Why do Nigerians think that abroad is heaven?

Being born and raised in the US, then traveling to Nigeria, gives me a greater perspective on how delusional Nigerians are. When I go back home for vacation and business, my family thinks America is heaven.

They’re like “everything in America is clean and works.” In my mind, I’m like, not the same “US where the subway is dirty, and piss be on the trains.” LOL In Africa, we have a lot of delusional people, but Nigeria leads the way.

In America, politicians are just as corrupt, people still struggle, poverty is just as visible, and people still complain about a lack of governance. Whether it’s in Oakland, Nevada, or New York, your problems in Nigeria is not different than the problems in America.

Next, people will say, “But the government helps the poor”. Do they, though? Go ask Americans about healthcare costs, living costs (i.e light, food), etc., and the social safety programs they do get are not enough to live on. And it only keeps people in poverty. Nigerians will remain delusional. No place on earth is perfect and is like heaven.
