You actually think all the people that are japa'ing really have 15 - 20 million Naira? Newsflash, most people get "creative" when it comes to proof of funds... I am not going to say more than that in order not to cause problems for others who are intending to japa.

Love800:
So developed countries dont subsidised?

helinues:
The places they are running to, they would still need to work their ass off because no free things even in Freetown.

I am not discouraging those who want to Japa oo, but before you Japa, make sure you have degree/certificates that could earn you jobs immediately you arrived at your destination, have skills about things that can fetch you money.

My biggest concern about leaving this country is starting a generation that will never return to their country ever again.

Angelfrost:


Brother, I don’t disagree with you that life abroad is not a bed of roses.

There is a price for living in a developed and flourishing nation... You have to put in the shift, you have to grind!


That's why you count your costs and prepare well before boarding that plane! No one is there waiting to fund your lifestyle.

That doesn't make it bad! Matter of fact, it simply creates more responsible citizens who live within their means.

cococandy:


I know they do that but the actual cost of the process is around that range minus the proof of funds part

OChimex:

US don't value your cert or skill set. But you can get any of these ASAP in the US, if you are legally.
Even Amazon delivery driving job, many would pay up to 5k for your tuition if you want skill or cert. So you work, get paid, chose your time and get a skill or cert. Many company will also employ you as apprentice. Pay you and train you, while you get your licence
But I tell you, there countless job opportunities that can pay you above $100k a year.

RodgersAkpafu:

I'm just saying that selling all your stuff for sturdy visa is ONE way to move
there are many many other ways to move, but our ppl always go for the low hanging fruit

Villa12:
but they still spend some millions getting to their destination despite finding a way around the proof of funds which obviously most average Nigerians cannot afford

RodgersAkpafu:


as someone who used to earn way over ten times minimum wage before moving to the UK, I ha e lived both sides and I'll tell u that quality of life wise, especially as a single person, even 13 times naija minimum wage cannot match £12 quid an hour earner in the UK, especially if you are not living in London

Forget it
being able to buy sharwarma and suya for girls, flexing over the weekend and fooling yourself in shop rite no be quality of life lemme not lie you

Not hearing generators noise alone sef
noise pollution
safety concerns
envious people around you
the list is endless abeg

Mcslize:


No mind them my brother. Me wey dey earn a meager 15 times Nigeria minimum wage monthly, if I no japa, weti I gain. Weti I wan do with 450k in Nigeria?

I will rather stay hungry to save my japa money than follow people wey no get direction dey shout Nigeria will be good Nigeria will be good. They should keep deceiving themselves. Some will even tell you not to japa if you are making 450k monthly.

I am still broke with that 450k due to Nigeria hardship.

fastseo:


The way Nigerians are shouting Japa Japa Japa and people are selling their stuff they got in years only to come here again struggling to start afresh and mostly stuck after exhausting everything

Even the citizens would have been feeling the heat if not benefit payment they get from government.

Hope you are saving Sha in dollars. Unfortunately 450k in today's Nigeria is nothing. A really terrible situation.

Yes o brother. I have a dorm account. I started saving aggressively lately into my dorm account. Naira has no value at all.

RodgersAkpafu:


What is this one talking about ?

Heck, there are white bus drivers in Suffolk who think they are superior (in their delusion) to Rishi Sunak, somebody who went to Winchester oooo.

but the opportunities available to people who are ready to put in their all here is limitless. You just need to put in the work.
By virtue of my ethnic group in Nigeria (igbo) I am already on that ground alone disqualified to lead Nigeria in the minds of a significant part of the population .
why then should I worry about what a hungry white person thinks about me here when even in my country of origin people are still tribalistic towards me

Suella Braveman, Kevin Badernoch, Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel, Savii Javid, Kwasi Kwarteng and the list goes on and on all got to the pinnacle of the British society despite being minorities

Mo Ibrahim and Strive Masiyiwa are billionaires in pounds in this same UK
what of the many multimillionaire blacks that are just hiding themselves ?
or the many Indian billionaires families here

forget all that talk u are talking

ihavesense:

Lol you are trying to sound reasonable but you are a tribalist.
I am sure that you don’t want to travel because you believe that tinubu will make Nigeria great 😆

mrvitalis:

What the hell are you talking about ... When people without basic knowledge talk u just know

Someone in the UK who earns minimum wage and work 40 hours a week would live a betterore quality life that someone earning 10 timed minimum wage in nigeria

Don't even want to mention US or Austria or Germany

One hour wage can buy food stuff than can feed you for two days

prittyboi:
The fact that I have to train ur children up to the university level and still be taking care of them thereafter is a thing of worry on its own. May God help us in this country.

valentineuwakwe:
One often wonders why our leaders will travel out n see how society is being formed n lived in, yet they return back to NIGERIA and still make things hard for us!

I speak from experience. Last week we had to contribute money to someon who sold everything and got here.
Children no food, house rent etc no de.

This is someone in a managerial position back in Nigeria. He has developed high blood pressure.

The hurrible shift jobs I do, I won't do that in Nigeria. But we have to encourage our self and move on.

Let me break it down to u... Can u stand 12hours cleaning with just 15 minutes break all night. Or all day. That's you won't sit down. Sitting down your supervisor will report as u are unfit for the job. And this job no de come always


See Japa no easy oh

As I de type now I de go shift go work under cold and will do the job. Standing all through under minus degree.

For old men they should consider their age as oyibo no send u

Fearurcreeator:

Na obedient people go like your post ... Una no really get sense ... Travel if you wan travel,who dey hold una

mrvitalis:

Can 100% of minimum wage get you a decent apartment in Nigeria? Can it?
