When most Africans living in the diaspora feel like they have had enough abroad and want to return home to start out with something for retirement, their country of origin comes first.

Not so for Abraham Makinde, an ICT expert. A Nigerian-Jamaican with UK citizenship, Makinde had many options but a visit to Rwanda in 2020 to check out the different opportunities for investment helped him to make a quick decision that it was Rwanda or nowhere.

In an interview with The New Times, Makinde consistently keeps talking about ‘we Rwandans’ and admittedly, he says that is how he feels- more Rwandan than anything else because Rwanda is home.

Although he is not Rwandan, the 35-year-old feels more at home in Rwanda and identifies as one, having made a decision to permanently move to the country.
