Yeah. We get so homesick thinking of how "things were" and not realising as we've grown, so also have those we left behind. And not always in a positive way. They're so dangerous. So sad
My advice to Nigerians living in Diaspora You need to accept the truth that you are no longer Nigetian culturally, orientation wise etc. You're now the new country you've lived all these years. It's hard to relate to Nigerians after living so long abroad. Ask them. Nigerians on Nigeria even treat you as a foreigner.
Also be careful of those stupid family members who go around to brag about their brother/ sister who lives abroad. Their stupidity has often instigated this type of attack without them knowing. Criminals get information through various means including loud mouthed braggart family members. I am speaking from experience here. Be careful of that family member that has bad friends. Criminals will get you through him.
True!!! Even if you're a low-key kinda person, some close friends and family whose nature it is, can go bragging and unintentionally, provide information to people with "criminal minds" who can wreck havoc.
Nigeria is not a place to settle or go for vacation. You come back more stressed than when you left. I always say this. People spend time here telling us to go back. Go back where? How can you head to place you will be locked up behind iron gates 24/7 and only venture out with security? Nigeria is a failed state. Period. Go there at your own risk.
@Fol A On the contrary, if you are rich, you are a target for criminals in Nigeria. Again, where is the quality of life? You have all that money and there are no good roads, noise pollution from generator and churches,etc. If you have money in Nigeria you are under the illusion that you are enjoying but you are still suffering.
@Fol A Brother believe me I am talking from experience. I am one of those who always planned to go back. I invested heavily back there as well. Today I cant wait to sell off everything and re-invest where I live. BTW what security are you talking about? The very security men will almost always plan evil for you. All based on experience bro.
@Fol A Can you believe on a different comment thread on this video, I am being attacked for suggesting people should get security when travelling to naija. The other person thinks its better to trust God than to get security. @Fol A to answer your question, Yes. ensure you are properly secured whenever you travel. It also depends on the area. Some places are relatively safer. Security does not necessarily mean getting big hefty people guarding you. It can mean keeping a low profile and letting trusted people be aware of your movements. I am not trying to scare you but its obvious that there are no laws protecting the ordinary person in Nigeria.
Last two years I was in Nigeria to celebrate the Christmas and new year 2018 with my family and friends unfortunately the 6st day of the year I ran to lagos in a hotel to spend the rest of the days before flying back to Europe because of the movement of my 35 year old son wasn't clear to me while my younger brother was even planning something else they'll cried and weep badly when they called me I told them I have something important doing in lagos and I'll be with them in few days that was how I left them...Liars and evil family 26 years ago I left Nigeria I am just like Meghan markle who took friends like family I'm sorry my family are TOXIC it's so sad and heartbroken no one to trust in the family
May his blood be on those that killed him and may his spirit continue to hunt the killers all the days of their life and may they not know any peace till they enter the grave ijn. Amen
You help na wahala you no help na wahala....That sense of entitlement is a killer virus spreading through most 9ja in 9ja. They killed people for 1,000 naira only life is worthless.
omoniyikaye u talkam like I think. I be cameroonian and stay abroad eh, family no go leave we save. The sad thing too na say when u look back, them too dey suffer. But them no di want listen to us as we talk to them. Any money sent back home goes into water. Chaiiii
The question that always stroke my heart is , is he the only one ☝️ coming from diaspora to settle in Nigeria 🇳🇬 or Ikorodu ? There are so many diasporas who have come from abroad and successfully settled in Nigeria without been obliterated.Na who know man dey kill man!!!! His killers are his close ones.R.I.P
This should not been happening to no one working hard in another country for so many years through blood, sweat and tears and meet an end like this , it is heart breaking not only in Nigeria but this is also going on in the Caribbean as well, why black people so selfish and disgusting towards our own people like this ,it is really sad.
@@ao5624 so true but it is just leading in destruction year in year out without any good process the sad part of it many cannot see and come to their senses.
@@cardinalsentinel-removingt5990 I'm really starting to think that this is the case! I am not Nigerian but I was just on Paris Milan's channel watching a video about an African American 21 year old girl who was killed by some jealous people in her neighborhood. She had become a success story and they didn't like that. It seems to be an epidemic worldwide. I had no idea that the same situations are happening in Nigeria as well! It really is a shame.
Wow, this is so sad. I am still shaken by this terrible news. Mr. Mutiu was my Dad's friend, who was an accountant. He was assisting me in trying to connect me to get an accounting job. He was such a nice and humble man. May God comfort his family in His bosom through this sad time. May his soul rest in peace.
The kind of crime that's coming from Naija these days, Devil himself dey fear us. Is it crime from Pastors you want talk about or family talkless of friends.
This targeting returnees is also common in the caribbean. Many of our elders retired back in the 90’s onwards after working hard in the UK for 30/40 years. They sold their UK houses. Gave their kids some money from the sale to help them buy. Once back they get targeted. People do not see them as their own any more because of the years spent living abroad. Many also realised going back on holidays and returning to retire was not the same experience. I notice what the next generation of returnees have done is to return back but to a different island where people do not know them and they can live in peace in the sun. Jamaican retires will go to Grenada etc. My neighbour is but he and his wife are returning to the Gambia. Its safer for them, and also their family in the UK, like grandkids etc will feel safer there when visiting them. So folks Africa is a big continent, you dont must have to retire to Nigeria to reap the benefits of the African continent. Travel around the continent whilst you are in your best years and then decide, which country will best for you and those relatives who will visit you in your retirement home 🙏🏽
It doesn't matter which country you leave in Africa, if evil people is after you they will go to anywhere to make it happens........their was a guy in Toronto of Ethiopian decent that won a lottery of 11m dollars. He went back to his country this summer and somebody set me up. He was murder in Ethiopia in his own home for no reason.
Truthmatter by Ola dada That is not the point. The point is different countries have differently developed security and systems that meet the needs of retirees. Of course there is dysfunctional people everywhere but we still have live and live in the place that will best mitigate against risks. Be wise because what you need to live in your middle and older years can never be the same as when you were living in and left your home country in your 20/30’s.
I m just confused as to why anyone will give this video a thumbs down 😓 Wow! May the soul of the departed rest in peace. The thought of visiting my parents even scares me let alone moving back for whatever reason. Where I lay my head is my home oh.
Sad to say, we have this problem in Jamaica as well. Envy and murder is a sin as stated in the Bible. The culprit will pay for their crime, that is certain. May his soul rest in peace and condolences to his family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks Frank for the great things you are doing. I meet this baba sometime 6 months ago 2019 in Brooklyn NYC at a place called Governor where Nigerians of Yoruba extraction and some igbo brothers always meet to unwind. Its so sad that Nigeria our people back home in Nigeria always wish us bad. Why would anyone kill an old man for heaven sake? Am a young man in my late 30s and its because of the evil of our people to run away from home. These evil people arr the ones that will always tell you to retire back home but its now clear its so that they can kill you.
This is so sad. In Jamaica over the past few years there has been a rash of murders of retirees returning home to live out their remaining years in the land of their birthplace. Unfortunately too, many of them have spent 20, 30, 40 years working abroad (UK, USA Canada) saving their money ir send their money back to JA to build their dream home to reside in. The unfortunate part is in their absence the community has changed not necessarily for the better. You see when they return home, they face a younger community people who know nothing about them other than the returnees lived abroad for many many years. And the mindset is "oh, they live abroad so long, they build house to come and retire in..." that statement alone means they assume you return with loads,if money which in most cases the returnee do have a nice amount saved and when converted to JA$ its like hitting the jackpot. So when the returnees arrive, everybody happy to see them, laugh and smile with them. But unbeknownst these elderly people are either scammed out if their money, beat up and robbed or even worse killed and burned in their own home. And those that kill them are NOT only strangers.... it's their own family too. We live in some serious times when you cant trust your own people☹☹☹
@remo gaji my friend jamaicans do that whenever they migrate to. Some of them well come across that they are smarter than than the natives of the country where they migrate to.
I will retire in Nigeria. If you plan to retire in Nigeria try to travel often to have a feel of the things happening or that have changed while U are abroad hurstling.
@@thezorani Great. and another advice will be, don't live far away from a busy town, I will rather save and buy a house in ikoyi or VI if I must live in Lagos, just for the security.
I was on the Phone with a relative who is back home. I mention to him that I wanted to move back home from the USA. HE told me not to move back because they will kill me. He never told me who will kill me, mind you, I am struggling here in the USA.
It is never a good idea to share your intentions with anyone, no one knows my movement or my intentions, I am very discreet and secretive in my movement and my plans, I have learnt to be diplomatic with people because I don't owe them the truth anyway.
@@mko9110 FACTS! this is where we black people fail. We are always talking and putting out our plans and secrets and including everyone. This is one of the reasons why we as African people Can't progress. The whites make decisions behind closed doors. By the time you learn of their plans, they are already in effect.
Nothing wrong with sharing your goals and dreams with the next man. That same person could help you out or connect you to someone or give you ideas to better reach your goals. That's how it should always be amongst humans. The problem is not you but them and their devious ways. It's sad
He is right . It’s sad but the truth. People are wicked , dangerous , greedy. Honestly I can’t wait to leave naija with my family, even family members are toxic
I’m 50: percent Nigerian& 50 percent Ghanaian, but my Nigerian side of my family is greedy and selfish and would be willing to kill me for everything I get! I’m from Ilorin In Kwara state!, Don’t judge me wrong , my family from Ghana are not Engel, but they will not kill you for money!
That’s what I say as well@Tobi Adeniji it is not a place paved with gold. Most of them would not be as generous with their hard earned money. When you send it to them to either learn a skill or set up a trade/business for themselves it flops. No shame in asking for another amount of money. When you don’t send it the hatred starts. Lost count and now minding my own business. When they are the ones with bad roads, no electricity, schools, hospitals. Trying to help them stand up and survive. I know my own children will not help and are busy with their own lives.
Tobi Adeniji - That’s the thing. Someone need to start a campaign that shows how people struggle to make money in the west. So, people can know that it can even be harder than Nigeria sometimes.
I hope the people of Ikorodu and the Police should flush out the robbers. However, l want people to know that non indigenes are more than indigenes in Ikorodu. The probability is high that he was killed by non family member/non indigene
I consider myself a proud Nigerian. However, I am realistic- I have been out of the country working and scraping for 26 years and do not pretend to be an expert about what is on the ground in Nigeria. Healthcare in my declining years?? How will I sustain myself? Why would I retire to a place where I do not feel safe? The few times I have visited I have had to be hyper-aware of my surroundings. I also did not visit family members (at their request) so what was the use? I travel to other countries- it costs me less, I have a good time, I feel relatively safe and I DO NOT NEED A VISA (those of you in the US that have ever applied for a visa or passport renewal know what I am talking about), and more importantly no one asks me silly questions at the airport. I have not finished paying off my house here so why would I build one I will not live in? So, those of you that keep telling me to "come back home" I am already home.
@Lola Odusanya, this is not an advice to move back to Nigeria because I believe that is a very personal choice. I retired back to Nigeria almost a year ago now after spending 33 continuous years in the USA. There are many of us here that came back from the USA either permanently like me or splitting time. There's no issue in Nigeria that can not be mitigated, mostly. We have adequate hospitals/clinics here in Nigeria. Safety is relative. Not out to convince e you but you might be doing yourself a disfavor with some of your viewpoints about Nigeria. Have a happy new year. "A ma ku sajo o" We will not die in a foreign land, spoken in Ijebu Ode dialect.
You are a shame.... Do the poor chinese, europeans, indians, lebanese moving to Nigeria and making a fortune complaining about ''feeling safe''... While you are here talking nonsense they are making buisness partners in Nigeria who will make them millions.
Glad you talking about this! Sad thing is people are too afraid to talk about this! This is Very True! They praying for your demise! They are Plotting! Disturbing!
My mum has been poisoned right before my eyes she was dying on our way bk to the airport to head bk to the UK. Thank God my uncle driving us to the airport has an antidote in his house, he drove us to his house where an antidote was applied before she was able to vomit the poison. We ended up missing our flight! The idea was for her to fall sick on the plane and die but thank God it was not in the plane. I don't mix with anyone or eat or drink on let anything am going to consume be handled my any family in Nigeria. They are all hungry and they can kill u for your money.
A O I was in Nigeria, South East to be specific. My aunt took great care of me. She cooked the food herself for me to eat. She told me not to date take any food from anyone and also not to take any food items back to USA for anyone. I was very cautious around Lagos during my visit. In Aba, I did not leave my compound eccept to attend church. It is just not safe. I never broadcast to anyone my plans to travel to Nigeria.
Not the exact same situation but a Congolese man living in Ireland, was poisoned by his own mum and brother, when he visited them and announced that he was marrying his long term partner who was living in Congo. The thought of this woman living in the house he owned was too much for them and they killed him. Mind you this was a man of 50+ years who I personally saw cleaning toilets and cutting hair for €5 to make money while waiting for his asylum case to be processed. He died a prolonged death because of greed.
@@oshunyt Unfortunately yes. People from the Congolese community here were collecting money to bring him back to Ireland for medical treatment before the cause of his illness was known. Even the man wasn't aware at the beginning of what was happening, he finally died in Congo but not before he managed to tell people the truth. It's beyond comprehension how someone can do that to anyone talk less of their close relative. I'm assuming he was sending money home too because he worked hard, seriously.
@@Phrankleen13 Yes, We grew up together in Maryland before he moved to NYC. Such a tragic story my brother, some of our people back home are just evil.
So when you are done facing unwarranted war with the world while living abroad, you will still return home to face war with your own people. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 If they can channel their hates and envy towards their corrupt leaders and criminals living among them and free their daughters and sons living abroad, it would even be better for them!
So true..after reading what's happening in Jamaica..I truly agree with u ..why go after people returning home ..the government is to blame for the countries poverty..not returning residents..I just dont understand how people can kill innocent people !!!
This is really sad. Heartfelt condolences to the family. What you are saying is also very true. It is usually people in one's network. The main motivators are usually jealousy, envy and greed. And they use the poor people to carry out their devious plans. The fact that they burnt him was to destroy evidence which can lead back to them. That kindness you mention has also put some of us in problem. Because you stretch out your hand to help they think you have a lot. They don't know it's sacrifice.
This story scared 😦 me ,,,sometimes people in the diaspora kill and rob one another too , the Nigerians back home are just a tool which is being used to perpetuate such crimes RIP to the Man 😪
Am so worried about the kind of behaviours of people over there. Even my siblings always complain about the way some distance relative do behave. Am going there next month nd my kids said dey won't b going with me because dey feel nigeria is too dangerous. I feel so bad dat nigeria has become a war zone. If one don't hear of kidnapping u hear of witches or armed robbers or police stealing from people.
Innocent people in Nigeria? I doubt that. Please if you are A NIGERIAN, dont go home unless you know all the trickery, be very careful, but will advice to do your home work.
Preach Brother Preach ... They are very evil there ... I have just been conned out of 150, 000 dollars by my siblings in Ghana !!!! I live in England and although I knew that people over there were wicked, I never thought that this would ever happen to me !!! I am almost suicidal
I think often, after spending years abroad Nigerians tend to forget why/what state they left the country. Nigeria isn't really a place to go back home and retire in unfortunately.
I was saddened to read this incident. It's such a great loss to the family and to those of us who moved back to Nigeria in terms of encouraging others to follow suit, it's a setback. Now, this is not a rampant type of crime. Based on my research and information from other sources, this was not an armed robbery but a targeted execution or reprisal for a perceived comeuppance. Armed robbers don't burn victims vehicles that they can sell or part out. Whatever it was shouldn't have escalated to this level. Some quick bits of advice based on some of the knee jerk reactionary comments I read. Nigeria is not completely in dire straits as postured on here. We are not dodging bullets around or cowering from robbers while pissing ourselves. Life goes on. Businesses and creativity happens, I am most proud of the youths who are making things happen in technology in this country. A lot of American franchises are here from technology, entertainment and hospitality. Living in Nigeria requires awareness just as when I lived in Los Angeles. As to investments, it makes no sense to invest in Nigeria and then turn around to want to convert the money to US dollars, makes no sense. Many people have hundreds of millions in real estate investment from diaspora in Nigeria. You keep the investments in Nigeria to help the Nigeria economy. It's not for everyone. Some choose to invest where they live in the USA or wherever but that doesn't mean that investing in Nigeria is bad. There's such a housing shortfall Nigeria, at least in major cities that tenants will line up as soon as you start building. Good luck to all of us and may our favors and protection find us wherever we are.
Nawa o..hi phrankleen tx 4 sharin dis.wich way Nigerian..wich way 2 go..we love our fatherland..keep hopin & believin on God one day e go beter ..cheers👍
Majority of diasporaians or people who school and go back to naija and in media. Be it journalism, radio, vlogging etc they are at the forefront of influencing the masses on the struggle people face here and how hard is it to work and safe and resettle. To change that entitled mindset of most of the people. Instead they add unto it by showing their flashy cars and exotic vacations and designer purchases. Increasing the envy and cut throat mindset of the fellow ignorant people. SAD it's time for people to use their platforms to change this mindsets mehn. People are mental out there.
So sad I don't no why nigeria is becoming something else lately. People are so damm jealous expecially close frnds nd relatives. I don't no why dey can't just take their eyes off someone's else's properties.
🇯🇲 Is another place too. People return home and getting killed like crazy, I want to go back and live, but decided that I will choose somewhere else because the level of badmind in some of our people is not normal.
Thank you for the Video and the information, So sad to hear what happened to this man and many other families in Africa. Unfortunately money and wealth attracts evil. I’m shocked from this news, because we need each other soooo…… badly! I understand that we cannot succeed without caring for each other. We are already in a world that does not respect and values black people. What kind of world do we want to live in as black people? I dream of African leaders and adults that will be mindful of each other so that they, we together, will create opportunities for each other to have the necessary materially and a conscience that is balanced to live life that is dignified for us as black people. Peace, and Keep up the good work.
People abroad should stop designating family members or friends to manage their projects. Just visit yourself and be your own project manager while elect a construction company and ensure you absolutely keep the project a secret from everyone you know period.
What a tragedy! May his soul rest in peace. May God give his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. Lastly, may the perpetrators of this evil act be brought to book in no distant future. Unfortunately, it's a lose-lose situation for the diasporan. If you give, you're damned. If you don't, you're damned. To them back home, you're stingy. May the good Lord continue to protect us. Please be watchful! Thanks for the words of wisdom, Phrankleen. He that has ears, let him hear.
I usually say once you leave the shores of Nigeria to anywhere, what you just did is to paint a target on your back. Be ready for the shots. Unfortunately you never know until you start "giving back" out of trying to help. The very first money you sent home, is the signal for people to start shooting.
Thank you so much for the advice in this video. My condolences to the family of the MAN. RIP. May God help us. This is why most of us live as many years as possible in Europe, USA, ASIA without thinking about going back home because of the BAD securities we have in NIGERIA. May God save us all from this.......
My wife’s 94 year old father 50 years in Liverpool UK was kidnapped in his village organised by the son of a relative they have been supporting. The Old boy was arranging to help the boy learn a trade/fund a small business to help the boy support his ageing mother. The 94 year old was held in captivity four a week urinated on and beaten to extract money out of his family. Luckily, his politically connected relatives and my wife used their local MP to pressure the police to track down the kidnappers via this young man’s phone. During the kidnap episode the young man ran errands for my wife’s mum, thus enabling him to keep his accomplices informed. The old boy still has eye problems till today from being blind folded for a week, with no access to his high blood pressure tablets.
Not only can it be family or extended family or friends, it's also neighbors, house help or security. It has come to the point of even bank managers and tellers will see how much you have and they will send thugs to rob and kill you. It's going on all across the continent. God help our poor souls.
This is why a lot of people living abroad don't move back home. This is happening in other melinated countries. Considering those countries are milking so much from those working abroad. I would NOT send unlimited $ back home making them dependent. They don't even try. They wait on your hard earned. It's getting out of hand
Anyone that have hands in killing of human beings,,those wicked people shall also will die very soon by sword,,and fire arms and the generations of those wicked people shall be destroy from this world very soon....Tell a wicked people that it shall not well with them and their children and generations...Amen..
Nigeria! Nigeria! Nigeria! How many times did I call your name?...mhmmm. Nigeria has a big issue o! God will judge you all. However in Ghana, I follow young Americans women walking and videoing in rural areas sometimes on their own no harm comes to them...why every time you hear this dark stories is always from Nigeria e.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e? Shame and God will judge them all. Amen
ALL THIS BAD BEHAVIOUR AND MURDER DOES NOT MAKE GOD BLESS A NATION AND NO MATTER HOW RICH NATURALLY ENDOWED A NATION IS, SUCH ACTS OF CRIME AND WICKEDNESS DOES NOT BRING BLESSINGS TO A NATION.
@oceej0 WHAT AMAZES ME IS THE CLAIM THAT NIGERIA HAS THE BEST PASTORS IN THE WORLD WITH LARGE CONGREGATIONS IN NIGERIA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. IF SO, WHY THE UTTER WICKEDNESS AND EVIL BEHAVIOUR?????? ARE THE PASTORS AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY AND ARE THEY CONCERNED AND CRYING AND PRAYING TO GOD TO REDEEM AND HEAL THE NATION?????? ONE IS INCLINED TO ASK HOWEVER. ARE THESE PASTORS WORSHIPPERS OF OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH OR WORSHIPPNG SATAN AND DEMONS, IN THE GUISE OF CHURCHES, HENCE THESE CALAMITIES ON NIGERIA?????????
I ve come to realise we Afŕicans are living with and amongst Demons even worse than Demons, how do people shop up an old defencless man than set him on fire. My late mother always said we Africans iur hearts are dark and black like ourselves. I dnt know this man but amvreally angered that wickedness in this proportion. Very sorry to the fam. Thise rougues should be hunted down and severely dealt with.
Please, say Nigeria this is definately not common practice all over Africa and i have lived in a few African countries. The atrocities in Nigeria are of a different level and funny enough there is no actual was going on. Imagine if there was war? Damn!
This is so sad that fellow human beings can do such. People need to realize life in any country is not a walk in the park, he worked really hard to achieve his success. Living in abroad is not a walk in the park every country has its challenges. I wake up 6am to start work at 8am Monday to Friday working 40 hours weekly. people should be careful who they share information/success with not everyone wishes others well lots of envy and jealousy nowadays.
This is exactly what happened to my friend just last month in Portharcourt, he was abducted and killed by kidnappers after they have taken the ransom they ask for, till now I'm still asking myself, what has he done wrong?, who has he done wrong to?, what might have gone wrong?, or what is it that he didn't do right? So after struggling for many years here in Italy and manage to save a little money to set up a little business for himself in Nigeria and people decide to cut his life short, the only son for that matter.
45 years in NY ain’t easy at all . Especially in NYC. 45 years ? I moved out of NY after 4 years and imagine 45 years of hustling just to go die in Africa 😞😞😩 nahh that’s some next level of wickedness.
New York is not called a concrete jungle for nothing. You need balls of steel to live there. May his soul rest in peace. For those that had a hand in his death, may they never know peace till they pass as well.
That's why i have absolutely no intentions of going to settle or even visit that place.... even though I have built a house in Abuja, i have come to a resolve, That is a right off. Based on feed back coming from other Africans that visit their countries and come back, Reports prove Nigeria is arguably the worse place to go to in Africa. To Nigeria i bid. "Good riddance.
Well try to sell your house then so its not a total write off... its the same issue with my family.... have houses and don't plan on going back 😔 and the amount already put into it is so much...ugh.
@@mssumerloving that's why i don't understand why people in diaspora build houses in Nigeria. They suffer to build these houses, some can't go back to live there. If you rent it out, once they know you're in abroad, they don't want to pay anymore. Even some of your family members start wishing you never return so that they can take the house over. Buy a nice house in the country you live and enjoy it in peace.
Nigeria has been transformed into hell on earth by corrupt leaders (present and past). Morals are no longer existent. It will be cold day in hell before you come across honest people in Nigeria (friends and family included). Diasporians make the place you made fortune your home. Yes, it can be toxic abroad but this cannot be compared with the hell awaiting you at 'home'. RIP sir.
But why on earth did this man have to go retire in Nigeria? Like why? All your children are in The States.... why didn't he invest in a home/condo in say Florida where it is warm and still safe...and can go back home to visit here and there ... my Lord this whole thing is too sad.
It's hard to understand why some people make such decisions. Most people just hate you once you leave Nigeria to live abroad. Visiting is ok..but why go back to live there, that hatred for you is still there. Buy a nice house in 'the abroad' and enjoy your retirement there.
Good question. Does not make sense why they live and work overseas for decades and build houses back in the village. The extended family members take everything and their kids in the UK or USA etc are left with no inheritance.

Ativie Jonathan shout this out bro. And don't be surprised when they treat you so too
True talk for real.
I agreed 100%. Trust nobody at all.
Yeah. We get so homesick thinking of how "things were" and not realising as we've grown, so also have those we left behind. And not always in a positive way. They're so dangerous. So sad
My advice to Nigerians living in Diaspora
You need to accept the truth that you are no longer Nigetian culturally, orientation wise etc. You're now the new country you've lived all these years. It's hard to relate to Nigerians after living so long abroad. Ask them. Nigerians on Nigeria even treat you as a foreigner.
This is absolutely true.,.
Also be careful of those stupid family members who go around to brag about their brother/ sister who lives abroad. Their stupidity has often instigated this type of attack without them knowing. Criminals get information through various means including loud mouthed braggart family members. I am speaking from experience here. Be careful of that family member that has bad friends. Criminals will get you through him.
True!!! Even if you're a low-key kinda person, some close friends and family whose nature it is, can go bragging and unintentionally, provide information to people with "criminal minds" who can wreck havoc.
ibexy Well said 👌🏾
This last look like inside Job not someone who don't know him .
You also have social media.
Nigeria is not a place to settle or go for vacation. You come back more stressed than when you left. I always say this. People spend time here telling us to go back. Go back where? How can you head to place you will be locked up behind iron gates 24/7 and only venture out with security? Nigeria is a failed state. Period. Go there at your own risk.
@Fol A On the contrary, if you are rich, you are a target for criminals in Nigeria. Again, where is the quality of life? You have all that money and there are no good roads, noise pollution from generator and churches,etc. If you have money in Nigeria you are under the illusion that you are enjoying but you are still suffering.
@Fol A Brother believe me I am talking from experience. I am one of those who always planned to go back. I invested heavily back there as well. Today I cant wait to sell off everything and re-invest where I live. BTW what security are you talking about? The very security men will almost always plan evil for you. All based on experience bro.
@Fol A STOP THIS NONSENSE DECIPT
@Fol A Can you believe on a different comment thread on this video, I am being attacked for suggesting people should get security when travelling to naija. The other person thinks its better to trust God than to get security.
@Fol A to answer your question, Yes. ensure you are properly secured whenever you travel. It also depends on the area. Some places are relatively safer.
Security does not necessarily mean getting big hefty people guarding you. It can mean keeping a low profile and letting trusted people be aware of your movements.
I am not trying to scare you but its obvious that there are no laws protecting the ordinary person in Nigeria.
Rightly said..weldone
Last two years I was in Nigeria to celebrate the Christmas and new year 2018 with my family and friends unfortunately the 6st day of the year I ran to lagos in a hotel to spend the rest of the days before flying back to Europe because of the movement of my 35 year old son wasn't clear to me while my younger brother was even planning something else they'll cried and weep badly when they called me I told them I have something important doing in lagos and I'll be with them in few days that was how I left them...Liars and evil family 26 years ago I left Nigeria I am just like Meghan markle who took friends like family I'm sorry my family are TOXIC it's so sad and heartbroken no one to trust in the family
Wow
Good decision. Spiritual attack is very common .
Your own son too? 😲 It's high time we started setting our priorities straight.
May his blood be on those that killed him and may his spirit continue to hunt the killers all the days of their life and may they not know any peace till they enter the grave ijn. Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
I really wish these prayers of yours would manifest on the wicked murderers. I wish it's not just a fable.
Amen 😭😭
You help na wahala you no help na wahala....That sense of entitlement is a killer virus spreading through most 9ja in 9ja. They killed people for 1,000 naira only life is worthless.
Bingo! You nailed it.
omoniyikaye u talkam like I think. I be cameroonian and stay abroad eh, family no go leave we save. The sad thing too na say when u look back, them too dey suffer. But them no di want listen to us as we talk to them. Any money sent back home goes into water. Chaiiii
The question that always stroke my heart is , is he the only one ☝️ coming from diaspora to settle in Nigeria 🇳🇬 or Ikorodu ? There are so many diasporas who have come from abroad and successfully settled in Nigeria without been obliterated.Na who know man dey kill man!!!! His killers are his close ones.R.I.P
This should not been happening to no one working hard in another country for so many years through blood, sweat and tears and meet an end like this , it is heart breaking not only in Nigeria but this is also going on in the Caribbean as well, why black people so selfish and disgusting towards our own people like this ,it is really sad.
Its jealousy and greed.

I'm really starting to think that this is the case!

She had become a success story and they didn't like that. It seems to be an epidemic worldwide. I had no idea that the same situations are happening in Nigeria as well! It really is a shame.

Wow, this is so sad. I am still shaken by this terrible news. Mr. Mutiu was my Dad's friend, who was an accountant. He was assisting me in trying to connect me to get an accounting job. He was such a nice and humble man. May God comfort his family in His bosom through this sad time. May his soul rest in peace.
The kind of crime that's coming from Naija these days, Devil himself dey fear us. Is it crime from Pastors you want talk about or family talkless of friends.
This targeting returnees is also common in the caribbean. Many of our elders retired back in the 90’s onwards after working hard in the UK for 30/40 years. They sold their UK houses. Gave their kids some money from the sale to help them buy. Once back they get targeted. People do not see them as their own any more because of the years spent living abroad. Many also realised going back on holidays and returning to retire was not the same experience. I notice what the next generation of returnees have done is to return back but to a different island where people do not know them and they can live in peace in the sun. Jamaican retires will go to Grenada etc. My neighbour is
but he and his wife are returning to the Gambia. Its safer for them, and also their family in the UK, like grandkids etc will feel safer there when visiting them. So folks Africa is a big continent, you dont must have to retire to Nigeria to reap the benefits of the African continent. Travel around the continent whilst you are in your best years and then decide, which country will best for you and those relatives who will visit you in your retirement home 🙏🏽
Sarah’s Opinion Well said 😊👌🏾
It doesn't matter which country you leave in Africa, if evil people is after you they will go to anywhere to make it happens........their was a guy in Toronto of Ethiopian decent that won a lottery of 11m dollars. He went back to his country this summer and somebody set me up. He was murder in Ethiopia in his own home for no reason.
Maybe returnees should form their own expat community and resettle in other countries. Jealousy, greed and hatred is real.
Phrankleen thank you dear 🙏🏽
Truthmatter by Ola dada That is not the point. The point is different countries have differently developed security and systems that meet the needs of retirees. Of course there is dysfunctional people everywhere but we still have live and live in the place that will best mitigate against risks. Be wise because what you need to live in your middle and older years can never be the same as when you were living in and left your home country in your 20/30’s.
I m just confused as to why anyone will give this video a thumbs down 😓 Wow! May the soul of the departed rest in peace. The thought of visiting my parents even scares me let alone moving back for whatever reason. Where I lay my head is my home oh.
Sad to say, we have this problem in Jamaica as well.
Envy and murder is a sin as stated in the Bible. The culprit will pay for their crime, that is certain.
May his soul rest in peace and condolences to his family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Black is black no matter where they are
Thanks Frank for the great things you are doing. I meet this baba sometime 6 months ago 2019 in Brooklyn NYC at a place called Governor where Nigerians of Yoruba extraction and some igbo brothers always meet to unwind. Its so sad that Nigeria our people back home in Nigeria always wish us bad. Why would anyone kill an old man for heaven sake? Am a young man in my late 30s and its because of the evil of our people to run away from home. These evil people arr the ones that will always tell you to retire back home but its now clear its so that they can kill you.
This is so sad. In Jamaica over the past few years there has been a rash of murders of retirees returning home to live out their remaining years in the land of their birthplace. Unfortunately too, many of them have spent 20, 30, 40 years working abroad (UK, USA Canada) saving their money ir send their money back to JA to build their dream home to reside in. The unfortunate part is in their absence the community has changed not necessarily for the better. You see when they return home, they face a younger community people who know nothing about them other than the returnees lived abroad for many many years. And the mindset is "oh, they live abroad so long, they build house to come and retire in..." that statement alone means they assume you return with loads,if money which in most cases the returnee do have a nice amount saved and when converted to JA$ its like hitting the jackpot. So when the returnees arrive, everybody happy to see them, laugh and smile with them. But unbeknownst these elderly people are either scammed out if their money, beat up and robbed or even worse killed and burned in their own home. And those that kill them are NOT only strangers.... it's their own family too. We live in some serious times when you cant trust your own people☹☹☹
@remo gaji my friend jamaicans do that whenever they migrate to. Some of them well come across that they are smarter than than the natives of the country where they migrate to.
I will not retire in Nigeria. neverrrrr😒
I have told my husband this a long time ago.
Ebere Daniel Damn 😒🤦🏽♂️
Ebere Daniel Dont blame u. Same with me
I will retire in Nigeria. If you plan to retire in Nigeria try to travel often to have a feel of the things happening or that have changed while U are abroad hurstling.
Great decition👍
@@thezorani Great. and another advice will be, don't live far away from a busy town, I will rather save and buy a house in ikoyi or VI if I must live in Lagos, just for the security.
Moral story: don't let black people know you're rich or else!!!.
Laughing and crying at the same time OMG!
ibemesi john they have juju and they will know
I was on the Phone with a relative who is back home. I mention to him that I wanted to move back home from the USA. HE told me not to move back because they will kill me. He never told me who will kill me, mind you, I am struggling here in the USA.
It is never a good idea to share your intentions with anyone, no one knows my movement or my intentions, I am very discreet and secretive in my movement and my plans, I have learnt to be diplomatic with people because I don't owe them the truth anyway.
@@mko9110 FACTS! this is where we black people fail. We are always talking and putting out our plans and secrets and including everyone. This is one of the reasons why we as African people Can't progress. The whites make decisions behind closed doors. By the time you learn of their plans, they are already in effect.
Nothing wrong with sharing your goals and dreams with the next man. That same person could help you out or connect you to someone or give you ideas to better reach your goals. That's how it should always be amongst humans. The problem is not you but them and their devious ways. It's sad
He is right . It’s sad but the truth. People are wicked , dangerous , greedy. Honestly I can’t wait to leave naija with my family, even family members are toxic
I’m 50: percent Nigerian& 50 percent Ghanaian, but my Nigerian side of my family is greedy and selfish and would be willing to kill me for everything I get! I’m from Ilorin In Kwara state!, Don’t judge me wrong , my family from Ghana are not Engel, but they will not kill you for money!
Ghanaian will not kill you for money?? Lol
I really wish more Nigerians could travel abroad at least once in a lifetime, just to see life on the other side and how "rosy" it is.
That’s what I say as well@Tobi Adeniji it is not a place paved with gold. Most of them would not be as generous with their hard earned money. When you send it to them to either learn a skill or set up a trade/business for themselves it flops. No shame in asking for another amount of money. When you don’t send it the hatred starts. Lost count and now minding my own business. When they are the ones with bad roads, no electricity, schools, hospitals. Trying to help them stand up and survive. I know my own children will not help and are busy with their own lives.
Tobi Adeniji - That’s the thing. Someone need to start a campaign that shows how people struggle to make money in the west. So, people can know that it can even be harder than Nigeria sometimes.
@@odunayo1198 oh yes...lol. The ignorance is extremely high.
i nearly died when i visited my mother land after some few years of living abroad , i got back and go sick for almost four years ...
They might have jink your food or water. Be careful when you are around them
It was January this same year a women a UK based returnees, whom built an hostel, was killed by her sacked staffs in Nigeria
Killed by staff? That's bad
I hope the people of Ikorodu and the Police should flush out the robbers. However, l want people to know that non indigenes are more than indigenes in Ikorodu. The probability is high that he was killed by non family member/non indigene
That's the truth, families are your greatest enemies. We should be very careful when we go to Nigeria. May God safe us all,amen
I consider myself a proud Nigerian. However, I am realistic- I have been out of the country working and scraping for 26 years and do not pretend to be an expert about what is on the ground in Nigeria. Healthcare in my declining years?? How will I sustain myself? Why would I retire to a place where I do not feel safe? The few times I have visited I have had to be hyper-aware of my surroundings. I also did not visit family members (at their request) so what was the use? I travel to other countries- it costs me less, I have a good time, I feel relatively safe and I DO NOT NEED A VISA (those of you in the US that have ever applied for a visa or passport renewal know what I am talking about), and more importantly no one asks me silly questions at the airport. I have not finished paying off my house here so why would I build one I will not live in? So, those of you that keep telling me to "come back home" I am already home.
@Lola Odusanya, this is not an advice to move back to Nigeria because I believe that is a very personal choice. I retired back to Nigeria almost a year ago now after spending 33 continuous years in the USA. There are many of us here that came back from the USA either permanently like me or splitting time. There's no issue in Nigeria that can not be mitigated, mostly. We have adequate hospitals/clinics here in Nigeria. Safety is relative. Not out to convince e you but you might be doing yourself a disfavor with some of your viewpoints about Nigeria. Have a happy new year. "A ma ku sajo o" We will not die in a foreign land, spoken in Ijebu Ode dialect.
Lola Odusanya thst is the wise way to think. When I go home,, I don eat out. Hahaha I no de waka anyhow
You are a shame.... Do the poor chinese, europeans, indians, lebanese moving to Nigeria and making a fortune complaining about ''feeling safe''... While you are here talking nonsense they are making buisness partners in Nigeria who will make them millions.

Glad you talking about this! Sad thing is people are too afraid to talk about this! This is Very True! They praying for your demise! They are Plotting! Disturbing!
My mum has been poisoned right before my eyes she was dying on our way bk to the airport to head bk to the UK. Thank God my uncle driving us to the airport has an antidote in his house, he drove us to his house where an antidote was applied before she was able to vomit the poison. We ended up missing our flight! The idea was for her to fall sick on the plane and die but thank God it was not in the plane. I don't mix with anyone or eat or drink on let anything am going to consume be handled my any family in Nigeria. They are all hungry and they can kill u for your money.
A O Holy Shit 😲🙆🏾♂️ That’s absolutely crazyyyyy!!!
My God!! What story
A O I was in Nigeria, South East to be specific. My aunt took great care of me. She cooked the food herself for me to eat. She told me not to date take any food from anyone and also not to take any food items back to USA for anyone. I was very cautious around Lagos during my visit. In Aba, I did not leave my compound eccept to attend church. It is just not safe. I never broadcast to anyone my plans to travel to Nigeria.
Thank God, they did not succeed.
shocking... So, what is point to poison a person and kill her? will they then get any money for that that? I don,t understand.
who else would know that you have returned home to retire with western money? friends and family.
Not the exact same situation but a Congolese man living in Ireland, was poisoned by his own mum and brother, when he visited them and announced that he was marrying his long term partner who was living in Congo. The thought of this woman living in the house he owned was too much for them and they killed him. Mind you this was a man of 50+ years who I personally saw cleaning toilets and cutting hair for €5 to make money while waiting for his asylum case to be processed. He died a prolonged death because of greed.
His own mum and brother?! Lord have mercy.
@@oshunyt Unfortunately yes. People from the Congolese community here were collecting money to bring him back to Ireland for medical treatment before the cause of his illness was known. Even the man wasn't aware at the beginning of what was happening, he finally died in Congo but not before he managed to tell people the truth. It's beyond comprehension how someone can do that to anyone talk less of their close relative. I'm assuming he was sending money home too because he worked hard, seriously.
It's so sad and I'm utterly devastated!Stories like this trigger the Naija phobia in me!May his soul rest in peace.
I spoke to his son last night, such a sad story. He was a great man.
Wale Aiyedogbon Oh wow 😮, you know his son?
@@Phrankleen13 Yes, We grew up together in Maryland before he moved to NYC. Such a tragic story my brother, some of our people back home are just evil.
Please tell the son to sell the house. If they need help there are lots of help outside cloes one
So when you are done facing unwarranted war with the world while living abroad, you will still return home to face war with your own people.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
If they can channel their hates and envy towards their corrupt leaders and criminals living among them and free their daughters and sons living abroad, it would even be better for them!
So true..after reading what's happening in Jamaica..I truly agree with u ..why go after people returning home ..the government is to blame for the countries poverty..not returning residents..I just dont understand how people can kill innocent people !!!
This is really sad. Heartfelt condolences to the family. What you are saying is also very true. It is usually people in one's network. The main motivators are usually jealousy, envy and greed. And they use the poor people to carry out their devious plans. The fact that they burnt him was to destroy evidence which can lead back to them. That kindness you mention has also put some of us in problem. Because you stretch out your hand to help they think you have a lot. They don't know it's sacrifice.
Exactly ,,,,,,sacrifice.....
This story scared 😦 me ,,,sometimes people in the diaspora kill and rob one another too , the Nigerians back home are just a tool which is being used to perpetuate such crimes
RIP to the Man 😪
@@omonaija2062 Good observatiion.....
Am so worried about the kind of behaviours of people over there. Even my siblings always complain about the way some distance relative do behave. Am going there next month nd my kids said dey won't b going with me because dey feel nigeria is too dangerous. I feel so bad dat nigeria has become a war zone. If one don't hear of kidnapping u hear of witches or armed robbers or police stealing from people.
It's really really sad
Even friends and family who don't plot have bad mine. Perhaps we need a space for ourselves abroad with like-minded people
Hmm... Now that is an idea!
If you go back you got to live in gated secured neighborhoods and dont mix with the locals.
Someone close to him know what’s up
Now I see why some of our brothers don't want to come back home.
My condolence.😭😭
Innocent people in Nigeria? I doubt that. Please if you are A NIGERIAN, dont go home unless you know all the trickery, be very careful, but will advice to do your home work.
Shut your mouth.
Preach Brother Preach ... They are very evil there ... I have just been conned out of 150, 000 dollars by my siblings in Ghana !!!! I live in England and although I knew that people over there were wicked, I never thought that this would ever happen to me !!! I am almost suicidal
Sorry
I think often, after spending years abroad Nigerians tend to forget why/what state they left the country. Nigeria isn't really a place to go back home and retire in unfortunately.
Exactly
This is so sad.. my heart and condolences goes out to his family 🙏🏽
You're such a Wise man Sir, God bless you. I've learn my lesson.
Absolutely heartbreaking!
May his soul Rest In Peace
The whole world full of wickedness same things going on in some Caribbean islands .You r do true not strangers doing this.
I was saddened to read this incident. It's such a great loss to the family and to those of us who moved back to Nigeria in terms of encouraging others to follow suit, it's a setback. Now, this is not a rampant type of crime. Based on my research and information from other sources, this was not an armed robbery but a targeted execution or reprisal for a perceived comeuppance. Armed robbers don't burn victims vehicles that they can sell or part out. Whatever it was shouldn't have escalated to this level.
Some quick bits of advice based on some of the knee jerk reactionary comments I read. Nigeria is not completely in dire straits as postured on here. We are not dodging bullets around or cowering from robbers while pissing ourselves. Life goes on. Businesses and creativity happens, I am most proud of the youths who are making things happen in technology in this country. A lot of American franchises are here from technology, entertainment and hospitality. Living in Nigeria requires awareness just as when I lived in Los Angeles.
As to investments, it makes no sense to invest in Nigeria and then turn around to want to convert the money to US dollars, makes no sense. Many people have hundreds of millions in real estate investment from diaspora in Nigeria. You keep the investments in Nigeria to help the Nigeria economy. It's not for everyone. Some choose to invest where they live in the USA or wherever but that doesn't mean that investing in Nigeria is bad. There's such a housing shortfall Nigeria, at least in major cities that tenants will line up as soon as you start building.
Good luck to all of us and may our favors and protection find us wherever we are.
Well said!

Majority of diasporaians or people who school and go back to naija and in media. Be it journalism, radio, vlogging etc they are at the forefront of influencing the masses on the struggle people face here and how hard is it to work and safe and resettle. To change that entitled mindset of most of the people. Instead they add unto it by showing their flashy cars and exotic vacations and designer purchases. Increasing the envy and cut throat mindset of the fellow ignorant people. SAD it's time for people to use their platforms to change this mindsets mehn. People are mental out there.
So sad, but true and good advice bro because wickedness comes in all shapes and forms.
So sad I don't no why nigeria is becoming something else lately. People are so damm jealous expecially close frnds nd relatives. I don't no why dey can't just take their eyes off someone's else's properties.

Yup very true.
Thank you for the Video and the information, So sad to hear what happened to this man and many other families in Africa.
Unfortunately money and wealth attracts evil.
I’m shocked from this news, because we need each other soooo…… badly!
I understand that we cannot succeed without caring for each other. We are already in a world that does not respect and values black people.
What kind of world do we want to live in as black people?
I dream of African leaders and adults that will be mindful of each other so that they, we together, will create opportunities for each other to have the necessary materially and a conscience that is balanced to live life that is dignified for us as black people.
Peace, and Keep up the good work.
People abroad should stop designating family members or friends to manage their projects. Just visit yourself and be your own project manager while elect a construction company and ensure you absolutely keep the project a secret from everyone you know period.
Well said. Hope your peeps listen.
My goodness! I wouldn’t go back to Naija. God knows that!
Great words of advice!
What a tragedy! May his soul rest in peace. May God give his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. Lastly, may the perpetrators of this evil act be brought to book in no distant future.
Unfortunately, it's a lose-lose situation for the diasporan. If you give, you're damned. If you don't, you're damned. To them back home, you're stingy. May the good Lord continue to protect us. Please be watchful!
Thanks for the words of wisdom, Phrankleen. He that has ears, let him hear.
I usually say once you leave the shores of Nigeria to anywhere, what you just did is to paint a target on your back. Be ready for the shots. Unfortunately you never know until you start "giving back" out of trying to help. The very first money you sent home, is the signal for people to start shooting.
Thank you so much for the advice in this video. My condolences to the family of the MAN. RIP. May God help us. This is why most of us live as many years as possible in Europe, USA, ASIA without thinking about going back home because of the BAD securities we have in NIGERIA. May God save us all from this.......

@Blessed Bae thanks
My wife’s 94 year old father 50 years in Liverpool UK was kidnapped in his village organised by the son of a relative they have been supporting. The Old boy was arranging to help the boy learn a trade/fund a small business to help the boy support his ageing mother. The 94 year old was held in captivity four a week urinated on and beaten to extract money out of his family. Luckily, his politically connected relatives and my wife used their local MP to pressure the police to track down the kidnappers via this young man’s phone.
During the kidnap episode the young man ran errands for my wife’s mum, thus enabling him to keep his accomplices informed. The old boy still has eye problems till today from being blind folded for a week, with no access to his high blood pressure tablets.
Did the guy get a prison sentence?
So sad.
Not only can it be family or extended family or friends, it's also neighbors, house help or security. It has come to the point of even bank managers and tellers will see how much you have and they will send thugs to rob and kill you. It's going on all across the continent. God help our poor souls.
Once folks leave their home they become enemy and a target.
True, people are bitter when you break free from suffering and they are still waiting for breakthrough
I wonder how careful one can be this is sad 😢
This is why a lot of people living abroad don't move back home. This is happening in other melinated countries. Considering those countries are milking so much from those working abroad. I would NOT send unlimited $ back home making them dependent. They don't even try. They wait on your hard earned. It's getting out of hand
Anyone that have hands in killing of human beings,,those wicked people shall also will die very soon by sword,,and fire arms and the generations of those wicked people shall be destroy from this world very soon....Tell a wicked people that it shall not well with them and their children and generations...Amen..

Thise rougues should be hunted down and severely dealt with.
Please, say Nigeria this is definately not common practice all over Africa and i have lived in a few African countries. The atrocities in Nigeria are of a different level and funny enough there is no actual was going on. Imagine if there was war? Damn!
This is so sad that fellow human beings can do such. People need to realize life in any country is not a walk in the park, he worked really hard to achieve his success. Living in abroad is not a walk in the park every country has its challenges. I wake up 6am to start work at 8am Monday to Friday working 40 hours weekly. people should be careful who they share information/success with not everyone wishes others well lots of envy and jealousy nowadays.

This is exactly what happened to my friend just last month in Portharcourt, he was abducted and killed by kidnappers after they have taken the ransom they ask for, till now I'm still asking myself, what has he done wrong?, who has he done wrong to?, what might have gone wrong?, or what is it that he didn't do right? So after struggling for many years here in Italy and manage to save a little money to set up a little business for himself in Nigeria and people decide to cut his life short, the only son for that matter.

New York is not called a concrete jungle for nothing. You need balls of steel to live there. May his soul rest in peace. For those that had a hand in his death, may they never know peace till they pass as well.
Rita Okigbo exactly right it’s a zoo out here in NYC but damm this is becoming the new norm for people going back n getting killed . It’s crazy .
That's why i have absolutely no intentions of going to settle or even visit that place.... even though I have built a house in Abuja, i have come to a resolve, That is a right off. Based on feed back coming from other Africans that visit their countries and come back, Reports prove Nigeria is arguably the worse place to go to in Africa. To Nigeria i bid. "Good riddance.
Dechris can I buy that house you built ?
Well try to sell your house then so its not a total write off... its the same issue with my family.... have houses and don't plan on going back 😔 and the amount already put into it is so much...ugh.
@@mssumerloving that's why i don't understand why people in diaspora build houses in Nigeria. They suffer to build these houses, some can't go back to live there. If you rent it out, once they know you're in abroad, they don't want to pay anymore. Even some of your family members start wishing you never return so that they can take the house over. Buy a nice house in the country you live and enjoy it in peace.
Very sad but it is true. Very sad.
Dear Dechris, your decision not to settle or visit Nigeria again is sad but it does not affect the price of rice, your loss.
Nigeria has been transformed into hell on earth by corrupt leaders (present and past).
Morals are no longer existent. It will be cold day in hell before you come across honest people in Nigeria (friends and family included).
Diasporians make the place you made fortune your home. Yes, it can be toxic abroad but this cannot be compared with the hell awaiting you at 'home'.
RIP sir.
But why on earth did this man have to go retire in Nigeria? Like why? All your children are in The States.... why didn't he invest in a home/condo in say Florida where it is warm and still safe...and can go back home to visit here and there ... my Lord this whole thing is too sad.
mssumerloving can’t control people’s choices
It's hard to understand why some people make such decisions. Most people just hate you once you leave Nigeria to live abroad. Visiting is ok..but why go back to live there, that hatred for you is still there. Buy a nice house in 'the abroad' and enjoy your retirement there.
Very sad.
Good question. Does not make sense why they live and work overseas for decades and build houses back in the village. The extended family members take everything and their kids in the UK or USA etc are left with no inheritance.
@@Phrankleen13 yep, I know, but still just so sad and doesn't make sense at all
My deepest condolences to the family! This is sad! Very sad 😞 😒😒
Speechless.....goose bumps 😭
All you said is bitter, but unfortunately is the truth of reality in Nigeria. JMO
They killed my son in the village and till now we haven't seen the killers
Beauty Amadi damn! 😮😒 that’s really saddening.
I'm so sorry. May he rest in peace.
Im sorry 🥲😭
How could they do this to this Nigerian elder his generation had made it easy for others yo settle in Western nations. Im angry and sad
I heard about stories like this.. So sad the government doesn't support its people better.
This is so sad! This world is weeked
people everywhere need to respect others hard work and stop cheating and abusing others, to say the least.
Scary 😔😔😢😢
