    Talent not appreciated at the place of origin, gain recognition overseas. In local language, they say that "If you light a coconut oil lamp and place it inside a pot it will shed light all around."

    Capable ones have no future here, there talent will benefit overseas based businesses Sunday, 28 April 2024 07:12 PM

    The country is too small sized in mind, and culture to support advancement for most of the successful student ambitions. Going overseas is best for their intellects.
