Issues of Brain Drain and Gain

Hi dear reader, it is imperative at this point to have an in depth analysis of the rate of drain and gain in the national grid of knowledge, intellectuals, genius and scenius. Here, I want to bring to the fore, rate of brain drain as it supersedes that of gain. The discourse of the above national topic tends to expose what and what encourage brain drain. Likewise the article will also delineate those factors that encourage brain gain.
Hence below is the enlistment of some of this points which encourage and discourage brain drain in the national equation;
• Absolute Zero Employment: This is a situation whereby there is lack of employment. As well most jobs are kept for high echelon in our society and to who knows who. Some jobs openings are no more based on merit academically or on the job experience. At the end of the day, this forces genius to go in search of greener pastures in foreign lands.
• Lack of Power: Here, when a nation cannot provide its inhabitants with consistent and uninterrupted power supply that nation encourages brain drain and economic drain as well. This is exemplified in Nigeria where her businessmen are moving over Ghana for efficient and effective return on investment. Most economic versus business activities rely on power for its day to day operations.
• Inavailability of Financial Incentives: What I mean here is that it is the duty of both governments and its financial institutions to offer manufacturers, distributors etc loans and other financial support available. When there is a lack in such areas that brings about drain in the national knowledge base.
On the other hand, the only and essential commodity that brings about a brain gain is this; numerous other factors do exist.
• Investment Opportunity and Security: It is of paramount importance for the need of security in a state to protect both employers and investors from danger. In the same vein, investment opportunity is the only safe landing avenue to attract both local and foreign investors to thrive in a nation. This last two point go hand-in-hand and as well complement each other. It is because the inavailability of one can usher in the reduction or lack of the other. What is your own view to the game of brain drain and gain? Your answer can be found in your state national statistics.
