A Nigerian man who has been living in Europe for 23 years has shared some valuable advice for his fellow citizens who are considering moving abroad. In a video interview, he emphasized the importance of investing in Nigeria, particularly in farming, rather than seeking opportunities abroad.
According to the man, anyone with around N5 million (approximately $11,000 USD) should consider starting a farm in Nigeria instead of coming to Europe. He claimed that with proper management, this amount can grow to N500 million (approximately $1.1 million USD) within 10 years.
The man highlighted the fertile soil and favorable climate in Nigeria, which make it an ideal place for farming. He suggested that people could explore various types of farming, such as fish farming, pig farming, or crop farming.
While sharing his advice, the man couldn’t help but express his own regrets about moving abroad. He confessed that if he had known what he knows now, he wouldn’t have left Nigeria.
The video has sparked a lively discussion on social media, with many people sharing their thoughts on the matter. Some have praised the man for his insightful advice, while others have raised questions about the practicality of his suggestions.

one vghboss wrote,”But now you have the 5M to come back to Nigeria and start it, so why haven’t you?? Cause there’s no way you will say you’re bigger than the 500M profit. So come back and stop unnecessary motivation to your family members.”
