Everyone is praying for a better life and also wants a place where the land is greener but compared to other countries I can say my country is fair in some aspects, though corruption has spoiled so many things that we ought to be enjoying as the citizens of the country, our politicians are greedy and wants everything to be in their favor.
Our economy is fair in this country compared to other countries, things are cheap here in Nigeria even the cost of living is very affordable, some people will travel to other countries and be stranded, running from police every day because they do not have their permit but here in my country nothing like that, we welcome everyone and there are no restrictions. In Nigeria, you can get fruits at lower prices and other things like foodstuffs, toiletries and so many things like that.
The price at which all these fruits are sold in Nigeria is very cheap because they cultivate it here compared to when they export it to other countries.
Have you tasted our cassava flakes, this can not be compared with other countries, and the rate at which this will be sold in other countries will be more expensive than ours
You can walk freely in my country but in other countries you have to hide, there are rules that you must follow and if any of it is violated then you find yourself back in your country without any benefit, what you have suffered to acquire will be gone in a twinkle of an eye.
I will say Nigeria is blessed with many mineral resources which is very satisfying and can be enough to survive the economy of the country but since the foundation is bad what can the righteous do, our leaders are the source of our problem so it makes it look as if the country is very bad but no, the country is one of the best.
Aside from corruption which I know many countries belong to this class as well, our economy is still one of the best, we can never compare the rate at which African foods are sold in other countries to my country or the cost of living in Nigeria to other countries, the bad leadership we have is what is causing the setback for us.
We know of some countries where the amount they are paying for tax is more than what they are earning, pay bills, accommodation every month even the amount left will not be enough to survive for the rest of the month and also there are countries which they segregate the blacks and also bully them, but in my country, we welcome and treat foreign people nicely.
Well, if I have the opportunity to leave my country and look for a better life then I will choose well, not to travel to another country and be stranded, if I have a relative that is ready to accommodate me and if I have the opportunity to work and earn better salary why not, I can leave my country and go for a much better life.
I know some few countries that their economy is boomy and the citizens are enjoying some benefits not to leave my country for some other countries that our economy is 10 times better than, if I have the opportunity to leave my country I will, I need to make use of every opportunity now because I may not have the chance or opportunity of such anymore.
I am proud of my country and I believe in terms of economy and cost of living my country is fair and we are Lovely people and very accommodating as well.
