I'm noy stuck abroad, I'm just making a rational instead of emotional decision. It's been over 37 years, got married here, got my education here and have 4 beautiful children here, where's home? HOME IS WHERE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.
You couldn't have said it better Summer! Facts overload! My families built houses in Nigeria daydreaming that someday they'd retire back to Nigeria, but unfortunately, all of this mansions are empty in portharcourt. My uncle and aunts have said for the past 10yrs now they're moving back to Nigeria, but they're still here ( USA). My aunt was kidnapped, when she visited Nigeria, bcus of that, my parents have literally banned me from visiting, they rather visit the US than let any of us go back to Nigeria......it's quit unfortunate everything you said is our reality
All ur point are correct sis summer, as for me i don't won't to be far from my children that's is my main point. secondly fixed electricity. Home is where u are comfortable... Seasons greeting sis summer.
I found wisdom and method to build what you would describe as a mansion in Nigeria. Could not afford to buy similar property abroad as would cost millions of dollars or Sterling or Euro. Not that I am rich but opportunity met planning and execution. I have my home abroad also but still paying mortgage and taxes. So in addition to building I bought lands for proposed Agricultural projects. All these investments are careful planning should I decide to return on retirement. If Nigerians don’t have a plan don’t expect to pack your bags and go to Nigeria and live like a King or Queen. You can finance your children abroad from good investments in Nigeria. So for me it’s medium to long term planning to find another way should things change. Even if I don’t return full time I have alternative. The fear about Nigeria is safety but God protects.
Home is where the heart is. In 2017 i visited Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, where I am from after 12 years, it didn’t feel like home and people kept telling me that I wasn’t really from there. so it didn’t feel like home, because people kept telling me I didn’t belong.
I never realized how difficult it was for people to go back home once they relocate abroad until watching this video. Thank you for the information. It was very helpful
im british born, jamaican parents living in the us for 32 years and still homesick, but my 5 children born here, own a home here and job for 30 years here. still call england home and even jamaica feels more like home than this country. you hit all the points with this vlog!
I have been Living in France for 35years and i will never go back and live in my country, i love my country, but i'm so happy with my family, thanks god for life.
*Fear is the most reason why people don't want to go back even people that live in Lagos don't want to travel to Villa because of fear of bad belle people*
This is the most honest post so far. My thoughts exactly you said it all so well. When you said Stuck I was like I am not stuck. But on listening to the vlog I can see why u used the word stuck. Yes I am probably STUCK IN UK. Happy New year Summer
So true Summer, you’re right. I recently went to Turkey for holiday and I felt so at home because of the warm welcome I received there. It felt so wired because it was like home away from home. Home to me is wherever I feel comfortable and received.
my dear lovely sis I hardly comment but do when ur vlog hits me😊 this was my topic today with my family and I was explaining to them how impossible it is for me to relocate mentioning the above points of urs but Honestly they don't get it and will not get it... but u know what- I feel at home here in Germany and that's the reason they call me German woman but who cares... i try to see things the way they are and I see the impossibility of me relocating home when I retire .....and I ask what about security, health insurance, Family (mean my kids) l will like to be around them .. infact l thank God for where I am now... am not rich but happy everyday..

I can’t agree more about what you said about not being rich. I’m also not rich but I have the things I need to live my simple life. Amen to that powerful prayer and Amen for you too.

I know some very close relations, in the 80's who returned home after their studies, they regretted till some of them passed away! Do you expect the children of such parents to come back to Nigeria if they manage to escape? NEVER. This is Nigeria!!!! Sad story. Summer, this topic leaves one with painful or joyful emotions, depending on personal experience. Merry Christmas.
A man said "going to Europe is like checking into a hospital, you know when you are entering but do not know when you will leave." "It's like getting into an African police station, you know when you went but not when you will leave"
Yesoo we're all stuck due to one reason or the other like you said, but sometimes we would have changed our mind at the end to go back home but the situations in Nigeria such as Evils and the rest of it has contributed in making us stuck the more.
Hi Summer, Thank you so much for such a good topic. You have tackled so many good points to why many people including myself feel stuck in Europe. Iam not from Nigeria but i would say there are so many similarities with almost all African countries including Zambia where i come from.
One of your best video as it hits home....some of us want to return home but as you mentioned, there are pros and cons if you you do decide to return home.....Above all, there is no place like home..
I came to Europe through study now I am working, I never feel am part of European society. I am still single. My plans are to have and train my children in Nigeria, after they turn 16 I bring them to study here. when I reach my retirement age I go back to Nigeria and settle down. They are so many peaceful cities in Nigeria more peaceful than Europe, you can as well settle there, Nigeria is not only Lagos. If you don’t miss home like people always say here, hope you don’t miss the food as well? Most people that are stuck in Europe are those ones that have children in Europe or outside Nigeria. I use people mistake to correct my future mistake. Nigeria real estate is very cheap compared to Europe or America. If you want to live a better life in Nigeria you have to plan for it. I hate to hear dem say dem say. I always go to Nigeria every year never missed one year since my 6years in Europe.
We think same that insecurity many of us are talking about i have never experience It i move night and day in Nigeria when i travel there i hv never find any problem u can live better in Nigeria if u have money to invest and plan i hate living here
My brother I have been trying to do this for a long time now,not that easy. Raising your kids in Nigeria till they turn 16,would be possible if you have some unique form of income; or you will be depending on others to raise them. But I admire you Witt in setting that plan rolling,i will get there someday.
*Yes summer Nwannem nwanyi Nigeria is super duper expensive menh a box of cereal 1500 Naira, toothpaste 1200 Naira but here on sale in NewYork doing sales you can get toothpaste in dollar tree for 1 dollar lolz and a box of corn flakes for $1.99 call me frugal but Naija hmmmm you have to go with alot of money*

all your points are valid...no home, standard of living but the most important for me is the kids part. it would be hard to leave them and go back alone or force them to come with you and they struggle to adapt. same as a friend i had in secondary school that was forced to move back, she really struggled and ev entually went back to the uk.😔
You just said the fact. I visited Nigeria last year with my kids,what I see was beyond my expectations. As I am now, am not even planning to go again. God bless you for this video.
All what you said is 100% correct, But living in europe at old age is not funny. Most nationalities go back to their origins at old age, it is better to plan ahead before then.
My mother sent home money to have house build but my sister who lives there let the person in charge steal the money. I won't be surprised if he gave her some of the money too. Because I don't have close family in Nigeria, I am wary about going back.
When i first came to America i said i'll relocate back to Nigeria in future. I just visited Nigeria in October and i don't think i would be able to live there with the way things are. Lots of things going on there that will make you not to go back. Though i miss Nigeria, but it won't be easy relocating back. You just said it all
Experiences are different: it's been 16 years that I'm in Europe, but trust me, when I'm in Homeland, I've never been in the hurry of returning in Europe, because the majority of my family is there.
Summer thanks for ds video two yrs ago i realized most of d pple relocated to Nigeria established a new biz has to close it down and come back to abroad because it was not just comfy for them to stay
What you said is right Summer, many of us have different reasons for not going home. I do visit Nigeria but whenever I am there I feel on edge because anything negative can happen to you when you talk of security. Most family want to rip you off, they keep wanting more even up to what you have on you. It frustrating sometimes....
Honestly my lovely sister Akunna you are 💯 right....if you have been used to the obodo oyibo system of life to go back to Africa is not easy...there was a friend of mine who went back home..while driving Naija police stop him...when he was trying to stand on his right there shotgun on him that was the end of the story...my dear lovely sister you are very right...the death of that guy is still putting fears on US....much love my beautiful sister😘
@@lydia8322 Yes off course my lovely sister...when the family was trying to fight for the case...gust what...the police man that shot him was transferred to another place immediately...the family was helpless that was the end of the case their now went and buried him....it was qaite unfortunate...Nigeria is very scaring to visit.
@@oguamanamisaac363 oh my goodness. I always said that Satan has his greatest throne in Nigeria That's why the citizen's heart is so pollut. among the millions christian there, only few is santified. I went last year my question was, why do they go to church? you can never trust anyone in Nigeria. They carry the bible to deceive people. May God Almighty confort the heart of the family. I hoping that surely God will visit Nigeria and sweep out the wicked from and their leaders from it. lets put Nigeria in prayer. God bless you dear brother
Summer nwannem you won't stop to amaze me with your good and up to date research. I only want to add that there used to be a time in Nigeria when Visa to come to Europe wasn't a problem,you were even awarded free scholarship to study in Europe and people were still reluctant. Good job,accommodation and mobility awaits you at the end of your studies. Education was free ,good health system, transportation and water services were available. Even if you came abroad, you wanted to return quickly. Naira used to be stronger than dollars. I don't want to waste your time with stories or history. The solution isn't far fetched. Vote people of today, that has the solution to today's problem, vote out analogue brains, this is digital age. Vote Sowore. Vote AAC. That is a good restarting point.
Story of my life my sister. I have started to accept the reality now especially as America is home to my children than Nigeria. It’s heartbreaking but it’s the reality. I used to say that if by any chance I die here they should take my body home, but now when I think about the cost and the fact that my children wont be able to visit my grave site as often as they would want to, I am beginning to be open to the alternative. It is sad that we all had to leave home to seek better lives abroad, and our children and whatever they become are losses to Nigeria.
With due respect, why look back of whom would visit your grave? Those children will move on in no time. I just pray to God for a long life with good health.
One other thing about going back to Naija is that the overall Chaos will suddenly feel uncivilised and you long for the more calm way of living. No more 2 hours of traffic each day to and from work in Lagos traffic. The colder weather in Europe can be more refreshing to the skin....less blemishings. Much less shouting in the street when shopping. It can be easier to sleep at night when you are not sweating. The city pollution from deisel fuel in Lagos gets into your clothes, your skin and your lungs. Also, less bribing to get things in Europe.
100% truth. Honestly I have always known I would never never return to Nigeria from the 1st day my mum took me from the UK to Nigeria in 1982. Once I came back in 1997 I knew I was home. Lol.
Ye thanks a lot,ur videos are expository.I love it.am a nurse working in Nigeria ,with comfortable pay.but am still struggling on making up my mind to relocate to UK ,or Canada. Basically am confotable with d job here and a business too.but am confuse.will it be a mistake to relocate and practice abroad ? Besides not married ,and am in my early 30s,please advice.thank u Summer
If you are planning to get married and start a familly, I would suggest you stay in Nigeria. Relocating and settling in a western country takes on average 8-10 years for those who are lucky.
My senior brother is there since 17years now,we don’t know if Italian mafia have killed him,we have decided to do his funeral but our mother no,Italy now is a joke no hope for the hopeless
Summer your analysis is correct. Good Job! I have a question for you though. Why do most Nigerians who have lived comfortably abroad all their adult life wish to be buried at home when they died? What is the correlation between a good life abroad and the transition to the Nigerian village to RIP? In the final analysis home is still the best place to build and plan for the final eternal REST
You are on point my sister. The country I left 30 years ago, no longer exists. It's the sad truth. I still hope to retire in Africa, whether it's Nideria it's another question? Thanks for shading light on this.
I'm not Nigerian but what you've said is true of most Africans stuck abroad. Particularly @9:52 and @10:31, the longer you stay, the more you become detached from people home. They move on and build new social connections and families whilst you also personally develop your own. You tend to have less in common and it becomes hard to fit in. And coming back home has the challenge of getting one established to a comfortable position that you are now accustomed to. And the environment in most cases is not as conducive to flourish in as one has gotten used to. Nonetheless, it is possible to relocate with time but not just waking up one day and say this month I will be relocating. Lol, welcome back home.
Hi Summer Thanks for shading light on this . It's not true for everybody. You don't move back home when you're in your 60s. For my family, we invested everything we made back home. We travel home quite often with the kids. They are going home for middle and part of high school. I know a family that did the same for their kids, those kids are now adults living in Abuja with very good jobs. They encouraged their parents to go home.
You're 17 years in Europe; imagine, am 32 years in the USA!! At times, l go home and live there 4 or 1 year/s but bcz of the disorderly autocratic regime, l come back again! *Bravo to you for this video* ; it was so educative, informative, candid!
So many factors that makes it difficult for me to return to Nigeria. ..number one is, I'm not patriotic enough to Nigeria and so many of us are not. Secondly Nigeria does not give a damm about me as it's citizen. A nation that has no citizens is not a nation. Thank you summer for this wonderful incite
Thats why we want Biafra bc it's gonna be one home to be hungry for and willing to go back to, a home away from home that Europe will have little or need to come to. ALL HAIL BIAFRA.
The fact is that you just went to school in Nigeria and then you immigrated. So out foreign you commenced living your life for yourself, through studying and working to study. Then you eventually got a house, established a family and are living your own life. So you commenced living your life really after you immigrated. Of course from there on that iss where you made YOUR home. In Nigeria you were part of your parents home, now in a different part of the world you are living your life in your own self chosen place of homestead where your life is now continuing. Well done !!!
U neild it sis home sweet home.but am passing my hard time here blc am here with out my kids now.I send them home blc of their education.and to be sincere hv not been myself ever since.
First i am not nigerian or even african. But 16 yrs ago i made decision to move from small city to bigger city for several reasons- education, church, life. And still after my dad has passed away and i am left from that church 13 yrs ago and gotten BA in that bigger city i do not see my future in that small city where i grow up. I hate small places. And i have too much bad school bullying memories from there too. So no way i go back.
My sister no place like home oo If the europians run away from their country maybe run to africa most of us will not have this paradise we are enjoying today, we need to go and take care of our country and make the best out of it. No place like home.
There are many Irish people permanently living in America and some Italians permanently living in France. It’s not an African thing. I also know of some white people who have remained in Nigeria and died in Nigeria. Look up Shielah Solarin She was a white woman who lived and died in ogun state.
Uche Offiah what abt all those millions n millions already back home, how come they not taking care of our countries,why does it has to b the few tht are aBROAD to go make A difference ,of coz no plaCE LIKE HOME THTS Y PPL abroad GO Back to visit...but we can aDmit life aBroaD is a bit easier compared to back home, coz one lots of jobs,good health care n much more.. a cleaner abroad can afford to rent a place but back home they can’t ,jus an example.
Narat adebago: go home and contribute ur own quarter, if showore had retire in america we won't have a 47 yrs old man contesting for presidential election, we all need to drive all this old cargos away from our politics.
I have been in 🇬🇭 once in 10 years hmmmmm Hello dear, great 👏👏👏👏, well done. 👍🏾👍🏾we are part of your family now and hope you can be part of our family too 🌹🌹🌹God richly bless you
I feel stuck too but I have a plan. I miss Nigeria despite its downsides. Living abroad has downsides too. If you have a debt free home great but few do. Ever wondered why multi-millionaires and billionaires have homes across the world? Because they don’t want to feel or get stuck physically as well due to taxation reasons. Despite relative stability of things abroad but there is no guarantee that will continue for ever. Remember the Jews in Germany during. 2nd world war? They lost untold. So an alternative plan is actually wisdom. I can do a seminar if that were possible for us to share ideas.
As Naiji born Londoner I think home in essence is the belonging and experiences shared with family not physically dwelling in a country. I can no longer call Nigeria home because all close relationship are deceased or left Nigeria.
You couldn't have said it better. Most of us here in U.S. we have houses back home even we built our retirement houses but we have come to realize that most of us will not got back and reside in Nigeria again due to most of the reasons you made mention of. For me because of basic infrastructures. Most of the women here said they will stay with their children why most of the men have plans to retire and go stay back home and be coming to visit our families here in US and also for medical check up. When my wife, my children and l visit Nigeria when we are tired of Nigeria and we are counting days to come back home. They will be asking us back in Nigeria why are we referring to America as our home instead of Nigeria. We tell them Nigeria is no longer our home.
There is never a place like home sister,, Yes is true that in terms of security , electricity, good roads, etc we are still learning, this is why these fews months to come are very decisive us as a Nation. Let's make the right choice for a better new Naija. The naija we can call home SWEET home! I understand you though , especially when under age kids are involved it's hard not to be stuck for some time. I missed good healthy food from the farm. I am sick and tired of all these OGM foods Europeans are feeding people with..
the issue with Nigerian roads isnt actually bad roads, though the roads are bad with average speed they are ok. The issue arises due to "one way" driving, reckless overspeeding and overall savage driving.
I'm noy stuck abroad, I'm just making a rational instead of emotional decision. It's been over 37 years, got married here, got my education here and have 4 beautiful children here, where's home? HOME IS WHERE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.
That’s exactly what I said.
Very true
A home is where you feel comfortable. Very TRUE 👍

You just said the fact. I visited Nigeria last year with my kids,what I see was beyond my expectations. As I am now, am not even planning to go again. God bless you for this video.
Yea Summer, that's it, you are right there.
I hate it when you have to know somebody for something.,and they're not ready. to learn,nor change..intact ,they'll frustrate you...
Merry Christmas to you and your family
All what you said is 100% correct,
But living in europe at old age is not funny. Most nationalities go back to their origins at old age, it is better to plan ahead before then.
Biafra will make us feel at home soon
Akachukwu Stanley shut up! That’s not what we are talking about
Summer happy new year in advance, Old age is not good for obodo Oyinbo God bless Nigeria.
A Lawal Obodo Oyibo not Oyinbo
So true. Bless you.
Happy boxing day summer. Fact well said
Same to you ❤️
My dear you are right home is where you live and feel comfortable.
My mother sent home money to have house build but my sister who lives there let the person in charge steal the money. I won't be surprised if he gave her some of the money too. Because I don't have close family in Nigeria, I am wary about going back.
When i first came to America i said i'll relocate back to Nigeria in future. I just visited Nigeria in October and i don't think i would be able to live there with the way things are. Lots of things going on there that will make you not to go back.
Though i miss Nigeria, but it won't be easy relocating back.
You just said it all
True talk my sister God bless you
Just to add..home is where u r making ur living.I am from cameroon.It remains a distant place....not home.
@Isaiah Kyuga hahaha..Hapoy new year!
@Isaiah Kyuga you're pathetic
Experiences are different: it's been 16 years that I'm in Europe, but trust me, when I'm in Homeland, I've never been in the hurry of returning in Europe, because the majority of my family is there.
Am tired of staying abroad, am stuck in here,no money to go back, I miss my country Nigeria
Do you re do your hair?
Av watch most of your videos with this same hair.
Just asking tho😙
You are correct summer, but home is always home. I know its very hard when you have been out for a long time. But your point is well taken.
Summer thanks for ds video two yrs ago i realized most of d pple relocated to Nigeria established a new biz has to close it down and come back to abroad because it was not just comfy for them to stay
What you said is right Summer, many of us have different reasons for not going home. I do visit Nigeria but whenever I am there I feel on edge because anything negative can happen to you when you talk of security.
Most family want to rip you off, they keep wanting more even up to what you have on you.
It frustrating sometimes....
all nigerians can go and stay,but for me am not going back to stay,i may go for visite but not to stay...I LOVE MY LIFE.
😂😂😂😂 Me too! I nor stay ooo
Hahahaha
Honestly my lovely sister Akunna you are 💯 right....if you have been used to the obodo oyibo system of life to go back to Africa is not easy...there was a friend of mine who went back home..while driving Naija police stop him...when he was trying to stand on his right there shotgun on him that was the end of the story...my dear lovely sister you are very right...the death of that guy is still putting fears on US....much love my beautiful sister😘
My brother, just like that? I feel sorry for his family.
@@lydia8322 Yes off course my lovely sister...when the family was trying to fight for the case...gust what...the police man that shot him was transferred to another place immediately...the family was helpless that was the end of the case their now went and buried him....it was qaite unfortunate...Nigeria is very scaring to visit.
The nigerians i see SPEAKING ON NIJA TV STATIONS ARE SO BACKWARD N INSANE FROM FAKE RELIGIONS.
@@oguamanamisaac363 oh my goodness. I always said that Satan has his greatest throne in Nigeria That's why the citizen's heart is so pollut. among the millions christian there, only few is santified. I went last year my question was, why do they go to church? you can never trust anyone in Nigeria. They carry the bible to deceive people. May God Almighty confort the heart of the family. I hoping that surely God will visit Nigeria and sweep out the wicked from and their leaders from it. lets put Nigeria in prayer. God bless you dear brother
Summer nwannem you won't stop to amaze me with your good and up to date research. I only want to add that there used to be a time in Nigeria when Visa to come to Europe wasn't a problem,you were even awarded free scholarship to study in Europe and people were still reluctant. Good job,accommodation and mobility awaits you at the end of your studies. Education was free ,good health system, transportation and water services were available. Even if you came abroad, you wanted to return quickly. Naira used to be stronger than dollars. I don't want to waste your time with stories or history. The solution isn't far fetched. Vote people of today, that has the solution to today's problem, vote out analogue brains, this is digital age. Vote Sowore. Vote AAC. That is a good restarting point.
Story of my life my sister. I have started to accept the reality now especially as America is home to my children than Nigeria. It’s heartbreaking but it’s the reality. I used to say that if by any chance I die here they should take my body home, but now when I think about the cost and the fact that my children wont be able to visit my grave site as often as they would want to, I am beginning to be open to the alternative. It is sad that we all had to leave home to seek better lives abroad, and our children and whatever they become are losses to Nigeria.
I think we simply have to accept the reality of things. Let’s simply enjoy the life we have and try not to worry. Let the will of God be done.
With due respect, why look back of whom would visit your grave? Those children will move on in no time. I just pray to God for a long life with good health.
One other thing about going back to Naija is that the overall Chaos will suddenly feel uncivilised and you long for the more calm way of living. No more 2 hours of traffic each day to and from work in Lagos traffic. The colder weather in Europe can be more refreshing to the skin....less blemishings. Much less shouting in the street when shopping. It can be easier to sleep at night when you are not sweating. The city pollution from deisel fuel in Lagos gets into your clothes, your skin and your lungs. Also, less bribing to get things in Europe.
Aunty im loving these sweaters#classics
You said it all summer. Thanks
Kenya is getting scary each day! Am also thinking of building in #Ghana! Very saddening
Madam make a plan to go home. There’s no place like home
100% truth. Honestly I have always known I would never never return to Nigeria from the 1st day my mum took me from the UK to Nigeria in 1982. Once I came back in 1997 I knew I was home. Lol.
That electricity and corruption ehn am so scared of it
Was warned AFRICA WILL REMOVE THE SKIN FROM MY ARMS..
God bless you.
Please you can power your house with solar - why is electricity a show stopper in 2020?
Ye thanks a lot,ur videos are expository.I love it.am a nurse working in Nigeria ,with comfortable pay.but am still struggling on making up my mind to relocate to UK ,or Canada. Basically am confotable with d job here and a business too.but am confuse.will it be a mistake to relocate and practice abroad ? Besides not married ,and am in my early 30s,please advice.thank u Summer
If you are planning to get married and start a familly, I would suggest you stay in Nigeria. Relocating and settling in a western country takes on average 8-10 years for those who are lucky.
My senior brother is there since 17years now,we don’t know if Italian mafia have killed him,we have decided to do his funeral but our mother no,Italy now is a joke no hope for the hopeless
The last point made me somehow sad
Summer your analysis is correct. Good Job! I have a question for you though. Why do most Nigerians who have lived comfortably abroad all their adult life wish to be buried at home when they died? What is the correlation between a good life abroad and the transition to the Nigerian village to RIP?
In the final analysis home is still the best place to build and plan for the final eternal REST
You are on point my sister. The country I left 30 years ago, no longer exists. It's the sad truth. I still hope to retire in Africa, whether it's Nideria it's another question? Thanks for shading light on this.
I'm not Nigerian but what you've said is true of most Africans stuck abroad. Particularly @9:52 and @10:31, the longer you stay, the more you become detached from people home. They move on and build new social connections and families whilst you also personally develop your own. You tend to have less in common and it becomes hard to fit in. And coming back home has the challenge of getting one established to a comfortable position that you are now accustomed to. And the environment in most cases is not as conducive to flourish in as one has gotten used to. Nonetheless, it is possible to relocate with time but not just waking up one day and say this month I will be relocating. Lol, welcome back home.
Hi
Summer
Thanks for shading light on this . It's not true for everybody. You don't move back home when you're in your 60s. For my family, we invested everything we made back home. We travel home quite often with the kids. They are going home for middle and part of high school. I know a family that did the same for their kids, those kids are now adults living in Abuja with very good jobs. They encouraged their parents to go home.
You're 17 years in Europe; imagine, am 32 years in the USA!! At times, l go home and live there 4 or 1 year/s but bcz of the disorderly autocratic regime, l come back again!
*Bravo to you for this video* ; it was so educative, informative, candid!
So many factors that makes it difficult for me to return to Nigeria. ..number one is, I'm not patriotic enough to Nigeria and so many of us are not. Secondly Nigeria does not give a damm about me as it's citizen. A nation that has no citizens is not a nation. Thank you summer for this wonderful incite
True talk but Hmmmmh! I love that people return to their base at old age at least.
Summer you have a point there.
Thats why we want Biafra bc it's gonna be one home to be hungry for and willing to go back to, a home away from home that Europe will have little or need to come to. ALL HAIL BIAFRA.
You are absolutely right
yeah....truly
u are absolutely right .
Thank you sis you can say that again😘🎁
Abi oo
With the situation in my country now even Christmas holiday is risky
You are very correct summer
The fact is that you just went to school in Nigeria and then you immigrated. So out foreign you commenced living your life for yourself, through studying and working to study. Then you eventually got a house, established a family and are living your own life. So you commenced living your life really after you immigrated. Of course from there on that iss where you made YOUR home. In Nigeria you were part of your parents home, now in a different part of the world you are living your life in your own self chosen place of homestead where your life is now continuing. Well done !!!
U neild it sis home sweet home.but am passing my hard time here blc am here with out my kids now.I send them home blc of their education.and to be sincere hv not been myself ever since.
Hop u guys abroad will deal wt these points nd come back home to enjoy home. Summer nwannem no place like home.
U are very correct
How many years?
First i am not nigerian or even african. But 16 yrs ago i made decision to move from small city to bigger city for several reasons- education, church, life. And still after my dad has passed away and i am left from that church 13 yrs ago and gotten BA in that bigger city i do not see my future in that small city where i grow up. I hate small places. And i have too much bad school bullying memories from there too. So no way i go back.
My sister no place like home oo
If the europians run away from their country maybe run to africa most of us will not have this paradise we are enjoying today, we need to go and take care of our country and make the best out of it. No place like home.
There are many Irish people permanently living in America and some Italians permanently living in France. It’s not an African thing. I also know of some white people who have remained in Nigeria and died in Nigeria. Look up Shielah Solarin
She was a white woman who lived and died in ogun state.
Yes summer, I still prefer my country I still believe in nigeria we need to contribute what we can to make it grt, thanks though for the video.
Uche Offiah what abt all those millions n millions already back home, how come they not taking care of our countries,why does it has to b the few tht are aBROAD to go make A difference ,of coz no plaCE LIKE HOME THTS Y PPL abroad GO Back to visit...but we can aDmit life aBroaD is a bit easier compared to back home, coz one lots of jobs,good health care n much more.. a cleaner abroad can afford to rent a place but back home they can’t ,jus an example.
Hmmm but how can pple go home and fix what these old fools keep recycling among themselves who can beat that all that shit going on in Africa
Narat adebago: go home and contribute ur own quarter, if showore had retire in america we won't have a 47 yrs old man contesting for presidential election, we all need to drive all this old cargos away from our politics.
I have been in 🇬🇭 once in 10 years hmmmmm Hello dear, great 👏👏👏👏, well done. 👍🏾👍🏾we are part of your family now and hope you can be part of our family too 🌹🌹🌹God richly bless you
You are very right 😎
I feel stuck too but I have a plan. I miss Nigeria despite its downsides. Living abroad has downsides too. If you have a debt free home great but few do. Ever wondered why multi-millionaires and billionaires have homes across the world? Because they don’t want to feel or get stuck physically as well due to taxation reasons. Despite relative stability of things abroad but there is no guarantee that will continue for ever. Remember the Jews in Germany during. 2nd world war? They lost untold. So an alternative plan is actually wisdom. I can do a seminar if that were possible for us to share ideas.
As Naiji born Londoner I think home in essence is the belonging and experiences shared with family not physically dwelling in a country. I can no longer call Nigeria home because all close relationship are deceased or left Nigeria.
Exactly my point.
Who do you go home (Nigeria) to when the people that mattered are all gone.
Weldon always on top it keep it on child of God.
Thank you
You couldn't have said it better. Most of us here in U.S. we have houses back home even we built our retirement houses but we have come to realize that most of us will not got back and reside in Nigeria again due to most of the reasons you made mention of. For me because of basic infrastructures. Most of the women here said they will stay with their children why most of the men have plans to retire and go stay back home and be coming to visit our families here in US and also for medical check up. When my wife, my children and l visit Nigeria when we are tired of Nigeria and we are counting days to come back home. They will be asking us back in Nigeria why are we referring to America as our home instead of Nigeria. We tell them Nigeria is no longer our home.
Nice one ❤
So very true
For me, home is where I lay my head
There is never a place like home sister,, Yes is true that in terms of security , electricity, good roads, etc we are still learning, this is why these fews months to come are very decisive us as a Nation. Let's make the right choice for a better new Naija. The naija we can call home SWEET home! I understand you though , especially when under age kids are involved it's hard not to be stuck for some time. I missed good healthy food from the farm. I am sick and tired of all these OGM foods Europeans are feeding people with..
the issue with Nigerian roads isnt actually bad roads, though the roads are bad with average speed they are ok. The issue arises due to "one way" driving, reckless overspeeding and overall savage driving.
Thanks for sharing dear
This is very serious, but I'LL never die here in white mans land
I will die here oooo! In case if second life dey, I go pass obodo oyido come life ooo
Yes, many of us are 100% stuck in aboard.
I have been here four years now I miss home my was documents now I have everything I need to travel I can visit now going soon ,just for a visit tho
Me too. Just got back from Nigeria
