Why We Dont Regret Moving AbroadNigerians

Published by Nairaland on Mon, 16 Jun 2025


<blockquote>Some <b>Nigerians in diaspora have trooped to social media to justify their relocation to the United States, the United Kingdom, and other developed countries.</b><br><br>The Nigerians stated via X that <b>the anomalies that forced them to leave Nigeria had worsened</b>. They insisted that <b>the decision to exit the country was reasonable and justifiable</b>.<br><br>The conversation started after an X user, Michael Taiwo, posed a question on Wednesday.<br><br>Nigerians abroad, with everything you now know, do you honestly think staying in Naija wouldve been better' Taiwo wrote.<br><br>Reacting to the question, a popular United Kingdom-based life coach and writer, Solomon Buchi, said he would have experienced more police brutality in Nigeria if he had not relocated.<br><br><i><b>My son would have been born into that dysfunctional society and my anxiety levels would be wild. With everything I know now, I actually wish I left Nigeria in my teens</b>,</i> Buchi said.<br><br>Also, a United States-based Nigerian, Sir Sean, said the only thing he missed about leaving the country was the food, the people, the raw energy.<br><br>I may be hustling from scratch, but at least the hustle has structure. Im not begging NEPA (sic) to give me light, or praying every day that I dont land in the hospital with no doctor on duty. Abroad isnt paradise, but at least effort gives you results, Sean said.<br><br>Another UK-based Nigerian, Samuel Desh, recounted how policemen once threatened him after stopping him in an Uber.<br><br>Desh, who attached a video clip to his comment, wrote, Maybe Ill come back when the police will let me record them like I did in this video, when they will speak to citizens with respect, and when they will treat alleged criminals with respect too, and when they will respond promptly to Emergency calls like they did in this video.<br><br>There is absolutely no way you can compare staying abroad in Nigeria. Politicians have turned Nigeria into hell fireUntil we repent and rebuild, I am sorry to say that it will only get worse. The best decision is the move abroad, if not for anything, for your kids. Their security and education are guaranteed, said Obiorah Otu.<br><br>Adekunle Oderinde wrote, Japa gives you the opportunity to achieve. Its not just the peace or the safety; its the runway to apply yourself and succeed. When you japa, you can work hard, be honest, and live your dreams.<br><br>Meanwhile, some other Nigerians differed on the matter, preferring Nigeria to other countries abroad.<br><br>Purple Fire stated, Honestly, I believe staying in Naija can be better, if youre purposeful and willing to build. Abroad offers structure, yes, but also loneliness, culture shock, and a life of constant bills and chasing survival. In Nigeria, youre home family is near, community support is real.</blockquote><br><a rel=ugc href="https://punchng.com/why-we-dont-regret-moving-abroad-nigerians/'fbclid=IwQ0xDSwK6PN5jbGNrAro80mV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEecQ7Poe7MkhQXJxAstSaThA66zI5Uw1W36K_nDVMm4YbDzqXJLFpdx5-Dn6M_aem_G7erHxB9UGCslaw2XaFM4A#google_vignette">https://punchng.com/why-we-dont-regret-moving-abroad-nigerians/'fbclid=IwQ0xDSwK6PN5jbGNrAro80mV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEecQ7Poe7MkhQXJxAstSaThA66zI5Uw1W36K_nDVMm4YbDzqXJLFpdx5-Dn6M_aem_G7erHxB9UGCslaw2XaFM4A#google_vignette</a>
