When I first moved abroad, I struggled so bad that one day I broke down on the phone to my family, my dad told me, “Come back home, your parents are still alive, we can still take care of you, come back”
Truly, as a parent the biggest gift you can give to your child is a HOME!!!
I envy people that had the foresight to leave Nigeria and start up/establish their families and businesses in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and some Schenghen countries.
My faith in this country and fear of starting all over really kept me here. Sigh
I can never understand Nigerian politics. Someone finished his time after a terribly woeful performance as power minister, to go and contest for Governorship election. And rather than arrive his state in humility and address the press solemnly - acknowledging the challenges and how there's a lot of work to be done, he gathered a crowd at the airport and declared a "heroic" welcome. Then started climbing jeep and waiving left and right like someone that just delivered 24/7 electricity. Never seen such shameless arrogance in failure.
