Have you forgotten i was one of the first on this forum years back to declare that the country was condemned? Medical profession would always be the first to see that the country is condemned. E no get how you go ask Doctor to function without even the most basic equipment, pathology or drugs and they won't call bullshit. If you want to see where a country is headed, check the migration pattern of its Doctors. |

raumdeuter: I have an older colleague, His dad came to US in the 70s for Theology school and was to start a church here where he can get all his family a legal stay. After 2yrs the man left America in 1984 under the guise that he cannot be doing dirty man job as a big man. He went to Nigeria and became one Anglican church leader. but left his eldest son who was 14yrs behind with family friends and took the other 4 younger ones back to Naija
The 14yr old is now a big man in one company here, but the other ones in Naija one just got a visa to UK 3yrs ago, the other 3 have not been able to get visas and are stuck in their mid 40s. The father sef economy don change na that son wey dey Yankee dey build house, sed car to them in Nigeria I tell you, this one decision dey change destinies. Coming from a polygamous extended family with dozens of uncles, aunties and cousins, I can see how the trajectory of life between brothers and sisters, cousin to cousin change simply based on who Japa and who did not japa. Multiple instances of two cousins the same age, and one is earning 6 figures while the other is struggling for accomodation and food. Even in my pops story who Japa on scholarship in 1970 and decided to return to Naija in 1984 despite working professionally here, you can see the difference in comfort of retirement with my pops best friend here who decided to stay here and drove bus his whole life. The bus driver was selling million pound house he kept from then to seal his retirement in style, while my pops was relying on his children to pay off his mortgage. Japa is a destiny changer. |

donjazet: As I said earlier, success is loud, failure is silent.
Many at times, we hear of people that won millions via betting but what you rarely hear is how much that particular person has lost before. The person won't tell you that the money he won hasn't even covered the one's he lost.
For every successful person here who emigrated, there is an equal number of those who emigrated and failed. But you won't see such story's here. Because everyone wants to always paint a picture of success online.
I've not heard Ibime, afrodoc or dayo talk about any single challenge they might have encountered along the way, challenges which they might have successfully scaled through but which can sink others.
So please my brothers. You must be open-eyed. You must make a completely well researched decision before making that leap. Thank you. Western economies are robust enough to absorb anyone with a good degree. Failure will be if you didn't have funds to complete your studies, maybe you have inferiority complex or low self-belief that doesn't allow you to perform in interviews, or some people simply ran into mental health challenges and their parents recalled them home, or they were treated by the system here. The above applies to education route japa which is the surest route. Avoid countries with a parallel economy like Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta, basically any Mediterranean country. Those guys will take Africans and pay them below minimum wage and the authorities don't care. Stick to UK, USA, Canada, Aussie, New Zealand, Nordic countries, Ireland, maybe Germany and France. If you study in an EU country like Czech and co, immediately find your way to Western Europe. All Japa are not equal. |

AIT1: Ibime sir, talking about Japa, is it possible to see a fully-funded Masters scholarship in UK? Can you recommend any scholarship someone can see such opportunity? First degree is in mathematics (4.45/5.0).
I want w use the school as I don’t have the financial capacity to go through another route.
Thanks boss. With that GPA in Maths, you should be in decent shape I've lost memory of the website where postgrad scholarships in Europe used to be listed but if you type in postgraduate scholarships in Google, you'll get there sooner or later. Most of the free scholarships then used to be in those Nordic countries. You can also try the Wellcome Trust.

monerozi5590: Ibime, over 35s is not beyound japa oh. I know of a guy here that japa with his family to the UK. The guy is in his late 40s. Though he has Phd. Indeed, depending on your level in Naija. Those ones are not Japa, they are "transfer". These are usually guys who could have Japa at any stage but won't bother unless someone comes begging them, or if they see an opportunity too juicy. I asked my guy Jarus if he ever planned to work abroad, he said no, unless an International agency like UN come for him. Na those kain guys wey dey at the top fit Japa in their 40s. Even one of my uncle is about to Japa in his 60s because a company in Canada came for him for directorship role. Another uncle Japa in his mid-40s straight from Shell to Norway via Oil and Gas. From there he still transferred to Canada after few years. |

Ibime, what do you say to the people who make these statements? I would still vote, but it depends on the ruggedness of my polling station, and whether "boys" will be there. If you are in the City you should be fine. Election is rigged in the rural areas. You can't vote APC in my hometown for example |

Japa no be fight, already 99% of the population is beyond japa such as the almajiris, rural community, over 35s, non-graduates, children etc. It's more for young men and women with skills that are coveted in Obodo Oyinbo, or those with intellectual capacity to develop those skills through post graduate studies.
You still have many people in Naija making it big, but it's a much much smaller subset of the population. It's just a game of chance and probability. And if you put yourself in a subset with higher probability, chances are it will favour you.
The cost-benefit analysis of earning say N1m pcm in Nigeria really doesn't cut it compared to a like-for-like comparison with a professional abroad regardless of purchasing power. In a like for like comparison, the guy abroad will still save N1.5m to N2m per month, see other increase in property equities, pensions, still move back to Naija and be in an immeasurably better position than the guy who stayed. That does not factor exigencies like healthcare, education, security, and ability of children to operate within the society. Most guys in Naija who earn that N1m all their career will still give up every single spare cash they saved throughout their career to send their children abroad for University. That says it all. |

raumdeuter: And now Now this (In Trevor Noahs voice)
As the Nation awaits the nomination of the APC Presidential Flagbearer, President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, met with some governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the north at the Presidential Villa Abuja and among other things, debunked the rumours which gained traction earlier in the day that the ruling party had settled for Senate President, Ahmed Lawan.
Sources at the meeting stated that the President distanced himself from the alleged endorsement of Lawan by the APC’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/buhari-meets-northern-governors-debunks-claim-on-consensus-candidate/ lol. A riddle wrapped in an enigma. Chairman no get blockos to work for Lawan in defiance of the two head hunchos Buhari and Tinubu As long as there's no consensus, Tinubu wins easily |

He should trying getting by on even NYSC allawee first, before discussing a minimum wage earner in the united states Even at that, Nigerians know how to cøck-nyash and the message is for Nigerians who will expect to live frugally when they are fresh, not Oyinbo that goes out and blow $100 every weekend.

BasedUsername: This is a pretty nebulous term that refers to longtime politicians and government officials working to fill their pockets and power. Eg: politicians in bed with the military industrial complex, FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page investigating Trump while really, really wanting him out.
Rich oligarchs who lobby for government policies that they believe would bring down the cost of living.
Having a heavily-linked global economy where countries depend on each other. The issue is that it tries to ignore historical, cultural, ave political differences that could cause friction between nations.
This is some Christian shxt, let them explain it.
From Wikipedia: "The Great Reset is the name of the 50th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), held in June 2020. The meeting soon became the focus of various conspiracy theories. It brought together high-profile business and political leaders, convened by Charles, Prince of Wales and the WEF, with the theme of seizing upon the global crisis to rebuild society and the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic."
I personally don't believe high-profile business and political leaders have my best interests in mind.
This just means mainstream media. I have no idea how this is a conspiracy theory. People from sides of the political spectrum have spoken critically about the msm.
Not too familiar with this term.
How you'd describe Fox News
The laptop definitely exists. Now, I don't believe it contains EVIDENCE OF HEINOUS CRIMES AND SATANIC RITUALS THAT WOULD LEAD TO THE IMPEACHMENT AND EXECUTION OF JOE BIDEN.
However, when the New York Post broke the story without any conspiracy theories attached to it, Twitter banned their account, the account of a century-old news org. That was bad and exposed Twitter's bias That's how it starts. Soon all the above will become part of your daily lexicon |
