@OP You are very okay and sound.. that's the simple truth.
It's better to stay in your country where you have privileges than to travel out and be living as second class or third class citizen.

Some left their well-paying office jobs in Nigeria to go and be packing shlt under guise of "care givers" and be washing toilets all in the name of japa.

Most innocent blacks are in jails abroad simply because of their skin colour.. everyone automatically believes that they are guilty including the supposed learned judges and judicial system there.

Too many cons with the japa bullcrap. As they say, experience is the best teacher. It's when they get there that they know wat's up.

I have noticed this trend of the so called "proud to japa" geng opening youtube channels to disturb our peace.. they always have one story or complain to share.

But not as a bad aa having half of your yearly earnings go into tax. A friend earn $78K having $27k go into tax.

i was an auditor in Nigeria lol. Keke men at Ajah pay 3k as at November last when i came to 9ja. He will still pay owner of the keke. Take home for him after fuel 2k to 3k. But ignorant people will say no taxes in Nigeria hahaha

Lamanii22:
I think I’m the only one who doesn’t want to leave Nigeria lol, if everyone is talking about japa in my mind I would be like what are these ones saying 😏… I don’t even include it in my prayer points.


Other countries are fascinating as such but I don’t see myself residing there… I love Nigeria too much.

ednut1:
its human nature to complain. There are rich people with money and connections who still complain in Nigeria. Meanwhile people below them envy them. Stop comparing yourself with Americans. They have never been to isolo general hospital for treatment before

LeoDeKing:
Same here.

I have travelled out of this country for official purposes but the thought of remaining outside Nigeria never occurred to me. And don't think I'm talking about African countries o, I mean Europe and Asia.

I'm used to Nigeria o, things outside Nigeria aren't just okay for me. Religion, food, traditions and the "Everyone for himself" things in Europe don't just appeal to me.

Money? I swear I can't abandon my relations in Nigeria just to go search for money. What exactly will the money be used for at the end of the day? Besides, death can come anytime, even while searching for the money.

Good living? What does that even mean? Ogbeni, you have to pay for all those good facilities directly or indirectly, nothing is free. So I take life easy, infact, very easy.

I'm just okay with my little earning here in Nigeria. At least, I pay my bills comfortably. Life is too short.

kunkelhanspeter:
I have the resources to travel to any country of my choice whenever I want but I keep asking myself what am I going there to do now am 32?
When will I start up my own family?
Send my children one of the best schools in the city or town I am living because I know Nigerians abroad don’t send their kids to best school just normal community school over there . Each time I think of that menh traveling will just weak me. I put visa 2016 after paying 150k to the agent I gave up my friend we did the same is in Turkey now no ne difference sha.

So what should we now do Beg you to change your mind

sonature1:
The only person who should have this senseless thought is someone who is well-establsihed in this country. If not, every young person should be looking for legit ways of leaving this country.

When you have made money, you come back, join politics and be the change you seek. Nigeria is a country where evil, sit-tight politicians don't care about others, especially young people.

I know you’re lying but continue.

Sometimes I wonder what you guys abroad are doing on nairaland. The grass is greener where you are, life is sweet, you are in heaven, earning well, living in the saner clime, what exactly are you doing in nairaland arguing and trying to drive home points about Japa or no Japa. Abi na boredom de worry una?

the Europeans also left their own continent and went to Americans, Australia, Africa, south east asia, india and the likes. Why did not stay in their continent They went on to steal resources, technology, humans( slaves ) etc to build their own civilization. The winter you are talking about self is not all year round. December to February is the winter period in places like Ontario. I went to the beach today. We have poor leadership. And the leaders and elite are hell bent to maintaining the status quo. Are you ready to partake in a revolution

You don't have to display this level of ignorance in the public space. It will do you good to read and understand the education system of the West before making comments as this.

Na boredom dey worry most, if not all of them. Feel pity for them, they’re are emotionally and mentally damaged. The reality of loneliness, even those with family, face over there makes them unnecessarily angry and aggressive against Nigeria. The food they eat there also contribute to their demeanour. Imagine eaten genetically modified foods, for the next 20-30 yrs, what do you think will happen to such a person’s psyche?

Some are on food stamps, welfare and government housing, so they don’t really need to work much to pay bills, as their rent maybe like $33 per month. So they have all the time in the world to still argue about the country they hate so much, instead of focusing on their new found country.
