Okay. I see lots of japa posts all over the Nigerian internet space.

Now, I'm wondering...

If you had the ability to earn whatever you wish, how much will you be earning here in Nigeria, that the thoughts of permanently relocating abroad becomes unlucrative?

Enough to share with others without complaining.

Nothing honestly. Even with ten million a month I will move, it will even hasten my plans faster

Top investment bankers making an average of 1m /month, managers in oil companies earning $10000(5m)/month and top programmers earning $60,000/yr(30m) are choosing to leave, and you need to ask why?

1. Firstly, oil workers earning those crazy amounts live in estates with heavy guided security for fear of kidnappers which are long before bandits. So what's the essence of earning this huge amount and being enclosed.

2. Tech guys making that crazy amount are not believed these days as some go as far as stating it's yahoo and face abrupt harassment timely. So why shouldn't we leave?

3. The whole world is a system of immigration. Places like the USA, Canada are all linage traced to immigrant forms. So it's not a crime.

Of you choosing to remain in Nigeria, it's a choice. And if Japa is the goal, still go for it. Let's stop making it a big deal. Nobody owes anybody an explanation. History has shown us what patriotism means in this country.

After all, independence was a result of greed and power and not the true intent of independence. The civil war proved it, and the present-day nepotism.

No matter the amount, I will still move. The country is messed up big time and they are not willing to accept the truth before fixing it up.
Imagine a country where 8yrs is wasted in denial and bloodshed. We have not even completed that phase, they want to repeat the samething again with another ANCESTOR...

5 million Naira monthly will try.

Oh you think people who make high earn income don’t Japa from Naija?Then you are a dreamer.

Security.
Healthcare.
Same environment.
Good governance.

Etc make people japa!
Police brutality and profiling is enough to leave Nigeria.

Imagine you having millions in your bank account and one day,you get kidnapped unfortunately,all the money you have made and saved could be the one you will use to pay ransom.In a twinkle of an eye,you back to square one.

This is not about money. Nigeria is a failed state, and anyone who has the means should japa, not just for his own sake, but his descendants.

Even our leaders do not believe in Nigeria any longer. They all have their plan B. Their children are not even here.

Na insecurity dey make man reason countries like Japan, Switzerland et al, not pay.

You're earning a decent amount that can pay your bills, help others and save some. Why would you ever want to leave to foreign land without family, friends and wallow alone?
Loneliness is bae to abroad people.

Everybody just wan japa

With my 100k salary i dey plan to Japa.

1m per day

300k is okay

Only if Dem dash me political appointment and leave me alone.

I don't plan to leave Nigeria. We die here! Some idiots vote in fellow idiots, we will always be here to attack and insult them.

I cannot imagine going abroad and having a white nonentity see me as someone from a part of the world where people live on mango trees. If I am traveling out, it's for vacation or studies. Afterward, I will quietly return to my shithole country.

10m

No amount of money is worth your security. Nigeria is not safe

I earn about 200k (entrepreneur) per month and even though it's not enough and I'm still struggling, I've never wanted to leave the country even when I was poorer. I've never been convinced to.
I'll rather stay in my fatherland and rough it here

adedehinbo:
300k is okay

Bros, do you mean 300k in $ or naira please?

Strongbest:

seriously,i love being around my family,with that money i can build many businesses

No be who get money dea dream of abroad?

1 million

Chuvin22:
It's not about money for me.

Quality of life.
Conducive environment.
Rational human being.
Progressive society.

The average Nigerian is a hopeless dysfunctional being.

Exactly my point too

Look majority of Nigerians just want to live a peaceful life that's why dj cuppy will rather stay in London than live in vgc or banana island, Nigeria is a hell on earth

No matter the amount, i will still move out of this Godforsaken country called Nigeria

Whoever is not contended here will never make it somewhere.

It's not all about the money. the Nigerian environment is generally toxic for everyone- whether rich, middle class or poor
