"Na them sabi! If I earn this, I doubt I would want to reocate? I will pay for good health and protection rather than go slave out in another man’s land. Except of couse there is a job waiting for them there."

@istee01 added:

"Honestly this craze to relocate is beyond my comprehension. I use to think relocation is for smuggling persons. But how someone will leave a very comfortable life here and relocate to do menial jobs in US and Europe is beyond me."
