Between Nigerians' search for greener pastures and self delusion

Beautiful streets ,clean neighborhood,steady power supply,mortgage facility,bright lights, high standard way of living,these and more seem to be the reason for the rush to foreign lands. The economic situation of Nigeria coupled with the insecurity equally encourage the mass exodus of Nigerians to foreign lands in search of greener pastures 

 The question is "are the pastures actually greener in foreign lands?". With the condition under which Nigerians live ,it is obvious that the grass may not be actually green at all. A lot of Nigerians who migrated abroad in search of these "better life" actually end up living in misery and abject poverty. Most of them do all sorts of degrading and indecent jobs which they will never think of doing back home such as washing plates in restaurants,security at the club,washing toilets etc. The sad part of it is that most of them are graduates with good qualifications that can get them good jobs they deserve in Nigeria.

Are you a graduate with the dreams of  a "better life" abroad? You have chances of getting a great Job here in Nigeria so do not be carried away by the over sensationalized media branding of the western world.
Nigeria is a growing economy with many opportunities which attracts direct foreign investments,contribute your quota to it and remember the Grass is not always greener at the other side.
