I was 16 in 1999 when Democracy returned. I was 32 in 2015 when Buhari came into power. I wasn’t going to wait until 48 to know if the country was going to change. Left because the status quo remained the same.
People who left Nigeria, what was the thing that made you finally decide to leave?

In grad school in Texas, all the Chinese students in the lab had lunch at the same time frame and took a nap for 30-45mins. Huawei office in Santa Clara had times in the afternoon where all staff took naps bro. This is ingrained in the Chinese DNA.

I knew it would be worse and hence why I left in 2015. Trust me, I was blasted for leaving. I was 6months old when he took power in Dec. 1983 and 32yr old when he returned. He was still the same person. I wasn't ready to leave my future in Buhari's hands and I took control of it.

You are seeing in real time what America can do to people. Young folks need true mentors who can steady them. The true winners in America are the "slow-burners". Don't overstretch and burn out. America is for the long haulers. She's going through a big big burnout.
