2 House maids 20k each, gate man 20k, laundry boy 2k, driver 35k. Police escort, stepping on toes with no consequences, easy access to women and sex without any chance of he raped me story, access to government contracts, access to political power and class, no feminist laws in marriage. The black man is inherently wicked and thrives on wickedness.

While discussing with some buddies yesterday, we touched on the topic “moving back to Nigeria”. I argued that Nigeria is not safe. Sure, there are places that are pretty “safe”. However, my notion of safety is when other people elsewhere can go about their normal activities without fear. For instance, I don’t consider a place safe if one part of the area keeps suffering repeated attacks from Fulani herdsmen (like Southern Kaduna and Plateau). I don’t have to be the affected party, but others who go about their normal activities should feel safe doing them. The other guy countered that, with money, one could enjoy Nigeria. “Live in Maitama, run Lister generator and live quietly.” Also, you get to be in a place where almost everyone looks like you.

Upon hearing “…with money, one can enjoy Nigeria”, I asked him to list five things/ways one can enjoy Nigeria as long as the person has money. Surprisingly, he could not mention one thing/way. I thought it wise to throw it to the house, especially for those who are anti-Japa or those who have stayed abroad for a long time and currently reside in Nigeria.

As someone with money, what exactly does the person enjoy in Nigeria? What are the differences compared to his/her counterpart in say, Namibia or Canada/UK that also has money? How do you enjoy Nigeria provided the money is available?

P.S. I understand that the notion of “enjoyment” is largely subjective. Some enjoy going to parties, while others enjoy travelling around or even reading a book while in a park. But I believe there are some universal notions of enjoyment.

For me, the feeling of "forth class citizens" makes me not to totally support "Japa". My stand and preference is to visit and not runaway totally from your base.

I've been to many countries of the world and I'm not racist, but when I think about how those developed countries enslaved our fore-fathers. The dis-humanity they meted on them, the chains on their neck and feet, the whip lashings....that alone cannot make my mind to support Japa syndrome.

I have all the opportunities to Japa, but with the presence of mind that this is modern day slavery and neo-colonialism at it's best I cannot fully support Japa. Those countries will continue and forever keep us struggling with the support of our elites because they flourish by our people thronging-in.

Their plan is to never allow us have an Identity, because with identity comes liberation, and liberation drives development. So they will do all they can directly or indirectly to keep us as a slave.

I think the biggest thing is immunity ... your money can allow you to operate above the law.... you can basically do what you want to do with no fear of prosecution. Abroad.... no one is above the law ... despitße having money ....... and power. Donald Trump for example .... having sleepless nights right now fearing the possibility of facing criminal charges and staring at up to 20 years behind bars. Freedom for the rich in Nigeria knoweth no boundaries.

Fair points. However, not everyone who japa'd went to the US. So, the student debt of a thing or mass shootings sounds like Greek to a Nigerian settled in the Netherlands. Also, other West African countries or even few in Southern Africa offer almost similar advantages and are very safe when compared to Nigeria. My major issue with Nigeria is insecurity. I don't like a place where the elites aren't doing anything about the insecurity situation even if I am tucked inside Banana Island.
Religious brainwashing, almajirism etc is also to blame, more parents keep indoctrinating their kids by taking them to listen to extremists scholars in mosques. The sultan and Islamic council in Nigeria must root out scholars and imams like Gumi etc, who loves bandits and teaches an extreme, jihadist doctrine of Islam.

1. Connections 2. Respect 3. Honor 4. Privacy 5. Less stress compared to rich men in other countries of the world. All the 5 condition is as long as the rich man is willing to invest heavily in security from armed securities , body guards , bullet proof/bomber proof cars, etc while moving around.

Good question. Even as a relatively comfortable or rich person, quality of life in Nigeria is still pretty low. Security remains an issue and being very comfortable could make you a target, traffic is still a frustration especially if you are in Lagos, electricity is still not 24\7 without generator or inverter, everywhere still looks like slum, filth everywhere etc.

Power that comes with money.

Once you are in a particular bracket, there is literally nothing you cannot get away with.

Las Las na small visit to efcc to drop money and continue misbehaving.

You can get people arrested and locked up and forgotten for the most minor of infarctions

I could insult you on SM and you would have police pick me up, beat me up and lock me up without any charges, to be released at your pleasure

You have unlimited access to young nubile women for a pittance.

You can even sort most of your security - get your 24 hour mopol who will blow siren in traffic bullying every Blawdy civiliannin your way

"Enjoyment" is a thing of the mind. If you think you're suffering, you are. If you think you're having a good time, you are, regardless of the money in your account. That's why you have a lot of people committing suicide in western countries where you think they're enjoying.

There is a difference between the developed countries and 3rd world countries.

3rd world countries are good to relax and enjoy more because they are cheaper to live with small money compared to the developed world.
Most of my captains who are British, Americans, Russians always go to cheaper countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nigeria etc for vacations because they get more value with little dollars they take there.

With 500k per month salary for a family of 4 (husband, wife and 2 kids) in Nigeria for example, you can live in a decent 3 bedroom flat and a better life than someone earning equivalent in abroad.
Building a 3 bedroom bungalow cost less than someone abroad with lesser pressure to work.
Your work rate will be lower to sustain such lifestyle than even someone renting a studio abroad.

There is a reason my abroadians are always calculating their currency to nigeria to come and flex when they come home.
Such money is chicken change over there.
Many guys abroad doing dirty jobs and combining 2 jobs are buying lands in high brow areas in nigeria like Lekki but over there, they are more or less a pauper.

Whatever life you think you flex over there or your standard of living, it cost far far less to do that over here.
Finish


On point.
