Here is a thread I painstakingly created not long ago just to motivate guys like you to put more effort in your Japa hustle.

Unfortunately, the mods, Justwise and DisGuy have refused to push it to front page filled with mediocrity.

Another reason we could be disinterested in sharing our experiences here from the US.

In my opinion, for a black person with a superior passport, I see Canada as a downgrade to migrate to. If it is not the United States, I remain wey I dey. Well, I am a capitalist. Anything for capitalism. grin

Yes.

Only third worlders are interested in Canada, same as USA.

For example if you check the list of countries that got the most PR in Canada and US, they were mostly from the underdeveloped world.

Europeans hardly move there. Visit yes, study for a while yes, but to move? Naaa. Its a massive downgrade of lifestyle and quality of life.

Put on YouTube 'homelessness in Vancouver", you'll be shocked to your bone. Those fentanyl inhaling zombies is fast spreading to Canada from the US.

Thousands sleeping on the street, they can't afford to rent or even own a home. And these are even white folks, citizens, not immigrants.

Canada is ridiculously too expensive. People work there just to pay rent. Even a doctor that earns above 150k a year might find it hard to own a home.

Meanwhile in Europe, people with 3k salary a month can get a house on mortgage, and you'll never see homelessness the level of North America.

Canada disappointed me really. Even sadly, their government will rather pump billions upon billions of dollars to Ukraine, instead of help the downtrodden in their community.

That’s the truth. They are single and miserable and filled with ego even with their 18 cad per hour job they are financing cars worth 30,000 cad just to live fake life thinking that a mugu will sight them one day. This is a capitalist country and men are wise here . If a regular nigeria guy ask them out, they will embarrass him. They are only looking for already established men. You will see them on social media complaining bitterly that their is no husband in canada . They are praying unto God for problems they created. They are over 40years of age still hopeful and stay hopeful.

Omo, calm down o.

Just get PR move back to maybe Ghana or naija. No point living in Canada if it destroys your soul. Or you understand the game, work with the coin you're giving in life, and play to move up there.

Then be equally ruthless in mate selection, since you've been at the bottom of the selection before and know that place very well. The top always feels better than the bottom.

As a man, always position your self in a place where you'll have "comparative advantages". Meaning that a Nigerian with a western passport will have far more romantic opportunities in Africa than in the West.

For example, Davido or Yemi Alade will never blow like they did in Nigeria if they are in the West. Same as Burna boy, wizkid, etc. Your home will always crown you.

Better be a lion in a jungle, that a dog in a city. This life, na like game, know your cards and play to your advantage.

So don't ever catch yourself complaining or being angry at the game, it's the way of loosers. Don't do it. Get angry with yourself that you allowed yourself to be beaten.

Life is not for the weak. Toughen up man.

Tech is the way. The hard aspect of it - fullstack or backend. But you have to be very good at it - top 5%. That is the area Africans, or specifically young Nigerians, can use to convince employers in any part of the world to employ them. It is country-neutral compared to medicine or law. You don't need country-specific training to hit the ground running. However, in the long run, the lack of degree would affect you, even at the nascent stage of being employed by foreign firms. The scrutiny applied to folks with no degree supersedes those with bachelor's degrees, even after accounting for years of experience and their quality. For instance, the immigration authority in Japan would not grant working visa authorisation to a firm to employ someone a foreigner without a bachelor degree or the equivalent of ten years cognate working experience (this has to be proven in recommendation letters by previous employers, salaries, taxes paid etc).

In summary, get that degree in a relevant field, and be good at what you do.

Bro by now you should know the US and her allies are not pumping billions into Ukraine because they love her or to uphold any nonsense democracy.
They are doing it strictly for their own survival.
The aim is simple - whittle down and breakup any impending opposition to the present status like Russia and china because a change in status is an impending doom on them.
These guys are not thinking or fighting for now or present. The whites think far and plan far reason why we see their societies well planned.
It is a fight for their own future. They are sacrificing little today so as to ripe bountifully tomorrow.
By the way, I tried chatting you up on WhatsApp but it seems you are not using that line again on WhatsApp.
How can I chat you up privately?

I was born in poverty but I refused to die in poverty. Anyway, thank you sir. I'm currently trying to fit into Amazon kdp and lift myself up. I don't have sponsor or anything!

Even the Nwaboi apprenticeship I was forced into, took me lower than I had ever been but I escaped and I will get there.

Exactly. Alot of people in Naija won't understand how hard abroad life is too in its own way!!! The grass is surely not greener anywhere.
But I agree an international exposure is good so you have a more balanced view of the world.

Japa - OTHERS TAKE THE POSITION YOU LEFT IN NIGERIA.

After some fortune diggers in judge's uniform approved INEC'S rascality and impunity in Nigeria; more Nigerians than ever, mostly from the south, will leave Nigeria.
But the movement abroad is at the favour of nomadic Fulani from the Sahel region of West Africa. The Fulani will take the positions left by the Japas. Buhsri, the modern day Othman Dan Fodio planned his exit from office well well.
