I read through every line and at the back of my mind, I'm processing my country Nigeria, how bad it has been.
Politicians and the Elites fleeing to the US for a better life and yet the same US have their own problems to deal with.
We are actually wishing to become US citizens to save ourselves from our country, to find greener pastures. But yet, America is going through there own share of same thing we're gunning to leave our country for.
There's no paradise on Earth. We must each learn to make out lemonades in the lemons that comes in form of tragedy, terrorism and even bad governance.
I hope democracy don't get snuffed out in the coming years. The attitude of our leaders here in my country scares me. I only know to pray for now, that, I will do.
Your words are very true, There's no paradise on Earth.
I've been researching countries and experiencing them personally through travel for years. What I've learned is it's impossible to know what a place is like until you spend time on its soil, converse with its people, breathe its air, and feel its vibe.
There is no perfect place but there are many countries that offer a higher overall quality of life than America. Those countries have their share of issues as well but they have a robust social safety net, and some measure of equality, freedom, and security. These places are easy to find through a simple Google search. The Netherlands tops the list for me, most all of the boxes are checked there. For me it's all a matter of finding a place to call home that is as closely aligned to your personal values as possible.
I wish the best for your country. I know the Nigerians themselves are tremendous people. That's what I find all across the world, the majority of folks in every place I've visited are all mostly good, giving, interesting people. Universally, all the average person anywhere really wants is to be happy, raise a family, and have the freedom to pursue their dreams.
Rightly said.
