Over 140 of you answered the question: if you had a good job and a comfortable life here, and a chance to start again abroad, would you STAY or GO?

Thank you, everyone. Reading your answers was the best part of our month. You told us about businesses you started with almost nothing, degrees you finished against the odds, and families you're carrying. Some of you are staying to build. Some of you are ready to start again. Nobody took the easy answer.

We judged on what we promised: honesty, originality, and how well you made your case.

Winnie turned the question around. After a frightening night in April, protecting her two young children, she wrote that their safety matters more "than any amount of money, career or comfort."

Winnie, the ₦100,000 prize is yours, meant for your passport but yours to use as you need. Check your notifications for next steps. Check your notifications for next steps. 🎉
