What's your definition of make it...?

Gone are those days when people travel abroad and in no time, they will start sending money and building houses...

Living in a society where you have all the basic amenities, but about 75% of your money go for bills...when comparing, compare the 25% with what people earn in Nigeria...in business, it is called take home...

Someone who earns 2000 dollars every month abroad and pays bills of 75% is equal to someone who earns N500, 000 in Nigeria... because if that person removes the 75%, he will be left with $500 as take home.

Before you argue with me, rent in abroad is paid on monthly basis and it can be between $750 to $2000 for most of our Japa brethren

You are not being objective.

Don't demonize something without proper facts and balance.

The only reason many of you people think this Nigerian existence is better than abroad is strictly because of subsidy and poor taxation practices, which are the main reasons this nation has retrogressed so badly since Independence coupled with Corruption of course.

If Nigeria were a model nation, you would pay more taxes, and have less to brag about.

Imagine a country were even the wealthy evade taxes and cheat on revenue... How can that nation grow?!! Does Nigeria look like a normal country to you?!! Do average Nigerians look like people living normal lives?!!

Is it even normal for people to live and work daily with epileptic power supply, insecurity, poor healthcare, etc?!!

The problem with many of you is that you worship Money so much that you forget that there is something called decent and healthy communal living.

See... It makes more sense to contribute even half of your monthly income to ensuring ideal standard of living than padding up your savings account while you live like derelicts in a society rotting away due to infrastructural and economic decline.

LeoDeKing:
I just don't seem to like this japa back and forth nonsense. Why should I discourage people from travelling to wherever they think is comfortable for them?

Abeg, anybody wey want japa, make una no relent, forget all these nonsense of "why you shouldn't japa". What nonsense.

Thank God the NIS is making efforts to make japa very easy.

True... People should leave abeg.

At least, the competition for the nearly unavailable jobs will reduce.

santaclaws:
Not a bad idea to have a contrary opinion on Japa, but your claim that Nigerians youths moving to other countries is an act of cowardice is definitely an unreasonable statement.

You didn't take into account that so many people have been struggling in this country even before the economic issues. A lot don't have jobs in Nigeria despite being graduates and most employed people are underpaid.

If the youths aren't cowards, they should stay over and allow visionless politicians, poverty and hyperinflation ruin their lives? Or betterstill, they should take up arms and challenge the government so that they can die for nothing... 😒

Op is clutching hard at straws...! Leave am.

Op, most of your points are blatant, needless, and laughable LIES!

But, it's okay... I can understand the need to soothe your personal deficiencies.

Personally, I'm neither for nor against migration...!

Whatever reasons people have for leaving their countries, we should respect them. Same way those choosing to stay back should be equally respected.

None should be deemed better than the other... This is why I find both Pro-Japa and Anti-japa posts/threads very STUPID!

No man or woman should be told or unduly influenced about his or her choices... If Nigeria is not working for you, and you know out there will meet your life expectations, then don't hesitate to get out.

On the other hand, if Nigeria affords you the best of life, ignore these Japarians... Stay back, and live your best life.

At the end, whether in Nigeria or abroad, happiness is the same.

Wahala for Ebuka who enter 5k bus come lagos and to go back now,moto don turn to 70k.
Merry chrismas oo.

It always has to come down to Igbo Vs Yoruba!

That's why Poverty continues to romance most of you Bigots.

Look at Elumelu and Davido flexing together... Dangote and other Billionaires across tribes are doing well together.

Even Tinubu and Peter Obi can never be enemies... They celebrate together in big events which none of you nitwits will ever come near.

MC Oluomo's top business associates are Igbo people...!

Make una try get sense come 2024!

Honestly, this is just common sense.

Well said, Air Peace! Well said.

besayag:
Average Nigerians will be like God dey why d politicians will b laughing eating fat n going to front of church to sit down

It serves the average Nigerians right... Most of them defend and abuse others on behalf of those same useless Politicians.

Most Nigerians deserve to really suffer. No cap.

There is no universal law that states Christmas (which is not truly a Biblical or Godly celebration) must be celebrated by indulging in widespread animal cruelty.

Beef and Fish are equally suitable.

Vegetarians still have fun-filled celebrations.

marlow1962:
Can never happen in Nigeria.
In 2023 (now entering 2024), Africans are yet to test 1% of civilization and that's a very big shame.

What exactly is civilized about opulent decorations?!!

Should that be a priority for Nigeria and other 3rd world nations?!!...

You want state governors and leaders to do such, and claim to have spent Billions of Naira from scarce resources, to prove what exactly?!!

Babathanks:
You're right ooo. Here in my area at Abuja. Most of Igbos landlord don't give there house to rent to we Yorubas. But you see places like gwarimpa, asokoro, maitama. They don't care about that because they are all rich people. Nothing like discriminations there

Bigotry, religious extremism and fanatism can only be found among poor, wretched and stupid citizens of most 3rd world nations like Nigeria.


That's why Poverty is a disease that must be stamped out or avoided by any sensible young man or woman.

Tenplet:
abeg I detest this mentality, me I must get

You are not everybody... So, go for it.

It's not a mentality, it is a hard cold FACT!

Everyone has never been rich, and everyone can NEVER be rich.

That's the nature of this world.

EmperorCaesar:
This isn't supposed to be an achievement

Who cares if they can afford flight ticket or not

The question is, what are they doing to make SE the most economically viable region

No be to dey run comot for house dey come at night con dey braggado for village people

Don't tell me u are celebrating this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is unnecessary... How many of the Millions of indigenous Igbo people migrate out of the Southeast?!!!

Despite their nascent challenges, the SouthEast is trying in terms of local industry.

We should push for better leadership across this nation especially in the area of national security... This will make local industrialization grow faster.

Those guys really trooped in...!

Air Peace to the Southeast was literally booked out.

Thank God for the Second Niger Bridge that was reopened...! Traffic for massacre people traveling to that region.

Dem suppose dey put some serious respect to Buhari for that project.

Religion extremism is for the poor and wretched...!

Mohammed Sallah, and others in his elite class are exempt from any ridiculous and divisive Islamic law.

Save your breath Sir.

Most Nigerians just like showing off, and living beyond their means.

Many of them go owe pass their country by January.

robosky02:
Mourinho is the master
He will provoke you to unsettle you and your team

At the end his team won

It really had nothing much to do with Mourinho...!

Napoli players were just frustrated by Roma...

Mourinho's teams are difficult to play and even an eyesore to watch... He sha gets his results one way or the other. The Special One no send anyone papa!

Napoli never talk wetin dey worry them this season...!

You go fear excuse na...!

If not corrupt politics, why has Quilox not been permanently shut down?!!

Those guys literally get closed down temporarily every month.

How many more strikes before they get put down permanently?!! SMH.

Proudlyngwa:
Hopeless Chelsea

Useless Ten Haag

Chelsea useless pass Ten Hag abeg...!

The only team I can safely say is worse than Chelsea is Sheffield.

This means out of the 20 teams in the EPL currently, Chelsea is literally keeping pace with the bottom 2 in terms of overall quality.

Chelsea and their Old Trafford brother are a monumental disgrace!

Straight win for Chelsea...! No time!!!

Pakute:
Keep wailing, enemies of good news. You brought an article here yet you lack the mental capacity to read and understand. PH refinery has both old and new which is referred to as phase1 and 2. Rehabilitation has been completed on the 60,000 old refinery as promised while second one with 150,000 capacity would be completed Q4,2024.
You headless mobs always dey look for something wey no lost, your Agulu fraud has lost forever, make una rest.

Calm down brother... It's ready, abi?!!

January no far... Let's see how many liters of petrol will be produced there.

The evidence or taste of the pudding is in the eating.

Time exposes all things.

It's the season of LIES...!

Well, not their fault sha... False hope is all they have left to sell gullible Nigerians.

The Malls in Nigeria are unreasonably expensive.

This is very unhealthy for small and medium scale business growth.

If they decide to translate this cost into their prices, they will not sell cos most members of the purchasing public don't have the purchasing power.

Racoon:
Continent with extremely rich politically exposed persons but with an incredible and ironically large swathe of downtrodden populace living in abject poverty

A pitiable and unspeakable irony!

So, in summary...

You all lied, as usual, when you said the refinery will be fully operational by December 2023!

Same way you said Dangote refinery would be churning out products before the end of the year.

fergie001:
It now seems I might likely skip football for the better part of 2024 just like I did in 2023.

I have to focus more on watching skits.

Please, don't do that... My Peacocks are coming back to EPL.

You can't afford to miss the return of good football with them and the Foxes.

fergie001:
Let me hope this is April fool.

No jokes, my Brother...!

That's literally the only available option if United decides to let the Dutchman go before New Year's Day.

LegendHero:
We clearly don’t believe in a South South alliance again.

Most South-South tribes have consistently proven to be hardened Yoruba hater who collude with the Ibos to antagonize Yoruba people. The only exception here are the Itsekiris.

How many Igbos do you know or can you prove hate Yorubas?!! And vice versa.

Last time I checked, there are over 20 Million of either tribes people.

It's such silly and misguided words that almost cost Seun his age long forum, but una never still want get sense.

Sigh... Due respect to Mr. President and his 'son', but is this really necessary?!!

If he is that tolerant of Islam, why not study and pray with them??!

Why must we try so hard to sell Propaganda every time and everywhere?!!

See ehn... The religious tolerance of any top leader or politician is the least of Nigerians' problems right now.

Kyase Ray07 dfrost Oludharay fuckingmallam45 l, please reply


Real Madrid is doing well for now..... And we will get there.

Former club it is then...!

I heard Graham Potter will be taking over by January.

Good times ahead for that Club!!!

fergie001:
Arsenal has to give West Ham extra cash.

Declan Rice is an excellent footballer.

True... Everyone seems to have eyes for good players except your current or former club (whichever applies)!


Last player wey him head correct enter that Old Trafford na Bruno Fernandes... Now, the evil spirit there is beginning to affect the poor guy.

He only plays great football with his national team mates.
