Blue collar job you should mean plumbers, Electricians, bricklayers and so on. Those guys in UK are one of the highest paid workers. Some earn as much as £25 per hour. Those people that are underrated in our Country

How many white collar jobs do we even have in Nigeria today?!!!

Food for thought.

Things are changing everywhere in the universe.

This one is talking nonsense...!

Whether you marry from the church, mosque, or Ifa shrine, a compatible union of sensible and respectful lovers will thrive and flourish, while a union of incompatible opportunists will suffer and die prematurely.

Deception happens everywhere... Even the Bible warns about wolves in sheep's clothing.

Adakintroy:
Am being emotions how? And you practical. The nerve not to call urself a weakling. How are you practical and am not while you encourage weak endeavour like abandoning your country . what then will you do in time so wars. Just natural human striving like struggle. Some of you already immense in million and invest in visa. Is that not stupid. If you have 1million you already beat the huger mark. The rest is hard work self and control and continue improve. Mental slavery will continue as long as blacks cannot not get pass immediate gratifications. You all will keep acting as slaves to the whites while pretending we are equals.

You see my point?!! Emotional rants borne out of misplaced pseudo-patriotism.

You go dey alright las las... Don't worry.

Stay back and build your country, and allow the 'Slaves' go and help their oppressors build theirs... How hard is that?!! Are they slaving away with your energy and life?!! Why e dey pain you pass the people spending the money to leave or flee?!!

Shebi GSk, Astrazeneca, Sanofi, and many others are also stupid for packing up and leaving the "Giant" of Africa after decades of doing business here?!!

Shebi the numerous indigenous businesses dying off after millions of money invested are also slaves?!!

At the end of the day, after your needless rant and self-righteousness, for everyone leaving at least 5 are staying back... What's stopping the millions staying back from transforming the nation to Utopia?!!

Abeg, let's all drink water and chill... Let those staying back in Nigeria, enjoy and grow their nation (Dem plenty pass the ones leaving)! Let those leaving shut the fvck up and enjoy their abroad lives or return back to their nations rather than creating silly threads.

Me and you nor get issue at all...! Just walk your path in life, and let others choose theirs. Simple.

flokii:
The kind of Job a White Canadian will do in Nigeria for example isn't the kind of job a Black African would be considered for in Canada..

The lady should not stress herself.. the Africans that lack self dignity will continue trooping into Canada to do those dirty jobs.

The thing is our people back home in Nigeria should stop making them feel special or any more human than them.. You go yankee na your business, your cup of tea, don't flaunt it in our faces.

Honestly, you have said it all...!

Those in Nigeria should quit worshipping those based abroad like they are anything special.

Also, those abroad should equally quit making such anti-japa threads... They stink of desperate hypocrisy.

You hustled to get out, then suddenly realized the need to 'warn' others not to come... What rubbish!!!

Adakintroy:
j

Am not demonizing anyone. You are pro yapa that's all. She gave an alternate perspective. If you you are any objective you will tolerate it.


All of you act as if there is nothing good about Nigeria. Yet your basic education you got here. The little money you made you scrape and take outside. But you will present like you don't know why Nigeria is broke. You are all selfish. All of you. Shame on you for pointing solely at leaders. Imagine the drain in capital flight and the talent lost to your slavery mindset. No sense of honest patriotism. Who will teach you this qualities. White have no respect for men with non of this qualities. They call them traitors.

Wrong! You are being emotional, I'm being practical.

I am not pro anything... I'm all for everyone choosing his path and no one criticizing him for it especially in the name of Patriotism.

You think you care more for Nigeria than I do?!! Lol... You would be amazed to know you haven't contributed a quarter of what I have done to make this nation better, but to what end?!!

At the end of the day, it amounts to nothing if we get it wrong in the place of leadership.

For most people to pack up and leave their nation, culture, and pride behind, they have done everything except die of frustration and anger... Many even died horribly while believing in a better Nigeria.

The reality is the reality.

If surviving here is okay for you, go ahead... It doesn't make you better than those who choose to try elsewhere.

You can't compel anyone to be patriotic... Patriotism comes from a place of leadership and hope. These two have left the heart and soul of this nation... You can deny this all you want.

Bottom line... Let those staying back, do so in peace... Let those leaving, be left to their choices.

This upsurge of anti-japa threads should stop... It has stopped making sense for a while now.

You can't end brain drain with propaganda... Only with actual and people oriented leadership.

loswhite:
Whats the story of the now? Is he still a dish washer? The Nigeria of today is it better than 1994? Does it hurt to have dual citizenship? Are his children benefiting from the decision he made? People stay in Nigeria and regret and People travel out of Nigeria and regret...lol make una try rest and let japa be. Every cow thinks the only way to trend is to form expert on japa

Ignore these stupid people jare.

Dem go tire las las.

They are in no position to dictate to accepting nations who should or who shouldn't be allowed in.

They should keep fooling around on YouTube and social media.

With all the numerous anti-japa threads, more people are still relocating down there.

They think people leave solely because of money... Lol!!!

The only way to reduce Japa is for a massively and rapidly transformed Nigeria... Since that's not happening in our generation, Japa is inevitable.

uuzba:
They migrated overseas SPECIFICALLY to get away from people back home.
So why on earth do you think they will ever want those same people back home to come abroad and meet them again?

Depends on the kinds of people and the foreign nations in question.

Nations like Australia and Canada are not where moronic nitwits and lowlifes easily get into.

Most Nigerians just have selfish mindsets... We just like to shine alone even in galaxies that can accommodate Billions.

Unfortunately for them, they have no direct control or influence on Immigration processes. So, they are left with playing mind games by churning out unsolicited and false narratives on social media and YouTube.

Blaze14k:
Baba said we should hide these kinda news for us to get investors. So basically investment is more important than human lives

You will never read such atrocities on NTA International, Silverbird or others.

They think they are fooling anyone out there.

Was it a mistake that Giants like Facebook, Amazon, Google and other tech companies bypassed the largest nation in Africa with the biggest users to smaller African nations?!!

They should keep roaming the universe claiming to be courting investments instead of putting their nation in order.

Depriest2020:
They all don't have issues with Fulani herdsmen killing Nigerians in their farms daily, but they have issues with Israel killing terrorist Hamas. They would have preferred Israel to be like Nigerians being massacred everyday but do nothing other than weep in sorry, mourn their dead, bury them, move on and wait for their own turn to be killed too.

Don't mind these imbeciles...! Very stupid Negroes.

This is not news anymore...!

Nigerians will read, and move on like only goats were slaughtered.

Some will even take offense at the news for trying to paint a peaceful nation bad... Others will talk some other rubbish about making the current leaders look bad.

CoronaVirusPro:
Because you are stuck with Nairaland.

Join Quora and you will learn from an international perspective.

You and whom are stuck with Nairaland?!!

Do you understand the meaning of "Largely"?!!

Dude, most nations discourage their citizens from leaving, especially when they are unprepared, but Africans take the cake... We literally look for every possible avenue to push people back from joining us abroad.

Some are actually obsessed with limiting their fellow citizens or blocking them from migrating...!

Adakintroy:
Shame on you all for shaming her. She is giving you all a different perspective the perspective of indignation


Many of you may be yapping now. But when you leave your banking job of little respect and start washing toilet and no one even bait a lead at your presence or acknowledge you existance. Your little money can't get you a woman. You will start feeling like a villager in lagos for the first time.

Poverty is always a relative concept. Many of you are doing OK in Nigeria. You never just unlock your mind enough.

Enough of this abeg... It's stale.

Everyone should choose his path in life.

If someone decides he can't do better while in Nigeria, let him leave...! People have left and succeeded abroad.

People also stay back and thrive in Nigeria, while others stay back and retrogress. Life is personal.

This consistent demonization of immigration is selfish and stupid.

Y'all should put that energy into compelling change for the better in your nation...!

Besides, over 95% of your elected leaders all reside abroad. So, why discourage your fellow citizens?!!

Let's give this anti-japa movement a rest! It's beyond irritating.

These anti-japa videos sound more stupid everyday.

How come it's largely Africans that do these?!!

I hardly see Asians, Indians, Middle Easterners discouraging their people from coming to join them.

What is it about you Negroes that makes you hate seeing your brothers and sisters succeed in the same space as you have done?!!

This is just witchcraft!

yongg:
What's crazy is that when Falz mentioned this on CNN a few years back I think around the protest period, that was true, even moreso just last week when we were seeing antibiotics quoted 4-8X their initial prices the week prior.


We looking at ...

Unaffordable education
Unaffordable transportation (that is considering periodic earnings)
Unaffordable feeding

And now medical care is looking even more unaffordable.

It has gone beyond Prophetic... It is an obvious reality only the brain-dead will deny.

Things are going to really get worse.

1TrippleCee:
And the young ones are not seeing they are approaching 30s and 40s, with almost nothing to show than a ruined existence

They can't see at all... They are blinded and brainwashed by hate and bigotry.

The nation really has no future. All the elected leaders and politicians know and accept this. That's why they all come in to steal and secure their own lives abroad.

1TrippleCee:
Chai. And we dont have societal support groups that can make visits to cemetries, mortuarys, hospitals to create documentaries so we see how Nigerians are affected with great clarity


And to think that this government i popular with so many .


If we are normal, i do not see why Buhari should be walking freely. Loaned a whooping $50 Billion and no one can trace the funds to wherever it is and Nigerians are looking like zombies

That's what Divide and Rule (Divide and Conquer actually) can achieve in a nation.

Once a section open their mouths to criticize, another section jumps in to defend them.

That's what happened during EndSars.

Same thing every election year.

A divided nation can never progress! Never!!!

jaxxy:
without DNA test? is that how they claim pregnancy?

Well, the solemnization (not wedding) will still have to halted.

I say this because, once the couple have done traditional and court wedding, they are already husband and wife.

Church weddings are largely ceremonial.

If you want to halt a union, ensure to start at the venue of the traditional and court proceedings.

DNA test is not enough to halt a wedding sef... At best, you get paternal support for the child.

I'm not quite sure pregnancy is enough grounds to force marriage upon an unwilling partner, even by law.

This is why I keep telling ladies to shine their eyes and insist on protection and contraception when fornicating upandan.

Sigh... Serves both of them right.

Honestly, it serves all of them in that church right!

I can't believe women are still trying to trap and compel men into marriage with pregnancies, in this day and age!!! SMH!

1TrippleCee:
Not even at risk. Go to hospitals, people can't cater for their health and well being. I have seen tons of people died money-related deprivation deaths. It is higher in Nigeria than anywhere else in the world. People die from lack of 500k to manage health

Hmmm... 500k is quite high sef.

How many Nigerians can even make a compulsory down payment of 100k for basic Appendectomy?!!

The poor will die off!

Maybe that is the global agenda APC and Tinubu are working with.

1TrippleCee:
70% is an overinflated Sir. Atleast 85% of Nigerians are one serious sickness away from total poverty and death

An average Nigerian is at greater risk of dying from mild sickness due to inflation.

This is one of the worst and bizarre stats across the universe... Only war-torn nations have such a situation.

As poor and globally unacceptable as the healthcare facilities are in this country, many citizens still can't afford them currently.

In simple terms...

Nigeria has horribly deteriorated under APC.

Padipadi:
Soon, FG ll ban japa. Cos all good things don komot Nigerians na scrap remain!
But do I blame Japanians? No!
Cos everyone want better life. Na scrap life people dey live for Nigeria.

Soon?!! Lol!

Over 95% of those in the last administration, from President down to Senators are currently based abroad with their entire lineages.

Most of your current officeholders are mere visitors here... They have their homes, families and futures secured abroad.

That's why the future of this nation is not their problem. It doesn't really bother them.

Yep... They should leave for a better life and future for themselves and their lineages.

Teeklef:
Smile!!! See as you package English take hype David. King David is not corrupt but fall into a sin. Not once o,not twice sef. Someone committed murder,fornication and others,you said he do fall into sin and repent😂. Bro,either enthroned,elected or specially chosen,without God in support,Tinubu cannot be president no matter how rich and powerful he is.
Thanks also.

Okay Boss... I understand and respect your perspective. Thanks.

Teeklef:
What I am trying to say is that,our God still remain the same. The same God that was there when David was enthroned as king,is that same God that is still there when Tinubu became the president. David was corrupt and according to we Nigerians,Tinubu is a criminal and corrupt also. So the narrative is the same. Without God,Tinubu will never be president,even if he his richer,powerful and more influencial that Elon musk and Joe Biden.

What you wrote in bold above tells me either of 2 things:

You don't read and comprehend your Bible that well
...Or you are being mischievous by twisting scripture to suit your logical position

That's wrong on all counts.


King David wasn't elected or merely enthroned as King... He was directly and specifically chosen and anointed by God before all. The Bible was quite clear on this.

Secondly, and more importantly, David was not a corrupt man. He fell into sin, made mistakes, owned up, repented, and served his cruel penance totally.

Please, in what way is he in the same position or analogous to Tinubu and any Nigerian politician, past and present?!!!

Whatever your angle of defense is, you are wrong and indulging in blasphemous mischief. Please, desist from this.

I have absolutely nothing against Nigeria's leadership other than they being fantastically corrupt and unbridled in their looting which is obvious even to their praise singers.

I simply wish we will quite putting God's name in a vain and needless attempt to justify what is not justifiable, or whitewash a stinking sepulchre.

Life is that simple.

Thanks.

One day, many of you ladies will have to explain to me what you people actually hope to achieve by bringing everything happening in your personal lives online...!

How boring can your lives be that social media has to be involved even in your marriages?!!

There was a time such things like what Hanty Sheila plastered all over Instagram were sacredly, strictly, and privately sorted out within the compounds of extended families...!

But... You 'woke' kids suddenly think everyone following you online is a caring and listening sibling.

I just dey observe all of una!

Teeklef:
Then you've not heard about King David in the Bible.

I will just safely assume you haven't just directly compared a Biblical character like King David to a corrupt leader in one of the most corrupt nations on Earth.

Maybe, you might want to throw more light on your statement. Thanks.

YorubaDemonswag:
See who's speaking? Someone that's following a known thief and worship God who derive pleasure in killing innocent being

You have no idea who or what I'm following... Assuming that I follow someone because I criticize another has to be the lowest form of reasoning I have found in Nigeria, especially among sycophants.

I'm not even religious, just pointing out that justifying man-made elections fraught with irregularities as being ordained by a Deity who was neither consulted nor involved is insulting and bordering on the obtuse.

Oba should keep being Politically correct but should resist the Temptation to irk religious people... His office is way too respectable for such tomfoolery.

We are done here.

Have a good day.

Stoplying:
To each his relationship with God. God doesn't belong to religious fanatics like you. For your information, that is how kings talk: "Tinubu's presidency was ordained by God".
And it is in no way a blasphemy. Now, walk away.
Don't confuse your personal ethnic problem agzinst Tinubu with everybody's problem, including God's and the Oba's.

You must be new on this forum or just unnecessarily defensive to conclude fanaticism has anything to do with my position.

Go rest your head before you talk further nonsense.

YorubaDemonswag:
Your useless God is more shady than anything else.

Yeah... I understand that you value corrupt leaders than your deities.

Just be sycophantic without being blasphemous.

Life is that simple.

Next!!!

DrAkpa:
Some of you just write sweet English, but you are not intelligent. If your holy God didnt want tinubu to be president, there is no way tinubu would have been able to ascend that throne and still going strong. He was destined to rule Nigeria and it is what it is. You are not anywhere near the intelligence or powers that the oba of benin possesses that gives you the right to insult his personality because he passed his opinion. If they arrest you and bring you in front of the oba to repeat those words, you will start crying and blaming the devil. Be careful, young boy, and count your teeth properly with your tongues before challenging a masquerade to a fight

Have sense abeg... I never said anything against Tinubu's presidency.

I simply stated the insincerity and downright stupidity of dragging God's name into it.

It's common sense... You and the Oba can be obsequious without resorting to blasphemy.

DrAkpa:


Unfortunately, it is what it is. The oba is right, even if it's not the truth we want to hear

The Oba is wrong! Don't be afraid to speak the plain truth.

Don't insult a Holy God by insinuating that he would endorse shady characters into top leadership positions.

That's an insensitive and offensive thing to say to citizens who hold religion and traditions in high esteem.
