-E Get Why
Relocating to foreign countries is becoming a trend these days. Almost everyone has one reason or the other they should leave the country for greener pastures. From the loss of hope in the Nigerian state, a loss of faith in leadership, unfavourable economic conditions, institutionalised corruption and a rooted belief that Nigeria cannot get herself out of the abyss she drove herself into, most people see leaving the country for abroad as the only solution to all the difficulties experienced in the nation. Of course, there are justifiable reasons an individual can decide to go to abroad. Some include for studies, medical treatment, good job offer, and so on.
With the numerous justifiable reasons an individual can decide to leave the country, it is quite saddening that when you speak with some individuals, you discover that they are leaving for the wrong reasons.
Here are some wrong reasons you should for going to abroad that can bring regret.
TO ESCAPE NAIJA WAHALA
There are life challenges wherever you may be in the world. So, assuming that when you leave the shores of the country your problems have been automatically solved is a big lie. Even citizens of the country you are going to face challenges, how much more you being a foreigner in the country.
JUST BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS
Really? If this is your reason for packing up, leaving behind all you have achieved and little you have accomplished, then by all means have a water tight plan or sit your behind back down and think again .
SECURITY
Another reason some individuals decide to leave their country is because of security. This is not a bad idea but it is expedient to know that every country has its security challenges.
ACCESSIBILITY TO CREDIT
This is totally false as your access to a credit system will only end you up in debts if you misuse the credit system and you might end up using the rest of your life abroad to repay debts.
LOVE
Many people meet someone new and consider relocation shortly after they begin the relationship. While this is a personal decision, if it is the only reason for moving overseas is love, then, it’s a bad idea.
TO REDUCE PAYMENT OF BILLS
When you get to speak with some individuals on the reason they intend on leaving the country, you will discover that it’s in a bid to avoid bills and certain responsibilities. What these individuals don’t know is that they will have to pay for more utility bills overseas like
Electricity ,Gas ,Water, transportation,Wi-Fi ,Healthcare , Cellphone
WEALTH
Another lie people believe is that leaving their country is a passport to becoming wealthy. Of a truth, people living in the diaspora live a more comfortable life as a result of the working system over there. Regardless of this, you still have to work and be diligent over there before you can get financially stable.
Thus, if the only reason for deciding to leave your country is because you want to be financially stable or independent, then you should have a rethink as money doesn’t grow on trees in any part of the world.
ADVENTURE
One of the most unreasonable reasons you will ever want to leave your country is for adventure purpose. Going on an adventure in a new country is not bad in itself, but making it your sole reason for going to the diaspora is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
East or West, home they say is the best. You don’t have to go abroad before you can become the best in life and if you choose to, you should endeavour to go for the right reasons.
