    why Nigerians abroad do not come back home

    Please help me out here. I seem to be the only Nigerian who is thinking of returning back home after my masters. I mean there are alot of Nigerians abroad who live as illegal immigrants and they feel they are better off than those in the country? Do you agree with this? Whats really keeping them here?

    You should maybe contact Shola Adeneken - he was a student with a Nigerian background on the couse a couple of years ago. He was at BBC news online for a while and has worked for the Guardian. He's now set up a really excellent online magazine called The New Black which is sort of aimed at blasck British people. He is a really nice guy and very capable. You should exchange e-mails or something, or maybe invite him to your social group or something.

    You would answer that better than anyone else...
    I would like to be there when you talk about this particular subject...
    Intriguing subject
    but I guess its not just with Nigerians but several other nationalities.
    Reasons might range from
    The state of life, the level of freedom, the possibility of success, the money...
