I agree. I've even had this argument with BlueRayDick in the past.

The question is, people are leaving those same jobs for a reason. Why?

Some companies have even tried increasing salaries, compensation e.t.c. They only ended up making it faster for people to japa since they can now raise more money in a shorter period of time.

Itsrm:


I used to be seriously anti japa too and the last time I mentioned it to my immediate younger brother, he just looked at me like what is this one saying.

These days I wonder why I didn't leave much earlier.

raumdeuter:


Just like many people have japad, Many people here too just be like once I get my papers, Once my kids enter college I am relocating back to Naija

One of my former colleagues is currently in Nigeria finishing his house in Lekki his last born has 2 more yrs in High School. He said immediately he graduates he is moving back to Nigeria cos the enjoyment he experience everytime in Naija is just too sweet

Actually on the Island, there is like a community of Naija people who relocated from UK Canada and US and hang around together regularly

Itsrm:


I get but we go also come first and relocate to Naija later

Between the people doing the 1m match and Obis children who will be the greatest beneficiary if he wins the election?

Shouldn't his own children be at the fore front of his campaign? Why is he hiding them in London? Is that not what every other politician does? What now makes him different?

Nezzjnr:

Did I say Obi is different from the rest??

My question still remains the same... The Obidients Campaigning for him... Don't they have the rights to do so?? .

You guys will insult them... But when they retaliate... You'll start wailing

Anyone is free to campaign for anyone.. It's actually the Obidients that have a problem with that

Anyone not campaigning for Obi is a tribalist, a terrorist, an urchin and everything bad with Nigeria

OasisX:
While we are all planning to japa, Lebanese and Indians are trooping in and cashing out big time in Lagos (Island).

Almost all major Restaurants on the Island are owned by Lebanese. Same as Hotels and Supermarkets.

They are gradually diverting to Clubs too, there is this popular Club at Oju Olobun in VI owned by a Lebanese, its lit mhen.

liveLongNprospa:


Nah.. You are a tribalist outside the Obi thing.
Calling you a tribalist is alot easier than typing your handle.. It's your identity also .

raumdeuter:


I am simply following in the ways of Obi

Obi simply put my words in his own words

Nezzjnr:

My own point be say make everybody Campaign for whoever they want to Campaign for without calling other people names.

If Obi loose.. Fine

If Tinubu loose.. Fine

If Atiku loose... Fine.

Life goes on.... I just want a better economy and a Tight security... That's all

nihilistjnr:


I don't believe its profitable to actually run a club legitimately on the island.

You pay rent in forex, buy bottles in forex and sell in Naira. You buy diesel for generator and spend a fortune on light fittings and decor.

You will be forced to pass the costs to your customer but there's a point where even the most spendthrift customer will baulk, especially given the intense competition there is for his money.

Much of rhe Island is a bubble inflated by drug and fraud barons looking to park their ill gotten funds, or politically connected looting class.

That's why property prices in Lekki let alone VI or Ikoyi are divorced from reality, and have been for a long time.

The Island is a giant laundromat bruh.

People here are saying that Nigeria has no future and no hope..

You are not the same

But your tribalism predates Obi's candidacy nau.

So you started ahead of time just to give your lies legitimacy

Me no dey even plan to relocate to Naija even after retirement. Anything besides visits, max 1month at a time

E get one guy wey him wife say make dem come US come born, Na so he begin fight the wife say she get Oyinbo are superior mentality. And he has the means. He has travelled at least 40 countries in the world

raumdeuter:


This "bubble" has been going on for so long that it has become the reality. The Champaign you buy for $200 they can sell for $2K in Naija

There is a drink called Azul kind of popular in Naija clubs I heard in some places they sell a bottle for almost 1m

This is the price of Azul from my internet search. See the margin they make on it

nihilistjnr:
Dayo I just dey look your prices again. Omo una dey enjoy o.

60 dollars for one Azul when na around 170-180 retail for here.

This japa depends on each person's situation. It generally pays an educated guy with good skill set but there are people who will lose out if they japa. One of my guys went abroad for some post-graduate degrees and came back to be made commissioner. Another one is the go to guy for bum bum for all those top actresses and senators' wives dem. Yet another one is locked in at one health insurance scheme like that (i don't have the details). For those guys only the top earners amongst us abroad can even be near them. However the chances of having similar success increases if you are outside the country.

For me though the mere thought of those Naija roads and the insecurity dey give me headache. Being able to buy houses, cars e.t.c easily without tying my money down is also important. It is about more than money though money is a major factor.

raumdeuter:


Azul 60-100 by the time you buy a thousand bottles they might even sell to you for $40-50 yet you reach Lagos and sell for about $1,000

Is that not blood money already

The way Naija guys have a taste for foreign brands you sef go shock, Things wey you in UK don't even know about, Lagos boys go dey flaunt am on the steady
Honestly, Na from Naija club goers I even hear of Azul

This is mine
