Adding the current level of job loss on Wall Street, about 100,000, to my previous post about brain circulation, result “Oil Rich Nigeria Enjoys Brain Gain” – IHT. Okay, I may be giving my idea a bit more humph than it deserves, but leaving the United States to work in Nigeria is no longer as novel as it was in the past. Speaking with a Nigerian investment banker who is also a 19 years Wall Street Vet reinforced this. His words, ” I regret not taking action on all the opportunities in Nigeria that have come my way in the past 3 years. Unfortunately you do not wait for a crisis to develop an emergency plan, I made a mistake”.
“In the U.K. everything has its place, there’s an order to things: That’s what I miss most,” says Okugun. “And that’s what I want to create here.” or some Nigerian repats being able to watch, and participate in, the development of their nation is sufficient reward. But for most there’s another message that trumps all: “You can write your name in gold in Nigeria,” says Okogun with a smile.
Just what you would expect a Nigerian to say.
