What if one deranged teengager kills you inside shopping mall in the US? Gun shooting violence dey rampant there too

It is what it is! follow your heart, Japa is not for everyone. Don't go because others are going.

Abi1985:
If you have business thriving in Nigeria, please don't japa. If you are rich, please don't japa. The only exception is to further your education or you have businesses oversea that you are managing or you planning to born your children overseas for citizenship purpose. Please Just come and visit. Enjoy your holiday and come back to Nigeria. I was reading a post on Instagram on someone in Nigeria with thriving business making some serious money and she was thinking of relocating to Canada. Please do yourself a favor and stay home.
Escaping from political enemies or enemies or insecurity doesn't count.

Skyfornia:
It is not all about money..some other things to consider are access to good medical care, safety, conducive environment, standard education for kids..etc

Abi1985:

I left for better economic opportunities , someone doing very well in Naija and is rich does not need to relocate. There is no hypocrisy here at all. Hypocrisy is if I get money for Nigeria and I am telling another rich Nigerian not to Japa. That is the difference

Justpassingby45:


DO YOU HAVE SENSE AT ALL

SIRTee15:


This talk about shame preventing people from returning is bogus and exist only in the head of people saying it.
In my 7 yrs abroad, I'm yet to see any naija who wants to return but shame is preventing him from doing
so.
People are actually returning, lots of them are coming back to set up business, monitor and invest in Nigeria.
The difference is very few relocates permanently. They come and go, and that's the key factor that people like u dont understand.
Nothing like shame anywhere.

What I fail to understand is why OP is still living abroad. Isn't this hypocrisy?

The OP and those that liked his post are not in touch with reality. Newsflash, the people who are Japaing from Nigeria are the well-to-do folks. The ones who are earning 700k and above. Poor people cannot afford to JAPA. Hence why they migrate through Libya or Morocco illegally. Many rich kids don't live in this country. The ones that are living in Nigeria are those who don't have second passports. A lot of the 1% are buying second passports in drones to prepare themselves in case anything happens. Rich people with several businesses are relocating to Ghana and other countries that are not too far from Nigeria.

Many rich people are disillusioned with the state of the economy, insecurity, low patronage from clients and rising cost of doing business.

tensazangetsu20:
But you need money to relocate. The people relocating from Nigeria are mostly the upper middle class folks. How many poor people have the means to japa?

HacheNoire:


It’s not a rare case, very common.

The truth is that, Nigerians abroad don’t tell people back home the truth.

Most never know what they signing up for till they land.

Seriously, you're in no position to tell people what they'd do with their money.

Whobedatte:
So na poor people dey raise 15 m for tuition for UK and US abi

Quintopia:


Don’t mind the mumus. They will learn by force. By the time they spend 7 years doing security work that they’d originally planned to do for 3 months, their eyes will clear.

Meanwhile the friends they left in Naija are making big bucks as big boys in politics and industry.

Leave them. They will learn.

maasoap:

Yes, poor people. Only if you know how they're doing it, you wouldn't be saying this. Many that travelled with student visas around me are young, poor, underemployed. But if there is will, there will be a way

zinaunreal:


Sharap your stinking mouth. How does other people's plan concern you

Which health problem you get self?? Wey you dey shout access to good medical care.

Is not Nigerian doctors dominating the same health sectors of the countries you want to japa to

Opurumiri:


So you've not heard about the gun violence in the USA? Safety my ass

ShenTeh:
People wey dey relocate, you think say na people wey dey earn #50k per month?

Enculer2:
If you have the means, leave Nigeria.

Do not listen to people advising you not to leave.

They either do not have the means or have never lived in a country that works.

They do not know what it is to be a normal citizen in a country that works.

Nigeria is toss.
