I want us to put things in perspective.
Nigeria has problems, YES! So too does every other country. You guys are making it seem like nigeria is a totally catastrophic hell hole. Until you look at Sudan, Congo, Ukraine, etc. Then you realize it an issue of how relative our problems are.

In America, gangsterism and gun culture has led to a culture of violence. More than 100 people die everyday in America due to gun violence from citizens owning guns to gang affiliated murders in ghettos. Should we talk of Spain and Italy plagued with immigration problems?
Yes there are better than us, obviously But they too have problems.

I told you I was civil servant who couldn't afford to japa, that wasn't a cry for help. My family is comfortable enough for me to also Carter for others. By God's grace and blessings, my family feeds very well, myself and my wife have a car, our children go to good schools where I pay 50-60 thousand a term. Myself and my family have never had any security problem here in asaba. I live in a good apartment.
So I thank God for my life! So you see, I am not desperate to japa. My family doesn't have the existential need for it.
My life is NOT a disaster.

I'm living well within my means. I just wish that our leaders will get it right. I wish our politicians would start caring for the masses. And with what one is seeing on Facebook these days, it's as if the young people are actually beginning to understand the problems of this country and are getting involved. This creates much room for optimism.

THE SOLUTION IS NOT TO JAPA.
The solution is to get involved in the political process.

Man of God, who am I to question your decision and choices?

But abeg speak and limit am to yourself alone. If you are comfortable, have resigned fate, abeg continue. But please, don't deceive others who are not as privileged as you are, are stuck or think otherwise as they watch their prime years disappear with this your fear mongering.

Do you have kids of your own? IMO those are your primary responsibility. Cousins, nephew nieces are just secondary and dont take over your immediate family

Leave that young man. His age is speaking.

Godx:
You say tribalism/religion is dividing Nigeria yet in your own family you are already having secondary and primary priority.

As a kid I always ask myself why in the neighborhood, you will see one big man and his brother is struggling in life or living in his BQ. When you reach that age you go know why.

Family remains family. This is the kind of mindset that will make your extended family abandon your children when in need.

Baba dont gawk it, there are people who used religious angle as well. I know people who were serious in the church and the Churches like RCCG MFM Deeper life etc sent them to America with Religious visa to open ministries there. Oga Whichever one works for you

Na the end goal matter

When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, my dad and his friends will be there abusing the ruling class. Babangida this IBB that. I am 40 now, My mates in Nigeria are doing the same thing 20-30yrs later wishing, hoping and praying for good leaders.

Every 10yrs, Nigeria has been getting worse and we have been looking back to the 10yrs gone hoping we can only get there

e.g in 2010 when Boko Haram first surfaced we were hoping if we could go back to 2000, By 2021 having BkoHaram located in just NorthEast sounded like peaceful times, when Herdsmen, Unknown Gunmen, Bandits, Kidnappers etc have taken over, What do you think 2033 will look like and how old will you be in 2033.

Na so person life dey go while waiting for Jagaban and Atiku to do their turn

I'm glad that my wife has been applying for Japa sef before I marry her. She is less than 24 and very brainy. She dey use academic angle while I use religious angle.
I'm literally done with this country. A friends family friend (A Pastor) was recently posted to Canada and I've been on him to pull that angle of religious visa. Baba Sabi say I fit bite person neck wey go do yeye for my front.

Make i go serve God under better condition and pray less about issues that God has answered elsewhere already.

Oasis007:


Preachers of Japaism should be clear with their Sermon. If you wanna japa and don’t wanna regret it, try America, Canada and/or Europe only.

Don't try Arab Countries, only very few Nigerians are legally doing well in UAE, majority doing well in UAE are into Frauds, Drugs, and illicit Affairs.

If you ain't a financial Expert, IT/Tech Guru, Medical Practitioner, internationally certified Teacher.... avoid any Gulf Country.

Funny but Australia should top your list

I kukuma sabi say u no well before

Godx:
The America you one to Japa to, how many people have died in the past few weeks due to mass shooting ? How many of those living in America here have ran away to another country.

oga nah only America dey this world, the Ogas shouting JAPA is because it's only option dey took and it favoured em, they no dey force you ooo, as for me nah JAPA.

By next year I go finish my education, I'm into tech too, JAPA no go miss me

Ibime:


Leave that young man. His age is speaking.

There are some family members that I've not seen since year 2000. Some not in the last 15yrs. And that is what anyone will compare to your own biological children

What manner of half-assed comparison is this?

Even when you try to compare it, Americans have a lot of positive things to count towards.


Matter fact, the positives almost nullifies the negative ones.


As a Nigerian, what exactly can you boast of?

Don't fail to mention those that Japa and returned to Nigeria empty handed.

That's for their own cup of tea, if you go Yankee for illegal work, your reward is what you stated.

Ibime:


The guttural screams in this video is enough to freeze the blood. How can humans be this heartless?

This video was the pure definition of a massacre. I believe that's why this particular incident has made national news. The scene is just too gory. It's really a shame. I hope to leave this country soon.

Roland17:

I been no dey too gbadu Japa things until my bosom friend we lived together as housemates got married 2019 and Japa'd to Canada with his wife.

Apparently, his wife's family were rich and they sponsored their PR there. Baba started life as a cleaner, then to side-walk cleaner all in Calgary. Now, Baba is working professionally with a reputable Insurance company in Ottawa.

Life don soft for my man. We both did this pastor work together in Portharcourt. Most of the prayers we used to pray about then, he has stopped it. He dey serve God now for real, not because of situational problems or poor working society.

I want an environment where I'd serve God not because my daily bread depends on it, nor situations, but because I truly love God and want to serve him.

This pic got me bro. A man shielding his son. May the young man and the heroic father rest in peace. It shall never be well with those bastards. I apologise for the gory image

Apostle, I take God beg you, no use laff kill me before my Celtics play game 2 dis night

One friend wen go Switzerland tell me say, she no realize say she been dey live like mad pesin for Naija until she Japa reach Zurich.

Godx:

What are those positives? Am all ears. America is an hype Job.

I'm not about to write at an epistle for you. Your type is literally the ones who convince people to stay back as 'e go better'.


Same story that has been reshuffled year in year out. If the US is a hype job, best know 9ja is beyond a nightmare.

Ibime:

This video is definitely the most stomach-churning video I've ever seen. I saw one scene where the brains were splattered on the floor.

The people that did these are no longer human beings. This is why I support the capital punishment.
I don't like when liberals call for the abolishment of the death penalty. We must acknowledge that some Human beings no longer possess Characteristics of being human. They are now wild animals that need to be put down.

Just look at donstan18, he might not be a violent Maniac yet that kills people in cold blood, but read his posts and you see someone that lacks empathy and care for other people.

I read his posts like I'm reading a post from the nairalander called thesourcerer. That one na confirm serial killer. Him and donstans posts are very similar in their inhumane opinions on life. The lack of humanity, the lack of sympathy or empathy for his fellow human being. You see it all.

Big man, see eh, Nigeria is a hole for reals. It can make you go mad and crazy same time.

Around December last year, I was driving interstate with my wife to go for a Christian program I was invited for at Makurdi from PH.

Using Google map made me not to drive on full speed plus my babe no dey gree make i fire as I been dey fire when I single.
Omo, after Enugu, heading towards Otukpo around that 6.30/7pm, I saw scores of scantily dressed young men numbering about 15 with locally made guns and cutlasses coming out of the surrounding thick bushes and hills towards the roads. Few started running towards my car from the other lane

If I been no kpai that day, forget. In split seconds, I increased speed and zeroed my mind that any bastard that enters my front will have a date with his maker that evening.

My hands, legs and every part of my body shook for 10mins. It started to dawn on me that this was how people die on the highway; kidnappings, rape and the likes.

For church program wey I dey go? I told God, "Baba, we gats reason o, shey na like this we go dey"?

The thought that I could have lost my life or my wife or even both scared the shiit out of me. Wife wey I just marry now now now I never chop well

Baba, abeg no dey take that kain risk oh. If dem invite you for program, tell dem make dem add flight money join or you fly yourself. That na serious risk wen you take. Oyinbo people dey talk say "You for just be statistics" but for Naija wen no data dey, you for just be memory to your loved ones.

Skimpledawg:
I just dey laugh here sha

Just like Ibime said, it is you becoming the bridge on which your generations to come build on. That's the ginger.

I don try academic route for PhD, e no gree click. Now I'm married, na religious angle I dey try na.

Taah! e must click. This Apostle work go carry me Japa from this country man. My children won't come and experience this shit hole of a country.

Japa is a must!

Raising a generation of the spirit

Religious people automatically becomes logical and normal because 99.376% of what they religiously pray and simp for have been met in the Western world.

But JAPA no be the option, na APC and PDP be the solution

larride:


This makes no sense.

Finding the killers of the Owo incident and Tinubu winning Presidential election are not mutually exclusive.

Infact not finding the killers of the incident will likely dent the chances of the party in the general election.

You think oppositions won’t use the insecurity in the land to campaign against the APC? (rightly so)

I want the criminals terrorizing the country to be caught and dealt with and Tinubu still remain my preferred candidate.

Tinubu is one of the criminals terrorizing this country. That miscreant called Sanwo just signs blank cheques and takes the booklet to bourdillon.

Godx:

No need to write epistles bro. Just list the so called positives of the great America.

Access to better healthcare?

Education?

Infrastructure and General quality of life? As much as I want to go on and on, it's almost pointless this comparison.



I ask you again, living in Nigeria, what can you boast of?

Baba, airlines never start to ply Makurdi route as the only way was to fly to Abuja, then use road to Makurdi. There was no way I'd have avoided the road trip. So, I suggested wifey follow me make we do interstate.

Never again. I literally died that day on the steering wheel.
