@b1ueocean There was a slight note of irony in my comment. Of course, if you have the right skills, there are opportunities, all over the World. However, only certain individuals possess them, and there are many reasons for not doing so. Also, some of those, might be happy to remain in their homeland. Maybe, they're doing well in Nigeria, because they bring skills the local don't have, but need. Such as in the oil industry, amongst other sectors.
Kazakhstan, Dubai, China, Brazil are not in Africa, as far as I know, but the same applies.
You also don't build the biggest Empire in history, if you're a nation that, as you put it, is "fearful and ignorant".

@b1ueocean OK. That's enough numbers. Feel free to analyse them all you want. You're obviously going to be more interested in Nigeria, than any of us. It's not exactly top of the list of countries, we'd consider moving to.
Leaving a country might be good for those doing so, but it doesn't help build the country they leave. Especially when that country is poor, and needs all the help it can get.
One thing that's true is that Nigeria, is a deeply divided country, on both religious and tribal lines. Simon has talked about this in his videos, although not always in a positive way.
I have read articles about Nigeria, so I am familiar with the problem there. You have already had one civil war, where The Beatles gave back their MBE's in protest at UK involvement in it. Biafra might want independence, but the problem is that they have most of the oil, and that's something the rest of Nigeria will do anything, not to lose.
