Nigeria Is A Grave Yard For Talents - 9xix113

After a man celebrated gaining Canadian citizenship, the discussion shifted into heated commentary about Nigeria’s livability. One user wrote, “There is no place like home; however, Nigeria is a graveyard for talents.”

This sentiment comes from a place of painful truth — many talented Nigerians struggle due to poor systems, lack of opportunities, and unstable structures. But calling the country a “graveyard” overshadows the millions still working, creating, and succeeding despite the odds.

Nigeria isn’t lacking talent — it’s lacking the supportive systems that allow talent to flourish. Instead of burying hope with harsh labels, the focus should be on pushing for reforms, investing in youth, and strengthening institutions.

Critique should spark change, not surrender.
