I'm sure everyone here has a friend or relative that has JAPA in the last two years.

My siblings have all migrated. I'm the only one remaining in Naija. I do not intend to leave the country for some personal reasons at least for now.

At times I feel lonely and unhappy seeing that most of my loved ones have dispersed all over the world. No more going to weddings, house warming, naming, etc. together

Where I work, my closest work pals have all migrated. Even most of my church co-workers and neighbours sef don commot.

As an individual/family, how has it affected you? And how are you rebuilding your local network?

How are you making new quality relationships in the workplace, home, place of worship, etc.?

What are you waiting for? Why haven't you left? Start making plans of leaving Nigeria ain't getting better any soon. I have my IP and some few documentation.

I have so many members in the abroad. And I'm very happy because they pay their tithes and offerings in dollars and Euros.

I see more of my members going to the abroad, I see myself becoming very rich.

This I have seen.

Yeah, he said it all here in this other Thread: that Japa and Yahoo https://www.nairaland.com/7818650/evangelist-ojo-ade-latest-song

No time

U have a very healthy circle.. japaing is not for everybody, the truth is that anywhere u find peace and rest of mind is ur own abroad... Last last na money make everybody wan japa.. As long u r making money in naija just enjoy d little time we all have on earth...

No be everybody fit Japa na. Some have thriving businesses while some have health issues that can't allow them hustle abroad.

I'm in a similar situation as the OP. I was keen on japa few months ago, but unfortunately my plans didn't pan out as I envisaged. Now I am not really keen on the whole japa thingy anymore.

Who go the collect message In Nigeria. He is wise. Las las en fit achieve pass

Laslas, every man must japa.

There's no hope for Nigeria to get better, the future is very bleak. Life is too short to live in a shithole country like Naija where you can be kidnapped and killed despite paying ransom in millions. If things eventually get better, trust me a lot of people will return home, but right now, leave if you have the money. There's nothing wrong with having citizenship of a developed nation.

Ok

Most of my day-one friends have left.
I feel somehow thinking about it sometime, cos most guys around me now are not REAL..
But nothing spoil, 20 children no fit play together for 20 years.

Hmmm... that's how life is structured...na we dey reason am like Japa...the truth is that human being either due to one reason or the order move from one place to another...u just have to start a new relationship either in your working place or in your neighborhood...life goes on

I'm better off financially here but my main reason is apart from my flexible salaried job, I have some side hustle that I can't effectively supervise if I am not in the country. They are physical businesses and I am still growing them.

Hmmm

The little hope I had for this country which made me return back after 2 attempts vanished on May 29th. Good luck to those who still believe in this entity. I know I can survive anywhere but my children sure deserves better and I wouldn't like them to go through what I passed through to be where I am today. I'll keep ya'll in my prayers.

No matter how bad Nigeria is,RN I take the nation of turkey as an example that someday in my days Nigeria would be great again I no dey go anywhere

One man mopol from day one.

Japa is for the sake of your children

Anyone who tells you not to leave Nigeria if you have the opportunity to do so doesn't mean well for you. Nigeria is irredeemable. Living in a place where merit has been thrown away and mediocrity, tribalism and nepotism are the order of the day is not a good place to guarantee progress and peace of mind.

Which message? Sweetie! My colleague went 8 months ago, she's far better than me here. She said, "she can confidently save 500,000 naira after every other expenses".

Erona my course mate, that came out with a 3rd class, his building his second house.

Iya fati's husband that has been there for over 6 years has finished building his hotel business, a house and planning on bringing Iya fati to the state, their son left last year.

My HR just got her IP same with my operations manager.

The examples cited above, who don achieve pass, the siblings & family members are doing better that him here in Nigeria. I used to think Nigeria would be better but now I have had sense by force.

i may be the only one who is not really interested in the Jappa
syndrome. out of 7 of us, only 1 was outside, now 2 don commot,
2 dey process their papers. i m not just interested or even
moved despite pressure from spouse.
dont get me wrong, i ve spent some years in Europe studying, so
abroad life no dey move me again.....

No country is a paradise.

Hardship is everywhere!

it's only dvmb people that doesn't know this.

Don't settle for less and have regrets later

Most are japaing based on economic considerations yet there's more to life than what to eat, drink and rainment to put on
If your destiny is linked to Japa, please do and go fulfill it there
However, if it is Naija, hold ship
It sounds delusional to the mind yet when Naija captivity turns around in the days ahead, you'll cherish this nation & her pali more than gold and every precious resource
Naija as a land is blessed but her leadership as presently constituted are ravenous beasts.

Yes, business accepted but health issues should be the number 1 reason to even leave because our health sector is in a comatose. I saw a hospital in Scotland (hospital be like 5 star hotel). My Uncle was ill (while he was abroad), if you see the way we were praying and fasting, he called and said they have done the operation in less than 96hrs and he would be discharged in 48hrs.

Same case in Nigeria, he probably would have been dead and even if you try the useless HMO we have in this country, the case would have been worse off. Shebi na Teaching Hospital Lift kill Doctor and yet nobody has been brought to book.

A governor wearing over 160m naira watch yet millions can barely feed.

Who friends epp, mk dem gettat. Wen dem done made u will see their tru color

With time you will make new friends, if say e easy, 90% of our youths would have fled the country.
