you right..a lot of people have that opinion that leaving our countries will avail us more opportunities and it is also evident in the lives of others that we have met in life. Even from interacting with my cousin that had lived in the uk for many years. I could see her level of exposure to various things in life.
However, one thing that is not mentioned is the amount of hard work that is needed for the individual to put in.
I am not gainst the idea of travelling abroad for a better life because as itis stated in islam..."seek knowledge" and a lot of countries have many ground breaking discoveries in various feilds to offer the world, so i do not see it as a bad idea to travel for some of these reasons. But we must not let the fruits fall far far from the tree
Seeking knowledge with Sense....i agree with you
