Why I prefer Living in Nigeria over America as a Diaspora.

Well said Bros… you’ve nailed everything.I have lived in the USA for 25 years. Am now 50 years old. I have worked for a company for 12 yrs. I asked to travel to Africa for a month and they refused. They said I can only have 2 weeks of vacation. I paid my own way to America and now my job is dictating to me. I decided to quit and they offered me a month leave of absence with pay. I have not been home in 14 years. I came to America with my husband and 3 children. The stress of this country sent my husband to an early grave. I was forced to raise 3 children by myself and the youngest is a special need. My eyes don see ween!!! My kids are now in their early twenties and I have managed to build a 4 bedroom bungalow back home and am traveling this year to see it for the first time in person. I intend to retire back home and hearing you say all the good things about home gives me courage. I know everybody’s journey is different but am ready to make this trip a reality. I will find another Job when I return but am definitely traveling. How can another human being stop me from visiting my home. Moving forward, I will be traveling home every year now.

I am 53 years old nigerian and have lived in the USA for twenty one year. The day I am able to move back to Nigeria for good and make USA a tourist place will be the happiest day in my life. I have lived on both sides of the coin, and i can authoritatively tell you..."ALL THAT GLITTER IS NOT GOLD"

Living abroad is like a trap, it is a well structured trap to keep foreigners as slaves and build the society they never belonged. No place like home, hopefully Nigerians and Africans will appreciate what God has given us in that region. I wish our leaders in all aspect of the society can see this video and make our country a better and liveable place for us. God bless Nigeria! God bless us! Bayo, you nailed this one!

I am Nigerian American born in America raised by 2 Nigerians parents. Everything you said about America is true! I just came back to the US from Nigeria about 3 weeks ago and the stress level in the US is real. If only Nigeria can have a better government, Nigeria will be the greatest country in the world. The people there have the best hospitality. They are genuinely kind hearted caring people. It’s my family and the loving people that brings me back to Nigeria each time. My goal is to retire in Nigeria with my wife in the future.

As an African American woman, I also prefer Nigeria. The weather is also my #1 reason. I don’t live there permanently and I’m married to a Nigerian man. I also feel safer, there are no guns in Nigeria unless you’re military or police. There’s tribalism but not racism.

As a white American with close Nigerian friends, you gave me another take on Nigeria. A positive one. I am so happy that you feel so at ease there. Nigerians have a special quality that allows them to enjoy life in difficult circumstances. They enhance my life and I too am drawn to that country.

My son is Half Nigerian and I am German. I have been to Nigeria 3 times, recently showed my son his home country he isn’t even 6 years old and bought him a land over there. I want him to always know his roots and appreciate them. In case he wants to he is free to move over there and live his life in Nigeria whenever he is older.

My brother, you are 💯 correct. I have lived in Canada for 20 years, and for the past 5 years I live in Nigeria more than Canada. I always say to people's if not because of the exchange rate, many people living abroad will be fully back home to Nigeria. I have fully set up myself in Nigeria by having my own house with 24-hour light, having a business that gives me income, build some rented property, and a farm for personal use. I am living my best life whenever I am in Nigeria. GOD BLESS NIGERIA 🇳🇬

Well said!! I willl be 46yr by May 8th, Bin here in Korea for 10yrs and been home twice, one thing i am 100% sure is that my return story will end well that is my plead daily to God n d Universe!!Gotten over 150plots of land already set forbreal estate, now embarking on another palmoil tree plantation for 12acres of land as my retirement investmenrt. If u japa 4rm naija with a mindset to go hustle n return back home, it will come to past n u wil enjoy dekay gratification with ease but if is to travel to fit in into their system then one has enslaved him or herself. I pray everyone abroad return wen due with good stories!!!

Spent 20 years in US - moved back in 2014. Prefer Nigeria for similar reasons.

I live in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and i wouldn't have it any other way. I love living here to much

My son the creator will grant your father eternal peace for raising such an extraordinary young man.❤

After almost 38yrs in America and after accomplishing everything in America and Canada 🇨🇦, I find peace and solace in Naija.

Diasporas connect with this video more than an average Nigerian. As a matter of fact, an average Nigerian will never applaud this video. This video needs preservation which I will gladly do. Thanks bro

Nigeria is a beautiful place to stay and so many don't realize that As a Realtor for over 5 years, there so so many beautiful structures. Its not what they told you it is

I moved back to Nigeria from Houston TX about 10+ years ago. I totally resonate with this video. I love the purpose point that you made... I feel like Nigeria needs us more than the developed nations. Also all the other points you made is what keeps me in Nigeria.

After 33 years in 😮 Europe and US i have enough of the stress and horrific food we have here. Almost everyone in the US is diebetic, but my holistic way of life, yoga, less meat, and eating more vegetables helps me to maintain good health. I decided now that it is time to return to back to my beautiful continent. I have lost three friends to Stressful life styles, there is nowhere to compare to the African continent in quality of life if you have money. Is unfortunately we in Nigeria, and some countries in Africa are conditions to see only negative in our countries. We fall into the illusion of so-called freedom. I am awake now.

The big takeaway is live in Nigeria and get paid in dollars. Of course anyone in this position will thoroughly prefer Nigeria/Africa as a whole.

Bayo, one thing that attracted me to your channel is your simplicity and authenticity! You don't know how much you impact the diaspora with living your life. Your dad will be smiling knowing his legacy lives on through you❤

You are exactly correct. I'm a African American but i left America for Africa. I'm not going back. I'm retiring here and will live my life here. I love Africa. Here in Gambia it has its up and downs. But i have no REnt or mortgage or taxes. LOVE IT 🎉❤
