    i recently ditched a visa interview to travel to the US ( i got a job and the only thing keeping from starting is my Visa) and last week, the morning of the interview, i refused to leave my house for the interview after flying to Lagos from Abuja for just this interview. something kept telling to stay back in Nigeria. seeing your post gave me the conviction that it was God telling me stay back because why do i find soo much peace in this decision that doesnt make sense?

      Wrong move. Much smart to have homes in both regions. Better to get remote jobs then come back home. The USA is a lot more fast paced or aggressive, but if you fall in somewhere like New York you can always get up quickly & keep moving. Life is not easy, embrace that pressure if you don’t want your kids to suffer

      You already have a Nigeria passport by birth now you have an opportunity to have both Nigeria and the blue passport. Kindly check if it's God speaking or the fear of the unknown.

    Exact same story..... My clarity was wayyyy too clear. God needed me to pause.... I was always on the GOOOOOOOOOOO, I needed to see, touch and feel my family .... 6+ years !!! AHH!!! All my friends were moving to Canada, UK etc... But I kept hearing GO HOME and I promise you, home has done wayyyyy too much good for me. GOD IS A CONSTANT.

    Sweetness you’ve just helped a grandma of 12. Though I was born in UK I don’t like it here anymore and have been visiting home as I am so desperate to move back since mum passed and I brought her corpse home 2016 but my eldest doesn’t like home I pay she does. She is the reason I’m still here due to m her children who loves to see me more .
    Thank you I’m from this day going to pray about it and home I come . I beg the cold is hurting my knees but when I’m back home no knees problems or bone aches.
    Thanks a million.Congratulations on your decisions to listen to HIM . Keep the fresh food I’m coming o.

    Saw this clip & decided to click on it. First of, I’m sorry to hear about your Mom, I hope they found her safe & sound 🙏🏾.
    I’ve been wanting to move back home for a decade now because I’m tired of Europe & I’ve always said after I graduate I’ll move back home to Kenya. Graduated 7 years ago & I’m still in Europe lol because I wanna hustle to establish something to make an income back home but honestly I get more & more irritated living here as the years go by 😮‍💨. God has unfortunately not given me the sign to move back yet 😩. Our people need to understand that there’s nothing here in Europe, but suffering after suffering with a lot of racism in the mix. It is well
    I wish you well sis 🙏🏾

    You got it, the chief benefit of walking with God is that you were privileged to find the God you were created to worship. Not that you will get “stuff” because you worship him.
    That a dead man is made alive to live eternally in this world, and the world to come with Jesus. There is nothing that can surpass this as a blessing.

    Stumbling across this video undoubtedly stirred up a curiosity to see and hear the content which is quite interesting and amazing. Having made your decision based on your spiritual discernment and purpose, is something we humans can never understand and relate to. It’s a conviction at an individual level. Certainly I wish you all the best on this path you’ve taken. In my own experience, happiness/joy is something I think it’s intrinsic, may not be in a place or destination. There’s no utopian paradise anywhere on this planet earth. I left Nigeria first time in 2013 as a young ambitious and naive guy, came back in 2015 with a high pulsating expectation of “no place like home mantra”, the experiences I got there still cause me PTSD till date. I eventually left to live in the UK and subsequently US, and having settled in both countries for a relative time, it dawned on me that everyone needs to introspect deeply on individual basis what’s the “push and pull” factor that drive their migration/immigration aspirations.

They plan kidnaps, house buggle etc.. be careful how you give out information to people close friends or not, cos you returned from abroad you can be a target, then watch your lifestyle. You can dress down and even put on bathroom slippers while going to the bank sef😅

    Honestly the abroad is most times not a bed of roses or a better place than Nigeria. Yes there are some things better abroad than in Nigeria, but to am extent there's anothet kind of peace that you cannot get in the abroad. Only in Nigeria. And yes somany people would like to book a flight to Nigeria tomorrow but if you don't have an okay family to cover your nyansh while you try to get on your feet, it's big wahala. In the abroad you can still survive small even in a minimum wage job. Unless when you run into immigration wahala or health issues. If you have the means to earn an okay money in Nigeria, Nigeria is the place. Abroad is depressing

    Why can’t Nigerians abroad adjust when they come back home fully knowing the country is evolving and changing for the better even though it is slow. If they don’t want to roll up their sleeves and get to work and help it grow, they should just stay back wherever they are stationed instead of coming online to make these kind of videos. It’s becoming sickening to see and hear them complain about the same thing over and over again. We know the country has many issues and needs our help and not all these bellyaching all the time.

    It's so funny when people use religion to support everything, please use your head and do the right thing at the right time. I am not saying God doesn't exist but before you move, plan a solid plan how to survive where you are going, plan three steps ahead before making a move. How can God tell you to move and face all these challenges please we need to do the right thing to get the right result and not put religion for everything. I come in peace.
