amount of foreigners coming back to their jobs and businesses in Nigeria, as well those coming in for the first time to start one thing or the other. it's just that Nigerians are always loud about their migration activities..

    The key word here for anybody is for you not to listen to negative people when they are speaking because if you do you will not go far or archived your goal in life i bet you those commenting such comments have not been to Nigeria they hear from people who heard from people that have not been to Nigeria automatically draw conclusions, like they say the best thing to happen to you is experience if you have not lived or experienced a place don’t speak about it because there’s a greater chance that you will be 99.9 percent wrong,thanks you are doing great

      @@rachelpatrick12 Then use Oniru market, darling.
      It is on Akiogun Road. Right between Oniru (VI extention) and Lekki Phase 1.
      It is walled and has a footpath entry, so you might not see it at first attempt or when driving past, but it is there for groceries at cheap prices.
      Also, try and buy local brands. Many of your brands might be international, hence costly because they are imported and not made in Nigeria.

    I think that the title of this video is quite apt. There's nothing bad in you choosing to stay in Nigeria and encourage inter African migration. The same way we have many Nigerians living in Kenya, and even married to Kenyan women. Kenya is known to have the best wives in Africa, followed by Cameroon, Uganda and South Africa in that order, that is why many of you are married to Nigerians. I've been watching your videos, and I can see that you feel very comfortable in Nigeria. Hope you will learn how to eat snail and also pepper in your food. Snail is rich in essential minerals which promote blood formation. There are cases where the doctors recommended snail for anyone who is recuperating. Try from the wide range of Nigerian food, some of the nice dishes available, which you can get through cook books, or you invite the professionals to teach you Nigerian dishes

    • @rachelpatrick12

    Who says people are leaving Nigeria. Just because a few decided to look for better opportunities outside of the country doesn't amount to people leaving the country. The statistics do not support such notions. Foreigners from all over the world are also moving into Nigeria as well. There are so much misinformation about Nigeria out there especially the ones often propagated by those unpatriotic and irresponsible Nigerians who are only interested in seeing the country disintegrate.

    Even if half of Nigerians leave the country. Nigeria will still have a population of about 110 million people which is about some 10 African countries together. Also note that all the richest Nigerians and celebratirs were made in Nigeria not in America or Europe. It is middle and sometimes poor people that struggle to travel abroad either to African , Asia or European countries. It is a bitter truth. Rich Nigerians only travel abroad for holidays and some times medical trips as pride that they went abroad for medical treatment. Majority of Nigerians professionals abroad like medical doctors were trained in Nigerian universities and they are doing well abroad.
