Well the reason is not far fetched ,when some Animals we CO habit with in Nigeria are still all clamouring to return evil APC to power after all we have been through . a litre of fuel is 280 , gas 900,rice 1500. No light yet bills kept coming , Street link road are very dusty right now in so many places across the nation's .
Bro it's like living in Hell and all we keep getting here in APC renewed Hope . if u can stand it some people can't

I laughed when he said an affordable country like Switzerland...dude doesn't know what he is saying. Care to explain the de-industrialisation part?

KwaraRat:


Switzerland is darn expensive. Too many Jews !

Finland is also damn expensive with very high tax rates and high cost of living.

Brussels is the HQ of the EU . No need to talk more on this and how moving there is a waste.

The only sensible place to move to in Europe is Germany but its now facing an imminent and permanent de industrialiaztion that will bring it down to Poland poor status.

Europe is a no go area and I will strongly advice against it.

Australia, New Zealand and Canada all have Marxists in power and these countries are quickly sliding into shithole status.

I will even suggest Vietnam or Thailand with that kind of money they are wasting to go to the JewK and start a small tourist bar.

The most unfortunate thing is that majority of the people running away from Nigeria as a result of failed government of Buhari and APC are still planning to vote APC before they leave, and even deceiving their family and friends that a walking dead man with too many scandals (age, names, parenthood, state of origin, educational background, source of wealth) is the right person to correct the humongous mistakes of APC government of today angry




Any Nigerian planning to japa and still supporting APC to remain in power beyond June 2023, my sincere prayer for you is that whichever country you are migrating to, may you and your family witness the same progress Nigerians in Nigeria are witnessing under APC. May the forces of nature serve you the same good leadership Buhari and APC served Nigerians in that new country you are running to angry

A resounding Amen!

Team JAPA are among the lazy and irrational citizens. I wonder why many don’t think of the reason why they found themeselves to be citizens of Nigeria.

JAPA mentality IMO you have no plan to influence your nation or your society, it appears you’re not in tune with the purpose of your existence but only focused on your personal interest.

We’ve been lied to that life is what we felt it is when actually it’s extremely the opposite of what we’ve been told.

Don’t be surprised that citizens of civilized countries are tied of their country just as we’re tied too. Strict laws we don’t follow here, you’ll get there and comport yourself meanwhile, their citizens are tied of such laws cause they know some countries are lawless.

Wow, humanity on the run to nowhere when nothing is chasing them but themselves and they lament it’s life.
This money for relocation is enough to set up a micro enterprise to meet the fast growing population in Nigeria / Neighboring African country, with a plan for upgrade of the business as the cash flow increases. There is no free launch any where in the world. Africa has a lot of gap and opportunities to be filled and harnessed. All the same relocation is good with respective individual evaluation of the opportunities and risk.
For every thing in life, there is time and season for every one, so it is always good to get prepared for the opportunities.

My advise is that individual should relocate on personal reasons and not because your close friend or family member has travelled to the UK or Canada, The case varies and individual potentials, opportunities and luck varies.

A family of 4 that have truly "Japa" to the UK knows your total initial cost is highly exaggerated for the popular one-year masters.

1. School fees can be paid at an official rate (less than 500 nairas) and some schools require a 2k or 5k pounds deposit. This drops the tuition deposit to about 1m to 2.5m. If I assume a 5k deposit, it saves 2m nairas compared to yours.

2. For proof of funds (in interest), you need tuition balance + living expenses. Most school tuition is less than 13,000 pounds, and there are schools with less than 10000 pounds tuition. If you deposit 5000 pounds (2.5m nairas) for a 13,000-pound school, you will need about 8000 pounds (4m nairas) more for the tuition balance. You will also need 29,000 pounds for living expenses for a family of 4 outside London. (29,000+8000) pounds= 37,000 pounds (about 17.5m naira). At 3.5% interest, 17.5m naira will yield 612,500 naira. Saves about 1.9 million nairas compared to yours.


To-be continued..

All the best.!

The whole migration thing is being pushed by Jews for one reason only: Lower the living standards of the west.

In the JewK, wages for doctors and nurses has seen a drastic fall since the JewK began offering automatic jobs to third world medical practitioners.

A decade ago, it wasn't unusual for a doctor to earn 6 figures in the US. Today , the wage rate has fallen sharply to a fraction of what use to be the case owing to a flood of migrant doctors from India and Nigeria.

These doctors whose continued stay in the US is linked to their employment to a medical company were the ones that did not dare to raise any objections to the now discredited covid treatment protocols that killed more patients than the disease itself.

With more of the third world moving in, wages will fall and so will the living standards thereby making it much easier to impose a universal currency on the world.

What do I mean by the above ? To roll out a single global currency that will be used in New York and Ouagadougou, the living standards must be equalized between the west and third world. Since they won't want to improve the standard of living for poor countries, they can easily reduce that of the west.

This is why we had covid, lockdowns, deliberate economic implosion, supply chain crisis, the war in Ukraine and its devastating impacts on global energy, fertilizer and food costs owing to sanctions on Russia.

Moving to the west, is enabling Jewish Globo Homo.

You will make a ton of money operating a bar in the tourist areas.

No be money be the final goal ?

There are Europeans and Americans that own bars and clubs in places like Bali, Indonesia , Thailand and Vietnam.

Cost of doing business is low, the society is law abiding and tourists flock there with foreign currency. Its like doing business in a working Nigeria.

Stop thinking of being a wage slave . Be a business owner. Only thing Osus have going for themselves which I respect.

Not true. Go and ask business owners how far. People who own cold room, hotes e.t.c most business needs power, but there is no electticity and the price of gas is #900 per litre

True it dey sup big time for here oooo, on another note, for anyone who wants to do business in nigeria in the future, try and avoid like Ebola any business in nigeria that involves power ( electricity ) Instead focus on ones that dont need power although these businesses may look boring and not so glamorous, So businesses such as Cement depot, Iron rod mini depot, Beer distubution business or mini depot, primary or secondary school etc buying and selling generally

Sometimes once you set up a business and the first thing you have to do is buy a diesel mikano gen in order to run the business, na so where problem dey start ooo

sometimes the other types of businesses i have highlighted above generally survive every economic climate nigeria throws at them even when dollars becomes 2000 naira to 1 dollar. Most hotels and cold rooms dont and wont survive such

This explains why back in the days some car dealers were just smiling to the bank anyhow, cos where they parked thier cars for sale didnt need power or anything to run it. But that changed now cos the internet has made everyone a car dealer.

Also Creche, and a post nursery and primary school ( is an underrated business in nigeria ). For the middle class who for some reason never leave nigeria, they always have good money to pay for thier kids or nursery or primary school education .

We would leave the discussion here for no w

While your views maybe true in some school of thought, it is certainly not for other school of thoughts.

I will share my own mind about this japa thing and it has its pros and cons. Starting with the cons, yes, it is costly however what's more costly is the bleak hope that hovers around this country that they can dash at any time T. Also is the uncertainty that comes with it but it's better trying than not trying at all. Ofcourse, japa comes with alot of challenges like every other choices in life but it all becomes a worthy investment if you get it right.

I have seen alot of people make progress between the time they left and today compared to many who stayed back within that time frame. An example is a friend who happens to a doctor has been struggling to conclude his PHD because of the various anomaly peculiar to our society while his friend that started out together and had the opportunity to japa,has achieved far more between the span of three years that he traveled. That my doctor friend as I type this doesn't even know when he will be called to make his research presentation currently and he has been at it for years now, a problem not of his own making but the system.

Out there, system works. Hardworking and brilliance is recognized and rewarded, not to mention the random act of kindness experienced there against the pull down syndrom mentalitywe have here. Here, na person know person technique we have been deploying and it's getting us know nowhere. Even now that opportunity is around to elect credible leaders, some mentally deranged evil doers are still supporting rogues and corrupt emperors who have nothing to say but balablue and who knows what's up their sleeves cos I won't ignore the fact that they can hijack the elections and make people's vote not count since they have done it before. I can't just seem to comprehend it. Whereas those rogues and corrupt emperor's children have this foreign access that we criticising today.

As for me, it is all about creating options for myself. In a country like ours, if you can afford it, have a second citizenship. The option to move freely within my nationalities where one is just messing up. It doesn't imply I give up on them, no it's about putting on a life jacket so I don't drown with them when they making their stupid choices and decisions.
Na you get sense pass, not all these pseudo "intelligentsia"
My stand on Nigeria is this: the country is good, is only the leaders that are evil! In time, may be in generations, bad leaders will not be an issue anymore, Nigeria will move pass it!

Please can you explain how a family of 4 need
25M. A friend of mine with a family of 4 showed only 19m. The statement of account was 28 days not two to three months. Do you mind to clarify?
QuinModah:
Last Friday, I hugged one of my most impressive colleagues goodbye. He turned away, sobbing. I turned away with voice quaking, realizing what a big loss he would be.

Later that evening, I had another get-together with a second friend who relocates this week. While discussing his massive expense, he suddenly slouched in his chair, stressfully squeezed the empty ragolis bottle in his hands and concluded:

"Oremi, this relocation has cost me almost everything"
"You don’t want to know!" He further sighed "You don’t."

Today, with the help and data from three (3) relocating friends, I compile the rough cost (below) for prospective relocating families (focus on UK) and a poem for my friend and Nigeria:

Cost of Japa from Nigeria for a family of 4= 180k
Renewal of Passport
Official rate 22k
Accelerated rate 45k
Some pay as high as 75k

Transcript 75k
Usually, one parent is a student
30-45k for school runs
25-30k to send

Estimated Tuition fee deposit
11,000-18,000-pound sterling
4.5m most schools want 50% deposit

Proof of fund (In deposit)
Family of 4 need 25m in deposited in an accoun 2-3 months

UK Visa 1.4m
Family of 4 pay 475-pound sterling

NHF
Family of 4 pay 875-pound sterling

Flight ticket 2.8m
Depending on booking
700k person x4
Some have booked as high as 1.2m

Arrival Accommodation 4.4m
1st Month shortlet 200-pound sterling per week
refundable deposit of 250 pound
First 6 months at 750 pounds

Total Cost 19m for family of four to UK not Canada or US. It can be cheaper or more


Oremi, I hope we meet again,
as you japa to find fresh grain,
to return if Nigeria again reigns?
God, will any leader ever end this drain?
But prayers will be in vain,
if in 2023, unwisely we vote again.

God bless everyone who has relocated. God bless everyone staying behind. God bless #Nigeria.

The WEF wants China as the sole industrial and military power.

The war in Ukraine has Germany and Russia in the cross hairs.

The Atlantiicists will do everything to sabotage any German Russian economic alliance .

Germany being the real global capital of industrialization and Russia the richest resource nation on earth.

The British have been at the forefront stoking divisions and any alliance between these countries for fear that any alliance will become impossible to defeat.

The US/UK bombing of Nordstream pipeline was to both weaken German industry and her energy dependence on Russia.

Things have gone from bad to worse. I'm not saying those who Japa did not vote or support the party or government that put Nigeria in this mess or are better Nigerians but Nigeria is not worth dying for anymore. I loved Nigeria so so much but Buhari came and showed me or should I say opened my eyes entity called Nigeria is a scam. If the law can allow a president say 5% and be so biased and take sides with one side of the country more and fight for or support an ethnic group or one part of the country so glaringly.

Justice is almost non existence. God is the major avenger. Killings and kidnapping on them rise and FG cannot even crush bandits in a bush.

Public schools have almost collapsed. ASUU strike took place and FG no shake or care.

No refinery and Minister of petrol is okay with it for 8 years.

Corruption is almost taking over

Guy if you can Japa. Ppl many still want to vote APC, why? They are not thinking of Nigeria but their selfish interest.

Guys Japa no easy but Japa if you can.

If I am killed in Nigeria the chances of my killers being caught and facing justice is very slim.

If I Japa I am fully aware I break the law do the time or get deported. Many Nigerians behave sane and civilized and obey. No be like NAIJA you break the law and can go away with it.

Rape or touch a lady's bum na jail abroad ooo. No I beg or bribe.

But I'm in a country where things work and the leaders want things to work.

"Oremi, this relocation has cost me almost everything"
"You don’t want to know!" He further sighed "You don’t."

Today, with the help and data from three (3) relocating friends, I compile the rough cost (below) for prospective relocating families (focus on UK) and a poem for my friend and Nigeria:

Cost of Japa from Nigeria for a family of 4= 180k
Renewal of Passport
Official rate 22k
Accelerated rate 45k
Some pay as high as 75k

Transcript 75k
Usually, one parent is a student
30-45k for school runs
25-30k to send

Estimated Tuition fee deposit
11,000-18,000-pound sterling
4.5m most schools want 50% deposit

Proof of fund (In deposit)
Family of 4 need 25m in deposited in an accoun 2-3 months

UK Visa 1.4m
Family of 4 pay 475-pound sterling

NHF
Family of 4 pay 875-pound sterling

Flight ticket 2.8m
Depending on booking
700k person x4
Some have booked as high as 1.2m

Arrival Accommodation 4.4m
1st Month shortlet 200-pound sterling per week
refundable deposit of 250 pound
First 6 months at 750 pounds

Total Cost 19m for family of four to UK not Canada or US. It can be cheaper or more


Oremi, I hope we meet again,
as you japa to find fresh grain,
to return if Nigeria again reigns?
God, will any leader ever end this drain?
But prayers will be in vain,
if in 2023, unwisely we vote again.

God bless everyone who has relocated. God bless everyone staying behind. God bless #Nigeria.

What if the wife is a nurse relocating to work in UK. Is the N25m bank deposit compulsory?

Team JAPA are among the lazy and irrational citizens. I wonder why many don’t think of the reason why they found themeselves to be citizens of Nigeria.

JAPA mentality IMO you have no plan to influence your nation or your society, it appears you’re not in tune with the purpose of your existence but only focused on your personal interest.

We’ve been lied to that life is what we felt it is when actually it’s extremely the opposite of what we’ve been told.

Don’t be surprised that citizens of civilized countries are tied of their country just as we’re tied too. Strict laws we don’t follow here, you’ll get there and comport yourself meanwhile, their citizens are tied of such laws cause they know some countries are lawless.

Wow, humanity on the run to nowhere when nothing is chasing them but themselves and they lament it’s life.
This money for relocation is enough to set up a micro enterprise to meet the fast growing population in Nigeria / Neighboring African country, with a plan for upgrade of the business as the cash flow increases. There is no free launch any where in the world. Africa has a lot of gap and opportunities to be filled and harnessed. All the same relocation is good with respective individual evaluation of the opportunities and risk.
For every thing in life, there is time and season for every one, so it is always good to get prepared for the opportunities.

My advise is that individual should relocate on personal reasons and not because your close friend or family member has travelled to the UK or Canada, The case varies and individual potentials, opportunities and luck varies.

A family of 4 that have truly "Japa" to the UK knows your total initial cost is highly exaggerated for the popular one-year masters.

1. School fees can be paid at an official rate (less than 500 nairas) and some schools require a 2k or 5k pounds deposit. This drops the tuition deposit to about 1m to 2.5m. If I assume a 5k deposit, it saves 2m nairas compared to yours.

2. For proof of funds (in interest), you need tuition balance + living expenses. Most school tuition is less than 13,000 pounds, and there are schools with less than 10000 pounds tuition. If you deposit 5000 pounds (2.5m nairas) for a 13,000-pound school, you will need about 8000 pounds (4m nairas) more for the tuition balance. You will also need 29,000 pounds for living expenses for a family of 4 outside London. (29,000+8000) pounds= 37,000 pounds (about 17.5m naira). At 3.5% interest, 17.5m naira will yield 612,500 naira. Saves about 1.9 million nairas compared to yours.


To-be continued..
All the best.!
Peace

Wait till a sickness turns you to a pauper, or 1 year strike turns your 4 year course into a 5 year course. Nigerians are wasting away by just being Nigerians. Productivity is under and moving from point a to b in almost everything in this country is riddled with corruption!!!
