Beautiful you- you nailed it with your analysis!
Imagine a Medical Doctor takes 8- years or a Consultant -that takes over 12- yrs to become capable,so some Nigerians in their shops or one room office,or living apartments may not understand the gravity of Japa Syndrome now!
The best approach,is for the government ( Federal and States) should devise a means of tackling this menace, from the Global perspectives - not from a lay man point of view!
• A State in Nigeria can even set the ball rolling by given a Wage, Salaries and Allowances, a good Working Environment,Housing,etc - comparable to what is obtainable abroad,as a starting point!

Well some basic rules must be agreed to before unity will work.
1. We are all of different tribes. So nobody should speak his tribe language when we unit. We must all speak English.
2. No tribe mus feel that he is the one superior to other tribes.
3. Anywhere a person is born, that is the person's state of origin.
4. Any tribe can buy land, live and marry in any part of the country.

I'm sure you are in Nigeria

You are part of those that believe

You make money abroad in Pounds and start calculating it in naira ba?

You make the money and spend it in pounds

Even if you life like a pauper and not buy anything I mean anything atall

You can't become a millionaire just because you are earning in pounds

You can starve yourself for 1yr and spend the money by coming back home to become a millionaire

Example could be that you're going for a boxing match, a UFC fight, a golf tournament, a Beyonce concert, a soccer game, a 90th birthday celebration of your grandfather who lives in America.

These events have a date, so that forces them to make a decision on time, and that moves your application to the front.

What is the population of India compared to Nigeria and why are Americans not running to Nigeria the way we are running to their country?

ednut1:
does jamb refund fees paid When i got admission there were about 800k applicants and 150k spaces in university and poly that year. Did they force you to apply for visa

Brendaniel:
150,000 then you can imagine how many Canada has interviewed, Tinubu's involvement in Nigeria's politics was one of the worst things to ever happen to Nigeria

kris:
Why are you so sure that I'm in Nigeria?

What does it take to become a millionaire in Naira? A little over $1,000 right?
Any nanny for the US can become a millionaire in Naira easy.

femi4:
The population won't feel it . What percentage of 200 million is 150k

Qoko:
Was 50,000 granted the visa? Cos my brother and 2 daughters went and returned with their 2022 visa, not every emigrants has the mind to Japastic.

IJEYdiamond:


Ohhh... thank you...

Ade1177:

Exactly keep calculating in naira

Is naira spent in US or UK?

Talking as you make the $1,000

You won't spend for yourself atall in dollars

You'll keep it all and not pay bills in the same dollars

You'll convert the full $1,000 dollars to naira and spend it

GBAM!
Good question for the American Envoy and their Embassies in Nigeria!

kris:
My guy, we are talking about someone wey japa from Nigeria to US and then coming back to Nigeria, or just sending money back home to buy up properties and starting business in Nigeria, in naira.

Yes you can pay your bills and still save. You have to be smart with your money and not get sucked into the system of spending money you don't have.

HeatSeeker:
Nigerian government needs to step in and take action on this. Foreign embassies are making money from applicants and denying them Visa. There should be a refund or rebate policy implemented to stop this exploitation.

Think9ja:


If 10M people comot for Nigeria, how many go remain? Abi you think say we plenty as we de claim? North just get land without people. Abuja crime rate high na because enough space de to escape after a crime, due to lack of commercial activities. E no choke like Lagos. We no plenty as we de claim ooo

kris:
Of course they hope that most people will go and not stay. There was a time that it was not this hard, that was when Nigeria's economy was good and people went and came back.

The embassy even gives visas knowing that some of those will stay. The reason being that they have a quota to meet in letting people into the US, people they know will become citizen in the future. They know the power of diversity, so they want immigrants, they just don't want too many from one country or region. Because that's how balance is maintained. They prefer to get the smartest ones, but they also give some opportunities to people that are not so smart.

was it a student visa?

madridguy:
The interview is just mere formality to chop peoples money. Just standing infront of interview officer like bank teller and customer. I follow person go na the guy dey tell me say everyone dey hear another person questions and answer. Ask few questions and send you

femi4:
That's negligible. Until we have 10% of the population out there, we can start getting worried

BreconHills:
You do you conflate the number of visa aplications/grants to Japa? I got for self, wife and child this year - we've gone out and are back in with no desire to japa whatsoever.

If you dug a little more you would have an idea of the various visa categories including settlement types and that granularity would enable you assess if indeed such large numbers are fleeing to America.
