Hum! Well my uncle was 48 when he japa he his 60 years of age now. What he as accomplished in terms of wealth and investment is too great men. My friend grandmother his 63 years when she went to the state for omugo. Today she has bought a house and a car back home after 7 years. She his still doing her house nanny. My brother God time is the best. quote author=gforce5 post=126824860]I noticed a thread on[b]"10 sets of People Who Shouldn't Travel To The UK".[/b] I found it interesting and decided to create my own version. I am an immigration lawyer who just came back from an IBA (International Bar Association) Conference. As a member of the immigration committee, we discuss immigration issues. Immigration is as old as time and inevitable. I don't have issues with Nigerians emigrating for "greener pastures" after all, I did the same thing as a teenager thanks to my folks and encourage many others to do so. What I do have a problem with are the categories of people emigrating abroad to start all over. The list is as follows: 1. Big earners/those who are at the top of their career: It doesn't make sense for someone who earns millions a month to abandon that in the name of JAPA. The chances that you will earn the equivalent to what you are earning in Nigeria is slim. You have to start all over again as no country is going to hire you over their own nationals. 2. People approaching 50 and above. I was insulted some time ago whenI stated that if you must Japa abroad, you should do it when you are young. While there are quite a few over 40s who have been able to re-establish themselves, there many more who have struggled to get back on their feet. The job market is a young person's market. 3. Politicians. These category of people make too much money to desire to move to another country. The system in Nigeria was designed to cater to their very whelms. 4. Small scale/large scale business men. If you have a thriving business, it doesn't make sense abandoning your business just to start over in another country. Don't get me wrong, there are many countries are looking for business men to invest in their economy. In the UK, they fall under the category of investor visas. If you are a Senior Lawyer, Bank Manager, Senior Surgeon, Senior Chartered Accountant, you are most likely at the peak of your profession in Nigeria and very likely earning a decent amount of money that places you in the elite. It makes no sense for these category of people to emigrate and start all over again. There you have it. Everybody else has the right to leave the country as it's not working but it doesn't make sense for the above-mentioned class of people to JAPA abroad (at least, outside Africa) as they have a lot to lose.

ednut1: Your point reinforces his because if those people had resigned as junior to middle accountants in Nigeria they would have had next to zero chance of getting similar jobs in the UK on their own. It is staying in Nigeria that makes such growth possible. Also a senior staff of those companies at the partner level even in Nigeria will be a multi millionaire in naira. 3 Likes |

peterpiiro: You people keep talking about this thing as if everything about Japa is money. Nooo, how about safety/security of you and your family? Quality education for the children and other more important privileges you dont have around here? Money is important but if someone in any of those high career level can save something reasonable to migrate on Investors Visa for instance even if he/she is above 50 i dont think there is anything wrong with it. |

gforce5: There different types of ''Japa''. Anybody can still 'japa' if you are going through the job/employment route. What is dangerous is to just resign and relocate without any sure plan or guarantee for employment overseas |

To be honest japa is for those at the bottom of the pyramid but it is unfortunate that the cost involved now is beyond those category reach. Best thing let's stay back and develop Nigeria without leaving everything in the hands of corrupt leaders within our system while we should also double efforts to sacrifice and be productive |

Fiscus105:Most of politicians' grandkids and kids study abroad or even based abroad. Some have used money to secure Caribbean passports that allow them travel visa free worldwide. Even rich men in 9ja, many still kpeme before being rushed abroad in emergency. |

kingsways: Most people abroad can't afford that Paltry 1,000. They usually have bills to pay. Imagine someone earning 3,000 dollars per month, he pays rent of 1,500 dollars every month and that's just rent. Phone bills, utility and other exp are still there. Most people abroad don't have 2 million naira just laying about in their account. They buy most of the things you see on them on credit. It's a system where its hard to be rich. The only benefit is the system and enviroment. If Nigeria's economy was better, no one would think of leaving. |
