BondRiv:
I couldn't care less. Are we glorifying bad weather? People in those climes clamour for summer.

I don't know too many people who wish for snow, all it does is cause accidents and ruin travel plans.

Kastonkastroll:
And so? This is purely a promotion advertisement for the super eagles and anybody can do it during this afcon as long as you have the money.

Every little thing una don run go post for social media just to get engagements. What a generation what a time.

What does Tinubu have to with the Super Eagles?

Every other country uses their players to advertise their team, only mentally disturbed people fail to see the isse here.

Antoeni:
Canada didn’t “suddenly turn wicked”. Most of these cases are failed asylum claims and immigration rule violations and once your application is denied, the country will enforce removal. That’s their system.
The sad part is why Nigerians are risking everything in the first place ... no jobs, no stability, weak institutions, zero hope at home. People aren’t running because Canada is paradise… they’re running because Nigeria keeps pushing them out.
Fix the country and migration becomes a choice, not an escape plan

366 is tiny compared to the number who have run to that countly over the past few years.

vanbonattel:
Japa syndrome is as a direct result of bad government in Nigeria.

The youths are always looking on how to run away from agbaddo government policies

It's the symptom of a foolish people who think they can breed their way out of poverty.

sweerychick:
Lol bro forget it. Don't be deceived by the beautiful beaches, and islands, Caribbean countries is a no no for Africans, first of it's very expensive, when I mean expensive I mean you need nothing less than $1k a month to survive their, secondly they're not friendly with Africans especially with west Africans, they believe yo mofos sold them into slavery, because of the west indies people. Thirdly there are limited jobs there exclusively for western citizens and Chinese, its great for vacation but not for Japa, you ask me I've been to Barbados before and they Dominican republic.. If you want to Japa, look for smaller island African countries like, Seychelles or Afro asian island country like the Maldives

There is no country in the history of mankind that desires an influx of impoverished Africans.

There's no such thing as a "neutral" country.

Didn’t know people still went to Shoprite, there are so many better options. Especially in Abuja.

infogenius:
Thanks for the kind words and the solid question!

Entrepreneur and investor visas are some of the best options right now for Nigerians who already have money or a strong business idea. They give faster PR or citizenship, and many allow u to bring ur family. Here’s a simple breakdown for 2025:

• Canada (Start-up Visa): Perfect if u have an innovative business (tech, fintech, health app, etc.). U need support from a Canadian investor or incubator (they invest small or nothing). No big money required from u, just a good plan. Leads to PR in 2–3 years. Many Nigerians are using this quietly.

• UK (Innovator Founder Visa): For people with a new or scalable business idea. U need endorsement from an approved body. No minimum investment, but u must show the business is real and viable. Leads to permanent residence in 3 years.

• Australia (National Innovation Visa – new in 2025): Replaces the old business visa. For exceptional entrepreneurs with proven track record. Points-based, invites only the very best. High chance of PR.

• New Zealand (Active Investor Visa): Simple and sweet. Invest NZD 5 million (about ₦3 billion) in growth businesses or NZD 10 million in safer options. Very low stay requirement (few weeks per year). PR after 3–5 years.

• Turkey (Citizenship by Investment): The fastest. Invest $400,000 in property or $500,000 in business/bank. Get Turkish passport in 6–8 months. Visa-free to 120 countries and easy access to US E-2 visa later. Many wealthy Nigerians love this one.

Why aren’t more “comfortable” Nigerians using these?
1 Most rich Nigerians prefer quick passport programs (like Turkey, Caribbean) for travel freedom, not for moving abroad to run a business.
2 These visas require real business activity and proof that ur money is clean. Many people fear “source of funds” questions.
3 Awareness is low. Agents push student or skilled worker routes more because they’re easier to sell to middle-class people.
4 Some just want the family to school abroad, not to start a new business in cold weather.

But for serious business people, these visas are gold. If u have the funds or a strong idea, start with Canada or Turkey as they’re the most friendly right now.

There's hardly any checks done on proof of funds for the Carribbean nations citizens. I don't know about Turkey but I'd be surpised if it was in any way stringent since it's boing abused by Russians much like Malta and Cyprus before it were.

grandstar:
That Wall Street guy is an idiot. i used to have a paid X subscription.

Why would Japs or South Koreans want to emigrate to the US when they are very comfortable at home.

However, if Japan's economy continues in its current trajectory, and the Yen drops to like $1- Yen 300 in 20 years time, perhaps that might start.

Japanese and Koreans have birth rates below replacement levels, they don't have a youth population to export. That's the current reason for their low emigration levels.

Nigeria has a population that has doubled every 25 years for the past 75 years, a recipe for disaster.

Kemetian:
IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA AND YOU HAVE CHILDREN, WILL YOU LET THEM GO AROUND ALONE?

IT IS ALWAYS EASY TO CRITICISE UNTIL YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THAT POSITION, THEN YOUR LEVELS GO CHANGE OVERNIGHT..

LOUD HYPOCRITES.

It is the number of people that are used to protect one person that is alarming

Sonofgod1990:
I wonder why dis your comment has not been removed for insulting a country president. Tinubu is trying his best. Don't you have a governor? Chairman? Councilors? What are they doing to

If they act like goats I will call them as such.

Why are you more worried by my words than his actions?

Sonofgod1990:
This USA are just looking for a way to come into Nigeria to milk us dry. Tinubu should not allow them

Enough for all dis

USA this
USA that

Tinubu is only in office to milk Nigeria. The man has never had a plan, his only credential was "om0l1k@n". Foolish old goat that he is.

Orlandoo:
This is long overdue. Let the Islamic terrorists brace up for what is coming. And again, America should monitor social media like nairaland, more especially this thread, to sieve out terrorists within.

If you do not deal with the socio-economic and cultural issues then this is all a waste of time.

How many lives did tte Americans waste is Afghanistan only for it to revert back to Taliban hands once they left?

Blossomfirst:
A country that prioritises her citizens. Good for the US

You should speak to the citizens because you don't know what is happening.

Americans are struggling while this orange doofus is chasing headlines.

Kobojunkie:
. Most white people also don't typically have the crowd of traditional/religious folks we have in Nigeria, whose trade is gaslighting victims of abuse into keeping toxic parents close to them. Nigerians are a whole different brand of stewpid, who would minimize other people's trauma so they can claim a miserable win, at least, for their foolish traditional or religious delusions.

No disagreement here.

SeriouslySense:
They raised a heartless Son, just because he went to a foreign land, can a white person come to Africa and do that to his family, we have so much inferiority complex.

Anyway, i dont blame the man, we have built a culture that lacks so much in family bonding and a stable environment, that we worship other environment.

Once i have a stable place in Africa, i dont care about any place , we have so much good, the only disadvantage is our mindset.

I remember that documentary of that girl from west Africa, crying her soul out that we wants to get to Europe , she felt lost in west Africa. If we were more kind, and helpful to ourselves, nobody will have this inferiority complex.

White people turn their back on their family everyday. They will be in the same city and refuse to interact with them.

guobe:
It does not warrant cutting off completely even to your younger ones.haba check am na

What is this "younger ones" nonsense?

They are not his children.

budaatum:
So. You have heard of parents abusing their own children even though on the outside they seem to have treated their child well?

Its not only Nigerian parents or religious people, note.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mwllzzyxlo

We're talking about a Nigerian family here.

budaatum:
Are you claiming you have not heard of parents who abused their own child?

Well, let me attempt to correct that for you without claim its the case here.

https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/c15ww0e818go

https://www.channelstv.com/2025/04/11/father-arrested-for-raping-his-17-year-old-daughter-in-bauchi/

You completely misunderstood what I wrote. I'm very much aware of how abusive Nigerian parents are, especially the religious ones.

SeriouslySense:
But that is extreme, even his parents, and they died without seeing him even on phone, something is wrong with our mindset.

I wasn't in that man's home to know what his parents did or did not do but I have heard many a story over the years from those who appeared to have idyllic childhoods but in truth suffered abuse.

guobe:
Your thoughts are the fairy tale here as less than 1 percent of parents have evil intentions towards the kids they brought to the world.

A lot of Nigerians abuse their own children. You are downplaying the problem.

guobe:
If he sees everyone in his family as toxic then he should be the problem and not the family.

Unfortunately a lot of what Nigerians call "culture" is simply parasitic, many don't realize how bad it is until they leave the country.

I would gather this man has finally found freedom and peace of mind and isn't willing to sacrifice his welbeing for leech-like family members.

Jungle justice is widely condemned in the south, likewise the causes of said justice. The term itself is a pejorative.

This is in no way comparable to the myriad of atrocities that emanate from the north where all manner of ills are tolerated and held up as societal norms.

GreenCovering:
Nobody is trying to Islamise you, focus on your church jor. Islam doesn't need terrorists to appeal to peoples hearts neither are these terrorists helping Islam as well. If anything, they have constituted the major stumbling block to true muslim evangelism.

All religions are despicable. They all require violence to spread.

Why else would people respect stories for which there is no proof?

NairaX:
Honestly, issues like this always come down to perspective. Some people see nationwide prayers as a meaningful step, others feel it doesn’t address the root problems. Both sides have a point.

But instead of attacking each other, it’d be better if everyone focused on the actual issues — insecurity, economy, governance — while still allowing people to practice their faith the way they choose. Nothing stops prayer and practical action from happening at the same time.

Just misplaced priorities. 3rd world country for a reason.

Prayer is yet to solve a single problem in Nigeria, or anywhere for that matter.

That is all these people are saying. It's not an attack to state the truth or to proposu action that might lead to a solution.

Curious345:
Why can't the federal government just concession these airports

Because the amount that you'll end up paying will balloon while quality of service may get worse.

Why are Nigerians suprised every year that places that sit below sea level flood?

acmev2:
Banks have changed. Is there any bank that doesn't suck?

They've always sucked and don't think it's only in Nigeria. The banking system is mankind's biggest racket.

bid4rich:
I talk am.....

That's the goal

But wait!

Does China has the same corrupt mindset that Nigeria politicians have, can you - APC, make law to execute corrupt politicians or sentence them to long term imprisonment either before or now?

I know Ganduje will not be able to answer that question because he will be in first batch

Until you take selfishness out of Nigeria politics, we will NEVER get anywhere.

My take

Not to say that there is no corruption in China because there is plenty but the CCP would have executed a man like Ganduje 100 times already.

yungchop:
They know Nigeria is all talks and no actions na.. as in "na mouth dem get"

They've been getting away with murder all over the world, that's why they behave the way that they do.

If people had any sense they would not use their platforms to begin with.

Psoul:
This is batch one amortization of the loan.
Subsequent batches are coming.
They are monitoring the account.

How can you take a loan without thinking of repaying it?
The worst thing is that most of these people do not take loan to fund investments.
They take loan to fund entertainment.
If you actually takes loan to fund investments, you will try to repay it so that another can be granted to you.

The worst are the ones who take loan to pay tithes.

This man doesn't know how the banking system works.

It has nothing to do with "Nigeria".

If you borrow 100k, they will extract their pound of flesh on top.
