Walahi, nothing u wan talk ooooo, all of us dey come

No1girl:
after interacting with various immigrants abroad in different countries, and living abroad myself for the past 10yrs, there have been common challenges that immigrants face but don't like to often talk about due to shame and critics. life abroad could be your breakthrough but its good when you understand both sides of the coin. here are some struggles nigerians are facing in your dream countries (canada, usa, uk, etc);

- divorce: nigerian men like to complain about their wives growing wings once they reach abroad knowing fully well the system here is different. some women too no dey try, e be like say dey done ready the man, say once dey reach abroad, dey go show am shege. women love it here, the system empowers us. duh
i would imagine these wouldn't be an issue for a healthy couple that love and support each other.

- fake life: yes it looks good here. thinking of the dollar rate alone, there's no way your uncle abroad can convince you that he doesn't have any money, because you won't believe anyway. so your uncle will choose to live up to the expectation of looking good, taking nice pictures in the snow (on his days off from work) and dropping it hot on your socials to impress you. you love and respect that uncle, don't you? well, at least until he doesn't send dollarz home.

- broke af: uncle is broke. he's trying to pay off the money borrowed and spent on visa, fraudulent travel agents and expensive tickets while coming abroad. and even though he has spent 3yrs in canada, well think of the small small money he has sent so far. uncle dey try na. plus he has monthly bills to pay, like electricity, car insurance, house rent, phone bill, credit card debts, internet bills, life insurance ........

- child neglect: i'm a single mum with 2 beautiful daughters and i japa from nigeria to provide better life for my kids. yes sometimes i works 16hrs shift, and my kids have to stay at home by themselves, the eldest is 12yo and her younger sister is 9yo. i don't like leaving them at home by themselves especially because of social services but money has to be made na, i have plenty responsibilities. there is no grandma or house help to look after them here but, they will understand the sacrifice i'm making, when they grow up.

life abroad has lots of positives and its good to experience it (if you want to), but its not all rosy. plan & strategize.
wishing you the best.

For those comments above me OP is letting you know the good and bad part of abroad before you Jakpa E get why
You guys don’t want to hear the negative part ! Is better to get prepared with reality over there before Jakpa ! Is working country yes, but you pay through your nose to enjoy what the system put in place by their government is not like Nigeria where we bypass almost everything.

I nor see any tin bad op. I thought I will read the white pple kill blacks everyday.

Abeg make una rest

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Any sensible person wanting to japa will want to know what he will face abroad and be well prepared before leaving. Those who don't are mainly the ones who live in misery from day one.

From personal encounter. Went to pick up a Nairalander at JFK ... arrived well prepared ... was chatting with two others first timers. Asked where th ohr two were going ... they didn't know. They simply bought tickets... and japa. Tried calling their contacts... the people answering apparently knew nothing about their coming and hung up. One .... living in another State ... finally claimed she would try and come for them. I left them there. The airport is isolated .... not a place where you can just walk off into the city. Whatever happens to them I always wonder.

Nobody I swing don't japa .... just be prepared.

If you think knowledge is bad ... try ignorance.

This one is your own. My own is I got PR for canada via express entry and applied for software engineering jobs remotely from Lagos. Landed two and accepted one before I landed. I stayed at a friends house for my first few days sleeping on his sofa till my first salary entered. After I received my first salary (less than two weeks after I landed) I sent 100k to my dad and 100k to my mum. They called to ask me why I'm sending them money when I only just arrived and havent settled down. I moved to an Air bnb that weekend and spent 4 months there. I also got a credit card a day after I arrived with a limit of $4000. I used up the first four months building my credit score and saving. After four months I rented a condo in Toronto for $2000 monthly. My mum retired in February as a civil servant while my dad is much more buoyant than she is. Her pension is barely a little over 100k but I change $450 and send to her monthly. In addition to doing this I'm able to live comfortably and still save 25% of my income monthly. Later this month I'll be going to Nigeria to visit them as I havent seen my parents since I moved here 6 months ago. Anyone that wants to leave nigeria should do their homework and move. Nigerians are doing well in both home and abroad. Make yourself among the ones that do well either at home or abroad. Don't be discouraged by all this negative talk. By the way I'm 31 years old. Some days ago the bank increased my credit limit. I never use more than 10 per cent of my limit hence they probably want to get me to spend more. With good planning, entering the country legitimately (avoid aduro route), proper skills and some luck you'll be alright.

Wait o... Second thread on FP today trying to discourage Japa!

What exactly is the motive?!!

Life is about choices!!!... If e hard you over there, then get on a plane and get the fvck out!

The harder you all try to discourage others from coming to 'suffer' with you, the more they show up... So, give it up already!

This is not gonna work dear abroad people...! These people are coming to drag that abroad with you!

The only way to cut down Japa is to turn Naija to Japan!!!

The most annoying part is that some of you abroad also support APC and PDP!!!... Don't worry, the numbers coming over next year alone will shock y'all to the bone!

AllDModsAreMaad:
Thank you for your concern, you can now face front and mind your business...

I've a request that you need to look at, please - I'm interested in loving you until eternity...I want to be an integral part of your life, just like your daughter's.

Can we bond together?

You can send me a mention on this thread, please or better still, pm.
