I left the UK after a 20-year sojourn in the UK. I never for once felt comfortable there. I always knew I would return home one day. How I would return to Nigeria was not planned but in 2013, the opportunity presented itself and I left. Been here for 11 years and I have seen everything, the good, the bad and the ugly. For me, this is home. there is something here, you cannot explain about living here full time. Nigeria is a 360-degree story. it's not what is pushed on TV. Yes, some of the things you watch on TV are here but it's not all bad news. The fun you can have here is second to none. People live the life most can't live abroad. Nigeria is NOT for everyone but here is HOME. My advice to anyone is DON'T forget HOME. keep a piece of home with you regardless of where you are in the world. Come home and see for yourself. Nigeria is STILL the future regardless of what is going on now. What is happening now is the fight for the soul of Nigeria. Las las Nigeria will be great. WELCOME home summer
I JAPA-DA after having all my ducks lined up. please plan well, I am living my dream because of long plan Nigeria is not different from the rest of the global economic crisis . I love it here because my racial identity did not define me.
@@sacassashimidrama7088 Thanks, I made it overseas despite my color skin and I am back in my country where despite driving a Range rover and have a Jaguar XJ to my usage I am still careful of the police stopping my car going to have a decent evening at Red Lobster with my wife.I woke up at my home here in Lagos without worrying. I am not disputing your life being a happy N...ER over in the State. Good luck.
Thanks, Summer! I commented on a RUclips post where a lady mentioned she’s going back to Nigeria, and I advised her to make a solid plan before returning. Someone replied, saying you don’t need a plan to go back to your motherland, and I just laughed. Some people don’t even realize what it’s like to live abroad for 10 or 15 years and then suddenly decide to go back to Nigeria.
I think Summer should be employed in NIDCOM to work with A bike Dabiri on diaspora matters. She's got a good experience to counsel people on how to manage diaspora life ( staying, returning, investment among others). Keep it up you're doing a productive job.
I Kept telling myself "I'm going to make Money in Nigeria and Spend it in Nigeria" and I'm Working towards it every day by God's Grace... NIGERIA IS BEST PLACE TO LIVE A COMFORTABLE LIFE! ♥️♥️
True , Africa is the next frontier and the West knows it. African countries are the best forget all this Western bling bling and their marketing strategy to draw people to their countries. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 God bless Africa ✊🏿✊🏿
Thank you Summer for this video. Yes, there are people rolling in money in Nigeria; the upper classes, business owners, property owners in the abroad etc. etc. Summer, each person will have their own experiences. One must PLAN! STRATEGIZE!
Thank you for your honest opinion. God bless you. But I’d like to say that what motivates one person to move back home may not be the same factor motivating others. Not everyone is motivated by financial benefits or by building & owning gigantic mansions. Many people love their peace of mind, political stability, and safe environment for their kids. And even within the context of money, many of the so called big boys in Nigeria who are “doing well” are criminals who are into all manners of corner cutting real estate and oil scandals. Becoming a very comfortable person in Nigeria comes with a lot of compromise which many people who love their dignity and integrity will never want to do. Earning your $5000 per month abroad and paying all the taxes and bills is hard, but is a decent way of living for many people. Nothing trumps peace and contentment. All the same, God bless you for your honesty. Wishing you a fabulous time in Nigeria and a prosperous shortlet business. Blessings
Well done for telling your story and the advice. Yes you're so right about the headaches and body pain, I went back after 20yrs abroad and was waiting for the insistent pain I used to feel, I never felt ant pain , only to return back to my base and two days later came this pain. So yes you're so right.
Someone must surely PLAN WELL before you Japada. You must have aA solid plan. I come to Nigeria often so I can keep mapping up or marking what I need to do for my comeback.
@@yetundeAdesoji8265 That's the best approach, you have to come home prior to your move. If you have a home overseas especially in US don't selling yiu can rent for extra hard currency especially if your home is paid off. There are many businesses here at home that will guarantee you a flow of cash if you're monitoring it with a Hawkeye, to be sincere 8ja workers are not like American. They prey on you here, they assumed that you already made it hence they can take advantage of you they're corrupt like city hall.
It's advisable for anybody who is regularly working permanently in advanced country where peace love and unity reigns should stay away from japada idea back to Nigeria . Until every single nigerians submit itself to the national rules and regulations ( Nigeria constitution ) for this reason that almost 75 % of nigerians don't respect the law from the rich to me poor fabricate insecurity, injustice, corruption, looting, bribery, kidnapping, bad infrastructure etc. example: anybody, either government officials, oagbero, or any vagabond can just wake up early in the morning and demolish houses, shops cars, goods etc. for any forking useless reason or no reason.. then someone will start from the begining.
Dear Summer, Nwannem, the fact that you can afford to live in both places and manage/ support your children is good. Especially that you are able to Spend time with your mum is priceless. Make the most of it. Bring the children home too to know their relatives. Please don’t over invest in Naija because of the value of the currency dropping all the time. Go back to Ireland as often as possible. Move back if things become uncomfortable. Writing From the Uk.💞💞💞🤩
It's good that you put the record straight beautiful Sister Summer, before people go go Japada with out planning their lives, to japa without plan is already hard imagine to Japada without plans. You are Glowing dear congratulations on your achievements.
I must comend your respect for Nigeria 🇳🇬 now honestly. I used to dislike your reaction those years of the way I may say your disparaging words about Nigeria 🇳🇬. Two things I fight for is one talking down on Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Secondly talking down on the igbos. But Thank you for realizing this and trying to put up positive vibes about us. God bless you 🙏
There's nothing wrong with talking down the ethnic you come from if it is going through transformation. I can only talk of the one I am familiar with, as I am an internationalist. I have moved around, and Yorubas has superb morals, ethics, and corporate culture 👌 👏 period!
@@dadakeshinro6749 when I say talking down about my tribe or country in a disparaging way, I don't say do not talk about the pros or cons but not in a stereotypical place. I was born and raised in Lagos state, did my higher institutions at osun state, my NYSC, in the north. I'm barely an igbo resident and presently out of the country but I have a solid upbringing about my roots and the kids here long going home because of their involvement with the Nigeria culture and igbo culture.
You are going to give me an idea to start a business with shortlets as well. Hhmmm, I had that issue too, we had roaches in our shortlet when we visited 😮, omo, it was something else o. Anyway, it is well.l
Thank you Summer for sharing , and you look fabulous ly beautiful.Planning is essential before moving back,a lot has changed.I will be coming to your shortlet.
Making plans before leaving for, or going to anywhere, is a given. It's a no brainer. Duh! That's like saying Don't japa out of Nigeria without planning. Duh!
"A lot of people are living lives a lot of us abroad can never live" Translation; the corrupted politicians and 419 people are living large, while the common person suffers. Summer we abroad don't care. Because one major emergency, those people living large are most likely dead ! Law and order, medical care, good infrastructure, etc means more than money. Summer go and sit down.
@isabelomenyebolekia3109 They make up 1% of the population at best. What's your point ? Why doesn't summer compare the 1% in America with the 1% in naija ? Because when you compare apples with apples, naija is a joke of a country !

Thank you for your honesty

YOU ARE LOOKING MORE BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHOICE
Thank you ❤️💋
You no dey derail, you just wan market ya shortlet and dresses and the market wey you dey sell 😂😂😂😂😂. All the japada gist na preamble 😂😂😂
Nigeria is good. If you are coming from abroad, have money and block yourself from certain things and you will be ok.
Hi summer, I can see you are loving Nigeria. but how about your work in Europe 🇪🇺 and your children?
Work forfeited and children all grownups.
More questions?
Dear Summer,

Very exhausted.

Pls what's the address of your Shortlet? Is there a website where we can check out the rates? Thanks
Your balanced views of life is commendable and should be a PhD thesis in UNILAG.
What and how did you decide you want to japada. What really prompted you
Home is home. Did you leave your children behind?.
I know the word 'JAPA' means to emigrate to Western countries, but does the 'Da' in japada imply?
Return
@@ayoanifowoshe2014 Thanks

3 min. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF NIGERIANS ARE LUVING LARGE. Do the math pls. Happy for you though
"A lot of people are living lives a lot of us abroad can never live"
Translation; the corrupted politicians and 419 people are living large, while the common person suffers. Summer we abroad don't care. Because one major emergency, those people living large are most likely dead !
Law and order, medical care, good infrastructure, etc means more than money. Summer go and sit down.
There are still hard working Nigerians that are get well paid by companies abroad for content creation.
Why are belligerent??did she tell you go home ,also she didn't invite you to come in page😢
@isabelomenyebolekia3109 They make up 1% of the population at best. What's your point ? Why doesn't summer compare the 1% in America with the 1% in naija ? Because when you compare apples with apples, naija is a joke of a country !
It's a myth that all rich Nigerians are corrupt politicians and 419 what some diasporans use to console themselves.
