For now.
Once they get settled in and start raising the numbers of crops that allow them to turn a real profit, greedy neighbors/government officials will pull a mugabe on them again.

Not guaranteed. There’s a strong Christian (and Anglican) ethos in Nigeria that didn’t take root in Zimbabwe.

What is sad are the simple things we’re told these white farmers introduced. Nigerians are just learning that now??? Oh wait, they had decades of UN “help.” Now I understand. Nevermind.

Nice, selling the motor bikes is a nice touch as instead of somewhat worthless currency in exchange for work, they have a means of transportation and a reason to work.

Exactly. Once the white transplants raise crops of golden geese, the locals will slaughter them.

Why are we still a member of that moronic anti-American organization? I guess that we like to be the UN’s punching bag.

The same thing is happening in Mozambique and Zambia,
In fact, Nigeria has gotten the idea from those countries.
The common thread is that the Zimbabwe commercial farmers were the most successful agrarians in the whole of southern Africa. Until the "land reform" insanity started in 2000, Zimbabwe was the breadbasket of southern Africa.

Being a Christian doesn't necessarily make one immune to temptation and propaganda. Human weakness is endemic to all peoples.
If the government starts agitating against “white interlopers stealing YOUR land and taking YOUR heritage”, I have little doubt many would be swayed to go tribal and start in with the zimbabwe style “land reforms” up to and including raping and killing the farmers and their families.
zimbabwe isn't an anomaly, it's the template for afro-socialism. Even South Africa, if the stories I have heard are correct, is heading down the road of the mugabeast.

Jealousy and greed are the two most destructive forces in the world.
Couple those with willful ignorance and you have a poor man's doomsday weapon that nothing can survive its deployment.

Three years ago, Mr. Mogadi got by as a subsistence farmer. But he now earns a regular wage as a supervisor on one of this town's new commercial farms.
Oh, see, now, Mr. Mogadi's being exploited by the capitalist Euro-pigs and doesn't realize it yet. /sarc Thanks geo. Good news for Nigeria, and good news for these Zimbabwean expatriates.

Take him from a subsistence farm life, and addict him to cell phones, fertilizer, gasoline, rubber, and regular oil changes.
Next, bring in electricity, and hook him on TV, computers, and light bulbs.
And wait until he trades his oxen in on a tractor; that'll be the real end of him and all his traditional cultural values!
Those exploiting white capitalist Euro pigs'll make a killing off this guy!

Alas, I don’t think I can ever visit Nigeria. According to the e-mails you mentioned, too many of my relatives have been killed there!
