This is a beautiful video. I have lived in Canada for 22 years but I am also planning to move back to Nigeria with my wife and two daughters. There is no place like home, I have suffered from anxiety due to loneliness in this place. My reason for moving back is because of the communal environment that exists in Nigeria. I have a good job, my wife is also a nurse but there is no place like home. My hope is to be back by 2026, God willing!
@AdaLivingInspirations you are blessed for making this decision. I am glad u said no to common mentality. Everyone should take a decision based in his or her own unique circumstances. If returning home based on your own assessment is better for you. Then return. Welcome home !!!
You have to loose one , to get one Here in Nigeria, there's no job , except you know someone at the top Yes the communal living is there , but nothing else Notwithstanding people are relocating out every day My advice is invest by building a property Then if you want to come back , you come back
I salut ur courage, i am also planing on returning home soon. I do not give a damn about what anyone would say, having lived in both Europe and currently in California, i honestly discovered that i am more happier in Nigeria. Life is too short to fake it or please others.
My Sister, I salute you so much for coming home 🏡 me I'm praying to God that I come home in good health as you have done. They want you to remain there so that you continue to be their money making machine.
You're not the only one. Everything is about to be shipped out to Lagos. 40 feet container already procured. Until you move abroad you won't appreciate the value of home.
You are an inspiration! Please ignore such people. I was born and bread in the UK I am married to Nigerian, I look forward for to the day my husband, and our unborn children will move to Nigeria!
@Raetalkss THAT would be the beginning of a new disaster..was born n d UK 🇬🇧 raised briefly here but my parents decided to return to Nigeria 🇳🇬 n I hate them for that...anyway I'm back in the UK n this is where I woukd live n die
@@AdaLivingInspirations Tx Ada for the brave step you took to comeback. But you didn't disclose why exactly you were coming back to Nigeria? I blv that wld help many others as well.
@@FEMY77 Good for you. Not everybody loves to live where they're hated and treated like 5th class citizens. Plenty people find joy and relevance in that same Nigeria. Live in Nigeria now after so many years in America and I love it. The question I ask myself is why did I wait for so long to move back. Good and healthy food, freedom, plenty opportunities that locals refuse to see but foreigners see and take advantage of, and plenty rooms to make a difference and be relevant in a non-oversaturated place like the western world. Never will I subject my children to the nonsense abroad thing. Naija all the way!
No matter how Beautiful life is in the abroad, A time will come that you just want to come back home. no matter how you will try to hard it. you just want to come back Home because you can't help it. the way I leave my life in Nigeria is more better than the way I leave in Canada. No one have the right to ask me why I came back Home because They don't own my life. My life in Nigeria is Beautiful and Bless, No shame, No regret. After over 20years in Canada, Nigeria is Home for Me and My family now. Thanks for this video Ada baby ❤❤❤ my regards to your family 💕 💖
I choose to leave my home country, and i also have the right to return. Did they financially make your jakpa or japada. Its really sad how people need to concentrate on their lives and not people's business. I'm mentally down, and when i share with family, all they say is stay there. When my contract ends, I'm going home and will not communicate with any family or friend. If something bad happens to me, they will still continue with their lives.
That " Stay There" is coming from a very selfish mindset. It's not Love, but based on self interest. You need to 'stay there' so that you can still be sending hard currency to them. They don't care about your well being or happiness.
That's their typical line 'stay there'. But having spent over 17yrs in the Uk I'm tired and miss home badly. I visited home a few times in the past two years and it was a breath of fresh and as a consequence I've concluded plans to japada next January. Let me see who go force me go back. I only go when I want to then back to naija. Home is home.
I swear we are both in same shoe!!! I am depressed with loneliness and whenever i ask people closed to me that i want to return n continue my life, all i heard is DON'T COME OOOOO NIGERIA IS NOT THE SAME AS YOU LEFT, STAY WHERE YOU ARE N PLAN ANOTEHR 5YRS!!! Been hearing this 5yr after 5yrs and now i am coming without informing any, move to where i will have peace, e home and if care not taken is after 9months they will even know i am back cos this lfie is too short to be labouring for people n not have that inner peace..Ordinary small rain in naija they will stay home n wont go work,but here with heavy snowing u must go to work. If any wan die make them die me wil come for good n for my peace...Lets connect so we all can encourage ourselves n plan n share ideas on strategy to return happily n successfuly...Health is wealth n not Wealth is Health.....Dont come dont come!! Stay there say there!!! For 10yrs now i ate Eba and garri that is my favourite food for only 5 times, haba kilode!!!!!!

God bless you!!! There are times God will be telling us is time to move back n that uneasiness will be shown all over us just as i am feeling right now, 10yrs in south korea, now all my soul has left this land...Funny how people make millions in Nigeria yet spent on one embassy just to tarvel n works years again to rasie such money n after years want to return to same Nigeria!! I am guilty of that too and now i know better!!! Nigeria has that huge market population but the issue is that the money sent into Nigeria fromwe in disapora into Nigeria economy wasnt utilized well by the people sent to but used to enrich Alcholoic companies. They make money in Nigeria n cant reinvest it back there but use to enrich embassies n next we be blaming the Government..All over the world there is no sure security and there is a stage n age we will all get to and realsied that what we priotized now wont even be in our priorities ever again!!! 2025 i am coming back to my Mother n father land for Good!!!! Since left none of my friends or family had died of hunger or kidnapping for 10yrs but instead friends n close ones post going to parties every weekend shouting TGIF n i am here that weekend is when d work load go increase!!!! I be here in d winter woorking my ass off n dey will be making babies thens ending msges that Iyawo re ti bi mo(meaning ur wife has born) is it my own wife?? If na hardship they make themfresh eat cat fish, drink ebar, buy natives go parties, pls me too want that hardship
My sister, I am coming to Nigeria too, ooohhhh, let them talk. I am just waiting till my home finishes. If they feel to laugh, let them laugh. I'm just managing the west here, and I'm not from Nigeria but I married a Nigerian man. .
We Nigerians can be very funny. We complain alot this country is bad ,but still someone is leaving the diaspora to come and bring about positivity or create jobs.Yet, we will question he or she . I have been in Nigeria since January, my conclusion is we Nigerians don't really know what we want. Most people are not ready to make sacrifice and yet we want our country to be develope.
They want you to remain there even when you are not okay, in other to continue bragging that their son and daughter is abroad. Very selfish people. Our japada is still causing problems, but who cares.
@@Itzngluv They love her and wouldn't want her to face the hardship and the insecurity going on in Nigeria, but she has to show them videos of all the insecurities that are also going on in UK and around the world, then they will understand her, so you don't just conclude that they are going about bragging.
@kerrysmith9666 Do u think we did not explain enough or put into consideration the security and economic challenges in Nigeria before making our big japada move?People called us names like lazy ,crazy etc because we chose our mental health over pretending to be happy abroad.There is no place like home and then when people start asking why are you leaving the UK, are people not there? It shows you the level of understanding and selfishness cos what is good for Mr A may not favour Mr B. The fact remains I'm happier and my mental health is healthy here no matter what is happening right now in the country.
It is not a curse nor a shame, they are showing care and concern and perhaps afraid that you will not have the ability to go back abroad or have the means of surviving financially long time in Nigeria. So it is left to you to give them confidence that you are good and have good plans. It is pure LOVE.
You know I was speaking to my brother who also left the United Kingdom about 8 years ago returning to Zambia. Whenever we speak he tells me he has no regrets of returning there. He also asked me who did I think will build up Africa???? He said one day Hitler type figures will come to power in the west, they will prioritise those who are their kith and kin, he said they are already tired of us, our begging bowl is getting too big and they are asking themselves why we can't build a prosperous Africa...... The hostility towards migrants is getting very extreme and hot.
you are blessed for making this decision. I am glad u said no to common mentality. Everyone should take a decision based on his or her own unique circumstances. If returning home based on your own assessment is better for you. Then return. Welcome home !!! Those who want to go are free to go as well. Do your due diligence and migrate.
God bless you for this video. I wish I could reach you and tell you my own experience with some Nigerians who verbally attacked me for sharing a similar view..
👏👏👏👏salute to you my sister. I have done the same thing and relocated back to the continent. It’s so important for people to respect our decision in making our choices. Seen all the negative side but I know how to deal with it and speak my mind so people stop asking silly questions. There is no place like home.
We were born and raised in that country and no matter what, it is still HOME... Lagos is really home for me and I do not in any way question people who are coming back... We should accept the decisions from others... They are the ones taking the decisions, all we need is to support them and not traumatize them.. Be Loving towards all those who are heading back to their ROOTS.. Thank you!
My sister you have respect for yourself some women will prefer to stay and remain in that same situation in UK messing up their selves.am proud of you thanks
I have lived in America for 34yrs i can’t live Nigeria but the good news is that I’ve been to many other African countries I will definitely be retiring in Africa for sure. Africa is home Africa is interconnected now if I want to deal with 9ja wahala entry plane from Rwanda go 9ja fly back to base in Africa when I am done Build relationship anywhere you. 9ja ppl full Africa well well that’s the blessing of been Nigerian
@babajidekolawole2743 same page Africa is interconnected ...and Rwanda is a beautiful place, not a place without electricity like 9ja. 24/7 electricity is important to me if I were to go back which is not possible in 9ja
34 years in America and you haven't moved back and will not either. Countries have gone from baseline to first world countries in that time. All of you blacks are the same everywhere, all talk and no action
My sister, never mind the naysayers. Nigeria is actually a great country. There’s inflation everywhere but not that pronounced in the US or UK. Broke people don’t go to Nigeria. Also, people with no vision or better things to do stay behind in abroad. Welcome back home.
People must Talk. Let them talk. Tell the talkers to carry themselves and move abroad if they like it so much. ALWAYS DO WHAT YOUR SPIRIT DIRECTS IS BETTER FOR YOU.
Great video I have been abroad for 17 years and planning to return home. Nigeria has problems but which country dosen't. Caribbean countries are facing uncertainty due to climate change and disasters which are intensifying Europe and the U.S. are becoming very hostile towards migrants. Deportations and xenophobia is going to increase rapidly. And there's a coming global economic collape. And there's war coming to the west. Any Nigerian abroad after 2025 should prepare to be stranded. Thanks..this is really encouraging
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that many countries face their own challenges, and it's important to stay informed and prepared for what lies ahead.

Good for you and the family. As long as you and the family are happy, as long as it is for a good cause in the long run that is what matters most at the end of the day. As humans we can't make everyone else happy all the time. Please take note of that. All we can do each as a human being is to do our best as long as it is for a good cause in the long run. Afterall, there is No perfect Human being out there. Please correct me if I am wrong? As to one of many reasons why the Almighty God we serve is great all the time. Peace.
No place like home .. and sometimes it’s better to come home quietly - that’s my plan. Don’t listen to anyone telling not to come home. They don’t know (or care) about your story. Do you ❤
it's probably rooted in their own shame of living in Nigeria - when your country doesn't treat you like a viable citizen people probably internalize shame that they then project unto others. Also, Nigerians and minding other people's business are 5&6. thanks for sharing your experience.
So true sister inflation is the whole world many of them living in one room homes in living conditions they wouldn't live in there own country...my Nigeria neighbour said to me she had no electricity for one week and family of 4 sleeps in one room to keep warm...no social life .....Racist rising black on black crime agenda for same sex and gender neutral is on school agenda work place have sensitive... main thing God law is nil and void law man goes here working round the clock to pay bills water sewage electricity Gas council tax phone bill food travel small one bed flat for £900....friend of this family had nervous break down months ago now recovering leaving his wife to pay all the bills.... Moving to new country should only move if God is telling you to move if he is in it then will be ok but if God has nothing to do with your move...then God will will have nothing to do with you in your new place..... I am Caribean moving to Nigeria in next few months.......Joy of God is iur strength in this day of battle.....
Where do you get a1 bed flat for £900? That has to be outside zone 1 to 3 in London otherwise you're very lucky! I pay £1,300 excluding council tax and other bills. Its crazy! Best plan is to go back home, trust me, especially after raising enough funds to start up a business. Life here is a monotony of work, home, eat, sleep, repeat. And that's sad.
You are right sister, most of our people think earning Euros, Pounds, and dollars can replace quality of life and peace of mind but it doesn't. That's why there's a saying home is where the heart is. Many are even homeless in the diaspora since COVID-19, but being overseas is more important to them.
Bless you. People who have never even left their country have so many opinions and judgment. It’s sad. It’s just like USA is not the same USA of 50-40-30 even 20 years ago. It’s more hostile, anti-Black, labor market is trash and violent with mass shootings, lawlessness and everything is expensive. If people want to stay in the abroad…good. If people want to reverse Japa…great. Just let people be. Goodness gracious. I’m so over people. Lol!
I just listened to a short speech by a Nigerian government official working in international affairs. She said Nigerian’s abroad send 1billion dollars a year in repatriation money. Clearly that is a priority for the Nigerian government. They encourage Nigerian’s to go abroad and send back money.
After I established my farms,I would be gradually withdrawing from Europe. There's no life here. Wake up 4 in the morning,come back 6 in the evening. Eat and sleep. Nothing to shame
NIGERIA Is A Power House the Preople are Spiritual empowered and TMH YAH will Upbuilding Inspie Nigeria and Bantu Tribes Sister we are going to Leave tor Afrika soon to be entrepreneurs in Afrika and West is falling its changing and its to be patience wise and use Discernment Home to Afrika YE A Plan buisness idea to sell buy and Prosper and visit Continent first exactly Culture Customs Opportunities HalleyluYAH APTMH
You're not dead, once there's life, there's something you've achieved, EXPERIENCE, which our people don't have, because of envy , everyone in Africa seem to be competing, life isn't a race 😉 , just keep your cool and whatever you plan stick to it, nigeria is big , neighbouring countries comes to buy loads of goods, look into what you could use the Internet to do some side hustle, country like Ghana buys alot from nigeria, take care all will work out
Most Africans have no clue what diaspora are going through abroad. I have in the U.S. for thirty five years and each time I tell family and friends I am planning to move back home they all look at me funny.
Just the way am tired of living in port Harcourt after staying away from my family for over ten years, i know am still within the same Nigeria but i just feel like going back home that's the only thing in my mind right now, nothing in this city excites anymore.
@@MrBenMedia2022 That's exactly how I feel about Lagos right now. Although I was born here, I've lived in many other cities both within and outside Nigeria before staying put there for the last 30 years. But nothing excites me about the city anymore. I'll pack my stuff and leave the city next year! Nothing and nobody can stop me!
My sister, if you came back with a British passport, na you win am o. And for you to have gotten the passport means you left and didn't japa.. All the same, wishing you all the best
If you have lived for a very long time abroad maintaining a similar lifestyle back home can be way more expensive. Food , water, electricity, health care if you require special care. The rich people in Nigeria fly abroad frequently for checkups. So it might actually be way more expensive to live in Nigeria. This is not adding to the fact that people will be asking for money constantly. Just things to consider. Are you able to run a business to fund the lifestyle. I agree with that before making such a decision to come and spend some time in the country and do some good analysis
Sister must you tell everyone that you moved back home,My own opinion you don’t own anyone explaining your situation to them and if you think you want to satisfy people opinion you on your own and you will explain tire
Most of you that are coming back already have paper and can return anytime. so no risk no confuse people. and truth there is that most of you have made it and have things running for you in Nigeria but you wont tell people this
There are millions of Nigerians doing very well in Nigeria without a foreign passport. They haven't even stepped foot outside the country. So having a foreign passport doesn't change much. It is more difficult to travel abroad now and it is more difficult to live abroad now . Many things have changed and war is coming, pandemic is coming, there is no better place to be now than in your own country because there could be worldwide lockdowns again and you may not want to be stranded in another man's land.
To "most" of all THAT travel's home is no more than a place in their minds, not all but "most",,. very few returns voluntary, otherwise the traveller's usually stays & then time seems to go quick & passes, & after 25yrs & maybe "family", plus the home They left has really changed from what they used to know, so o, wake up out of your fantasy world of what we left & try & look towards the new world which we saw & learnt of on our travels,,,❤.ps just saying,,,.
Don't mind them. They love obodo oyinbo more than their own country. Funny enough, the same things they are running away from in Nigeria are happening ten times abroad o! But they just love to put down their own country. Very shameful and sad. SMH
Although I don’t know much about Nigeria now, what I hear on social media and the news is not very encouraging. I have been selling my houses in Nigeria for a while now, and the exchange rate when bringing the dollars back to the US is disappointing. For example, I spent $300,000 in 2010 to build the house I sold last month for ₦100 million, and I was only able to convert it to $40,000 after paying commissions. I have one remaining house in Lekki, Lagos, for sale now, and I’m not happy with the offers I’m receiving for it. I haven’t been to Nigeria since 2013, which was 11 years ago, and I don’t plan on visiting the country in the next 10 years. Based on my observations, I understand why people are amazed and surprised by your return to Nigeria. I left Nigeria in 1991, 33 years ago, and have only visited the country in 2002 and 2013 since then. Although I would love a change of environment from America, Nigeria is out of the question for me. I could understand why people are surprised about your return.
A lot have changed since your last visit in 2013. If you believe what you see/hear on media,(particularly on the mainstream) and some social media platforms, then you might not want to visit, because we have been weaved mentally to think and see more of our negatives than positives, at times to the point of the absurd. The best is to have an open mind. I had a friend in your position, who did not for 20 years but braved it six years ago and have been on Nigeria yearly since then.
Hello....I wouldn't rely on the information from social media. its a good idea to visit Nigeria on more often ..Please do not he discouraged to come back. Trust me, its not as bad as the media portrays it. I have several videos on my channel that you may find useful. Living in Nigeria is one of the best things ever, I am really enjoying my stay so far. At the end of the day there is no place like home. Thank you for watching, so good to have you here.
@@akinjoaquim1013 It’s not about social media. There was no social media when I left in 1991 and came back for a visit 9 years later in 2002. There wasn’t much social media from 2002 to 2013, when I didn’t visit for 11 years. And it’s not because of social media that I haven’t visited in 11 years. The truth is that Nigeria has nothing to offer me. I’m used to a certain lifestyle, and I couldn’t cope with the lack of infrastructure and security during my two visits. My reference to social media was about the person making the video, not about why I don’t visit Nigeria. The two times I came, I stayed indoors for the entire two weeks because I don’t have friends in Nigeria to play with. I have six siblings, and I haven’t even talked to them since 2013. I don’t even know where they live or whether they’re alive or dead. Even in America, I don’t have a single Nigerian friend. So, I don’t know much about Nigeria. Even if I have to visit Nigeria, I have to apply for BVN, NIN, and passport to travel. I won't go through those hassles to visit Nigeria. I have zero interest in Nigeria and will never live in the country again, no matter what.
@@AdaLivingInspirations I had five houses in Nigeria, and I’ve been selling them since 2020. The last one is on the market for sale. Living in Nigeria is not for everyone; some of us have moved beyond that stage of life. I have houses in America, Switzerland, London, and Germany. Why would I choose Nigeria to live in over all these countries? You expect me to rely on an inverter and generator for electricity, endure sleepless nights due to neighbors' generator noise, constantly worry about kidnapping and crime, and deal with bad roads? At this stage of my life, I can’t live in that type of society. You’re right, there’s no place like home for those of us who see home as where your heart wants to be and where life is comfortable. America, Switzerland, London, and Germany are home to me. That’s where my heart wants to be, and that’s where life is comfortable for me. Home is not necessarily where you're born or where you come from.
Your comment doesn't make sense,that's why other Africans disrespect Nigerians because you don't want to stay in your country i am a Ghanaian but i will never relocate to another African country no matter how bad it is but i will rather go back for the betterment of my country
There is no shame coming back to your country. Some would wish to not have spent 30 or 40 years in America. The insult and racism you face is degrading. You are well qualified for promotion, you find out a white person less qualified is given the position. The humiliation from the police. Some Nigerians are not able to come back because they have young children.
@@adeadams9383 I disagree with that statement. There is nothing worse than you driving and a police car behind you pull you over not because you did anything wrong but you are black and they will find an excuse to give you a ticket and you thanking God you were not shot. You go home to lick your wound.

God bless you!!! There are times God will be telling us is time to move back n that uneasiness will be shown all over us just as i am feeling right now, 10yrs in south korea, now all my soul has left this land...Funny how people make millions in Nigeria yet spent on one embassy just to tarvel n works years again to rasie such money n after years want to return to same Nigeria!! I am guilty of that too and now i know better!!! Nigeria has that huge market population but the issue is that the money sent into Nigeria fromwe in disapora into Nigeria economy wasnt utilized well by the people sent to but used to enrich Alcholoic companies. They make money in Nigeria n cant reinvest it back there but use to enrich embassies n next we be blaming the Government..All over the world there is no sure security and there is a stage n age we will all get to and realsied that what we priotized now wont even be in our priorities ever again!!! 2025 i am coming back to my Mother n father land for Good!!!! Since left none of my friends or family had died of hunger or kidnapping for 10yrs but instead friends n close ones post going to parties every weekend shouting TGIF n i am here that weekend is when d work load go increase!!!! I be here in d winter woorking my ass off n dey will be making babies thens ending msges that Iyawo re ti bi mo(meaning ur wife has born) is it my own wife?? If na hardship they make themfresh eat cat fish, drink ebar, buy natives go parties, pls me too want that hardship
It was lovely to read your comment. I pray everything goes well. thank you so much for watching
My sister, I am coming to Nigeria too, ooohhhh, let them talk. I am just waiting till my home finishes. If they feel to laugh, let them laugh. I'm just managing the west here, and I'm not from Nigeria but I married a Nigerian man. .
Yes oh...exciting times!! I wish you all the best. Thank you sinmuch for watching
Ada life is short, live it where you are happy x
Thank you
Every body's situation is very different. Never compare yourself to anyone. A recipe for disaster. Remain true to yourself.
Thanks for watching
We Nigerians can be very funny.
We complain alot this country is bad ,but still someone is leaving the diaspora to come and bring about positivity or create jobs.Yet, we will question he or she .
I have been in Nigeria since January, my conclusion is we Nigerians don't really know what we want.
Most people are not ready to make sacrifice and yet we want our country to be develope.
Thank you so much for watching
They want you to remain there even when you are not okay, in other to continue bragging that their son and daughter is abroad. Very selfish people. Our japada is still causing problems, but who cares.
@@Itzngluv They love her and wouldn't want her to face the hardship and the insecurity going on in Nigeria, but she has to show them videos of all the insecurities that are also going on in UK and around the world, then they will understand her, so you don't just conclude that they are going about bragging.
I like your take on this issue....thanks for sharing this important perspective.
@kerrysmith9666 Do u think we did not explain enough or put into consideration the security and economic challenges in Nigeria before making our big japada move?People called us names like lazy ,crazy etc because we chose our mental health over pretending to be happy abroad.There is no place like home and then when people start asking why are you leaving the UK, are people not there? It shows you the level of understanding and selfishness cos what is good for Mr A may not favour Mr B. The fact remains I'm happier and my mental health is healthy here no matter what is happening right now in the country.
It is not a curse nor a shame, they are showing care and concern and perhaps afraid that you will not have the ability to go back abroad or have the means of surviving financially long time in Nigeria. So it is left to you to give them confidence that you are good and have good plans. It is pure LOVE.
You know I was speaking to my brother who also left the United Kingdom about 8 years ago returning to Zambia. Whenever we speak he tells me he has no regrets of returning there. He also asked me who did I think will build up Africa???? He said one day Hitler type figures will come to power in the west, they will prioritise those who are their kith and kin, he said they are already tired of us, our begging bowl is getting too big and they are asking themselves why we can't build a prosperous Africa...... The hostility towards migrants is getting very extreme and hot.
you are blessed for making this decision. I am glad u said no to common mentality. Everyone should take a decision based on his or her own unique circumstances. If returning home based on your own assessment is better for you. Then return. Welcome home !!!
Those who want to go are free to go as well. Do your due diligence and migrate.
many thanks 😊
God bless you for this video. I wish I could reach you and tell you my own experience with some Nigerians who verbally attacked me for sharing a similar view..
Please do, you can reach me on contactadaokorie@gmail.com
You have made the right decition
Thank you
Wow
Life is dealing with people in different ways...be bold and do what you want❤❤
Thank you
God bless u dear. Living abroad is terrible. People back home do not understand what is really going on outside the world .
Thank you for watching 😊
At this point in life we prefer to be home.thanks my dear you said it all.
You are so welcome
👏👏👏👏salute to you my sister. I have done the same thing and relocated back to the continent. It’s so important for people to respect our decision in making our choices. Seen all the negative side but I know how to deal with it and speak my mind so people stop asking silly questions. There is no place like home.
Yes oh...no place like home
If you have a better life in Nigeria then fine.... Good for you
Thank you for watching
PREACHHHHH Sis👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you
You are okay dear do what is right for you and family
Thank you
Thank you for the inspiration I love my country
Yes oh...
We were born and raised in that country and no matter what, it is still HOME...
Lagos is really home for me and I do not in any way question people who are coming back...
We should accept the decisions from others...
They are the ones taking the decisions, all we need is to support them and not traumatize them..
Be Loving towards all those who are heading back to their ROOTS..
Thank you!
Your comment made my day. Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching 😊
I have lived in America for 34yrs i can’t live Nigeria but the good news is that I’ve been to many other African countries I will definitely be retiring in Africa for sure. Africa is home Africa is interconnected now if I want to deal with 9ja wahala entry plane from Rwanda go 9ja fly back to base in Africa when I am done
Build relationship anywhere you. 9ja ppl full Africa well well that’s the blessing of been Nigerian
Thank you so much for watching
@babajidekolawole2743 same page Africa is interconnected ...and Rwanda is a beautiful place, not a place without electricity like 9ja. 24/7 electricity is important to me if I were to go back which is not possible in 9ja
34 years in America and you haven't moved back and will not either. Countries have gone from baseline to first world countries in that time. All of you blacks are the same everywhere, all talk and no action
I salute your courage ,
Thank you so much
My sister, never mind the naysayers. Nigeria is actually a great country. There’s inflation everywhere but not that pronounced in the US or UK. Broke people don’t go to Nigeria. Also, people with no vision or better things to do stay behind in abroad. Welcome back home.
Thank you so much
You're absolutely right! It's strong balls and vision to come back to naija at this point in time!
@@AdaLivingInspirations How long did you stay in the UK for?
@AdaLivingInspirations It's OK to move to Nigeria if you have your Papers and Documents sorted
So that you have the option of easy mobility
People must Talk. Let them talk. Tell the talkers to carry themselves and move abroad if they like it so much. ALWAYS DO WHAT YOUR SPIRIT DIRECTS IS BETTER FOR YOU.
Thank you so much
Great video
I have been abroad for 17 years and planning to return home. Nigeria has problems but which country dosen't.
Caribbean countries are facing uncertainty due to climate change and disasters which are intensifying
Europe and the U.S. are becoming very hostile towards migrants. Deportations and xenophobia is going to increase rapidly.
And there's a coming global economic collape. And there's war coming to the west.
Any Nigerian abroad after 2025 should prepare to be stranded.
Thanks..this is really encouraging
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's true that many countries face their own challenges, and it's important to stay informed and prepared for what lies ahead.
'Planning'. Just do it n-word. Tired of you n-words and your chatty patty. Be a man
It is not a curse nor shame, they are showing care and concern and perhaps afraid that you will not have the ability to go back abroad or have the means of surviving financially long time in Nigeria.

I really like your take on this matter....interesting. thank you do much for watching
I better braze up to answer all these damn questions from relatives and friends o
Yes oh....thank you for watching 😊
They will surely be angry bc you will no longer be sending money once you return.. It's not really about you.
Home is best and you gorgeous ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Well done. I envy you.
Thank you
You're a smart woman ❤😂🎉
Thank you so much for watching
I agree with you
Good for you and the family. As long as you and the family are happy, as long as it is for a good cause in the long run that is what matters most at the end of the day. As humans we can't make everyone else happy all the time. Please take note of that. All we can do each as a human being is to do our best as long as it is for a good cause in the long run. Afterall, there is No perfect Human being out there. Please correct me if I am wrong? As to one of many reasons why the Almighty God we serve is great all the time. Peace.
Thank you for you insightful comment. So good to have you here
@@AdaLivingInspirations You are welcome. My pleasure to be here. Thank you also in return. Much appreciated. Peace and God bless...
Its not a shame but self love
You have your peace of mind
Thank you so much for watching
Itd not shame but courage 💪 God is in every details i went work too God is doing great things .
Thank you
No place like home .. and sometimes it’s better to come home quietly - that’s my plan.
Don’t listen to anyone telling not to come home. They don’t know (or care) about your story. Do you ❤
Thank you so much
it's probably rooted in their own shame of living in Nigeria - when your country doesn't treat you like a viable citizen people probably internalize shame that they then project unto others. Also, Nigerians and minding other people's business are 5&6. thanks for sharing your experience.
Thaks Lanre, so lovely to have you here
Thank you😊
You're welcome 😊
Every one choice should be respected
Exactly
So true sister inflation is the whole world many of them living in one room homes in living conditions they wouldn't live in there own country...my Nigeria neighbour said to me she had no electricity for one week and family of 4 sleeps in one room to keep warm...no social life .....Racist rising black on black crime agenda for same sex and gender neutral is on school agenda work place have sensitive... main thing God law is nil and void law man goes here working round the clock to pay bills water sewage electricity Gas council tax phone bill food travel small one bed flat for £900....friend of this family had nervous break down months ago now recovering leaving his wife to pay all the bills....
Moving to new country should only move if God is telling you to move if he is in it then will be ok but if God has nothing to do with your move...then God will will have nothing to do with you in your new place..... I am Caribean moving to Nigeria in next few months.......Joy of God is iur strength in this day of battle.....
Thanks for the insight...much appreciated
Where do you get a1 bed flat for £900? That has to be outside zone 1 to 3 in London otherwise you're very lucky! I pay £1,300 excluding council tax and other bills. Its crazy! Best plan is to go back home, trust me, especially after raising enough funds to start up a business. Life here is a monotony of work, home, eat, sleep, repeat. And that's sad.
Interesting
There is no shame ooo. Home is Home
Yes oh
I want to return to Nigeria but lacks the courage although iv got British Nationality, home is the best 👌
Yes oh ......home is the best
At least you admit you're worthless. Most of the rest of these n-words don't
You are right sister, most of our people think earning Euros, Pounds, and dollars can replace quality of life and peace of mind but it doesn't. That's why there's a saying home is where the heart is. Many are even homeless in the diaspora since COVID-19, but being overseas is more important to them.
Thank you so much for your insights
❤❤❤❤
🥰🥰
Bless you. People who have never even left their country have so many opinions and judgment. It’s sad. It’s just like USA is not the same USA of 50-40-30 even 20 years ago. It’s more hostile, anti-Black, labor market is trash and violent with mass shootings, lawlessness and everything is expensive. If people want to stay in the abroad…good. If people want to reverse Japa…great. Just let people be. Goodness gracious. I’m so over people. Lol!
True talk. Thank you so much for your insight.
I just listened to a short speech by a Nigerian government official working in international affairs. She said Nigerian’s abroad send 1billion dollars a year in repatriation money. Clearly that is a priority for the Nigerian government. They encourage Nigerian’s to go abroad and send back money.
Thank you so much for watching
After I established my farms,I would be gradually withdrawing from Europe. There's no life here. Wake up 4 in the morning,come back 6 in the evening. Eat and sleep. Nothing to shame

You're not dead, once there's life, there's something you've achieved, EXPERIENCE, which our people don't have, because of envy , everyone in Africa seem to be competing, life isn't a race 😉 , just keep your cool and whatever you plan stick to it, nigeria is big , neighbouring countries comes to buy loads of goods, look into what you could use the Internet to do some side hustle, country like Ghana buys alot from nigeria, take care all will work out
Thank you so much for watching
Most Africans have no clue what diaspora are going through abroad. I have in the U.S. for thirty five years and each time I tell family and friends I am planning to move back home they all look at me funny.
At the end of the day.....one has to do what's best for them. Thank you so much for watching
Just the way am tired of living in port Harcourt after staying away from my family for over ten years, i know am still within the same Nigeria but i just feel like going back home that's the only thing in my mind right now, nothing in this city excites anymore.
That feeling is if you know you know....thank you si much for your commitment. So good to have you here
@@MrBenMedia2022 That's exactly how I feel about Lagos right now. Although I was born here, I've lived in many other cities both within and outside Nigeria before staying put there for the last 30 years. But nothing excites me about the city anymore. I'll pack my stuff and leave the city next year! Nothing and nobody can stop me!
You so beautiful i thought you were South African
Awww....thanks for the compliment ☺️
Your skin is glowing, mama ❤
Yes oh....the skin is really "skinning"
How long you been abraod?
My sister, if you came back with a British passport, na you win am o. And for you to have gotten the passport means you left and didn't japa..
All the same, wishing you all the best
Thank you
How can someone say it is a shame to return to her country?...you guys of this generation are so misguided!
So true.....thank you for watching
If you have lived for a very long time abroad maintaining a similar lifestyle back home can be way more expensive. Food , water, electricity, health care if you require special care. The rich people in Nigeria fly abroad frequently for checkups. So it might actually be way more expensive to live in Nigeria. This is not adding to the fact that people will be asking for money constantly. Just things to consider. Are you able to run a business to fund the lifestyle. I agree with that before making such a decision to come and spend some time in the country and do some good analysis
Thanks for watching
My dear, make your decision alone, let people talk. Things are bad EVERYWHERE!!!
thanks for watching
Sister must you tell everyone that you moved back home,My own opinion you don’t own anyone explaining your situation to them and if you think you want to satisfy people opinion you on your own and you will explain tire

when does it become a shame to come back home. there is no place like home. home is where your destiny is.
Yes oh
No mind dem!
OMG! many thanks for the "Super thanks" much appreciated
@@redbunnyclassic thanks so much
Most of you that are coming back already have paper and can return anytime. so no risk no confuse people. and truth there is that most of you have made it and have things running for you in Nigeria but you wont tell people this
Thanks for watching
There are millions of Nigerians doing very well in Nigeria without a foreign passport. They haven't even stepped foot outside the country. So having a foreign passport doesn't change much. It is more difficult to travel abroad now and it is more difficult to live abroad now . Many things have changed and war is coming, pandemic is coming, there is no better place to be now than in your own country because there could be worldwide lockdowns again and you may not want to be stranded in another man's land.
Say it loud
yes oh
They think living in abroad is the ultimate
Thank you for watching
To "most" of all THAT travel's home is no more than a place in their minds, not all but "most",,. very few returns voluntary, otherwise the traveller's usually stays & then time seems to go quick & passes, & after 25yrs & maybe "family", plus the home They left has really changed from what they used to know, so o, wake up out of your fantasy world of what we left & try & look towards the new world which we saw & learnt of on our travels,,,❤.ps just saying,,,.
Thank you for your insight ti this matter. So good to have you here
Don't mind them. They love obodo oyinbo more than their own country. Funny enough, the same things they are running away from in Nigeria are happening ten times abroad o! But they just love to put down their own country. Very shameful and sad. SMH

❤A lot of NIGERIANS are people PLEASERS 😂😂
Thanks for watching
Although I don’t know much about Nigeria now, what I hear on social media and the news is not very encouraging. I have been selling my houses in Nigeria for a while now, and the exchange rate when bringing the dollars back to the US is disappointing. For example, I spent $300,000 in 2010 to build the house I sold last month for ₦100 million, and I was only able to convert it to $40,000 after paying commissions. I have one remaining house in Lekki, Lagos, for sale now, and I’m not happy with the offers I’m receiving for it. I haven’t been to Nigeria since 2013, which was 11 years ago, and I don’t plan on visiting the country in the next 10 years. Based on my observations, I understand why people are amazed and surprised by your return to Nigeria. I left Nigeria in 1991, 33 years ago, and have only visited the country in 2002 and 2013 since then. Although I would love a change of environment from America, Nigeria is out of the question for me. I could understand why people are surprised about your return.
A lot have changed since your last visit in 2013. If you believe what you see/hear on media,(particularly on the mainstream) and some social media platforms, then you might not want to visit, because we have been weaved mentally to think and see more of our negatives than positives, at times to the point of the absurd. The best is to have an open mind. I had a friend in your position, who did not for 20 years but braved it six years ago and have been on Nigeria yearly since then.
Thank you so much for your insights. That is a good one. "The best is to have an open" always good to have you here.
Hello....I wouldn't rely on the information from social media. its a good idea to visit Nigeria on more often ..Please do not he discouraged to come back. Trust me, its not as bad as the media portrays it. I have several videos on my channel that you may find useful. Living in Nigeria is one of the best things ever, I am really enjoying my stay so far. At the end of the day there is no place like home. Thank you for watching, so good to have you here.
@@akinjoaquim1013 It’s not about social media. There was no social media when I left in 1991 and came back for a visit 9 years later in 2002. There wasn’t much social media from 2002 to 2013, when I didn’t visit for 11 years. And it’s not because of social media that I haven’t visited in 11 years. The truth is that Nigeria has nothing to offer me. I’m used to a certain lifestyle, and I couldn’t cope with the lack of infrastructure and security during my two visits. My reference to social media was about the person making the video, not about why I don’t visit Nigeria. The two times I came, I stayed indoors for the entire two weeks because I don’t have friends in Nigeria to play with. I have six siblings, and I haven’t even talked to them since 2013. I don’t even know where they live or whether they’re alive or dead. Even in America, I don’t have a single Nigerian friend. So, I don’t know much about Nigeria. Even if I have to visit Nigeria, I have to apply for BVN, NIN, and passport to travel. I won't go through those hassles to visit Nigeria. I have zero interest in Nigeria and will never live in the country again, no matter what.
@@AdaLivingInspirations I had five houses in Nigeria, and I’ve been selling them since 2020. The last one is on the market for sale. Living in Nigeria is not for everyone; some of us have moved beyond that stage of life. I have houses in America, Switzerland, London, and Germany. Why would I choose Nigeria to live in over all these countries? You expect me to rely on an inverter and generator for electricity, endure sleepless nights due to neighbors' generator noise, constantly worry about kidnapping and crime, and deal with bad roads? At this stage of my life, I can’t live in that type of society. You’re right, there’s no place like home for those of us who see home as where your heart wants to be and where life is comfortable. America, Switzerland, London, and Germany are home to me. That’s where my heart wants to be, and that’s where life is comfortable for me. Home is not necessarily where you're born or where you come from.
They are crazy

There is no shame coming back to your country. Some would wish to not have spent 30 or 40 years in America. The insult and racism you face is degrading. You are well qualified for promotion, you find out a white person less qualified is given the position. The humiliation from the police. Some Nigerians are not able to come back because they have young children.
Thanks for the insights
The tribalism in Nigeria is way worse than any racism I have or could ever face here in the UK 🇬🇧

There is nothing worse than you driving and a police car behind you pull you over not because you did anything wrong but you are black and they will find an excuse to give you a ticket and you thanking God you were not shot.
