Dey play

Na ur own be dat😂😂😂

santaclaws:
Not a bad idea to have a contrary opinion on Japa, but your claim that Nigerians youths moving to other countries is an act of cowardice is definitely an unreasonable statement.

You didn't take into account that so many people have been struggling in this country even before the economic issues. A lot don't have jobs in Nigeria despite being graduates and most employed people are underpaid.

If the youths aren't cowards, they should stay over and allow visionless politicians, poverty and hyperinflation ruin their lives? Or betterstill, they should take up arms and challenge the government so that they can die for nothing... 😒

Who no go no go know. When you japa, your eyes go clear. If you think you are suffering in Nigeria, when you japa, you understand what is truly called suffering. You guys really think the pasture is greener over there? I laugh in Cameroon. Just dey play. You all will learn the hard way

The only incentive for relocating to the west is the exchange rate.....nothing more...

The working conditions is far worse.
The taste of their food is another disaster for an immigrant.


Nigerian in the west are only pretending to be better off than those in Nigeria.....and to perfect the lies.......they post their earrings and expenditures in Naira online.........what else can be deceiptful that earnings and spending in dollars but your calculation is in naira..........gross inferiority complex at it peak


One of my uncle in New York told; when you leave that country (Nigeria) then you'll understand how bad the country is....... meanwhile up till now, he is unable to secure a reasonable career driven job....

If your combined income as a couple is less than 1m-1.5m in naija, you can afford to Japan and you are still younger than 45-50, please Japa!

Cost of living is lower in naija but where is the money to buy those things? Standard of living is below acceptable standard despite the low cost of living, so what's the gain?

If you can afford to travel for vacation or even work, stay in naija and travel when necessary but if you can't even afford to renew your passport not to talk of traveling abroad, please Japa!

Stop this abeg.

Everybody won't succeed abroad, same way everyone won't do well here in Nigeria.

Different strokes.

You are demonizing abroad as if your nation is any better, or everyone lives better lives here than those abroad.

Good luck in your quest. Experience is the best teacher. Nothing humbles a man like learning the hard way

Hmmm even though I disagree with some of your points, this is a good read. Thumbs up to the OP.

If anyone feels leaving Nigeria is the best bet for them, let them leave given the opportunity.

As for me, despite the fact that the opportunity isn't here yet, I don't think I want to leave my country when it eventually comes.

My youngest brother who resides in the UK was complaining to me the other day that aside the economic advantage the UK has over Nigeria, that Nigeria is better than the UK in a lot of ways, he misses Nigeria so much.

OK Sir/Ma

vacanci:


oya na, please can you name one Nigerian in diaspora who is a billionaire on Forbes list? abeg i want to know too since u disagree with that

Tell us one Nigerian in US and Canada that can't afford ordinary 3 square meal like we have them littered in Nigeria?

If Nigeria is not save then u should have died for long but u are still alive..

For nepa u buy unit then when no light ur unit remains ..

What the OP was actually emphasing is that Japa doesn't determine riches and financial free instead u can still achieve those things in Nigeria ..



So he is right 👍

madone:
So I beg to disagree with all your points

-The only one that came close to reality is racism. But in Nigeria we have tribalism and Nepotism.

-brother Nigerian youths work abroad pay tax and have value for their money. What is the essence of spending money to buy light unit bit you never get light.
What is the meaning of recharging your TV subscription but never get to see light to watch the programs on it till its expires

-What is the use of paying Tax and your government cant show you what the tax is used for or do you think we don't pay tax in Nigeria? Well let me tell u some of us do.

-Who told you Nigeria is is safe. In Nigeria there many ways to die in a day.
I from bokoharam, to herdsmen, kidnappers, ritualistic, hit and run drivers., palmpay, sharkloan
JAPA has helped many families so never call people who japa cowards it's simply means you don't know the meaning of the word coward

God bless you

Who tells you we're going to stay put abroad?

IF NIGERIA is truly better at raising kids, who is then responsible for these Adults and Kids conducting widespread Jungle Justice across Nigeria.

No day passes without hearing cases similar to that of Deborah, even in higher institutions.
Just at the mere screaming of Thief, humans in Nigeria roll out Tyres, petrols and their phones.
Who own those Kids and Adults.?
Are they also part of the well nurtured kids.

Are our politicians well raised?
Are our Clergymen well raised?
Who is truly well raised in Nigeria?

Sometimes you Guys come up with baseless facts in the midst of ravaging fire.

Lovemeharder:
The pros and cons of Japa
As for me, I feel it doesn't favor everybody, some will definitely make it there while some will not. It's a 50/50 thing.

You should worry more that your benefactor has the deadly socialist, communist ideology.

My bro you exaggerated all these claims.

I live in a place where I have average of 15 to 22 hours electricity and I know lots of people who live in places with 247 electricity. It snot that bad again things have improved in some places . With time we will get there

It's foolish to be subscribing dstv when you live in a place without stable electricity... Blame yourself .

Government is not accountable for tax revenues so the next thing is for citizens to leave the country in droves..... look for another excuse

Tribalism is worse than racism. Your own colour hating on you because of tribe.

"More insecurity abroad" . STFU🤡

Can't leave my farming business and jakpa from naija, I'll pave way for my children to jakpa and can only visit and come back to naija.

Helgreenluv:

Good luck in your quest. Experience is the best teacher. Nothing humbles a man like learning the hard way

Oga, there is nothing to humble a man abroad that hasn't been humbling men here in Naija.

Let's stop lying and deceiving ourselves.

I am neither in support of Japa nor against it.

I simply dislike lies.

If with all the subsidy and low taxation in Nigeria, we have over 70% of the population living in abject poverty, just imagine if we adopted the tax policy abroad in addition to total subsidy removal.

Please kindly answer the question he asked you first before throwing yours. As per the question you asked, do you mean say that you paid millions to go US/Canada just so you can afford three square meals?

The millions you paid to Japa, those who have that same millions in their accounts in Nigeria can't afford three square meals?

Tell that to millions of unemployed graduates roaming the streets of Nigeria daily

Stay in Nigeria and enjoy the government you voted for.

1.) It's More Easier To Be A Dollar Millionaire/Billionaire In Nigeria:

It depends, in Nigeria it's easy to make money off relationships and networking with the right people, while overseas, you'd have to be skilled, hardworking or be creative enough to be in a space that allows you to thrive. I run an agency, and because of being in the EU, I can network with founders easily outside Nigerian than being in Nigeria, because of the country's reputation.

2.) African Communal Living:

I agree about this, Nigeria has a more communal and supportive environment, Westerners are myself and I

3.) There Is More Insecurity Abroad:

It's relative, Malta is safer than Nigeria, and Nigeria is safer than America, it depends on gun policies and the environment

4.) Easy Access To Natural Foods:

Natural food is true, but as for it being affordable, that will depend on the state, food in Lagos is very expensive, Food in the EU is very cheap, and there are farmers who grow produce to meet up demands for natural food.

5.) Favourable Weather Condition Throughout The Year:

Agreed

6.) No Racism:

But we have Tribalism which doesn't even make sense seeing that we are the same Nigerians

7.) Nigeria Better On Raising Cultured Kids:

I agree on this,

8.) Nigeria Better On Entertainment And Fun Activities:

Nope, I can travel to 26 countries in the EU at a fraction cost, there's activities here that are affordable compared to Nigeria especially lagos, things are far cheaper here, if you earn in dollars

9.) No Weird Or Crazy New Culture:

I agree on this one

10.) Cost Of Living Is Cheaper:

It's mixed, if you earn in Naira and convert rent to an inflated currency, everything will look expensive, I pay EUR 450 for a studio apartment that came furnished, it's not fancy to my apartment in Lagos, but I've seen 650 E - 1000E apartment here in the EU that come furnished, so if you earn 3000E rent and food will be very affordable, here I only pay rent $450, light bills 20 EUR (every 2 months), 16 E for bus pass that can take me anywhere within my district, you can leave an easy life. My rent in Nigerian was 2.25m, 20k every 2 weeks for light and 70k for monthly food (cooking)

11.) No Rat Race Or Extreme Taxation In Nigeria:

This is subjective, I agree but for someone like me, I do freelance, my own business and working for a company, you can as well easily save money to set something back home, there's nothing stopping you from having the best of both worlds, I think Nigerians are the special group of people that enjoy having somewhere to go back to and build.


This is my opinion, and my answers is based on my experience in the EU, obviously someone in Canada might face a more expensive cost of living and taxes..

MajorOvakporaye:
This is a very stupid and shallow post. OP, you cannot deceive us. You can only deceive gullible online idiots. We know people like you are APC online miscreants positioned on different social media platforms to deceive the youths. Neither you or your paymasters can stop the brain drain

Japa and learn hard way if u think d grass is greener over there ..

Ask urself how many japarians have made billions like Otedola Wizkid Dangote I am waiting

Mrdecent:
You sat down in a village typing stuff...

You have not spend a night with kidnappers before and you don't have any serious health challenges, if not, your orientation will change about japa.

Mr man, It is very dangerous to stay in Nigeria.
It is a very big risk.

So how many time kidnappers don catch u 🤔

And from birth till now how many of ur families they have kidnapped 🤔

The funniest thing is, this particular person is giving the kind advice from abroad..as for me,I go Mia

You're correct but we go still go

Sounds like government propaganda. As for no racism, thats not true, cause all of Africa is run from Europe by racists, that is why africans are some of the most hardworking and intelligent people in the world , yet Africa is the most backward place on earth.

In Africa the whole nation feels the racism, as the nazis who run Africa from europe try to make the citizens believe hyper inflation, kidnapping, banditry, and civil servant terrorists are normal things that should only happen where africans live.

I certainly will not advice anybody middle class and above to leave Nigeria for a part of the world where they call you names like nigger and shit skin, cause you will find to your horror that they mean it, cause everyone of them from teacher to student manager and all will try to kill your career and end your life directly or indirectly

What the Europeans means when they say black people, are bad shit skin people who are not supposed to exist. They run Nigeria where you can get your racism collectively or you can japa to get your racism on an individual level.

If you middle class and above, think twice before trying to start a new life in the nation of those who hate Africans to hell and back.

It will be very difficult to be rich abroad esp. Canada & UK. Am not sure of others. They have already programmed the system to tax back almost half of your earning . . No matter your endeavours.

But you will be able to afford a better standard of living than Nigeria.

Being a graduate doesn't guarantee anyone a job,i think most Nigerian undergraduates should know this by now. Get a skill early enough
