How helpful is your economy today?

[lovesmayfamilis]

Everything is always learned by comparison. You should try conducting a survey, OP. What is not in your country, and what you would be happy about, is in another country, more prosperous, but they also have their own "but". Ask those people who are well off in your opinion, living in prosperous countries, if everything is as good as they would like? No. People will always miss something. We don't know how to use what we have, give thanks, and look back at those who live worse. Unfortunately, my country faces its own set of challenges, but I probably love it, and seeing how people live in other countries, reading people's posts here, watching other networks, I understand that wherever we are, it will be bad for us if our internal state is negative. If the world doesn't change, then you change.

If my country isn't offering good healthcare, road, stable electricity when it has the resource to put all things in place that means my country is corrupt, lawless, and the leaders doesn't care about the well being of its citizens. So, if I have the opportunity to leave my country and go elsewhere where I can get the life I envision for myself, I will seize the opportunity and travel out of my country without thinking twice.

Exactly,if my said country doesn't want to improve when the resources is there,I will have know option than to relocate to another country that is developed in order for me to get what I desire ,what is the essence of enduring a place that is not willing for her growth,not ready to fix things ,with corrupted leaders, no good security for the people, every country faces one or two challenges but I believe their are favourable once one can still achieve there desire goals ,so what is the need for being in a lawless and corrupted country when there is still other opportunities.

I am saying this through the world I am coming from because every government including the developed countries make sure that their citizens live well and also have work to do while they taxed them and gradually deducts their payment. In that they have good healthcare, road, electricity and many more, if your country are not offering these things how would you feel. Do you think there are something you are missing and you would wish to go abroad just to make sure you have the type of life you want to live today?

My country is ready to provide benefits to only one class of people but the government has failed to provide any benefits to the general public who work in private sector. In our country, the government provides all kinds of benefits to those class of people who work in government jobs only, but the lives of the people who are not in government jobs in our country have become miserable. Doubling the government salary structure and giving them double benefits has made the lives of the middle class and lower class like us miserable. The government of our country cannot provide any benefits to the people rather the people of our country only support the government financially by paying taxes but the government cannot provide any additional benefits to the people.

The African continent is so poor when it comes to economics because nothing is moving forward, most especially Nigeria. The country is blessed with many resources, If not for greedy politicians it should be one of the top economic countries today, but their greediness is second to none. The incumbent president accused the former president of mismanagement, he said the former president allowed top leaders to share oil money meant for the masses among themselves and with he came up with the idea of fuel subsidy removal. He said if he removes it, the funds will get to the grassroots to the poor masses. But since the day he implemented the idea, hardship began, there is inflation everywhere. It is even far better to allow those top leaders to share the money among themselves if at least things would sell at a cheaper price. With this idea nothing has reached the poor masses other than hardship.

Truth be told, everyone loves their country but due to bad governance and leadership we often see people leaving their countries to another just to have a better life over there and possible they are offering good employment with a better paying offers.

The average person in a developing country with a very bad government also thinks about leaving their country and choosing a more developed country to improve their life.. but the problem is that it is not that easy, to be able to leave your country you need to prepare a lot of money and you also need to meet various requirements such as obtaining a visa, etc., it is very complicated and that is what makes many people stay in their country even though the situation is very difficult for them. even though there are illegal ways, but it comes with serious risks and there is no guarantee that they can get to their destination country.. so in the end staying in their own country is a more realistic thing even though it is more difficult for them.

I get your point most especially because Nigerians expected subsidy removal to  improve the country economy and put more resources into infrastructure and social support, but i think saying it would have been better for politicians to keep sharing the money is a problem and it only promotes corruption. The main issue i see here is what happens to the money after subsidy removal, if the savings are not transparently invested in things that reduce the cost of living, create jobs then ordinary Nigerians will naturally feel that they sacrificed for nothing.

There is no point relocating to other countries when you are not getting what you want in your country, you haven't been over there and you don't know how things are over there, many people have travel like this and later regret why they travel, if everybody leave their underdeveloped country to other developed countries who will then developed your own country. I see some greedy and corrupt leaders and also some prominent people leaving their undeveloped country, country they are supposed to develop and then to develop other countries. We should always know that moving out to other countries outside Africa is not always easy unless you have some good money.

The money saved from the subsidy removal is in these leaders shell companies and more will keep going into there. This subsidy of a thing has been embedded into corruption,  that leaders are now using to steal more money. There can never be transparency, if the people in the government are all after money and power.  There was one interview where the president  said he wants Nigeria GDP growth to reach $1Trn, my question how will he be able to achieve that. A country that is fully dependant on importation, low employment rate, high inflation, no industry and he is there saying what can't be achieved. Even the common electricity he promised to deliver during his camping hasn't been done.

Actually, this is not the case. It is normal to think that life will better in a developed country. You don't have to go there and see.

if everybody leave their underdeveloped country to other developed countries who will then developed your own country.

In this regard, I talk about this issue in my country, our country cannot evaluate an engineer who has graduated from a top class university. The main reason for this is corruption. Due to corruption, they do not get their due status. That is why they are forced to leave the country. Because they are evaluated well abroad and can lead a good life. And I will say that until corruption is removed from any country, even good people there will not get their due status. And at the end of the day, everyone will be forced to leave the country if they get the opportunity.

Going abroad is not a thing for some people, but having all the necessary basic requirements of life reachable is what matters to them most. When you see many things you’re finding hard in your country working in other parts of the world, you’ll always wish your country have the same but sometimes from the way your government handles governance, one can tell that such can never happen. Those that have their way leave the country to get a greener pasture elsewhere or even go there to spend some good time and comeback again. As long as there is good governance in a country you live in, you will rather go out for holidays and tourist and then back to your country. You may never find a tangible reason to live your country and live elsewhere fully for the rest of your life.

People travel for many reasons but whatever is their choice and why they did, it's not always like the way people claimed it to be. I respect people that travel for study, gain what you want and come back to your country and impact that knowledge to other people that perhaps never had the chance to make the same move. If everyone have the same mindset if running away to other countries, I'm sure their home back home remain the way they were for long time.

There is no way you will leave your country to travel elsewhere without sacrificing one or two things. If you think your country is not better, it's better in other place but your country might have fun, easy to hangout with other people. I have people people in other countries that have left home because they think it's better elsewhere, it's true but all places have their challenges.

It is indeed a noble aspiration to intend to come back to rebuild homeland through education and the knowledge gained. But a mass migration in which there is no regard to homeland would cause the homeland to remain stagnant for a long time.

Inhabiting another country always entails making a sacrifice of being away from the warmth of close personal connections. The glamour of developed places conceals all the harsh realities of life behind their superior facilities.

We know that the government deducts VAT from the income of each person as tax and while purchasing various things. The purpose of the government of a country is to develop the country and ensure a better life for its citizens, although we can see that in developed countries such citizens are provided with benefits. But in the country where I live, there is no guarantee of a better life, rather there is inequality in every field of roads, electricity and healthcare. There is no guarantee of a better life here. But the government runs the country from the people with that tax but does not pay much attention to the better life of the citizens. If there is no electricity and better healthcare in a country, then that country will not progress at all, but they will continue to collapse economically. If a country is to progress economically, the government has to take good steps in every field, otherwise the citizens will not be able to live a better life.

Going abroad also does not mean that the solution is solved if you do not prepare yourself. Because abroad the competition is even tougher than in their own country. So the question is what can you do and work on now without relying on government programs and without having to go abroad. It may sound ideal and promising to go abroad to improve the economy, but you know there are many workers who abroad actually experience worse fate such as high cost of living, contracts, language limitations, difficulty adapting, and even some are victims of human trafficking because through unofficial channels. You should always consider a lot of things before you are really stubborn without preparation. Even the worst scheme should be considered if the plan does not work as expected.

[Adiljutt156]

The idea of government and power is to always keep the citizens poor and controlled so that they have no choice to revolt but be obedient and bow to whatever the government in power wants. That is, this is from the perspective of the developing countries, I don't know about the more developed countries, but I think the difference is the infrastructure and working systems in place to make living conditions better or not.

I would jump at the opportunity to sort for a greener pasture in a more developed country because the monetary system and income rate is better than in the developing countries with less than sufficient minimum wage or even infrastructure or good systems to carter for the lives of the citizenry.

This is giving government way too much credit for deliberately making everyone obedient and poor. In different developing countries, poverty is because of continuous corruption, weak economic policies, limited investment opportunities, political situations and also because of the lack of opportunities in those countries. Rather than just having a single plan to control citizens.
I agree that developed countries have better infrastructure their economy is strong, their salaries are better, system is stronger. But moving to those countries is not going to solve the problem, that it is not automatically a solution for everyone. In those countries cost of living, housing, taxes, immigration rules and competition for jobs are also much higher. A government who improve infrastructure, education and security they make citizen more independent rather than being controlled.

I have a friend who worked abroad and didn't took him so long and have to go back. The pressure is real, the loneliness is there and he's been home sick. So I think this solution for the others is not applicable to the rest of us. But I know someone who's desperate looking to change their lives will endure all of the pain that they'll feel there. The cost of lifestyle and the salary there at least par with what they need, so for someone who's living modestly can probably survive all of those rising cost for as long as there's the benefits from their companies like free rent, really depends on the contract they sign.

If your country is not doing what other countries are doing of course you will not be happy and you will wish to go outside to enjoy such thing. But don't forget that all fingers are not equal, it takes time and effort for those countries to build to that standard. If your country is the opposite of what you wished, you don't have anything to do, you will only need to work hard and build your own empire and enjoy later because a country of currupt leaders, you will find nothing good to lay your hands on. But rather you will strive toake life comfortable for you and not depending on the government to give you a quality life.

The pain of this kind of situation can become worst especially when you know that your country is resourceful enough to put this things in order when there are proper resources management, all fingers are not equal as you said meaning that all country can never be the same when it comes to standarded of living and that is correct, but when you are in a country that have corrupt leaders that are not doing the right thing even when the country have what it takes, what I will do is to leave the country to another where I can live the kind of life I want no two ways about it.

People will always be unhappy and unsatisfied how government spend budget, size of taxes and what decisions government make. That should not be the reason to think about moving abroad. Actually I dont recall any major events where citizens where proud of their government. I dont understand fully how to find out that I am missing something/not taking in full from government. All in all it is up to person himself if he is missing opportunity or living worse than he expected.

Those who move abroad because they think life is better there have a huge chance to get into situation that live abroad is worse than live in their homeland (and people will try hard to convince themselves that they did it right to move). Because they dont have experience living abroad. They know other country only by info from internet, or they have visited that country as a tourist. Being a tourist is not the same as being citizen of that country.

If I describe the benefits that the government of my country gives to its citizens, then you will tell me why you are living here and why you are not going abroad?
The first need that arises in my country is electricity, but life in my country has become unbearable due to severe load shedding.
The people of this country are living in such hardship that there is no language to express them. The government of my country has not been able to create an environment to ensure the basic needs and benefits of the common people in this country. The government of my country can only collect taxes from the people but cannot provide any benefits to the people. In other words, 80% of the people of this country live below the poverty line, and those who live above the poverty line are the ones who mainly receive government benefits.

Despite the condition of my own country, I still see a lot of advantage in my own place than outside my country, i consider many factors regarding going to abroad, where I live, I found a lot of comfort not because I was born there but I see the life so easy to live, a lot of things that are happening abroad which we are not seeing that challenges here, first and Famous rent is a difficult thing there and despite the huge amount, they are still paying monthly while in my own place we pay annually. We cannot compare cost of living because there is a very huge differences, people there see us as if we are living in a free house compared to money that we are paying. Definitely going abroad cannot solve all the problems because the stress they undergo is not easy, people at home will be demanding a lot because they always believe that life in abroad is very easy.
