It is my little secret to attain fame and success.
I have it all mapped out and with just 2million naira I will set the plan rolling.

I dey feel you. Lmfao

Hello all,

If you got 26 M naira tomorrow, do you stay or japa ? I have a friend who inherited 26 M with a wife and son. He has decided to stay. I can't see that money lasting more than 2 years with today's economy in naija.

Fellow nairalander, what would you do ? Stay and invest, or leave ?

JAPA!
If I had not left Nigeria when I did,at this point no amount of money will make me stay back.
The more money I have,the faster I will japa

No go wine me with this post oh
Once you reach Yankee you cant lack food
Just don’t do drug abroad simple

For Yankee way he say he get places way be say na free food

And there is a place you can get a card for free and be using to eat

Mariangeles:


Apparently, 26 Nigerian million is not enough to run this sheet, so I'll stay.

Hmmmmm 🤔

tensazangetsu20:
I will stay. Life is very hard abroad. Forget what you hear. Nigeria is the best country on earth. Just have more faith in t pain.

Na them, APC paid Tpain transformers

AngelicBeing:
Hmmmmm 🤔

Mhmm! 😌

Karleb:
Money that may not be upto $10k by next year.

How many people have 10k USD in their account abroad as savings?

I'll convert to usd, that's $15,800 send to my deriv account and make minimum of 3% per day and compound.
Haaa the money 💰 already double after 25 days.
No plan to Japan.
Work in Nija and earn in usd $👊

phorget:
26million... I will only send my family to a more better climes, personal I will remain in Nigeria and build my idea with just 5million.

21million to get my family outside, 5million for myself.

Your wife will go and be knacking outside

I'll stay and convert the money to Usdt, at least Tpain policies can't devalue it again. I'll stake some of the Usdt. By the time naira crashes further, the money for gain more weight. Then I'll look for a business to invest in. There are still opportunities in Nigeria despite the setbacks. People are still making money.

Stay back and invest. But invest in services not buying and selling

26m means you are a multimillionaire. If you have a good business idea, with that you can build a castle in Nigeria.

Japa

LOL!!! I guess Nigerians are hard headed, asking the same questions over and over. There's even threads from 2007 on this topic.

In about 10 years the question will be "Should I start a business with ₦1 billion or jakpa?"

Kenn55:
Japa to where? With what visa? With what skill? Even immigrant friendly countries are now tightening their immigration policies. It is no longer sure for students to get work permit after studies now sef. Some of you guys talk like it is just easy walking into an embassy and getting a visa. N26m is less than $18k oooo

As to skill, nobody needs a skill to START their life in an Anglo-Western nation. My life is testimony to that REALITY. A free market economy has a place for EVERYONE to earn a decent wage. As in, entry-level jobs and low skill jobs, they exist for a reason.

Now getting a visa and ticket money, that's the real problem.

Anyway living in Nigeria is still better than living in the US & UK. Ask the Anti-Jakpa Crew!!!

Good Luck to Nigerians!!!

Arabk25:
They're better opportunities out there Nigeria is finished

Those opportunities can only be taken by people with the right skillsets. Not meant for everyone.

If you have such a skillset, either you are abroad or in Nigeria, you wont have much complaint.

Do not make it sound like the opportunities abroad are meant for everyone - Hell No!

That would answer your question as the grass is greener where one waters it, not necessarily where there is land.

The grass is truly greener where you water it but I think the difference is that there may be more water available to water the grass on one side versus the other.

Hello all,

If you got 26 M naira tomorrow, do you stay or japa ? I have a friend who inherited 26 M with a wife and son. He has decided to stay. I can't see that money lasting more than 2 years with today's economy in naija.

Fellow nairalander, what would you do ? Stay and invest, or leave ?

And what makes you think that Japa is an automatic ticket to Fortune?

Why are you still thinking that Japa is a huge sign of success?

Why do you always think that Japa people are living fine just because of their pictures you see on social media, why don't you think about their life behind the scene ?

Stay

I'll stay

100 percent Stay. Invest the money and get double the Amount annually. Even stanbic IBTC gives 50percent return annually.

A little word is enough for the Wise..

Mosdiii:
That money is chicken change if you intend traveling abroad to start all over. That's just about $16,000. Not much at all

You guys are comedians.

I asked again - what is the percentage of people that have even 5000 USD in their account abroad as savings?

People that live paycheck to paycheck and their accounts are constantly in red.

I am not against anyone who wanna travel but stop making it sound like 16,000 USD is so easy to come by abroad.

If some people abroad could be offered the same job they were doing before they left Nigeria, they would snatch your hands off to accept it back. Reason why most people cant come back to Nigeria is because they have nothing again to fall back on in Nigeria.

Japa, I would have stayed but it doesn't look like things we get better

ednut1:
block account for a single person to Germany is 11,900 euros. Thats like 21m. Now imagine this person has a wife and child 🥴

Must he go with wife and kids immediately .?...they can go and join him later....26million will be enough if he doesnt go to stvpid countries like UK ....

There are other Countries in Europe that don't use block account and u can run proof of funds with garbage in garbage out personal account.....tuition is not even up to 5000£ ....
University of Luxembourg has tuition as low as 300€ for life science courses..and 1800€ for management sciences

Do u know Belgium has option of using third-party that has a good account statement amd income to stand in for u as proof of funds .....and the person doesn't have to be family....

Guy make una nor dey discourage person oooo... Pple dey jappa with 15 milion....let alone 26Million

DaddyGngeess:
Na waoo, anyway everyone can't be a business person, you have 26m and you wanna japa to abroad, there is something most people don't understand abroad this japa stuff, becoming wealthy in abroad is difficult also but basic amenities and quality of life is assured, but in Nigeria you can become very very rich if you know how plan well with that kind of amount

Basic amenities are ONLY assured if you pay for them.

There are people sleeping in darkness abroad because they do not have money to pay for their electricity bill.

Mariangeles:


Even in the US, $16k is not "just".

Do you mind those individuals that have not been to airport making some silly permutation and combination ?.

Well said, the same bulshit topic repeating itself yearly , meanwhile this gif below 👇 are the 2 Pharaohs that are enjoying Nigeria at the moment

Stay and triple the money...

Do not make it sound like the opportunities abroad are meant for everyone - Hell No!

I know 30 to 40 year olds that migrated to the USA and started as cooks, drivers and cashiers...got married, had kids and made it to the middle class in 10 to 20 years.

On a long-term basis, their FAMILIES have better living standards and more wealth than they would LIKELY have gotten in Nigeria.

Also there's the REALITY that some people don't have the intelligence or work ethic to develop high value skills. For such people the USA and other Anglo-Western countries is a much better place than Nigeria.

While there's no guarantee, the data produced by various trusted sources show there's a higher likelihood of falling into poverty in Nigeria. A lot of highly skilled Nigerians returned from abroad to live permanently in Nigeria in the 1970s. Many, likely a majority of them, fell into poverty. Maybe that's why nobody cares about their stories, they don't match the tales of Nigeria as a potential paradise for hard working people 🤔 Even in 2007 to 2014, diaspora Nigerians were still returning to live in Nigeria. I was one of them.

Nigeria is a feudal-socialist economy. Socialism produces poverty. Nigeria has been the OFFICIAL Poverty Capital of the World since 2018. Can't argue with that. Ask the Anti-Jakpa Crew!!!

Good Luck to Nigeria

even the a list you mentioned, 26M WIll take you..haba

TheTraveler:

This thing some of you do here, I don’t know if it’s discouragement or what, but you guys will always have something negative to say, even if someone mentions that they have 100m, you’ll be surprised when they tell you it’s not enough.

It’s the naira weak, yes.
Are countries tightening their immigration laws, yes.

We know all these, but c’mon 26m is still a reasonable amount of money, no matter how you want to twist it, and will get you into most universities in EU countries, unless you’re targeting the A-List countries like the US, Canada, UK.

Make we sha take am easy.
