Oga because we called you out on your tribalist mindset all you could come with is the word "hypocrite".

Rufai is from your side of the country and he knows that your education is a waste which is why he puts it out there.

Of course since the truth "touch you" and given that your level of education did not equip you with critical thoughts or the capacity to make a valid and well structured argument in defence of your position. What did you? Like a standard textbook case you resorted to name calling.

Let me say it again, of all the four leading presidential candidates in 2023 election, Obi got most of his votes based on tribalism and religion sentiment. You guys should shut the fvck up. That's not name calling but what you are, hypocrites

TINTINABULATION:
I indeed pity the poor & innocent woman i.e the wife.

She had just been betrayed by the two strongest & most important pillars any lady should have in life.

For the sake of her sanity & mental health, the most courageous thing to do, is to walk away.

And come into your house. Lol. After everything she has said

headboyprince:
guy 800 pounds isnt up to minimum wage. but you're still able to survive on it. and you're complaining. arent you already better than graduates earning mimumum wage of 30k per month, in Nigeria. iam sure you just graduated last year.

If he says he's not better, then he's not better. Or, you know his condition more than he knows his own condition?

headboyprince:
Japa mustnt be all about UK, or U.S or following student visa. one can go to japa to a nearby country and work or start a biz. the U.K is too smart they know most nigerians coming in are running from their bad govt, so they put restrictions everywhere and increase the visa fees and procedures.

you cant jump from a prison to a palace, even if you're the prison chairman, you have to follow due process. else you will end up as the palace slave. Yes Nigeria is the prison and U.K is the palace

I don't want to be a slave or start as a slave in the palace. Let me be my chairman in my prison

dettolgel:
The message remains no matter your political affiliation as long as you voted along religious or tribal line

We don't want that message from the guilty ones, it's hypocrisy.

your education is a waste

You sure? Because we called you what you are: hypocrite

Mcslize:
First of all, where are you currently? If you are not in Nigeria, and you are typing this, may they deport you.

Look at you, laughing. Your heart is still as dark as ever, smh. Continue stalking nairaland

But if you are in Nigeria, then good for you.

I'm in Nigeria, and I say good for me.

Let me interest you again before you leave. We couldn't raise money for processing our visa after we were scheduled for interview to take place the second week of the 52 weeks that the interviews would last!!
Things changed, more specifically, financially for me years after but for the fact I'm not particularly about living and working abroad, I lost interest thereafter. That was the only time I tried it.
I started my house project last year March and I moved in last year December. Taking care of seven family members. You know what is more interesting? The last time I did work was 2018! That's how good Nigeria is for me

Eriokanmi:
God don save us, na to save ourselves remain, from the shackles of tribalism and religious bigotry, which always influence our decisions when voting a leader into power. We'd always end up in choosing wrongly until we shun these 2 menaces bedeviling us as a nation

Talk another matter. Tinubu's votes were spread more evenly across the six regions than any other candidate among the four leading candidates with the exception of south east that voted based on tribalism where Obi got over 90% of the total presidential votes.

ogododo:
Dem think say dem don escape APC wicked rule.

U dey talk say APC hand still dey reach dem for abroad?

Another parent, who gave his name simply as Mr Smith, said he was aware that his son was to pay $17,000 for tuition in the US.

“But now when the dollar is around N1,500, where will we get over N25m? It is even better to invest the money in something else than to do this under pressure.”

Holy crap!! This is killing

dettolgel:
I can see that common sense is far from you. If you have at least two working brain cells to rob together you would have understood that my post cut across political party. Can you show me anywhere in my post or even that of Oseni that mentioned any particular party?

But of course since you are too dumb to understand common text you resort to insult. Nevertheless your inability to comprehend a simple text is not an excuse for you to disgrace yourself online.

Meanwhile I am not responsible for you being an olodo, so you can go home and call those that failed to raise you properly mumu. At least you lot deserve each other

We are telling you and Oseni that you are not in any position to be the ones telling Nigerian voters this kind of message. The message should best directed to your candidate who is guilty of this crime and your fellow Obi's supporters who, by evidence, voted massively for Obi based on tribe and religion

Mcslize:
Stop the lie. Most of the people that spoke against relocating abroad here on naira 3-4 years ago have deactivated their accounts, relocated abroad and created new account just so people won't fish them out here on Nairaland about all their anti-japa posts after deceiving people not to relocate. They are now abroad.

I know that's what you will do. Let's bet it, you will deactivate this account and run abroad. Stop deceiving people. We know you guys. You don't keep to your words. Later on you will japa and deactivate this your account and create another one.

That's what you these anti-japa folks know how to do. It's people like you that will also send your children abroad to study if you have the funds without allowing them to study here in Nigeria.

If Nigeria is good enough, while will some persons like you who so much love Nigeria to be sending their children abroad for studies? Isn't that self deception?

It's high time you anti-yapa folks stopped this self deception.

The funniest thing about you who appear to know everyone more than they know themselves is that you left Nigeria in body but still here in spirit. Lol. Only if you knew what I meant

BTW: I'm not against japa o, because I tried it in 2013 AVL, the last one Nigeria participated in and my wife was selected, together with me and our six months old daughter.
But my point is that all Nigerians can't japa, not possible.
Then, people with well paying jobs should also think deeply before japa.

Mcslize:
And who is saying all the over 200 million people should japa? Where them won see the money? In this poverty capital of the world when they never see food eat na abroad they wan go?

All we are saying is that, let those that want to leave breathe. We are tired of all the lambas all the anti-japa folks dey cook about abroad. How Nigeria is heaven on earth. How people suffer abroad and they can't feed.

How everyone in Nigeria is living well and smiling. Come on! Enough of all those lambas is what we are clamping down on here on Nairaland.

I would say pro japa are the louder ones here and other social media, telling everyone to japa at the slightest negative development

ClearFlair:
Who mentioned names?

You didn't have to. We knew the holiers than thou.

I'm not Igbo

I didn't say you're, my comment was about the candidates and the demography of their votes.

and I voted for Peter Obi because he was by far the best candidate.

What made him the best? That's what you would like to believe just like supporters of other candidates

dettolgel:
The good thing about the situation is that everyone is feeling the heat no one is exempt.

The sad thing is that those tribalist and religious bigot will still vote along religious and tribal line even if you conduct another election today. That is the reason I don't pity most Nigerians they just do not have working brains.

A sample of the comments on nairaland will give you and insight into the inner working of the average Nigeria.

One of them is just right below me since insult does not use much brain power they would rather dish out insult instead of tackling the issue raised.

Mumu. You and Oseni should cover your faces due to shame. The candidate you supported was the only candidate caught on tape campaigning, using religious sentiment. His landslide votes came from his region with other candidates scoring near zero votes . Hypocrites

ClearFlair:
Anyone who votes based on religion or tribe in 2023 cannot be considered a properly functioning human being.

Bring out region by region of the votes recorded by Tinubu, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso and let's see if Obi didn't take the lead of the votes based on tribe and on religion . Check Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso votes from the east and check Obi's votes from other regions
He even whipped up religious sentiment, unknown to him that he was being recorded.

dettolgel:
We need a lasting solution not a temporary one. Once they offload the dollars what next?

Let's ask speculators. They don't have need for dollars but they keep mopping it up for storing in the hope that naira will continue to fall.

Mcslize:
Because you will provide full security for the person right? Whoever that is doing well can come up with another reason to relocate not specifically because of money as most of you always base everything on money.

You turn a blind eye to the insecurity going on in the country. Have you been sprayed bullets before? Have you been doubled crossed by kidnappers before?

Just last month here, kidnappers double crossed a young guy who is an in-law to one of my brother's friend. He was driving a GLK when they accosted him in front of a popular hotel around 9pm in the evening.

They sprayed him bullets all over his laps and carried him away with injuries. They removed over 18 million from the guy's account and his family still paid an extra 1.5 million before he was released to them almost dead.

I was the one that directed them to a teaching hospital emergency ward as they were referred by another hospital to continue the operation to remove the remaining bullets. Some were very close to the lap bone called femur. So if he is walking, he gets this sharp shock that prevents him not to be able to walk and he will scream due the the pain.

Over 80 bullets were removed and other were still hanging on close to the thigh bone as shown in the scan he did. I saw the many piece of bullets surrounding his thigh bone.

Now, with all these stories and the ones some persons have witnessed one on one, there are still some of you that will always think having money in Nigeria is enough reason never to leave. You people are not even looking at the insecurity aspect of the country.

Every relocation is not about money. People are running for their dear life to saner society where one can move about without fear of being whisked away by kidnappers or being killed by them.

It is high time you guys should desist from encouraging those who have money not to leave the country even if their lives feel threatened by the insecurities ravaging the whole country. If the story of what I just told you above happens to you, and you witness a horrific experience with kidnappers, I believe only then you will have a change of mind about the importance of relocation.

The truth is that relocation is not a solution to all of the Nigeria's problems. Unemployment: japa advice! Insecurity: japa advice!! Poor educational system: japa advice!!! Poor health service: japa advice!!!! Lack of Infrastructures: japa advice!!!!! Is it possible for over 200 million people to japa?

Uwazie0:
Lol. You never japa, you dey give motivational speech. Oga, everything you said is dust. The cleaner in my office here travels to severla countries on holiday. Infact, she just came back from Turkey last week, she went to relax with her husband for a week. How many people who have good corporate jobs in Nigeria can afford to travel out for holidays. She even uses an Iphone 15 pro max, which she pays bit by bit every month without any stress. you are here talking about washing toilet.

I can say categorically that it is better to wash toilet in the UK or US than to work with in banks or with Federal Government in Nigeria. Believe it or not

This is the kind of exaggeration that made many bank managers relocated only to become high-rise building windows cleaners and some professors to become cab drivers just to beat hunger.

Gerrard59:
I don't mind sponsoring a research by 2030 - 2035 to know people's stories on the recent japa from 2015 - 2019 and 2019 to 2023. It would make an interesting study. To be honest, it is tough residing abroad as an adult migrant and worse so if married with young children. One is not in its dominant environment and stands out in almost every situation. Migration is mentally tough. It can also be financially draining for many people. Most people who moved out recently will be glad to return if the economy gets to pre-2015 levels and security to 2010s levels. It is one of the reasons my search for relatively safe and seemingly functional black dominated countries has begun. There is a feeling of being amongst people who look like you. But economics trumps psychology.

I think the complaints stem from those who lived relatively comfortable lives in Nigeria and then moved abroad via education rather than a work visa. This is because the previous migration wave in 2010 - 2015, which was just regular folks, did not have the barrage of complaints as today. Why? Most migrated when immigration policies were liberal, the global economy was pretty OK, there wasn't any mass migration from developing countries as it is today, inflation, wars etc. Most importantly, they migrated as single folks rather than married with children.

So, what changed? BUHARI! People who campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015 ruined this country with their decision!

Lol. Buhari who promised and assured Nigerians that he could do it didn't ruined Nigeria, it was the people who decided to give him a chance at his fourth attempt who ruined Nigeria? That's nice

headboyprince:
#30 million not even up to $30k however, Nigerians on minimum wage cant make #30 million in their life time. but over there you can in less than 2 years make $30k even on minimum wage. and youre saying you're arent lucky?

004gist:
I made this 30 million by selling my houses in Nigeria and use the funds to Japa.

I didn't make the money here

Now the funds has exhausted and I am still standing on one leg

They will never believe you. That's their problem

stunnert:
She's so dumb to post this online. Imagine her family and her husband's family seeing this shiii online


You don't know how lucky you are if none of your family members come online to embarrass their selves, you and your ancestors

What if they see it? You would rather prefer that she dies in silence, right? She's addressing her problem the way she sees it fit

Danisaint112:
Benjamin Netanyahu has told Hamas terrorists and their sympathizers that a "two state solution Is dead on arrival."

Any other thing they have going on is wishful thinking.

The people supporting this Palestinians shit are Muslims, Christians who didn't take up the challenge to read the Bible from Genesis to revelation to actually know if they are being lied to or not and agnostics+atheists.

Anybody that tells you he or she is a Christian and is supporting this army of philistines evil act is a big fraud.

Netanyahu is a man with big balls........
......... Until economic and military aids from the US stops flowing in

Yugoslavia247:
If you give Israel to Palestine and Palestine to Israel Palestine will still want Israel.

Why

The hatred is religious and deep rooted.

Despite all the billions it is tunnel for war.

Palestine can say bye to Palestine

When you lose a war, the victor determines what happens to the vanquished.

They only want to remove Israel.

Check the photo below and tell us if what you see looks religious and tell us who is removing who.

Useless people

Fool
You are either ignorant or a religious bigot.

HateBigots:
Terrorist sympathizer . The sanction is on individuals who attacked Israeli and Palestine people not on Israel.

Focus on what's happening in your God forsaken country overrun by terrorist and kidnappers.

Anyone still supporting Israel at this point is nothing but terrorists sympathizer

LeeSmart:
Lol Benjamin Netanyahu is someone with some serious balls, he vehemently called dis move a bluff. Omor that man's balls are made of steel.

Everyone is James Bond ............ Until money and weapons stop coming in from his lifeline, uncle Sam

EleventhWeirdo:
When the Jews declared an independent state over some paltry lands in 1948, why didn't the Palestinians do same ? Why didn't they declare independence from the British mandate first and then contest or go to war later? In 1948, '67, '73, or 2002, Palestinians and extended Arabs have demonstrated that they are not interested in their own sovereign prosperity; annihilation of Israel is their priority instead. Not that Israel too is completely innocent, but I cannot give my sympathies to a group overwhelmed by existential hate for another

Check the photo attached below, then you will understand that this is far from being "overwhelmed by existential hate for another" but a desperate struggle to survive from being exterminated.

That's what happens when you support a terrorist nation unconditionally. Even their ordinary civilians would be emboldened to be become law themselves and do as they like. I don't blame Israelis, I blame USA for giving Israel unconditional support.

Anti semitic! Anti semitic!! all the time. Abeg, make we hear word and stop hiding under what happened in 1940s to perpetrate crimes against humanity

Honestly I don't know. Some will just buy th space and put flower vases

HelpfulBro:
resisting arrest is one thing, I only asked for me to show the police my proof of my legal purchase at least. It's wrong to just spring me up to enter your van of course I will panic

Now, we understood each other. Next time, the person just need to enter, I wouldn't want them to rough handle me.

Intrepid01:
Did you just say Nigeria is a country where drop in government revenue would not be felt by the people? Lol, you really don’t know what you’re saying. What do you think is the cause of the present free fall in Naira? It is because FG revenue has dropped significantly and do not have sufficient dollar to meet demand. The demand for dollar payments (via our huge importation, international payments, loan servicing etc.) has far outgrown Supply (via revenue that comes majorly from crude oil). If the price of crude oil should magically surge to $200 as it used to be, Nigeria’s revenue would triple and govt would have sufficient fund to meet demand, thereby reducing pressure on Naira. You need to read more on how it works, but I understand your annoyance about a government that has no positive impact on the people.

Nigerian government and her citizens are completely disconnected. When oil price dropped to all time low record during covid-19 (like 10 dollars per barrel), Nigerian govt felt it badly but we the citizens didn't feel anything. That's what happens when the Govt is useless to her citizens.

Come together kee you there. Are we the once Incharge of the economy. If your party’s and government policies are hurting the nation. Find ways to deal with it. Hit the ground running wey una talk . Tinubu will handle the economy, Shettima will deal with insecurity. Na clueless Nigerians I pity. Sadly my family is still there. Nonsense

Japa people, is it not possible for you to find a way to evacuate all of them? This is what we have been saying, it is not possible for over 200 million population to japa. Japa advice is not the comprehensive solution
