Very interesting session here. Key point: these two were born abroad and decided to come to Naija and establish themselves. quite different from folks that are Jakpaing now. Find your purpose / passion and see if Nigeria really works for you!❤
Trust me, from all the topic you discussed especially on this program. This is the best form. I have been thinking of how to move back to Nigeria 🇳🇬 I am so thrilled!!! Thank you for this particular episode
Them get British passport if he hard dem go japa. Leave that talk. If you have money Naija is the place to be but if you are young with no job, no man know man you NEED to japa. I done japa. When I make money I go come back come start business employ people until then ciao.
Have been slowly reintegrating. I am in structural engineering. I'm currently in agriculture in Benue State. One must definitely pick their poison. I enjoy efficiencies here that are not abroad.
@@followGreatness Agric because I've tried real estate, textiles, import/export and a number of things. I've run into all the typical problems from family scamming me, to my driver destroying my car and expecting me to buy another one for him to drive his own family. I've learned quite a bit in the last 15 years and in the end, agriculture was the most natural, especially here in Makurdi. So whilst I build up my economic base through agriculture, I will use this financial stability to drive my search to get into engineering. I've seen the Chinese take over this industry and have been slowly making connections and navigating the landscape to leverage my birthright but more so, show Nigerian government that we Nigerians are just as good, if not better. I've been overlooked simply because I'm Nigerian which had me seriously confused at first, then I realized, I need to establish myself economically. I built my business up abroad from scratch because there it's not as easy to discriminate based on looks, odd that this happens at home. They don't care about your tribe or religion, they care only if you provide the service they need. Anyway, some of the efficiencies here is that, there are no long and drawn out processes if you have the money, you hire people, build what you need to build and start production. I can go on, but this is enough for now. I laughed when Japa became a thing, because our people are very ignorant to what we have here at home. Yes, it's difficult, but it will not be easy anywhere you go especially abroad when you are competing against people who work twice as hard and are willing to do anything in some instances. Here people work very hard, but people are also willing to help even if you are a direct competitor, they see the value in everyone succeeding. Which is ironic because the government works against us as if they don't see our suffering. If they stop stealing and sharing and start investing and developing, they themselves will increase 100x. What we have naturally is what these Western countries are starting wars to control and when the get control, see how they transform their countries. Some how oil that has made the Arabs respected by even America has thrown us into total confusion. Anyway, we'll soon get the governance bit sorted and you'll begin to see everyone flooding back. At that point, those who left and start to see it's better at home might be too late. I simply started 15 years ago and its slowly coming together one one day at a time.
Ironically, their parents won't agree with them on this. Their parents made the first decision that made their own decision make sense. NIGERIA IS PROFITABLE FOR THE RICH AND POWERFUL.
