What Scares You The Most About Relocating Abroad? by youngsahito(m): 8:07am On Dec 30, 2022
Some Nigerians are very superstitious when it comes to Japa affairs. Some are afraid of being in an environment whose language they don’t understand while some are scared of the cost of living and some are uncomfortable about their safety in their new location.

Let’s talk, what scares you the most about relocating abroad?

Losing one’s identity! The question usually is put: Who are you? Where are you from?

These points have come up a fair bit in some of those 'japa' threads. So I guess some people are scared of the following:

- Racism

- Starting a menial job from scratch when they have top qualifications

- Losing their identity

- Not being able to get away with delinquency since you are not above the law, no matter how rich you are

- Not being able to get away with matrimonial misconduct against your wife

- Lack of cheap labour

- Being lonely (Nigeria is a communal society, some of these places are more individualistic)

- Not as easy to meet women/men

- Investment in the japa with no worthwhile returns

Starting over from the scratch, except you have a job waiting for you .

Loneliness.

Racism (Directly or subtly).

Nigeria FOODS.

Basically, leaving everything and everyone behind

• W.H.O mandates e.g get the Toxic spike protein covid Vaccines or lose your job etc.

• Climate Change policies e.g Netherlands have seized farmlands of 3000 farmers and euthanized (killed) majority of cows because cows are causing climate change.

• Countries implementing the Social Credit System and those looking to do so like China, Canada, New Zealand etc.

• Engineered scarcity of fuel, famine and cost of living.

Mostly all countries that are compliant to W.E.F's goals and mandates
