6 Questions Any African Must Ask Before Moving Overseas

• What If My Plan Doesn’t Work Out?

Many Africans are very hopeful: even in the midst of trouble and tragedy, you hear many say “It is well.” Unlike those from the West who often have a Plan B, we always hope our plans work. If they don’t, we’ll continue to struggle or manage until another opportunity comes along. Why then would you have a nervous breakdown in another man’s country, running from pillar to post trying to survive when you can return home honourably? Unfortunately, those who have sold their houses, cars and investments to move overseas will be under much more pressure to make sure things work anyhow. In the event that you have moved to a location with serious security or natural disaster issues, you won’t need a prophet to wave the flag when it’s time to move on.
