An opportunity for knowledge sharing
Knowledge is a continuum and knowledge sharing and transfer is a two-way process that should be continuously ongoing between professionals in LMIC/Third world countries and more advanced smarter economies/countries. Some of the constraints that prevent this include poor communication, language barriers and poor ease of access to the networks of professionals in advanced countries.
While this may look like a disadvantage or loss to the home country, if the country can nurture a strong relationship with her professionals in the diaspora, it can be converted to a big gain in the form of diaspora remittances and donations of time, equipment, money etc. India and China are strong examples we can look at.Opportunities for quality improvement abound in Nigeria.
Considerably, the brain drain is not a total loss to the country and the Nigerian citizens. The highlighted reasons above show gains that can be maximized for the benefit of our communities.

What is journalism without objective criticism? Every sector is fearfully compromised under the African sun.
Lol. Objectivism has been buried. This post seeks to romance what it intended to address. Rated zero!
