I feel sorry for your country to hear that! That really sucks, I feel sad for you to face this. I didn't know things got bad. I've met many Nigerians and had the impression your country was on the up, and that your cities, particularly Lagos, were cool places to be. I'd really wanted to visit. Sounds like things must be desperate for you if you're reaching out here to an internet forum instead of to the people you live with in Nigeria. I'm sure there's lots of people from Nigeria on this forum, but in general I don't know what folks here would know that could help...Looks like you want to vent, and to remind others how lucky they are. Thanks, I guess. Poor you, tho. There might be many people here who have been through similar experiences in other countries. I know you said you never wanted to get out before, but did you ever think about it? If so, where would you go? Also...What makes you ask here in this forum? Sound like you're quite upset, so, I guess one thing you could do, to make it easier on you, is you could work on the "mental game". Try to make staying work for you. Make it your strength. Be happy in it. I guess you could be successful and happy whether you stayed or whether you left, I suppose it just depends on you deciding if this is something you even need to decide right now, and if it is, what path you choose. Anyway, I'm not you, and you'd have to do what you feel is best for you of course, plus I'm not giving you advice (I don't want that karma responsibility!) but I am trying to be helpful so I'll just tell you what I see--from my perspective, sounds like you need to take care of yourself and find a way out. Maybe someone here can give you a helping hand? I don't know anyone in particular but there might be someone here who can. Maybe go to China? Many Nigerians in Guangdong I think, with many doing pretty well by the looks of it. Also a random thought: What opportunities are there within the African continent to temporarily go to another country for work or study? Is something like that feasible--or you still absolutely need a passport? Anyway, I wish you well and hope it work out for you! Take care! And maybe find someone to take care of! That could make things happier and better! :) Poor you.
