Nice article with very useful information. I live overseas and really like the idea of diaspora bonds for citizens living abroad as long as there is government oversight to prevent frauds. Suggestions about providing employments for skilled workers to prevent them from going abroad is timely. Nigeria lose lots of educated and skill workers to neighboring nations and western countries with better employment opportunities. South Africa, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Ghana gain from lack of employment opportunities in Nigeria for our educated and skilled workers.
