With little more training, that Portable can defeat most Nigerian artists.

This is a rebuttal of this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7936687/11-reasons-why-must-japa#:~:text=11.,life%20expectancy%20is%20very%20high.

DISCLAIMER:
There is a notion that once you present an anti-japa argument, you're automatically an agent working for the govt. I want to state here that I have never supported this Apc govt since their coming to power in 2015. My contrary opinion on japa stems from my detest of youths mass-migration for economic reasons. I see it as an act of cowardice and stupidity.

This is not just for Nigerians japaing alone. I'm also disgusted whenever I see pictures of thousands of able bodied Latino youths who are at the US-Mexico border begging to be allowed entry into the US. These youths coming to together to mass-migrate can also link-up to take back their country via any possible means. Because if their home countries were better, they won't be moving out enmass. One of the reasons why the citizens of the country you're japaing to often discriminate against you is because you have proven to be a weakling seeking an easy excape or an inferior who are incapable of fixing their problems.
The only mass-migration i support is if it's due to serious natural disaster or large scale political persecution like that of Israel-Palestinian conflict. Below are the 11 reasons why you shouldn't Japa from Nigeria.

1.) It's More Easier To Be A Dollar Millionaire/Billionaire In Nigeria:

There are millions of Nigerians in the diaspora who are supposedly living in the first world economy and are working in various fields of human endeavor. But it may interest you to know that non have ever made it into Forbes billionaires list. But those at home keep making the list back to back.
This is important to point out because wealth building is a crucial topic to every real man and majority of Nigerian men moving are doing so mainly due to financial reasons.
Truth is, Nigeria is the largest market in Africa and a developing economy. There are plenty of wealth to be created in a "developing economy" than in a "develop economy", that's why as you are trooping out, Chinese, Lebanese and Indians are trooping in. Nigerians are raising $20k-30k in this economy to Japa while average Americans can't boast of $10k in their bank accounts, they live check to check.

2.) African Communal Living:

Nigeria offers the African social support system that you won't find in the Western countries. You fit run into financial emergency, your family will gather to raise funds for you, if you child misbehaves outside elders go assist you to discipline the child before you return home, if your house is on fire the whole neighborhood will join hands in puting out the fire, if you're cooking late night and ran out of maggi, if you knock on your neighbor door, him go deliver you, if your co-tenant never see you for 2 to 3 days, he go knock for your door to check up on you. All these don't happen in your Japa destination. In the West, you fit dey sick and later kpai inside your room and stay there for over a month nobody go know until your body begins to the smell.

3.) There Is More Insecurity Abroad:

You are 7times more likely to be shot in any city in America than in Lagos. Almost every Western country has violent "Far-Right Groups" who are frustrated and bitter with their Govts for allowing influx of migrants to erode their society and culture. These groups are like a time bomb waiting to go off because they can easily turn violent by attacking migrants especially black people. The big truth is, insecurity especially in southern Nigeria is over-reported and amplified on social media. There are violent crimes in every country. The crime news you read on social media especially in South of the country is commiserate with our population. No one can pull out any data anywhere to show that crime rate in the South has reached an epidemic proportions as believed on social media. In fact if you ban social media for 1year in Nigeria and conduct an opinion poll on insecurity. You will be surprised that Nigerians will tell you that insecurity has reduced. Just recently, a govt minister was robbed on the highway in South Africa. If that were to happens in Nigeria, Japa will be trending in Nigeria for more than a week. Most Nigerians haven't seen a bokoharam militant before but bokoharam will attack a village in Borno State close to the border with Chad, someone living in Lekki will read the news online and tweet that he wants to Japa due to insecurity.

4.) Easy Access To Natural Foods:

Nigeria has abundant healthy cheap natural foods and it's even taken for granted here. The people in the abroad you wants to go are jealous of your menu. Unhealthy and disease-causing canned and processed foods are what you will end up to when you finally japa because you will pay through your nose to place your hands on any organic food there.

5.) Favourable Weather Condition Throughout The Year:

Nigeria has one of the best climate conditions you can find. We have no extreme weather here. No severe temperature, Tornado or Harricane. Weather conditions in your Japa destination can cause sudden emergency situations. It can sometimes cause a whole city to be evacuated.

6.) No Racism:

Truth remains that after you Japa, you and your family will at one point experience both subtle and harsh discrimination based on your skin color or accent and you will never integrate into the Western society not even in a million years. Black Americans that japaed 400yrs ahead of you are yet to be fully integrated and accepted, I don't know who is motivating you that you will be accepted fully or that your own case will be different.

7.) Nigeria Better On Raising Cultured Kids:

If as a Nigerian, you are cautious of how your kids will be raised, you better stay back home, because in the West, your kids doesn't belong to you. They belongs to the government and authorities there are free to teach and instill any idealogy they deem necessary. So don't be shocked if your 7yrs old son are taught how to switch gender or pronoun at school and given free lgtv literature with erotic images.

8.) Nigeria Better On Entertainment And Fun Activities:

You can fall into depression abroad due to loneliness and stress from doing multiple jobs but not in Nigeria. With little money in Nigeria, you can go partying and balling till dawn day in day out. You fit die onto enjoyment.

9.) No Weird Or Crazy New Culture:

Abroad will humble a deeply religious person who is against homosexuality to work as a caregiver for gay couples. You will be forced to embrace trans and gay people, feminism and made to reject polygamy. I doubt if men have rights in the West. You risk losing everything to a woman, this don't only apply to your wife. Even your long-term girlfriend who you are cohabiting with, can be given a share of assets after a breakup by the court. If a random woman accuses you of rape, the system will already treat you as a convict. I recently observed that premier league captain band is now decorated with pride colors (lgtv flag) to support the community. And you know what awaits any player that openly criticizes it or refuses to wear the band. He risk getting cancelled and he should kiss his footballing career a goodbye. They will use his punishment as deterrent to others. All these new crazy woke policies and behaviors are not practiced in Nigeria.

10.) Cost Of Living Is Cheaper:

Thousands of Americans and EU citizens are retiring like kings in South East Asia and South America ie Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico, Chile etc. You can look it up. Not that they don't love their home countries but because they are excaping the high cost of living in the West. Accommodation, transportation, education, local foods etc are still cheaper in Nigeria. The amount you will paid on a match-box apartment in London or New York can fetch you a year rent of 2bedrooms flat in a good location in any major Nigerian city.

11.) No Rat Race Or Extreme Taxation In Nigeria:

You will labour abroad for a month and the rigged system will use "high taxation, high cost of living and the scam credit system" to return everything back to the system in order for you to repeat the circle again. In a bid not to go homeless on the cold streets, and also to put food on your table, you have no other option than to keep repeating the circle until the time you will finish your term of slavery due to old age, then your children will start where you stopped and the circle continues.
Truth is, the entire world is controlled by the globalists in the West, the further away you're from the West and it's entanglements the freer you will become. If the 1% elite in the West removes the rigging in the system you will be able to secure enough bags and retire early. But they stands to lose if people starts excaping the system early, they need your manpower for longer period of time to maintain their industries and establishments. This explains why the more income you earn there, the more rediculous taxes you pays because the system is continously gauging you and the tax system (one of it's tools of control) is strictly and heavily guided, defaulters risks jail term. The system was programmed in a way that you will never get enough in order not for you to start thinking of excaping the slave camp early until you finish your term of slavery.
This is one of reasons why rich and exposed Nigerians don't fancy living abroad. Even most African ex-footballers returns home immediately after the end of their career in Europe. An average Nigerian coming from lack, hunger and extreme poverty and who is daydreaming of Japa won't be able to see this anomaly. Living in Nigeria will provide you the opportunity to excape Matrix.

No one attacks anyone that makes a Post about Japa. But see as insults dey fly around because he adviced against japa.. u all dat think life only moves wen u go dia r just despicable.

Pierohandsome:
That peace deal won't stand , just watch. The whole thing is beyond Fubara, even if he wants to, PDP as a party won't accept.

Na court go settle am las las

Lol. That is d best deal for him. Who is the court?

rinzaugustine:
we thought the elections would be electronic, free and fair, BVAS used as signed into electoral law by senate and which Mahmoud agreed to comply with, but we didn’t know he already had plans with Mahmoud but he will pay for his crime against the whole Nigeria at the right time

Okay. Just because bvas n irev didn't work, dat means it was rigged. If ur candidate used it to win. Would it have been fair?

rinzaugustine:
Story…north never voted tinubu and they all know Mahmoud wrote results of voting outcomes for Tinubu..check out northern platforms in Hausa language and translate to English and see what they are saying and judge for yourself …but tinubu’s electoral crime will definitely implode on his head. He will never run away from it

Go and rest. Na ur type even talk say Tinubu no go pass screening, no go even win primaries. If Tinubu no win North, who come win am?

sweetval:
This is bad. This man wan finish us kpatakpata

Stop being stupid and read.. even if ur dick no fit rise na Tinubu. U carry infection. Na still tinubu.

- Innocent Chukwuma(innoson)
- Cosmos Maduka(coscharis)
- Clement Madubugwu(ibeto)
- Augustine Ilodibe(ekenedilichukwu)
- Ifeanyi Uba(capital oil)
- Cubana chief priest
- Chukwudemeje Onwuamadike a.k.a Evans
- Victor Okafor a.k.a Ezego
- Emeka Okonkwo a.k.a Emoney.
From the above list, the first six names were products of ibo apprentice system, while the last three names were secondary school drop outs. While it is true that everybody wants to be successful in business whether educated or not, however, the society has a duty to raise questions when individuals begin to flaunt questionable wealth. With the exception of Augustine Ilodibe who took an advantage of mass ibo migration from the SE to SW and North, how did the rest of the names on the list became a billionaire?. This leads me to the rationality of the concept of money culture among the ibos. All the names in the list are model of money culture in iboland, most especially among ibo youths, they eulogize them and boast of them.

PS;

Cubana chiefpreist weh go IMSU. Abi dat one nobi formal education?

I do know the current exchange rate is terrible and so the prices of everything especially gadgets have increased significantly
But I'll need recommendations for a smartphone of 250k
I'm a power user so I want a decent battery life, a fast processor, 5G and a decent camera

Get the Samsung Note 10. Everything good with wiresless and reverse charging. London used goes from 220k depending on location. I got a new one yesterday

gidgiddy:
Yesterday 26th of November, former Governor Peter Obi visited his old Secondary School, Christ The King College, Onitsha, popularly known as CKC. Peter Obi celebrated with students and old boys alike,the 90th anniversary of the School

Any day you hear that Bola Tinubu visited any Secondary School he attended, feel free to cut off my legs

Aso rock weh Tinubu dey, peter obi no fit enter am. Make he try am, make we see.

Generalmystic:
If more refineries springs up it will be a win win for all.

I think Peter Obi's proposition of giving license to modular refineries, would have been the best

Make una rest with peter obi dis n dat.. modular
Refinery licence weh dem start since buhari regime first days in office. Almost 30 licenses were given even tinubu wan withdraw those ones weh no dey use am.

Sadwaste:
When Atiku made a call recently, requesting for opposition parties to unite in order to stop Nigeria's decent to one party state, I laughed. I didn't find Atiku's request ridiculous because it lacks merit but the hidden agenda behind it.

Atiku has realized that PDP and LP going into election in 2027 against Tinubu and APC's rigging will be an effort in futility, so he is hoping that Obi and others will withdraw for him in the so-called coalition.

The question is, why is Atiku & some Northern Muslims fooling himself?

Atiku is not only greedy, but also shortsighted, impatient and arrogant. This man would have most likely become president in 2007 if only he didn't have those baggages I listed above. He was so disloyal to his boss Obasanjo, that he constantly planned and sabotaged him severally. In return, Obasanjo overlooked him as a successor and also vowed to stop his presidential ambition in future. When Goodluck Jonathan was about going for second tenure, which if he had completed it, presidency would have returned to North and Atiku would have clinched the ticket in 2015. What did Atiku do? He naively and arrogantly sabotaged Jonathan and teamed up with Buhari who was in APC to destroy Jonathan's chances. If Atiku wasn't so unfortunate, he would have known that Buhari would rule for 8 years & there was no way another Northerner would succeed him.

Today, instead of giving up and accepting he blew up his chances due to his tomfoolery, he is once again on a wild goose chase.

The coalition for 2027 is a good idea, but it must have Obi as its flagbearer. Obi is the most popular politician in Nigeria today. He actually won the 2023 election but was rigged out. However, if North decides to give Obi full backing in 2027, and he gets block votes in the SE and SS, there is nothing Tinubu can do to stop him. Also, the national assembly must ensure that INEC becomes truly independent before 2027.

Anything outside of these will hand Tinubu straight 8 years and I doubt if North will ever recover from the damage of Tinubu's treacherous policies.

Lol. You are funny. You say Obi won, on the other hand you agree that North didn't give him backing and now you want them to do so.. How did he now win election without the North.. You think the north will back him to go for 8 years after tinubu.when they can just wait for another 4 years b4 their son takes over..

[quote author=paxx post=127071036]IM just glad Al Jazeera is the one covering it, if it was Alex Otti or Arise News that covered it, you would have said it was a lie

Report or no report i have firsthand information of wetin dey happen dat side. I know 3 persons weh dem even use common 50k pay dia ransome.

jmoore:
As usual, the foolish Tinubu supporters have started to defend the northerners that dominated the market were the bodies where found. Just as their Tinubu said 'where are the cows'?, the idiots will always defend the northern terrorists.

The military works with these muslim terrorists. There is always a military checkpoint close to those kidnapping hotspots.

Everything is not tinubu or fulani. U will be surprised that most of dem kidnappers who are fulani are headed by our igbo brothers.. is a joint business. I rmba wen methodist prelate was kidnapped there. He exposed a lot.

Kukutente23:
You just sit on the corner of your room and make assumptions on what you know nothing of.
Show pictures of when APC and NNPP were given equal access to electoral materials. APC who were going to court will have requested for access before NNPP.
There's nothing you guys won't defend in your blazing ignorance

And you, show a picture or any statement from the NNPP legal representative that they were not given access to the materials. D LP team at the PEPT complained once and it was released to them. Why didn't d NNPP team do so, if they were also in dat situation.

Kukutente23:
It's 165,000 not 130,000. Apart from the obvious lie that EA requires ballot papers to be signed and stamped, I'm sure if NNPP were given same access and time to go through ballot papers, they'll find same against APC if not worse.
Look at Rivers for example. Inec deliberately delayed allowing APC access to electoral materials used in the gubernatorial polls. By the time they were given access, Wike's thugs are into their time by denying them access to Inec's office.
So that APC in Kano had enough time to check over 2m and see 166,000 unsigned ballot papers is suspicious

Did NNPP ever complained that they were not given materials from the election to derive their evidence. That is their problem. All materials were listed to everyone, that some made good use of theirs against others. Who should be held responsible?

Bobloco:
Where you there?

You are sounding as if you have the facts

Like I stated earlier, there's a calculated attempt, a wicked one at that to snatch Kano state using the judiciary and unfortunately, the judiciary have since become a willing tool in their hands

U pple always attatch emotions to judgement. So in the whole pu. Dem no stamp NNPP own, but stamp APC own. Does it make sense to you?

Kukutente23:
Did the returning officer reject the ballot papers?
You are beginning to sound like the average APC zombie

He will definitely reject it. He won't even want to put his self in problems.. d PU is not only Made for NNPP voters. How come in same PUs it was only NNPP sheets were not stamped, but that of APC was stamped.

Bobloco:
Are you now implying that only the NNPP could have done that. Don't forget that Ganduje and the APC were the incumbent government when this election was conducted.

The truth is that Tinubu, Ganduje and the APC are hell bent on snatching Kano state using the judiciary and you know it

Is left for NNPP to also present there evidence showing voter sheets with APC thumbprinting without stamp or signature. Once they show it also, it would be deducted.

ShenTeh:
There must have been some sort of back hand dealings dealings no doubt.

How does a sovereign country unconditionally withdraw a N1.5 trn legal suit against a company, and still unconditionally agree to never have a reason to seek legal redress against that company or its representatives or staff for past and present crimes? How dumb can a country be.

Abi dem don begin blackmail Baba ni?

Because we are losing, no one will be gaining in war. Didn't u see how many millions of oil barrels from dat OPL alone. Case weh dy court for over a decade now. Once d start production back, it will benefit everyone.

Election was taking place in 3 states and Kogi happened to be the biggest debtor whn it comes to salary and pension... Ajaero and NLC didn't go to Kogi or bayelsa to protest, but he choose his state Imo because his political party is going to benefit from the protest...

Dat guy dey use NLC do campaign for 2027 gov election for IMO. Em know wetin e dy do. Oyo, kogi, bayelsa are all owning workers. Even wen abia under ikpeazu owe almost 30months, e no protest. E rush come Imo.

Okay God. You are noticed.

It’s impossible

I swear with my life and unborn kids. I'm one of d most hated wen it has to do with dis tinubu administration in my side.

igbos lack substance


They just want d bragging rights that they produced president but are pained cos yorubas they hate d most denied them

Sorry, dis has nothing to do with tribalism. I'm igbo, but i voted Tinubu. Because i was convinced he will perform. Let's give him time to clean up d system. So keep sentiments apart.
