In regards to the way we treat our selves, especially when we come from diaspora. I still cannot comprehend how we ill treat our own. Just because you are coming from UK, Europe etc, do not give you the right or power to enslave your own people. Thank you Mr Awodiya for this channel, I have really learnt so much from your videos. I and my 18 year old son just finished watching the video about the woman who slapped a 15 year old girl and we couldn't stop laughing. 😂 Olodumare ama wa pelu gbogbo ile yin.
Sir, no joke and i mean this respectfullyl. You look a lot like an American civil rights from the late 1800 s. He was Frederick Douglass he was a former slave who bought his own freedom. He was a masterful writer, publisher, speaker and politician. He sat at the table with the highest ranking members of society including the legendary President, Abraham Lincoln. Pull up some old photos online and see for yourself. I am curious to know do you agree? Enjoy your videos from the US.
I am from the Caribbean naturalize US citizen. I always wanted to travel to Nigeria but I am so afraid from what I've seen on social media.
Phrankleen what up? Big ups, you are truly for real, the things you are saying are factual. Keep up the good work.
So true about diasporans going home and hiring young children to look after their own children it's absolutely disgusting and this are people that have lived in the West and be complaining about racism. When people have money and power is when you see their true colours.
I don't agree that returning Diasporans treat their domestic helps with indignity. We've been humbled down by the West and we know better. If you mistreat your domestic helps they will set you and your children up for kidnapping and murder.
Don't even mess with them.
I completely agree with safety points. Also don't build your house in a slum or very poor neighborhood. Don't live in the city you're known.
Great topic 👏
I have been living in the US for 23 years.
I want to move back to Nigeria in 2 years.
I want to live in Abuja. I don't care about Lagos.
For now I prefer to commute between Nigeria and my base in Europe, getting the best of both worlds.
Lagos is overrated 👎🏽
Treat people with dignity and respect everyone.

Franklin you are a gift to your generation. I was in Nigeria in June and so many Taxi drivers were laughing at us and pitying us saying that some of us are living in such fear. To be fair, most of what you are saying, some of us are already in the know but there are quite a significant number who are still living in bondage and l feel that it's not easy for them to let go of their fear. When l'm in Nigeria, l use Keke to go about my business, I ride my Okada in the village to go to the market. When we are in the UK, we ride the bus, train or your car to do your shopping and then why would you behave differently in Nigeria just because you brought more Naira. Plan well, have a house in good areas, don't go and build a mansion in a slum and be the big fish in a small ocean. Go to the big ocean and swim with sharks of your kind
I don’t leave in fear but I don’t hang out with so called friends. I am always solo when hanging out. I’m very sociable when I’m out there but my home stays my sanctuary. Always be on your guard for your own security.
Phrankleeeeen!
Na wa o for this brain of yours. You hit the nail on the head with how we Nigerians "enslave the less fortunate", brothers n sisters. I heard a similar story of the "help" sleeping in the verandar.
I was chastised once, b/cos I paid my nephew to be my driver for a day.
This is the problem!! some of us are worse than our leaders.
Haba !
In Chicago, USA 🇺🇸 there’s Gun violence almost every day and it considered one of the unsafe places to live in America. However there are still a lot of people living there, what one needs to realize is that certain Neighborhoods are unsafe , not the Whole of Chicago, it’s best to stay away from those Neighborhoods. Same can be said in Literally Every Country in the World🌎
Hi Phrankleen based in the Uk miss Naija a lot but it’s scary seeing so much stuff on soc media think I will shuttle for now
"Ghana is a hoter destination than Nigeria" smh. Ghanaians and our insecurities. Always have to rain on someone's parade. 😒 I agree with you Phrankleen. It looks good on the surface. The agenda has been hijacked.. it's evident in the inflationary prices over here…land prices are ridiculous! Ghanaians are suffering and smiling. Ghanaians need some self confidence.
Phrankleen thank you so much for sharing the ROAD MAP on how to develop courage to relocate. An important thing you said at the beginning was “don’t be easily Frustrated”. For those of us in Obodo Oyibo work smart save & invest in properties. Rent it out in Obodo Oyibo and retire in 9ja. My people it can be done. For those that want to retire in “The Abroad” be prepare to work until you are 70 years old. Many of us appreciate your work!!!
I'm thinking about it I'm started to feel a tug! I have great experiences with my brother s and sisters from Nigeria from Doctors, making my home beautiful, and friends. It's definitely on the list to visit.
Thanks for sharing!
In my experience, Nigerian females don’t have much to do with African American females without an underlying motive. Don’t know why. I would be very very careful with that.
I wanted to rent out my BQ to a nice responsible person. 96% of the female applicants , after checking google and their social media, they were selling their body putting themselves out there like that. This is in Lagos.
Great live session Phrankleen, more powers to your elbow
man said "i dont do jesus and all that nonsense" lmfaooooo
I’m not even Nigerian , I’m Afro Brazilian and everything you’ve been saying since the 3 months observation video is very true to any black diasporian in the planet. I’ve spent 13 yrs playing god to my family till my mother pass, even still to this day some family members try ring my phone for money. And it’s Brasil , not Nigeria . It’s a global issue
Think i've asked you this before, but in your opinion do diasporans hold the key to the successful rebuild of Africa (Nigeria specifically) If so how can we get more diasporans involved? I think you'd make a good representative for the tourism side of Nigeria considering your platform and your interpersonal skills.
Dropping the accent is hard ooo!!!. When I speak Yoruba I am always accused of speaking it funny. But I do try my best 😂😂😂😂 Even my broken / pidgin English is epic🤣😂
Just answering the question in the caption: HELL NO! ✌🏽
Really enjoyed this, as someone with experience of the move back home (Naij). You made an extremely valid point about not everyone is entrepreneurial, I would like to add if you are not inclined this way, nothing stops you from having more than one source of income & being wise with your finances (savings and investments). Also remote jobs are in vogue right now which would allow you to leverage foreign currencies in Nigeria, as they go far if you know what you are doing.
All the best with your returns back home!
I have lived in US for 20 years. I feel so much safe and happy in Nigeria (by the way, I go 3x per year). The reality is that most bad things happening in Nigeria is heard and amplified outside the shores. When in Nigeria, you hardly hear all the bad news. You just move around for your normal business and everywhere seems calm. I came back in September and cannot wait to be back there in late December. A dollar will stretch so much that you get much achieved. Without the stress of mortgage, $100k-$150K can get one a decent house in a good area in the city. I don't even bother convincing anyone. Whoever feels better abroad should continue staying there. But Nigeria has so much untapped resources that one can get into with as little as $20k. It only needs careful planning and no unnecessary flexing. Relations? I fly in and out of Nigeria without any relation knowing that I am around or my location. It depends on how one plans his or her life.
"Ofe lejo, o maa soro o maa dake ni"!!! Whaoh, this statement is new to me! Ede Yoruba dun leti o.
As bad things are in Nigeria, it's still home and I am already building assets back there. The western world is getting more hostile and right wing ideology gaining more hold. Many of our people will be shocked when things turn fast someday. Africa and Naija is the future. All these comfort here abroad makes many of disporas become complacent. We move we build.
There is more business opportunities in Lagos than any other state
Phrankleen lol…humour with truth 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely, Nigeria is not for the faint hearted no matter how many Nollywood videos you watch but, the richest Nigerians still live in Nigeria absolutely despite its disadvantages and disappointment. It is home.
Most people in Diaspora are used to the social infrastructure in the west especially, regular electricity, water, good and quality health care and functional govt which I must confess is lacking compared to the 60s and 70s and what about Education?
One thing you don't have control is hyperinflation which erodes your buying power. But, in reality you have to be prepared because Home is still Home period.
Yikes! Missed this live session.
I was born and raised in 🇺🇸 ,I moved to Nigeria 🇳🇬, the best decision I have ever made.
I will never move back to the states….EVER
I love ur channel bcus it make sense, but your comments about Christ Our Saviour is very displeasing
Thank you for making this video, Pharkleen. We need more positive, informative videos about Nigeria.
Thumbs up Mr. Franklin, healthy heart.
Great topic! For most diasporans that don't come from affluency, proper planning is the most significant factor. Capital & plan A, B & C are imperative to have. Having enough to pay all bills comfortably for a year as you navigate your goals. IMO, starting a small business is the most attractive option. Africa is the least developed continent, thus the fastest growing. If you find a small problem that you can solve, you can earn a good living. Investing in Technology & healthcare is extremely smart. Plan wisely fam, and most significantly, live below your means. Too many move & return in less than 3 years due to lavish spending. Being a minimalist is key.
