    That argument of giving my children a good future is why I made same mistake the guy made. After building 8 rooms duplex in my home town and about to finish 5 rooms duplex at Lagos for my family, comfortably paying for a 4 bedrooms apartment in nice environment at surulere and pushing a good jeep. Now I know I wasn't doing badly back home, now in US struggling. Bro the guy took a good decision by going back.

    My husband is Nigerian. 3 months before his immigration to USA was approved, he got sick. Doctors put him in lock down in a mental institution and kept him drugged for 5 days instead of dealing with the anxiety attack he was actuality suffering. When he was released back to me, I feared so badly for him, I sent him home to Ibadan. We built a nice apartment and I joined him 6 months after he left. He was so depressed over his assumed failure in USA, that he wouldn’t rise up to help us beyond what he THOUGHT he could accomplish. A year later, I came back to the USA to go back to work, and now I support him from afar. It’s a strain on our relationship as we reimmigrate him back to the USA, but I support his decision to want to be here, rather than there. We have no kids together, so the decisions are a bit easier to handle. I loved Nigeria and it’s people and would not hesitate to become a Niger Wife if my husband would chose to stay in his country first.

I struggled to send myself to school. struggled to enter the professional cadre, on my way to earning a second degree, happily married with a lovely kid and doing well at our own level. I have been to EU, US, UK, Asia on holidays. I am proud of what God has blessed me with in Nigeria. I thank God I never succeeded in relocating abroad! I can only go there for vacation. I value our culture more now after going abroad several times. It is not uhuru here, neither is it anywhere in the world.

    Raising children in the west does not mean your children will be more successful than if they were raised in Nigeria. Most diasporan children are not as ambitious and courageous as children raised in Nigeria. A lot people in Nigeria delude themselves as if the western society is Eldorado. Is part of the colonial mental slavery that has destroyed the black world. How many diasporans can build a house in the UK or Canada or US without a mortgage?

Folks back home are striving, pushing, hustling, bustling, thriving and hanging on the best way they can and have a lot to show for it. Merely relocating to another country and giving up all the fruits of your hard work and struggle doesn't guarantee a life of gold and honey,or picking up money in the streets,as folks would have you believe.

    Hmm is it just me or I'm just realising that it is us women that seem to want to move abroad all this issues seem to start with the woman feeling like they need to move abroad for their children. Even in my own case it's because of my mother that we came to the UK, left to my father I will have gone to university in Nigeria because as far as my father was concerned there is nothing he is looking for abroad and this is someone that was already a British citizen. Over the years I have come to learn that abroad isn't always the best for your children. It may be easier but that doesn't necessarily equate to a better life.

      The issue here is, Some of we Africans especially we women, we think the West is the best gor our children. The west is not the best you know. If you live in England or America and you have children is only God will help you. I knew a lot of family that have taken ghee children back to Aftica becduse of one reason ànd the other. They system in the West gave power to our children to do what they want and you as a parent you there not to talk your child will call the police on you saying you are abusing him/her and they will take your children away and that's the end. They are so many broken homes today all in the name of I want to come to the West for my children to have a better life and better education. Have you prated about it and ask God the West is the best place for you children to grow up? So many of them are in jail because of peer pressure, they joined gangs and started kill each other. Is that a good life? My sisters and brothers think wisely before coming with you vhidren to the west. People live abroad just by the grace of God nothing else.

    Good evening Sir. Great discussion. Poverty is everywhere! All over the world! I've known people who came to the US from Africa and the Caribbean who have told me that they were shocked to learn of the poverty homelessness and suffering in the country when they landed. As you said.. this stuff is not shown in the media. I'm born & raised in the US. Thankfully I was not raised in and have never lived under impoverished conditions. But I've known people who were and have. For far too many- it's not the land of milk and honey that it's made out to be. Some migrate to the states and do very well. Others not. With all the craziness and racist bs that Black folks have always had working against us in America - I fully realize that I've just been blessed throughout my life. And I am truly thankful & grateful. And I try to be a blessing to others however and whenever I can.

I wish I had a man like him who had a foresight ,I and my 4 kids wouldn't have suffered the way we did. I have been in Nigeria since September 2020 to start a new life from scratch and I am doing well. Africa is gold mine, do you that one can make a good living from running a maggots farm from black soldier flies. There are huge opportunities in Nigeria unless you want to live your life packed with lies. By the way I lived in London for over 30 years and I came back with nothing after all the hard work. I will give myself 5 years to get back on the track again. Some people advised me to wait until when Nigeria is better. My response was that Nigeria had problems before I was born. I'm working hard to save some money to visit my children in London soon.

A 41 year old man in Ghana, for me he is doing FAR BETTER THAN the average black person living in the UK. He has build his own house in Accra, have a shop, drives a Benz car and he STILL want to come and STAY in the west because he had OVERSTAY in Afrika. He doesn't even want to have or marry any woman in his life because that will distract his aim and plan to travel to the west. He has a master degree in Human resources. I have tried everything to convince him that even if he comes to the west via education, he will regret leaving behind all that he has achieved ALREADY. I am going to introduce him to your page and hopefully he can learn a thing or two. Thanks for always inspiring people like me.

I am African at heart truly and Nigerian to the core, forget about thriving Oga, a woman has to stand by their man through think and thin. Together u will overcome. It’s a marriage which would never have survived honestly. I grew up in the UK but African would only be better if we do something about it. Bro u did well by going back.

    The problems people have in Nigeria is believing that Europe and overseas is where life is, whereas they go to Europe to become nonentities like begging to apply for slavery. Some people may say that the story is one sided, but believe me, the greener pasture we are looking for is the Nigeria we left behind. If I had the opportunity such a woman had, having a house, a business, I will put my car on reverse gear and come home. She would've join her husband to grow their business and the children can as well go to school abroad. Now the family who are obsessed with their daughter is in canada may not know what their daughter is suffering and will suffer bringing up those kids alone. I was a registered nurse/ midwife in Nigeria, but when I got to Europe, I started a job as a housemaid and people at home were waiting for money from me thinking i am working as a nurse. Today, I and my husband are fasting and praying to be able to go back home and have a peaceful life. But people at home will sell all they have and come abroad to enslave their destiny. The man is the head of the home and should be respected and God will not be happy for such situation all because of canada.

Informations were scare unlike now, and my family that relocated to Italy didn't want to move to the UK to start all over and weren't also sure they will secure a stay. So all I could do was to work as a domestic servant, and some European countries with their laws may not employ immigrate into their health sector until you are a citizen. For example, you have to regularly live and work in italy for ten years before you can apply for citizenship, and you wait for about three years to process all documents. People way back home are not ready to listen to process and stories. If I had travelled with a visiting visa, it would've been worse.

I remember the first time I returned to Ghana after living in Canada for 15 years, and how things had not improved in any way. I was in a bank with my wife to cash traveller's check in Accra. The bank was crowded, very warm, cashiers stood by having conversations with each other while customers waited in long lines. I just had to shake my head about how backward Ghana still is and how such a simple service would have taken minutes in Canada. Now why in heave's name would I want to gamble the comforts I have here for such inconvenience? No chance in hell.

But here, whatever certificates you got out of Western Europe are overlooked. My African university degrees (I've got two) are not acknowledged. I had to pick pick grapes to pay the bills, worked security, washed dishes at restaurants, and cooked while enrolling again here in yet another university, since only a certificate from here can get you a decent job. Everything the man in your story said about Canada can be applied to France: the cold, the loneliness, the lack of human warmth and social life.

Nobody claimed the West is paradise and problem free. Note, however, that homelessness results mostly from addictions, and mental health issues. In Canada, there are lots of services available to help people like hat but the degree of their issues are sometimes such that the assistance means nothing. A person has to understand the workings of the mind and what untreated addictions and mental health implies. This has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with the country they reside in. Please refrain from drawing false conclusions about things you are attempting to explain by citing simple, yet unsubstantiated evidence.

How many Canadians would do the same and move to Nigeria just to start afresh, from the bottom,after achieving much success in all aspects in their native land? Africans really do have a long way to go. Very, very long!!

    Very important point. Imagine this new thing “for the future of the children” as the reason people are ploughing hard earn monies not into their communities in Nigeria but in mediocre schools in Canada and to the Canadian govt for a student visa.
    And you are so right. If many of us have a livable house in Nigeria, it is over for abroad. Many are trying to build the house to return to…

    Hi just started watching your Chanel am from Zimbabwe. I came to England not because I was suffering but I was curious then met my hubby married and with kids. I have a great job which pays very well but I long to go home. Have good savings and planning to buy a farm and also a house. I miss the atmosphere and the sense of belonging hate the London weather and it will never be home. My hubby is Jamaican and loves Zimbabwe he has been twice. So I think the wife should have just spent 6 months abroad if she was curious. Being abroad is over rated.

    I am trying to make same mistake now by bringing my family up here in UK. Since I said that, it got to my wife's head, she is now tiger, I can't even talk to my kids in WhatsApp. She block me in WhatsApp, force me to call my kids through direct call from UK to Nigeria. From the look of things I will cancel them coming to UK. I have all it takes to be comfortable in Nigeria, I have my mansion in the village, and in Lagos, my business going well. I guess from her attitude now, if they come to UK I will loose my kids and I can't bear it. because I love my kids so much

      Makes sense but this is why some Nigerians want to come to the UK.
      They see UK people and say “it’s easy for you to talk because you are in the UK”. I go home regularly and my family and circle live well and are upper class (However people are struggling). But it’s dangerous to think this is the reality for the majority of Nigerians who don’t have the opportunity to get money in higher currency to get a leg up. But yes I believe in building up Nigeria and we have a longggggg way to go.

    In my opinion, relocation may be a good option if you do not have foundations here, spend some time out, make some money, have kids, passports etc then come back home.
    On the other hand, someone with a thriving business and a property to their name should have no business with relocation, having vacations and healthcare checks abroad is cool.
    Nigeria has challenges, I agree, but leaving all that to go and start working casual jobs, facing extreme weather conditions and racism is a NO!!
