THIS STORY IS ACTUALLY FROM A FRIEND, HE SENT IT TO A WHATSAPP PLATFORM WE BELONG TO. I AM SEEKING ADVISE AND ASSISTANCE FOR HIM HERE PLEASE

My childhood friend is based in Texas, USA. He traveled out 12 years ago. Actually I work with government in Nigeria with a salary of 180k per month. It is becoming increasingly tough to take care of family responsibilities so early this year, I started making moves to relocate to US or Canada. But the issues surrounding japa are quite enormous so I reached out to my friend to seek his advise, suggestions and possibly financial loan which I will pay back. He gave me some important reasons why I shouldn't migrate. He spoke about my age, no technical skill, finances, leaving known for unknown and difficulties faced by new comers in America. I didn't agree with these reasons even though he sounded genuine. I left him and started making other moves but eventually realized I still needed him. 8 months later, I spoke with him again, he repeated the same reasons why I shouldn't relocate. I am not 50 yet, I know a 56 year old man who relocated to Canada late last year and today his family members have started faring well here in Nigeria. Infact, his son who is presently rounding off his NYSC will be moving by march next year so what is the fuss about my age? I have made up my mind to stop seeking his support and carry my cross myself. Please my people, can you link me with people or organisations that can offer genuine services towards JAPA on this platform or elsewhere?
Thank you all.

Please distance yourself from such a friend. you don't need any useless skill to make it in abroad


That your friend is your enemy. I'll only advise you as you're making your plans to come to the US just try and learn trailer driving like three months once you get here they'll teach you better for your age it would be the best job for you.

I think if no skills then one must have the money. It is either have the skills or have the money to take you there. Not by asking or assuming other person take the financial responsibility to help you to travel.

Maybe your friend is discouraging you because you are indirectly asking for his financial help.

America for that matter. The land of milk and honey, the place you can go to with only boxers and in 5 years time you will become very very okay.

Please block that fool you called your friend. I don't know about any other country, but if you enter America legally and you are not lazy, you will become a millionaire in Nigeria standard in less than 5 years legally!

I support your friend, after foisting the calamity called Tinubu upon us you want to japa. You are very stupid! angry

You must stay and enjoy the Tinubu you voted for. Even if you find a way to leave the country, they will deport you immediately.

You are calling a closet enemy a friend?

I pity you, bro.

He gets a hard-on from reading about and knowing that he's doing better than you economically and material-wise and all the respect and worship you've been according to him will become a thing of the past.

Most of them hate competition and always revel in the reality of being the ones at the center of all attention.

Even if you are 50 and able to move to the U.S., get serious, work legitimately for the next 5-7 years, and call it a wrap, you will have successfully settled your downlines and created a wonderful retirement plan for yourself with proper planning.

Move, if you can, and with the right plans and connect.

It is good to skill up, but if you ain't got it, you ain't got it and it isn't the beginning and end of life.

There are a ton of zero-skilled jobs where you can make the equivalent of what you currently earn in a month in Nigeria in just a single day..yeah, you heard me right, in a dayyyyy.


You sound like a man that's never left his village. I live in Europe and I can tell you what Nigerians are facing here. You'll face depression for several years unless you were brought in by a close family member that's a citizen with good jobs and established. It's worth the trouble but many people don't want their person to pass through all that
