well said. But we must not all put our burden on the government. The I must go to the university syndrome has ruined many lives including me speaking. Handwork is the way to go home and abroad. I mean skills! But due to pride and competition amongst peer groups including envy and jealousy has reduce everyone to be dependent on govt. related jobs after graduation.

Self independence pays home and abroad equally.

Africa has damn untold privileges that are priceless.

Beat traffic abroad, one will be made to pay a fine that will make you to park the car for good. Another tinge of example!

Absolutely... Personally, I have never been able to fully grasp the lure or hype about abroad.

As adults, restarting in another nation where you don't have roots makes no sense.

For a lot of japarians, it's just the fear of missing out and the uncertainty around Nigeria's future that fuel their relocation.

Whether we are industrious or interested in informal work, poor leadership still goes a long way... Look at the state of insecurity for instance.

If we solved insecurity alone today, japa rate would reduce massively.


Like I said earlier, Japa is not the consideration of underprivileged Nigerians... It's only the well educated with the financial backing that actually consider it.

Everything begins and ends with "girls" for some of you shallow guys.

Who told you many guys didn't own those just for the sole pleasure of enjoying good music?!!

Dirty and classless people Nigerians call celebrities...!

rent for half of a one room abroad monthly is the price for a 2 bedroom flat yearly in africa is that contentment? Paying fo 24 hours electricity in a place where you barely stay at home how does that make sense?. Isn’t that a waste?. Organic foods abroad, natural foods in Africa, compare that! Abroad you work till you die, Africa you work when you decide to as long as you barely pay pressing bills. Isn’t that a blessing? You can’t loose a job abroad for one month straight, the person will sleep in the bridges under intense weather conditions but in Africa many are jobless but still yet have “roofs” over their heads. They shuttle as they like. Too many to talk about. God is great, no standard of life is useless totally. Tis why I said contentment is the wealth of nature. People in Africa, has priceless privileges.

If you’re sick abroad, you must go to hospital be it you have money or not but in Africa the herbs are there…

Think deeply…

Great points...However, what you stated clearly underscores why there is a welfare state in Nigeria and a clearly unsustainable trajectory for the leaders and citizens.

1. A country where people can afford necessities even without jobs is either a wealthy nation subsidising for her citizens or a poor nation taking loans to mask realities.
We both know where Nigeria belongs.

2. If Tinubu has the boldness and unfailing ruthlessness to push this nation out of stagnacy and daydreaming, depression and suicide will skyrocket... Poverty will be off the roof.

3. Read up the meaning of "Black Tax", and understand why many are not truly living in Nigeria... A lot of people are just one bereavement away from becoming homeless and beggars.
Living at the mercy and generosity of families, friends and even strangers is not the way to live as individuals and as a people.

4. Where are the jobs in Nigeria?!! Who is creating them?!! What industries and investments are springing up?!! The last time we had major investments was under Jonathan... Most of them have even shut down and left.

If nothing drastic is done in this nation in terms of the economy, things might get perilous.

Now, the above might not apply to you if you are lucky to be gainfully employed (the numbers are shrinking by the day)... But don't kid yourself! Your standard of living shrinks with each spike in living cost as we have been experiencing for years now.


Some of the people doing japa have looked into the nation's future and the uncertainty they saw made them decide to take a chance.

Shikena:
Absolutely.

Just reading very funny clueless comments here. Most of these guys can't even afford the japa to a decent place and those that could are not mentally strong enough for the first few years of settling down abroad. Then we have those that are truly well established sustainaby in Nigeria, they can even live in a remote village and create real comfort there, so japa is irrelevant.

Even within Nigeria, we have those in the villages who got better opportunities to leave for Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt etc but will come up with a thousand and one excuses to stay within their comfort zone and later in life have their children cursing them out or detest them for being too laid back. This is very common

Sir, it's the stupidity of too much privilege, in my opinion.

Why destroy a firm and solid foundation to chase phantoms?!!

Not against trying for dual citizenship, but at the very least, they should have a fall back option or backup plan, not burning bridges in Nigeria thinking there's a promised land abroad.

Annahh:
You see some people that are very comfortable here, with high paying job leave everything, sell all their properties just to go over there with no certain assurance that they will make the money back. If you talk now, they will say they are doing it for their children and 100th generations to have a better life.

Somebody somewhere is selling them lies, and they are too gullible and stupid to know better.

There us absolutely nothing wrong in dual citizenship, but not at the expense of one's roots.

shankara7:
It sounds funny how you guys feel traveling abroad is an achievement.. And what makes you feel those in Nigeria are those that can't afford to travel?

You are the one saying that... I never even implied it.

Maybe it's your insecurity.

I stated facts... Maybe do some research.

Is it the over 80% of Nigerians struggling to feed that can Japa?!!

Why not check the number of Nigerian adults with passports first.

People wey never get passport na them wan relocate?!


Let me say it again... Abike Dabiri needs a proper job!

Hammering and focusing on less than 20% of our population relocating or planning to relocate while majority living here are struggling to survive makes no sense.

Please, try to stay on topic.

Blazetrailer:
Has anyone bothered to ask her where her own children are?

If she answers thag honestly, then you can listen to her

Leave these people.

All their kids and families have secured foreign passports.

It's an Animal Farm in this 3rd world country.

armadeo:
I don't believe this story. Unless she knew and she's pretending

Yeah. While the story might be true or made up, it remains a fact that a lot of Nigerians actually sell off everything and give up great jobs here to go abroad to start hustling all over.

I have met a lot of them tbh.

Some get lucky and break into the corporate world over there or change careers successfully.

However, many are never that lucky. Some get stuck in multiple minimum wage jobs for years till they make it or die in depression.

Badca81:
Propaganda news . If I see free ticket I no go think twice

Think twice o.

Anything other than Professional access or needs, just forget it... It will be suffer promax, especially Student route.

helinues:
Toh

Hidden truth that reasonable number of people are not aware of

There is nothing hidden about these things tbh...!

1. Many Nigerians can never afford to Japa. Only a tiny percentage of the highly privileged among us can afford it.

2. Those who end up in problems are the ones who relocate without due diligence... Those who are clearly not needed professionally in those nations.

3. Talking about depressed Nigerians abroad when far more are depressed in Nigeria is weird and amusing... Our suicide rate in Nigeria has been steadily climbing for close to a decade now.

4. Finally, the undue focus on people leaving the nation when less is being done to support and develop the many more unable to leave, through proper leadership, simply borders on misplaced priorities.


Mummy Abike is singing a tired and boring song.

Are we back to this Anti-Japa matter...!

This one no really concern over 80% of Nigerians living in Nigeria, ma.

Majority of Nigerians can't afford to even Japa to neighboring African nations.

So, why the constant focus on the select few who chose to relocate?!!

Are the majority left in Nigeria not depressed and suffering too?!!



You Nigerian leaders and followers just enjoy distracting yourselves from the realities facing you guys in Naija.

Cmanforall:
Wait for summer signings

ETH did same with his boys from Ajax/ Netherlands

ETH wasted a Good privilege...!

There will likely be few to no signings come summer.

You don't have the funds to splash anymore... Except you can sell good players for good amount.

The only players you can cash out on at the moment are Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo... And they are supposed to be the main future stars and hope of that club.


So, things are about to actually get more interesting for Man United.

Academy remains your only solution in Preseason.

Okay... So?!! What exactly do we do with this information?!!

How does this even edify the body of Christ?!!

That cleaner work fit her...!

Let a more sensible and intelligent person take her place in Africa.

Nothing personal, but I don't rate the intelligence of anyone selling off properties just to move abroad when you don't have the required certification and career assurances to succeed there.

These days, it's worse and dumber than playing BetNaija with borrowed money.

Congrats to her...!

Next news please.

Not a big deal.

Hospitals never finish for Naija!

We need to quit trying to game the system... If you desire American citizenship for your child or children, migrate the right way or allow them grow up and migrate properly.

You are not better than those birthing and raising their kids in Nigeria and Africa.


Every nation reserves the right to sanitize its immigration system.

EnterpriseMan:
Nah, We would rather eat a grenade than see arsenal become successful. Why do you think arsenal can't win and never will win a trophy Do you know the number of Manchester United fans stepping on them

Why na?!!!!

Heaven's first real introduction had to be against his former club...!

Interesting.

Lol... Oga, every Nigerian with a functioning brain has been wondering what on Earth you are doing in that office.

What quality of leadership have you brought to that parliament as a Senate president?!!

Una think say occupying office na the beginning and end of leadership.

EnterpriseMan:
We're already secured from relegation. The next task is to make sure we drag arsenal down with us. I have always said it, they will never win the league before we do

Erm... Then your season is over.

Better leave Arsenal alone to bottle their league the way they like.

You should be more focused on working harder to finish 10th position next season.

EnterpriseMan:
You're looking for trouble now abi United are powering through to the top 4

Top 4?!! You mean next 2 seasons!

The goals this season is to escape RELEGATION.

baralatie:
What is the current scoreline🤔🤔🤔

Doesn't matter... Arsenal will level up and likely win in the second half.

Liverpool must not stroll to that title.

Iweakbro:
Ur papa will be out on Thursday.

Yeah... My dear Old papa will be out for a walk on Thursday. He does that everyday sir.

What about your dad?!! Hope he is good?!!

See ehn... Whatever doubts I ever had about Akpabio being guilty of what Natasha accused him of, this has cleared them off.

Nigga is guilty is fvck.

Cos, wetin be all this wan?!!

Why spend so much money paying women for this show of shame?!!

Bukola94:
Throwing the game, UTD still won't qualify for UCL if the game is thrown

You are correct... This is not a game Arsenal can afford to draw, not to speak of losing.

They have more at stake here than Man United.

United is more or less secure from relegation... They might even be out of Europa by Thursday.

Bukola94:
Arsenal to win 2 1 or Man U to win 2 1 , no bias. But if UTD no score any goal in the first half, Arsenal may won by 2goals to nil or 3 0. Man UTD better take their chances and hope the officiating favour them. Else Arsenal may do them PSV if they dull or slack

Doesn't matter if they score first...! They can't beat Arsenal, except Arteta and his team feel like throwing the game.

Touts employed and empowered to weed out touts...! Funny.

Amorim sef... If you start Chido Obi-Martins, will you die?!!

Benching your 2 strikers and pushing Bruno out of position doesn't seem smart at all.

Adesanmi200:
Manchester United to win

Lol... How?!! Even with 10 men, Arsenal can't lose to this Amorim's team.

A draw will be quite the result for the home team.

Leicester is not worthy of the EPL...!

The number of losses is shocking and staggering.

Price rarely comes down in Naija...!
