In this life, you have to know what you want for yourself. Let your vision drive you. Be smart, and be passionate enough not to let anything distract you.
Don’t get carried away by what others are doing. Stay in your lane, run your race, and most importantly… face front.
This is a lazy argument wrapped in sarcasm.
By your logic, if governance is “working,” everyone abroad should immediately pack their bags and come home? So why haven’t millions returned to Nigeria as a whole? Or is that standard only convenient when you want to mock Alex Otti?
People don’t relocate based on vibes or a few months of policy changes. Migration is driven by deep economic structures like jobs, industry, trade access and long-term stability.
If you’re serious about development, ask bigger questions like:
Why are the seaports in the Niger Delta underutilized?
Why is trade still bottlenecked in one region?
Why aren’t we decentralizing economic opportunities so people can actually thrive in their states?
Fix those structural issues and you won’t need to beg people to return. They will come naturally.
Until then, this “how many have moved back” line isn’t insightful but it’s just noise.
