BIRTH

Most Nigerians are fond of not staying in their country. More or less every Nigerian wasn't born in Nigeria for example I was born abroad (Ireland) and lived there for about three months for the passport and went back to live in Nigeria till I was about four then I moved to Ghana where I lived for an extra four years then I moved back to Nigeria, Where I spent another four years and I then came back to Ireland this time not for the passport but for the really good and affordable education! this is the case with a lot of Nigerians. It is said that about 1 in every 10 Nigerians were born or live abroad!  The UN reckons that there might be about 1.2 million Nigerian-born people currently live abroad! Nigerians abroad are generally very keen on education. those born abroad usually do it to get a useful citizenship in country with actual relevance to the world like Britain, USA, Australia. But if you were unfortunate enough to be born in Nigeria and you were below middle class or even middle class there is a one in six chance that you will most like certainly die. The medical facilities in Nigeria are very sub standard and only few hospitals have modernized facilities. Nigeria is deemed the fourth most dangerous place to give birth by WHO
