Ibime:


Indeed, depending on your level in Naija. Those ones are not Japa, they are "transfer". These are usually guys who could have Japa at any stage but won't bother unless someone comes begging them, or if they see an opportunity too juicy. I asked my guy Jarus if he ever planned to work abroad, he said no, unless an International agency like UN come for him. Na those kain guys wey dey at the top fit Japa in their 40s. Even one of my uncle is about to Japa in his 60s because a company in Canada came for him for directorship role. Another uncle Japa in his mid-40s straight from Shell to Norway via Oil and Gas. From there he still transferred to Canada after few years.

TheDarkGamer:


It's not that deep.

I never advised people not to leave the country, my focus was on people that have no means to do so, and probably never will.

Besides, I'm a student in a Top 5 Canadian university. My parents pay tens of millions (naira) just for my yearly tuition. My living expenses like food, housing (I live in a house off campus), shopping, etc is also quite expensive and another financial expense as well, though it helps if you have a job. My point is, I could afford that (or my parents could). Not everyone is that privileged. That's why I said that the solution to Nigeria's problems (if you believe it has a solution) is not to "japa'. Not everyone can do that.

So, I think posting a screenshot of my past quotes make no sense in this context. I'm not against immigrating, do it if you can. But, what happens to those you leave behind?

TheDarkGamer:


I'll say once again that I'm not against the idea of leaving the country. No, it's probably the best decision a person can take in this trying times.

I just wanted to point out that there are people out there that cannot do that and don't have the luxury to do so. People saying 'japa' are only looking out for themselves and their best interest (which is understandable because it's human nature). But, what is the fate of the people you leave behind in the country. If you want to leave and have the means to do so, at least encourage the people that can't leave to vote and try to make a difference in their lives. That's all. It doesn't matter if you think that the elections are just formality or a waste of time. It would cost you nothing to vote for your country. If a bad candidate comes in, you have a clean conscience knowing that you made an effort.

Besides, I wrote what I wrote based on posts I saw within the last ten pages or so. Not necessarily 24 hours ago.

Thank you.

It makes a lot of sense because you're clearly not qualified to be discussing a japa message

Your parents who are clearly people of means have realised that their child is better off in a different country. Your parents....not you.

You're not a decision maker. You're not even 18 years old yet.

You just got to Canada. You don't have anything to offer. You've never held employment. You've never had to work for a living or even look for work. You're not a skilled professional who is wasting away in that shithole of a country.

That's why I brought that screenshot, because it provides the context for what I'm about to say next.

The abroad based people who have contributed to this conversation are highly qualified professionals, parents, home owners etc. In real life, we would be having this conversation with your mum and dad not with you.

I was at your exact stage in 2006. I am 35 years old now, a husband, a father, a british citizen, a multiple landlord, and can pay your schoolfees comfortably. Infact, i still sponsored my wife's masters degree 2 years ago. Im currently running my own MBA right now. This isn't to brag, but to make a point about thr opportunity the UK has given me personally.

So when I know what is possible, and I'm advising people to do thr needful, I'm not speaking from a theoretical standpoint, asking stupid questions like what happens to the people left behind - You that went to Canada this year, did you pack your whole family in your suitcase?

I'm talking to people who recognise life as an individual race, and are tired of a useless hopeless country holding back their destiny. Those are the people that I'm telling to come over here, to US, to Canada, Germany, etc, because I KNOW I made it, and so they can too.

So when a dissenting voice starts talking about Ekaete abd Abdul or whatever rubbish you were saying, it's very important to post screenshot that shed a little light on the person behind that voice, contextualising it as the voice of a 17 year old child who has no real idea about life.

You're not qualified to enter this discussion bro. Not even in the slightest.

AIT1:


Ibime sir, talking about Japa, is it possible to see a fully-funded Masters scholarship in UK? Can you recommend any scholarship someone can see such opportunity? First degree is in mathematics (4.45/5.0).

I want w use the school as I don’t have the financial capacity to go through another route.

Thanks boss.

All politicians na thief, Only that Atiku and Tinubu no dey act sanctimonious say

I have only one boxer, I ate only garri for 6yrs

The hidden part of the story. The other side of the coin.
Be very well researched before thinking of going out.
Else you end up like this ma nigga here.
You must ask yourself, what are the odds of success? Do you have a good support structure to catch you when you fall?

Did he legitimately leave Nigeria for Italy?

If yes, what means?

Nobody here has advised anybody to pass Niger-Libya route. They have encouraged us to leave legitimately

This one no follow bros.

raumdeuter:


You remember that format?

See na N10 Milo Buhari dey drink, See na only 150 cows he get, see he doesnt even have a foreign account, See he doesnt have a house in Abuja, Holy Sirit will direct me when to contest

Now na See he only wears one wristwatch, I ate garri everyday, I had no shoes, My adult son doesnt have a car,

Same old format ohh

Yet, the people keep falling

izzou:

donjazet:


Yesterday, You heard people here say even if it's via Libyan way, person must japa! I think afrodoc agreed with the person.

That's why I'm sounding the alarm. Japa should not be a do or die affair.
I maintain that you must have the money and the right support structure before you go there.

donjazet:
As I said earlier, success is loud, failure is silent.

Many at times, we hear of people that won millions via betting but you rarely hear is how much that particular person has lost before. The person won't tell you that the money he won hasn't even covered the one's he lost.

For every successful person here who emigrated, there is an equal number of those who emigrated and failed. But you won't see such story's here. Because everyone wants to always paint a picture of success online.

I've not heard Ibime, afrodoc or dayo talk about any single challenge they might have encountered along the way, challenges which they might have successfully scaled through but which can sink others.

So please my brothers. You must be open-eyed. You must make a completely well researched decision before making that leap. Thank you.

izzou:


Of course, I agree with you.

But I didn't see where afrodoc agreed to that oh

donjazet:
Is there any core northerner in the house?
Is this post true?
