Lets go down the lane,

I didn't know that African students try to get education from other countries to escape their own country. At least they have the money to do it. But in my country no matter how much we try to escape, we can't do that easily because we don't have the money, unless we escape to work and not study.

Doesn't matter if you're coming from Africa or anywhere else. If an opportunity is presented to you and it necessitates you leaving a place to learn something and/or learn how to do something to make life better for yourself and for others you may have left behind … embrace it! The alternative is … spend the rest of life talking about all the good things you could have done IF only you had walked that "door of opportunity". By the way, I attended an American university that had many international students and many came from Africa. Not only did they receive an education but establishing friendships with them educated me. I honestly don't know if they returned home or not, because I didn't keep in touch once I graduated. But truthfully, if they didn't, there's nothing wrong with that. You have no control over where you were born. But who told you that you have to live where you were born? My husband and father are both from another country but they made their home in the USA. I know so many others who are from other countries and have resettled in America. How I see it, God made the earth for everybody to live anywhere they want to! God didn't draw border lines. Man did that!

Its very common in india still. Although india is becoming better and progressing fast still it lags behind in many areas as compare to western countries. Another population destination to immigrate is Australia now a days apart from western countries. What attract student there is freedom,better pay,quality infrastructure and services offer in that country.
