Why would some people sleep on the floor in Lagos when they can have a good room in their own state? Why stay in Lagos when your annual rent can build you a flat outside Lagos? If you have no functional business in Lagos don't stay there, move out and go start a life somewhere else. For example, Duncan Mighty is not Lagos-based but he is very well known. I Go Die (the comedian) is not Lagos-based and he is very popular and his house in Benin is a masterpiece. Don't die hustling in Lagos when you can make it in other states. God bless Nigeria.
If only 80% of Nigerians can have the same attitude of saying NO even though it looks profitable Nigeria would have been a better place. Set out your policy and stick to it. Well done Achebe.
The only way we can have a better Nigeria is when we see ourselves as one people. Forget the tribal differences and let us see this as a Nigerian problem. Tribal war is becoming too rampant on this forum this days and this has hindered our comments on issues like this.
God gave Eve to Adam not because Adam was lonely but because he needs a "help meet" (one who helps). If God said it I need a helper who am I to say no? "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." -Genesis 2:18
Congratulations but please also learn to invest along side. God bless you richly and help you do for your siblings that which your parents would have done.
