An Open Letter To Nigerian Japa Aspirants by Childofthelord(f): 3:16pm On Sep 01, 2022
Dear Japa aspirants,

You need to develop research skills, learn to access first-hand information and stop crying about knowledge hoarding. Look, data is cheap, almost everyone has access to an electronic device, and everything is online. Google and Youtube are the best free databases on the internet. Learn how to use them to your advantage.

The truth is, you will always feel/be at a disadvantage when you subject the extent of your success to word-of-mouth tips and advice. Sometimes I wonder what information people are “hoarding”, that is not available on the internet. That is why you are getting scammed, cheated and lied to because you lack the discretion /interest to verify and research information on your own.

Matter of fact, immigration guidelines change quite frequently. Those who have Japa-ed already are hardly checking up on the new pathways to PR or the cheapest universities for international students, you should be the one doing that! Your immigration consultants and agents all get their updates from official government websites that are readily available to everyone. Develop your research skills! It will help you a long way, be conversant with official sources, government websites and the likes, and double-check the tidbits you hear. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek advice or tips from someone that has been there and done that, but that should not be the entirety.

Lastly, nobody is hoarding any information! Every information you will need to immigrate to any part of the country is readily on the internet. If you have questions about a certain program in a particular university, go to their website, there are emails, and phone numbers that you can call. Learn the process and be persistent! Stop waiting for ready-made information! Stop waiting for someone to do their due diligence and then spoon-feed you. You will continue to be disadvantaged and left behind if you do not know how to get first-hand information.

By the way, you shouldn't halt your immigration plans simply because Nigerians in the diaspora are discouraging you. Go and verify!

Yours in flight,

Obi will not perform any magic. Nigeria don spoil close to the point of no redemption and democracy can not solve our problem. I repeat, our present democratic system will not and can not solve our problem.

Obi at best is a fine bandage on a deep wound, it looks fine from outside but the cut is still there. Only a surgeon can operate on that wound. Obi is a first-aid specialist, the political system is the surgeon, and sadly, democracy is not it.
