Greener pasture
The rate at which young youths are looking for greener pasture makes me ask my self what's this greener pasture? Is it a fun filled life? A worry free life? I wonder what it is I will love to receive your comments in my box.
According to the answer given to me by google a greener pasture is a better or more promising situation. Why then do you think you can't find or live in a greener pasture here in Nigeria. I was talking with a friend recently and he uttered the same words of searching for a greener pasture it took me some minutes to give him an answer because it was funny to me. He kept saying that repeatedly and he was saying it conveniently that if he should enter Malaysia he will become a millionaire then that prompted me to ask him some questions such as:
Did he have any relations in Malaysia?
Is there any job awaiting him there?
Did he have more than enough money in his account right now to process his travelling and sustain him in Malaysia?
All these questions he couldn't answer,then I wonder where the greener pasture is. Many people has the same mentality has his they believe. Once they leave the country to another white man country they will succeed even if they will succeed it's not immediately they get there. Lots of Nigerian youths has gone abroad with the mind of searching for a greener pasture later living in regrets. Nigeria is a greener pasture on its own if you know how to maximize every opportunity we see. Leaving the country is not the solution to the current problems we are facing in this country but because we all think we can't succeed in this country that's why we think leaving the country is all we need.
In search of greener pasture many young ladies has ruined their lives they travelled out by all means and ended up being enslaved without any hope of freedom many of them were killed and introduced to prostitution and all sort of illegal businesses so also our young men they believe Malaysia is where their destiny awaits and when they finally gets there they become killers and sells body parts that is how their glorious destiny is being truncated all because they needed a greener pasture. The harm we cause ourselves is much more than the one the country caused us, am not saying traveling out of the country is bad it is very good to explore other cultures and how they interact but don't go there with the mindset of becoming a millionaire overnight.
In conclusion
I hope we can enlighten our youths more on how to develop themselves in their father land and erase the mentality of going to Malaysia for greener pasture or the accent "we just gat back" because I was told that is the number one identification symbol of a person that just returned from Malaysia. You can be successful anywhere you just have to maximize opportunities and develop yourself more.
I hope you enjoy reading this and I will be expecting your comments in my box. Enjoyy.
