For some of them, coming home is not an option except if they’re deported. They won’t consider coming because they don’t have anything to show for their years of living abroad.

Lot of them really want to but the lack of safe esteemed, the shame back home and also some can’t afford flights tickets now, so the issue of humble coming back is out at least for now.
Returning home is a personal decision, but let’s not act like the system back home makes it easy for everyone. People migrate for survival, not for fun. Instead of mocking them, let’s focus on making Nigeria a place they’d want to return to.

Nigeria leaders has no good plans for their citizens. Where is the social welfare for the citizenry. A country were leaders use their citizens to make money.
