There is no home to go back too , I don’t blame them for hanging around, who’s gonna leave this heaven and go back to the HELL you politicians have made Nigeria ?🇳🇬.

Lekan Adeosun @LekanAdeosun2

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.

HardBill @JoshuaSorshima

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.

EKVU @iamEKVU

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.
