₦airaland Forum

If there is one thing I have discovered about the japa threads on Nairaland is the uniting concept behind the vocal naysayers - they support APC, Tinubu and are Agbadorians at heart. Some of them can be listed below:

Sukkot: A British citizen living somewhere in Lekki. He is constantly against people relocating to abroad, especially to the UK. He has been caught misstating facts about living in the US. Why is yet to give up his British citizenship and remain with only Nigerian citizenship is befuddling.

MT: A Nigerian-American who worked/works in the oil industry and left the country to the US. He realised he was shortchanged in Nigeria and had to leave. Today, he is at the forefront of dissuading young and ambitious Nigerians from relocating. He also supports APC.

FSBoperator2: Only God knows the bush this clown is living in when he stated, "Australia and New Zealand are fvckd beyond repair”. I strongly doubt he knows how the interior of an aircraft is before making such a statement. https://www.nairaland.com/7772646/good-morning-version-peter-obi/1#124664609 A statement even British, Swiss, Japanese and Chinese would not dare make. Someone in one bush is chanting online.

GeneralPula: Every frequent Nairalander knows this handle as one of the defenders of anything APC and Tinubu. But here is he chanting, “don’t relocate”.

GeneralPula:
You have no need to travel bro..
Find better apartment for Island and be living your life..

Seatrade: Another one known for trading that supports anything Tinubu and APC.

Klass99: She is a fervent supporter of the Agbado-in-chief, but will write convincingly on why you should not relocate.

Don’t get me wrong, everyone has the right to support whatever party of politician. Heck, I already stated here that Peter Obi cannot win the election (https://www.nairaland.com/7225545/why-peter-obi-step-down). However, judging from the APC's actions before and after the elections, I am very wary of people who support the party and discourage japa. I am curious, why aren’t you people (APC supporters) glad that these people are leaving? Shouldn’t you be happy? Yes, they are selling their lands and houses, but are these not opportunities for you people to buy everything? Why are you people displaying witchcraft? The most annoying and cruel witchcraft are those with strong passports yet dissuade others from attempting to obtain theirs.

Like I have stated:

Gerrard59:
Anyone who does not know this is a profound ignoramus, no ifs or buts. Those who know it but intentionally dissuade or discourage others from doing it are wicked and barbaric. There are many of them here, from Red.sun (who has been in the UK for donkey years) to Suk.kot (who is a British citizen) to 1Sh.aron (another British citizen) to my favourite - Dasparrow - a woman who loathes Nigerians and in particular Nigerian men. Hers is even crueller as she relocated from the west to Nigeria, hated what she experienced and fled to a no-name country in Central America. What does she do on Nairaland? Internet Witchcraft! She dissuades and tells young and ambitious Nigerians not to relocate abroad. What she does not say is that she has not let go of her European citizenship. Another one is Egun.Mogajji, who is an American citizen and a proud serial divorcee that stays somewhere in Ibadan and married a 20-something year lady. He constantly preaches that you should not bother having a second passport, but he has one and even his first daughter studies at Stanford as an American citizen. What about Nairaland's richest brostitute? Seat.rade, who with his previous moniker, mocked diasporans only for him to create a thread disguising that his friend wants to know how to obtain American citizenship. https://www.nairaland.com/6742025/citizenship-investment-canada-usa#105611566 No wonder he is lurking around Covenant University or Babcock to grab a girl from an upper-middle-class family (hoping that she is a dual citizen), even though his character befits women from IMSU or Oko Polytechnic.

Additionally, THERE IS NO NIGERIAN ELITE WHO DOES NOT HAVE A SECOND CITIZENSHIP OR CHILDREN ARE PREPPED TO OBTAIN ONE Apart from skit makers who are new in the game, no notable comedian's wife birthed in Nigeria. ALL gave birth in the US, thereby making their children Americans. The same applies to musicians. It is the reason I am pissed when wicked misfits constantly vagabond this section opening their smelly mouth waaaaaa chanting that young people should not japa. You mean like Akin Alabi who hustled in the UK? Don Jazzy, who did the same? DBanj, whose dad is an ex-military officer that did the same? Mike Adenuga, who rode taxi in the US? What about Banky W whose mom worked in ExxonMobil, gave birth to him in the US and he studied at Corona Schools, the same school Osibanjo studied? Only for him to come and lie that his parents struggled, which is why they rented a flat in Yaba during the '70s. You mean the same Yaba that was home to the then middle class? Or him being a Nigerian-American married to Adesuwa, a British-Nigerian? Or his friend, the pilot, a Canadian-Nigerian who is married to Toolz, daughter of the Oniru of Lekki, who is a British-Nigerian? Or her friend Stephanie Coker, a British-Nigerian, who is married to the younger brother of the co-founder of GTB, who too is a British-Nigerian? Or Mo Abudu who is a American/British-Nigerian and son studied at Duke University? Or her erstwhile employee presenter Zainab Balogun, another British-Nigerian who married an American-Nigerian? Or the other erstwhile employee I used to crush on - Cynthia Kamalu, who married a Nigerian-American? Or Iyin Aboyeji, whose wife is an American citizen, and father worked at ExxonMobil and whose sister studied in the UK? Or Hakeem-Bello, whose daughter studied at Harvard and Stanford and ALL members of his family are dual nationals between the UK and US? Or Nnamdi Kanu who is a British-Nigerian? Or Sunday Igboho who is a German citizen or Sowore who is an American citizen?

C'mon!

There is no Nigerian elite, dead or alive, that does not or did not have a second passport to ease travel whether for leisure or business or academic-related events. I have stated it recently that visa free access is hinged on wealth not race. The reason the olodos on Twitter think it is race is that sub-Saharan Africa is home to the largest number of black people, and as a result, many black Africans are denied visas. Even at that, citizens from countries like Namibia, Botswana, South Africa and even far-flung black-dominated places like Bahamas, Bermuda and Barbados don't face similar scrutiny as their contemporaries in sub-Saharan Africa. Have you seen African Americans complained that they were denied visas because of their skin colour? Are they not black people too? But woke olodos on Twitter don't understand simple economics, the reason they spend time chanting and whining that bOrDeRs ArE rAcIsT. As if they would offer unfettered access to a poor black stranger instead of Elon Musk. Except you want to have hope that sub-Saharan countries would be as rich as Malaysia before her citizens begin to enjoy visa-free travel.

As for returning to Nigeria, trust me, many would return. One reason many would return is the weather. The new wave of emigres lived in the tropics for at least 25 years, so it won't be easy to adjust to temperate climates. My friend in Canada complains about the same thing. She told me clearly "once I attain citizenship status and the passport, G59, I am out of this place". Again, the vast majority of Nigerian elites once worked or studied abroad. From Tayo who is Paga CEO (has American citizenship) to Segun Agbaje who also studied and worked in the US to Emi Lokan and many many others. What about Okechukwu Enelamah who studied Medicine at UNN and did his MBA at Harvard? He co-founded African Capital Alliance, Nigeria's first private equity firm. Ibe Kachikwu nko? Studied Law at UNN and went to Harvard for his MSc and PhD? There is even one I used to admire who studied at Cambridge University and started his consulting business in Lagos. He, too, just like his contemporaries, is a British-Nigerian. One might say Northern elites don't do the same. That is a very big fat lie! Which child of any Northern elite studied in Nigeria? Sanusi's children studied in the UK ditto for El-Rufai's. What about Buhari? He claimed to be poor before the 2015 elections. However, ALL his children studied in the UK. Do poor people's children study in the UK? Esp when they did not attend top schools that have lot of scholarships to offer? Let's not even go to the south, where Amaechi's son is in Canada or Okorocha's son who finished from University of Manchester?

The effects of having a second and, most importantly, a strong passport cannot be over-emphasised. To buttress it, before 2010, Nigerians could travel to 76 countries without obtaining a visa. Ten years later, it plunged to 46. What do the next ten years hold? DrCheif on Twitter narrated his experience when he visited one African country. Upon the usual show me your passport, he showed the official a Nigerian passport. Even though it is visa-free for Nigerians (e fit don change sef), the official dilly-dallied. As time was going, Cheif brought out his American passport and showed the official. What did the official say? "You should have brought this out in the first place". Today, Cheif stays in Ghana. I have met a Belgian-Swiss missionary who has only applied for visa once and that was when she visited Benin Republic. She was confused about how to apply for a visa because prior to that, she had never done it. Also, the woman who owned the travel agency I bought my ticket through has travelled to over 80 countries, including places where black people are very few. Her parents migrated to study in the US, gave birth to her and siblings and returned to Nigeria. Today, all her siblings are American citizens and ditto their children. But she stays in Nigeria because she likes it there. No harm feelings. However, unlike the witches and wizards here, she encourages young people to do the same and take advantage of the opportunities. In life, always seek for more options as those with options have more opportunities. There are even foreign politicians that are tri-nationals.

Also, the aspect of entrepreneurship sef. Except for very few folks who are mostly in tech (most studied in top schools or had rich backgrounds), the most successful entrepreneurs started their businesses after working for some years. It is only in Nigeria I have read that young graduates should start their businesses even if it is POS or cyber-cafe or selling 1kg of gas. Elsewhere, young people work in companies (co)-founded by people who have worked and honed their skills elsewhere. That is how it is done. While there, you gain expertise, knowledge and network. You can decide to return to Nigeria, nobody will stop you. The Paga CEO did it after studying at two top universities, the most recent being Stanford for his MBA. PayStack folks worked for almost ten years before setting up theirs. But the online miscreants in the programming section believe anyone who knows how to type "Hello Word" should open a tech firm to create the next fAcEbOoK. Bloody olodos! Nevertheless, very few people will become entrepreneurs as there are more employees everywhere than employers, regardless of what the ignoramuses who learnt elementary economics by standing near the windows during their SS1-SS3 stages parrot. So, in the nearest future, many of your bosses will be those who did Express Entry or submitted Proof of Funds.

In summary, there is literally a straight line between someone who is constantly and consistently anti-relocation and the person being a supporter of APC and anything Tinubu. At this point, the bond seems to be unbreakable. If you must seek advice regarding relocation, always pay close attention to certain monikers and their posts.

Ordinarily they are helping your life but you love making terrible decision like picking third class Philosophy graduate of Nssuka over Business Administration and Accounting honors Chicago State University graduate

You sell your father's house land and property to Europe, to work menial job and pay bills and rent saving little, till you are fustrated to join Drug and Fruad... Sooner than later you get arrested

Waow, you are this NOT busy with your life to be keeping track of names and their records . You must be proud of your achievement.

Anyone that airs his opinion contrary to yours must be your enemy. I wonder the nature of people that form your inner circle wherever you are based.

You were so hurt with the "Japa thread", you hurriedly went to open another thread and link it to APC. How childish can you be?

Read wide. Pursue good education. Understand basic economics, then you will be able to interprete Government policies. Half education is horrible.

Run with whatever you like. The quality of your post daily expose how ignorant you are. A cynic, who hates anyone who doesn't share your hollow worldview.

Learn to discuss issues objectively instead of exposing your folly to the world. Respect other people's choices and views. Stop the bitterness in your heart and grow up.

You’ve said it all comrade..

Headless mob don’t know how to be objective!

Former President Buhari said this in his first speech to Nigerians on taking office in Dec 1983 -

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/features-and-interviews/183847-from-the-archive-buharis-first-speech-as-nigerias-military-head-of-state-in-december-1983.html?tztc=1

This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future generations, have no country other than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together. May God bless us all.

It's an ideology, a patriotic imperative.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

You don't have work

My best friend that is a core APC supporter Infact the has a Facebook page dedicated to Tinubu, recently left for UK. Most of them are just bloody hypocrites that will move the moment they get the opportunity.

Klass99:
Kindly leave me out of your ramblings, nonsense and stupidity. You don't know jack about me, my personal beliefs, values or ideologies.

Yes, I admire and respect President Tinubu because him and his predecessors (Lateef Jakande, Mobolaji Johnson, etc) made Lagos State an enabling and empowering environment where I could migrate to, from my home state to make and earn a living.

Lagos State has been good and favourable to me. I have thrived and flourished in this state through different work opportunities, training opportunities and the human resources, I've been exposed to. Opportunities and experiences which I cherish and appreciate. If my state governors (past and present) had done what Jagaban and his predecessors did in Lagos, I wouldn't be here and I never would have left my home state in the first place, in search of a productive and meaningful life.

Is there anything wrong with applauding one of the men (Jagaban) who has contributed to a meaningful life for me? Some of you who run your dirty mouths waaaa on this forum insulting him day and night, were or are in the same boat as me. You left your home states for Lagos, you have reasonably done well in Lagos, better than you could have ever done in your states, yet you lack basic courtesy and respect for the man and his achievements. Is he your mate?

Why don't you guys move back to your home states or better still move to Peter Obi's Anambra State and see if you can achieve what you have in Lagos or if your lives will be any better in those places. The only person practising witchcraft here is you with this bullshit thread of yours. I gave someone candid advice on what I honestly thought would benefit him more, without ulterior motives on my part, based on what he shared and you create a shallow thread tagging me in it.

FYI, I don't have political affiliations with the APC, PDP or any political party. If I am impressed by the actions/achievements of a person or persons, I will applaud them and not concern myself about what political party they belong to. I am not pro -japa or anti-japa, either, I am a japa with sense kind of person and I don't need to explain myself to you.

Is this really about me supporting Jagaban? Or is this about the fact that I admired and applauded Sukkot for keeping his cool and maintaining a respectful attitude, when you and others were unjustifiably rude/insulting to him, on a thread people were engaging respectfully with playful banter, until you showed up with your vile and nasty attitude. Were you pained because of that post about Sukkot? Because I recall you quoted me even when I wasn't talking to you, so now you feel the need to lump me in with people you don't like. Don't choke on your own bile towards others

Please respect yourself and stay in your lane! If you suffer from an inferiority complex where you believe the white man's land and things are better I DON'T. I am also in a very foul mood today, don't make me take it out on you.

Hmmmmmmm

Tinubu didn't do shit in Lagos sha. Op doesn't live in Lagos and has never lived in Lagos.

Klass99:
You are entitled to your opinion the same way I am. I don't care where the OP lives either it is none of my business.

He is the one jobless enough and who cares enough like a busybody, to know who lives in US, Lekki, who has a British passport or Trinidad passport.

Do you see me creating nonsensical threads about other people's lives, personal views or public opinions?



Emma what is it? I have said my own piece, truth and reality.

Just surprised to see you in a bad mood today.
Don't think have ever seen you in such before

Learn to ignore na. Tinubu, Gbaja, Dapo Abiodun, Adeleke, Omo Agege, Ibori and many other APC politicians japa at some point before coming back. If i see chance i will come back to collect appointment or contract

Common SHARAPP there! I support the Poster this time around, you're an Agbado supporter

Tinubu didn't do anything in Lagos, I grew up in Lagos from the 80s till today I reside in Ghana. He came in 1999 where he continued from Marwa's work in Lagos. He rode upon Marwa's already completed work.

From 1996 to 1999 Marwa was Military Governor of Lagos State. During his administration, he implemented programs such as "Operation 250 Roads" which greatly improved motoring conditions. He revamped public health institutions, and ensured that free malaria treatment that was available to all.

This belief that anyone who criticises Tinubu means the person lives in Lagos or the person supports Peter Obi is quite stoopid. I have stayed in Lagos only once and that was because of NYSC. After I was done, I moved back to my parent's home state, none of which is even located anywhere near Lagos. You should be proud of the brutish tribalism associated with your Agbado-in-chief and his policies so far.

Be proud of him.

As for living in the white man's land, as I do say, better to reside with racists in a prosperous land than with tribalists in the world's poverty capital.

It's funny how people you think are bright think.

This is why you don't let anyone control your destiny sha.

Abeg, drag anybody you want, but leave Klass for me. I am surprised to see Ceetrade on your list. I doubt his own has anything to do with Tinubu. He has always been anti-japa.

I hope you realise that people have been living in this Lagos since the 70s-80s before Jagaban left his drug business in Chicago?

Lagos was Nigeria's capital city for over 70 years. Just putting it out there for the GenZs.

and by the way, [OP], it's perfectly okay for people who support a ruling government in power to encourage others to stay back in Nigeria. Would you rather have them encourage japa after voting a fraud??

I would be more surprised to see them run away post-election! Whoever encourages you to stay in Nigeria with valid reasons obviously loves the country.

Your last paragraph is so on point. With the former, your safety and health is guaranteed, with the latter, I don't think.

Acidosis:
I hope you realise that people have been living in this Lagos since the 70s-80s before Jagaban left his drug business in Chicago?

Lagos was Nigeria's capital city for over 70 years. Just putting it out there for the GenZs.

@Acidosis,
Get your facts clear here so that others are NOT misled.

It is Lagos Island, NOT Lagos State that was the administrative capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991.

Lagos State ONLY came into existence for the first time on May 27, 1967 when General Yakubu Gowon created the Lagos State and 11 other new states for the indigenes. 95 percent (Ijebuland and Aworiland) of the total land area of today's Lagos State was carved out from what is now Ogun State (the lands were then located in the Old Western Region) in 1967. The bearded young rebel in the Eastern Region and his gang rejected the 12 new states creation and declared secession 3 days later.


Last but NOT least, the second to the last highly defamatory paragraph that you carelessly wrote up there will get you into deep trouble! There is no absolute freedom anywhere in the world to defame and mislead others. I remember I once cautioned you about some of the highly toxic posts you make online. There is NO anonymity online and you can and will be brought to justice in the court of law for criminal defamation of character.

I detest toxic people who act as wet blankets by projecting their negativity and insecurities towards others.

Tainted pikins

The election really did damage. one of my long time friends (I’m talking primary school) is even in APC as a politician . Small girl oh. She just entered politics so that she can work her way up to contest in the near future. I can’t blame her because that’s the party where she could find support and people to take her seriously being so young. But we just don’t discuss politics to avoid heavy feelings and harsh words. I’ve learned some things are best left alone because people really get deep in their feelings when beliefs and politics are involved. But man it was something when the votes were being counted. Ha
