Yes sir, the pasture is very green on the other side, and I speak from personal experience. I am 45 years old this year and the best decision I’ve ever made was to leave Nigeria about twelve years ago. I thank God everyday that left that place. That country nearly killed me with frustration and hopelessness. To every young Nigerian reading this, I have only one advice for you. LEAVE NOW!
Don't worry. We know those who said the same thing decades ago. Today, they're living in poverty, regret and severe illnesses. Na body go tell you when the time reach.
Please speak for yourself . Traveling abroad does not mean you will make it ... A friend of my travelled to Canada 4 years now and yet his still finding his foot and I know a guy that traveled to Iran just last year his basking in money now... Is just destinies are different ...
The fact that he is reporting from victoria island and not okomaiko or agege says it all.The only decent place in lagos is the island basically..A country that the governments doesn't even understand how to regenerate a city,nevermind citizen development.The governors collect company tax,they collet VAT.collect POS tax,collect federal allocation yet the city and country is a shanty no infrastructures.Nigerians provide basic infrastructures for themselves from drinking water,to healthcare to electricity etc.
In NGR you are a GOVT onto yourself. You provide yourself with everything and you still pay the CRIMINAL GANG called "government" tax. Government in NIGERIA live off the sweat and SUFFERING of her POOR INNOCENT SUFFERING citizens; especially LAGOS STATE 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦😡😡😡😳🥺!!!!!
Instead of waiting for the youth to just run away, why don't the useless government leaders just start developing several government-backed trade schools and well-paying agricultural and industrial programs that educate and engage these restless youth before they flee by providing a form of useful and honorable nation-building skills that will enrich every aspect of Nigeria and her people. I mean, this is a very easy fix if the Nigerian leadership is willing to create these nation-enriching projects for building sound buildings, and for creating useful and beneficial industries that will restore this country's dignity and self reliance. Ijs! WAKE UP, NIGERIA! 😢 WOW!😫
If it's not green why are your senators, reps and president going for medical tourism in an ungreen pasture 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Being diplomatic sometimes make you sound stupid ...... Especially when you can same time call out the truth .... Start with those president and reps then senate .. let their kids stay back aswell and serve the nation for good .. why must the poor be the ones to understand that it's their father's land .... Pls keep your view straight not slanted
Sadly our biggest challenge as Africans is not that we're incapable, but its the fact that we lose talent to countries who are already well established....may our governments improve their style of governance do encourage skilled individuals to stay at home.
As at today with the level of corruption and audacious impunity, Nigeria has no future for the youth, that is the bitter truth . I agree that the grass looks greener on the outside side, however when one is on that other side, with focus, determination, and hard work…….the resources put in place by credible institutions will work for you, and your dedication will pay off. The average Nigerian youth is industrious and full of ingenuity but the system has failed the youths severally Nigeria lacks the basics that will help the young to grow.
Channels what an embarrassment to your station to feature a Lebanese person of all people on a story about Nigerians leaving the country. You couldn't find a Nigerian doctor to speak on the state of our medical industry or the implications of doctors leaving?? You bring in some random Lebanese who has been in the country for three years??? Truly mental. Somebody at the station has given their boyfriend free publicity.
If you like to stay back in Nigeria it's your decision and if you like to leave for abroad it's my advice for you. Weigh your choices and option for one😂😂😂😂😂
First thing is that the country is stagnant economically - unless drastic and effective policies are put in place, tons of young Nigerians will continue to emigrate.

If the office of judges can compromise 😢for just a piece of bread it means there’s no hope. Please since our leaders are unrepentant thieves let the youths leave the country for them ! I weep for our fathers who keep looting 😢the country one day there won’t be Nigeria to steal from

U don’t know how u have been left behind Bcos u have never traveled out of Nigeria
Did you have to end with that stale and stupid question, "Is the grass green on the other side"? Well, it's green enough for your leaders to send their kids over there. And it's green enough that, as you reported, most startups are owned by returnees... P.S: I hope you got the consent of those people waiting in line....

Do you know what it is to suffer abroad? My brother don’t make that mistake to think abroad is heaven. If hand meet you abroad you will beg to go back to Nigeria.
Its a pity that we only see the youths who the government is hell bent frustrating "japaying". What about the rich ones that they and their family drain the wealth of the nation and still stay abroad. They render Nija unliveable, and japa abroad with their families.

They shall make it in Jesus name amen. Only God will judge the wicked, and that, very soon in Jesus name amen
Your analysis is funny. U are lucky your station now earns in a foreign currency. If not, it will shut down ASAP. U made a negative statement of Japa "a job where there is none available." Is that what happens in every country.? 😅😅 Are u saying Nigeria 🇳🇬 is better off and now gives her youth jobs..
The question should be why?what is causing it? if I have my way I will leave for good don't blame Nigerian youth the government only fund their pockets.
It's not the government's job to fund your pockets. It's not even your parent's job. Adults take care of themselves. But you members of this generation are just goōd-for-nothing.
Is green pasture on the other side really green or not? Nigerians are fed up with the country's situation, so they are free to explore other countries. You even feel ashamed being called a Nigerian in foreign countries. Anyway, it is still better than wallowing in poverty
Why won't they japa... When u have a stupid politicians especially Apc and their presidents whom made us worst than what we are.... Let them leave Abeg.... Cos it doesn't make sense to be in this expired country called Nigeria
What do you expect, a failed country gilled with hatred, tribalism and fake religious hatred without development in the country, no jobs nothing as a young adult in nigeria all i do is think, you wake up everyday by 4am beat traffic get to your miserable job with little salary, your transportation takes everything you end up borrowing and paying back immediately your next month salary comes in
If even where they are, jappa going, and life is becoming unbearable. Many of this japa may end up in disappointment. Life in England, the US, and Canada is never easy. Things are expensive, have high inflation, are homeless, Drug, Alcoholic is high. Some Nigeria that japa to London are regretting it, japa depends on luck. I left a sore of Nigeria 31 years ago, still picking the pieces. Many want returns home, but home has left many of us.
Don't deceive people who want to japa. USA is full of opportunities. Opportunity to excel and opportunity to useless yourself. The choice is yours. If you have anything to offer, sky will not limit you. If you go there for play-play, you better remain in Nigeria where you can at least try 419. That's the truth.
