Are you better off in Africa?

Hi Guys, sorry I have not been blogging for some time. Like I mentioned earlier I am in Texas for a short visit and I left my laptop so I have to do with blogging with my phone which is not the easiest task.

I came across this discussion a few days ago and I wanted to hear your thoughts on it.
The discussion was about how a lot of Africans leave Europe and America to go back to their home countries due to various reasons. Some people cited less stress and a lower cost of living as the main reason of moving back to Africa. One comment that caught my eye in particular was from a white English man who said living in Africa was the best thing that happened to him. He mentioned that in Africa he even has a maid that cleans up after him and also he has more purchasing power eventhough he earns the same as he would have in the UK.
So big readers what do you think? How long have you been away and what was the main reason you left your home country? For those who want to leave, why do you want to? Also for those staying abroad do you think the working conditions in Africa is better? Under what circumstances would you consider moving back home?

  1. I left for greener pastures.
    No! The working condition back home is not better.
    Moving back?? Not on my agenda, visit? yes.
    The Englishman is having the best time of his life in Africa because the color of his skin makes him enjoy privileges and we all know the purchasing power of dollar and pound over Africa currency.
