Ayoade Oni, who is set to study Computer Science at university, wants to move to Canada
A new survey of more than 4,500 young people in Africa, aged 18-24, has found that 52% of them are likely to consider emigrating in the next few years, citing economic hardship and education opportunities as the top reasons. The BBC spoke to five young people in Nigeria and South Africa who said they do not feel safe in their countries and lack access to work opportunities, but for those in Ghana the picture looks very different. line
"The Nigerian insecurity is so appalling," says 18-year-old Ayoade Oni from Lagos. This is one of the main reasons he wants to leave Nigeria.
Last year he was nearly kidnapped in "broad daylight". He was on his way home from the phone repair shop when a gang approached him, demanding he hand over his belongings.
He resisted and was "walking very fast" to try and get away. He thought he had found refuge when he stumbled on a nearby shop with people inside who tried to lure him in, telling him he was safe with them.
But it was a trap.
Suddenly, a bus driver pulled up and warned him the people were "kidnappers", instructing him to get inside the vehicle. "That saved me that day," he recalls.
Nigeria is currently facing a kidnapping for ransom crisis, with perpetrators collecting millions of dollars over the years, according to a Lagos-based think-tank.
"I can't go out at night, my parents won't even allow me," Mr Oni said. They have set him a curfew to be home by 18.30 each night.

Let them in! We could use the help!
I taught science in an inner-city school for a bit. Some of my best students were from Eritrean families. They were smart, hard working and polite. Similarly, our church has several Nigerian families who are educated and industrious people with solid families. That said, there is a limit to what any nation can absorb in a short time.
As long as they’re not white, right? You’ve shown your racist colors on here before.
You’re full of crapola.
So that we can no longer feel safe with most of them here!
I worked with 4 or 5 Africans (Uganda, Kenya) They didn’t either.
Same with all those who come from India - they always stay when their education is completed.
I can believe it.
The American black has been indoctrinated to believe they are forever victims and owed reparations which they will never get yet never released the gift their ancestors aid for during slavery.
Africans know the real world they escaped and are grateful for the opportunity of America today.
Tell me about it, my upscale neighborhood here in Frisco is dominated by folks from India.
Yes my real name is clayton bigsby...
Immigrants from Ghana to the USA lower the average IQ of both countries.
Apparently the headline for this article was based on the offhand comment of one guy.
Reminds me of Affirmative Action. Companies got around it by Hiring blacks from Africa. Then the are those that come here and become first level supervisors pretty quick. A quick way to get ahead doing something thankless while working harder than everyone else.
They don’t last too long here in my community. Open gas stations or restraunts but don’t generate the business here so they simply skip town and go back home. People know if you accomodate their business they’ll end up multiplying their families here, one boat load after another.
The corporations have a magic word to solve their affirmative action issues.
Ibo.
They are a Nigerian tribe with a very high IQ, much higher than the vast majority of other Africans or American blacks.
Hire someone of Ibo background and you get quality and hard work and keep the affirmative action Karens at bay.
Stop trolling.
Spend that time working on your inferiority complex.
‘90% of my friends want to leave so we can bring Africa’s problems to your country,’ would be a more accurate headline.
Yeah i should spend more time at the black panther club house.
No, you should spend more time trying not to feel so inferior. It makes you act like a jerk.
Try to engage in more thoughtful endeavors and discussions. Your hatred greatly inhibits you as a person.
I’m tired of you for now, so I’m going to allow you to have the last word. I either won’t read it or will shrug it off like I do all leftist hate, but this way you can feel important for a minute.
Hmmm..
Yes you seem to think you know me...well anyway you remind me of the wasps who always hated immigrants...irish,catholic,chinese,japananese,slavs, and of course blacks.
Oh and how could i forget your hate od hispanixs! Lol! Pardom me!
