Several youths in my Country are always in search of a greener pasture so they try their best to move to the location that will offer them what they are in search off. As the new regime came onboard many people including me was not happy with the way the whole thing turned out to be, many just lost a total hope on the system because there is no democracy at all. The popular word JAPA took over as the youths look for every means to get out of a failed system.
Shortly the government raised an alarm that the country is suffering from brain drain, medical doctors just look for every way possible to go out of the country to the place their skills will be better appreciated because everything in my country flows from the eyes of politics including the health of people.
There are some countries that what one just need to get there is just a national ID card some countries like the West African States while others one needs an international passport to arrive them. The West African States are easily accessed while others one need some higher scrutiny to gain access to the passport. In all my years of travels, I have not had the opportunity to travel out from my country but I do have my national identity Card available in case off any urgent call.
Presently, I don't possess an international Passport because I have not really seen that urgent need to do so, but if there is an avenue for me, why not. Lately I began to wish if I can travel out for my Masters and PHD studies because the system there is so fast. Most schools in my country just derive joy in keeping students unnecessarily because the more years one spend in the school the more school fees increases.

Some persons try to travel by huck or cruck, that leads them to going through illegal means to make sure they get out of the country. Some of them die in the process while others get imprisoned because it is a crime to access any county through illegal means. In as much as I want to travel out, I will make sure to do that using the correct channel because that is more honourable. One strong believe I do have is, that there is time for everything, when it is time for me to leave my country I will do that...at the moment I don't have that hunger to leave permanently, I just want to go for my studies and return back.
Culture is viewed as the way people do things, we all are born to meet our different cultures. The way people do things usually have a twist when people from different cultures come to mingle with them. There are cultures that gets strengthen as others come to associate with them while others gets to be weak on the process of association. There is no one culture that is absolute, we borrowed one thing or the other of others which helps us to improve our own culture. Different cultures and traditions are going into extinction as a result of technological advancement, some things have been considered as babaric and some are seen to be against our faith. One thing that should not be lost in any culture is their language. Language gives a people this unique way of communication with their members, so if that is lost there is nothing more to boast with. Marriage offered me the privilege of have more language, as my children grows, I try my possible best to make sure they learn the language so they will not appear strange in front of their tribal fellows.
