As bad as you think things are in Nigeria, you are only likely to be more prosperous when you relocate. But not necessarily happier. Life is poorer in Nigeria but happier. Life in Nigeria is not boring. It is challenging and active.

Life abroad can be very boring and lonely, even though it might be more affluent. You get a good house, home, and possessions. But to sustain them, you have got to keep on working.

Nobody has time for you, and you do not have time for anybody. You do not even have time for yourself. People don't visit each other. If you have a day off( or a holiday, you see a movie at a cinema, go to a theme park, or go hiking. Interpersonal relationships are rare.

You can die in your house in Europe and America, and nobody will know for months. Maybe even years. Especially if you have enough money in your account and your bills are on automatic pay. Your body will only be discovered the day money finishes in your account, and the companies providing you utilities, like electricity and water, come to your house to either demand their money or disconnect you. It has happened before. It is happening right now. And it will happen tomorrow.

Such a thing cannot happen in Nigeria. If your amebo neighbour does not see you in the morning, wahala go shele. She will alert Linda Ikeji and all your village people.

Depression is rampant in Europe and America. Why? Because God did not create man to be wealthy. God created man to be social. To interact with others and get fulfilled by that interaction. If wealth comes, good. But as long as you have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a roof over your head, you will be happier with human interaction without wealth than without human interaction but with wealth.

If Nigeria were like the UK, for example, most Yoruba people would not like Nigeria anymore. What is life without owambe, gbedu and faaji?

Thank God for the positivity being spread by Nigeria's information Minister, Idris Mohammed. For the first time since 1999, is focusing on projecting Nigeria to Nigerians and the world, instead of projecting only the government. Now, Nigeria has a spokesman. Before, only the government had a spokesperson.
