Lord help me to japa o cos I don't have Investment to liquidate

helinues:
The places they are running to, they would still need to work their ass off because no free things even in Freetown.

I am not discouraging those who want to Japa oo, but before you Japa, make sure you have degree/certificates that could earn you jobs immediately you arrived at your destination, have skills about things that can fetch you money.

These are some of the stupid mindset we are talking about. When you don't have the means to japa, you will always resort to discouraging people. Mumu talk. Did anyone tell you that they pluck money abroad before?

Shame on all anti japa folks like you. Shame on you.

Teenaira:


Chinedu, why you dey yarn this kin yarn naa. If we no vote Tinubu, se na dat senior rogue Obi we go come vote ?

Ronu, you no like better thing for your life? No dey curse your fellow masses because of these useless politicians that doesn't know you exist

MajorOvakporaye:


Chronic liar!!! See how everybody don know you for this forum as lamba master. Someone who lives in a one room apartment in Oshogbo dey tell people say e don travel outside Nigeria. Ekperima!!!

Point of correction, person wey him grandmother still dey feed..the werey no fit afford face me I slap you apartment for Ogbomosho

DaddyJapan:


So it is now 50 hours and no longer the 40 hours you mentioned earlier, mrvitalis?
Are you aware that even the government makes a distinction between "minimum wage" and "living wage", with the latter being higher.

You really think someone earning 300,000 Naira in Nigeria - 10 times the minimum wage - will fair a lot worse than a minimum wage earner in the UK?
If you believe this to true, you need to get out and interact more with the real world.

as someone who used to earn way over ten times minimum wage before moving to the UK, I ha e lived both sides and I'll tell u that quality of life wise, especially as a single person, even 13 times naija minimum wage cannot match £12 quid an hour earner in the UK, especially if you are not living in London

Forget it
being able to buy sharwarma and suya for girls, flexing over the weekend and fooling yourself in shop rite no be quality of life lemme not lie you

Not hearing generators noise alone sef
noise pollution
safety concerns
envious people around you
the list is endless abeg

ihavesense:

Lol you are trying to sound reasonable but you are a tribalist.
I am sure that you don’t want to travel because you believe that tinubu will make Nigeria great 😆

helinues don't have the means to travel. Not that he doesn't want to travel out. He just doesn't have the means. Relocation is very expensive now. So, because they know they will never smell abroad, they resort to dishing out sorry folktales. Only losers discourage people from chasing their dreams cuz they can't achieve theirs.

It's just like a lady who is discouraging other ladies from subjecting to the leadership of men and want to drag others to remain single like them without a man. That's what people like helinues and loads of other failed Nigerians who don't have the means to travel are doing.

Very yeye human beings.

the endless rat race

mrvitalis:

What the hell are you talking about ... When people without basic knowledge talk u just know

Someone in the UK who earns minimum wage and work 40 hours a week would live a betterore quality life that someone earning 10 timed minimum wage in nigeria

Don't even want to mention US or Austria or Germany

One hour wage can buy food stuff than can feed you for two days

No wonder u left nigeria years ago

300k 2 years ago is over 1 million now

Shawarma now is now 4500 for a good one
Buy for you and girl 9000 ... U think it's still 1500 ?

Some of you may be right if you believe the reason you cannot do well in Nigeria is because you are a second class citizen.

As a second class, even not a member of privileged class, you will miss your village when you realize you belong to the LAST class.

I agree that money and food means a lot. But how good is that money and food you cannot enjoy? If you think looking down on you despite your classy house and cars is fun, ask yourself how sweet it is as an African that brags because your children, families and friends, at least give you respect as a man in Africa

Compared to a place where they look down on you despite your clean hardwork for your success. Even when you become the head of the dog catcher with all your degrees, watch your back constantly because many cannot wait to replace you with less qualifications. Wondering how you got the leadership position in the first place.

No need to talk about lost children, wife and dear culture you would come to appreciate in Africa when it is too late. I pity those who japa after age 30 more.

Even untouchables have more pride in Africa with success. But desperation in Africa, turns hell into paradise abroad. Goodluck!

This write up dey always deceive many people for country..make every Nigerian get one day visa to visit other countries for just one day...if them come them go leave tribalism go hold them leaders accountable instantly

You guys don't like hearing people travelling out to help themselves. You want everyone to remain and eat the shit from this government

Chai! Terrible country bastardized by wicked politicians. It will never be well with them.

Those last three paragraphs are soo true mehn

I speak from experience. Last week we had to contribute money to someon who sold everything and got here.
Children no food, house rent etc no de.

This is someone in a managerial position back in Nigeria. He has developed high blood pressure.

The hurrible shift jobs I do, I won't do that in Nigeria. But we have to encourage our self and move on.

Let me break it down to u... Can u stand 12hours cleaning with just 15 minutes break all night. Or all day. That's you won't sit down. Sitting down your supervisor will report as u are unfit for the job. And this job no de come always


See Japa no easy oh

As I de type now I de go shift go work under cold and will do the job. Standing all through under minus degree.

For old men they should consider their age as oyibo no send u

Brother, I don’t disagree with you that life abroad is not a bed of roses.

There is a price for living in a developed and flourishing nation... You have to put in the shift, you have to grind!


That's why you count your costs and prepare well before boarding that plane! No one is there waiting to fund your lifestyle.

That doesn't make it bad! Matter of fact, it simply creates more responsible citizens who live within their means.

I used to buy it for 1500 sha
i don't know how much it costs now.

pur seniors when we started work used to be able to travel to Dubai and Joburg (the good old days of Arik Air) within one year
some will squeeze in Accra to make it three destinations in one year
on a salary less than 7 million per annum
and still had a car
their wife were earning something too so extra income
they could do so much back then and we used to look up to them
when we got closer to the ranks, that's when Bpohari and Tinubu decided to destroy the country

Today let a Semi Senior or even a senior try the kind of life someone on his grade was living ten years ago. let's see what happens
that's why the big four is getting decimated with brain drain
why sell yourself short when you can earn more and live better elsewhere?

honestly the govt had to do something
or is this deliberate to make people serfs?

You work your ass off you say? Then what are we doing in Nigeria? Playing and dancing abi?. People just say things because they want to sound logical rather than facing the realities. The political class should continue with their wickedness until they won't be able to satisfy their filthy appetite

What route did you use?

Which country?

My biggest concern about leaving this country is starting a generation that will never return to their country ever again.

Does your government even care about the generation? They'd grateful u took the bold step to relocate their destinies where the system works.

You actually think all the people that are japa'ing really have 15 - 20 million Naira? Newsflash, most people get "creative" when it comes to proof of funds... I am not going to say more than that in order not to cause problems for others who are intending to japa.

cococandy:


Poor people can’t even japa. It’s upwards of 15-20 million to do so. Is that the definition of poor in Nigeria?

Poor people are stuck and it’s unfortunate

What is this one talking about ?
Have you lived in the UK to know that people are being treated like scum here ?
anyways this is what I'll say

yes there are racists here
yes there are people that will always feel superior to you despite the achievements that you may have here

Heck, there are white bus drivers in Suffolk who think they are superior (in their delusion) to Rishi Sunak, somebody who went to Winchester oooo.

but the opportunities available to people who are ready to put in their all here is limitless. You just need to put in the work.
By virtue of my ethnic group in Nigeria (igbo) I am already on that ground alone disqualified to lead Nigeria in the minds of a significant part of the population .
why then should I worry about what a hungry white person thinks about me here when even in my country of origin people are still tribalistic towards me

Suella Braveman, Kevin Badernoch, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel, Savii Javid, Kwasi Kwarteng and the list goes on and on all got to the pinnacle of the British society despite being minorities

Mo Ibrahim and Strive Masiyiwa are billionaires in pounds in this same UK
what of the many multimillionaire blacks that are just hiding themselves ?
or the many Indian billionaires families here

forget all that talk u are talking

No Be Small Thing ooooo

Weti happen my brother? Person don kpai again? You know say na so so bad news you dey carry for a living o.

But i heard there are no jobs in U.K and Canada.

osothermal:
work! Work! Work! Some of you guys in Nigeria are so used to stealing, defrauding and all sorts of get Rich quick syndrome that Work becomes a strange thing to you. Developed nations are were they are because of the energies they put in to work. Even the holy book admonishes whoever wants to eat to work first. Here If you want enough money then there's enough work to earn it. In the UK, you'll see under 18 British folks earning lots of money working hard

SoNature:


“Also, between January and now, out of 10 people that I said ‘they would not Japa’, you just hear somebody call you later and say, ‘Oh, you know, I’ve not been around’.

“And you say, okay, ‘when are you coming back?’ And they say they’re not coming back.

Somehow, I find this line kinda funny

So developed countries dont subsidised?

Angelfrost:


Brother, let's be honest with ourselves for once...!

The subsidised welfarist system we operate in Nigeria is not done in any developed country, and it's not sustainable for growth and development.

You will eat worse shit abroad and peacefully too pretending you enjoy it. All your loud mouth against any government in power will be shut tight. It is then you will realize that it takes less effort to fight government at home than abroad where you don't belong.

RodgersAkpafu:


I live in the United Kingdom so I know what I an saying. We do not have a community here as other groups do, and on that account alone, most of our people will for sure suffer.
Lemme give you an example

There is a south Asian business called Abu Bakr in my city
there is NO African business that operates on that scale anywhere in any direction in this city, and it's very very big city
they employ their ppl and support themselves

despite our level of our supposed smartness as we claim, why don't we have businesses of that sa
why don't we have similar structures of that scale that cam create value for us?

I think our people are so focused on finding white colar job which has become very competitive to land a good one.
An experienced software developer, someone I call boss who has worked in the fin tech sector for years in Nigeria, after moving to the UK, he decided not to even work, I mean like the regular office work. He was like the take home pay after tax deduction is bad for him judging from his bills. So, he opted to working on contract bases which he said pays him better.
I think our people arent creative to take advantage of a working system and build structures and solid business. They migrate and still continue the white colar job mentality which has become very competetive and start earning low and have to double work to earn more and meet up.
