Nice write up!

this is in response to this post that made front page today: https://www.nairaland.com/7834477/japa-fever-among-nigerian-youths


story 1:
i had an uncle who always complained about his job.
he worked in an oil company.
he told me to pursue my dreams (i used to be a music producer in the university) and how life is not all about making money
he complained he didn't have time for his family and how we wishes he could spend time with his children
he complained about how he's underpaid compared to expatriates
he complained so much, we (the family) actually had pity on him
long story short, we had an insider in the company (from our church) who told us,
my uncle was the person blocking my elder brother from getting a job in same company
he (the insider) was shocked we were related to him (my uncle)
he called our uncle in my fathers presence, who told him: do you want that small boy to overtake me in the family
my uncle didn't know the phone was on speaker!!!
this was 2008.


its easy for a beautiful girl with so many rich suitors to tell her 'not so fine' friends with only one suitor life is not about marriage
its easy for a rich person to tell a broke person life is not about money
its easy for someone in canada/US/europe to tell you in Nigeria the grass isn't greener abroad

someone who doesn't buy fuel for gen,
someone who doesn't sleep with multiple lecturers for marks in the university
someone who isn't slapped, abused and insulted in the hospital (like it happens in teaching hospitals in Nigeria)
SHOULD NOT TELL NIGERIANS ANYTHING ABOUT RELOCATING ABROAD

nobaga:
I have never met anyone anywhere who feels they are so entitled to what others have as Nigerians. Only to JAPA and exhibit the same behavior in foreign lands. They think japa is their Human Right but staying in your village and making it livable is your curse.

It reminds me of that popular story about the man who visited heaven and found it boring. When he visited hell, he found it exciting. So the day he died he went to hell only to find out the day he visited was propaganda day to recruit suckers for punishment.

Africa is heaven. This is why some, actually
a few Europeans, Americans and Asians rush there to make money as long as they can hold their noses. There are Africans, especially Nigerians willing to sell and fry their brains for peanuts so that foreigners can make millions and billions out of them.

How many decent New Yorkers, Londoners, In Taiwan, China or Russia know anything beyond the blocks in their cities or rush out as Africans do?

Except on a mission to explore, baptize, colonize mumus, hypnotize and run laughing to the banks.

Amechi said we stole because you do not stone us!

Stay home and face what you encourage, voted blindly for like the rogue 3 Presidential candidates. JAPA to where your Prodigal parents did not build is not your entitlement.

Wait o, is this not the same Nigeria where Western Region many First in Africa, even in some European countries was built?

sonofthunder:




Your auntie no get joy oh.... Lol


Zéro interest in returning

TongueTwista:


Colombians, Brazilians and Mexicans have more scammers and drug runners than Nigeria, but you'll hardly open the news to find their citizens being put in the spotlight. Even when they're arrested, diplomatic relations are used to quietly extradite such persons so appropriate sanctions can be dished out.

But people like you, Buhari, Tinubu, Atiku Bagudu, Orji Uzor Kalu and a host of other short-sighted Nigerians make it look like the entire Nigerian country is a hub of scammers and characters with illicit intents.

You think Nigerians defraud people? Spend a year in China and you'll understand that almost every teenager with a smart phone is almost encouraged to engage in internet fraud schemes. Or let's even bring it back home to Africa. Do you know that nearly 60percent of the young Ghana population are into internet scams? Or do you want to travel to SA and Kenya?

But those countries hardly make the news for crimes because you Nigerians are so loud-mouthed and hateful towards your next Nigerian, so you feel your only way of showing patriotism and behavioural decency, is to use a vuvuzela to announce your kin and his flaws so he can be taken to the hangman's noose!

YellowbaMoslem:
The only time i would take a Person preaching against japaa serious, is when he/she must have left that abroad and return to Nigeria.

If staying back in Nigeria is better like they always say, then why don't they come back?

For almost 10 months now, fear never gree me enter road say i dey travel interstate for inside this Nigeria.

Light i never see since 3 days, fuel still dey costly to run Generator and sustain my freezer.

Ordinary camry spider wey person dey drive, Police dey always wan harras me for nothing sake.

Is everything all about money making? How many years do we even have to spend in this life?

If you have not left abroad but stays there to discourage others, may God punish you.

You fear immigrants competition that's why you discourage others, tell yourself the truth.

But its not everybody that is coming there to become Dangote, they want a saner clime at high expense.. life is choice.

you mean am

casualobserver:


Advising people to go is just as bad as advising people not to go. Everybody’s circumstance is different. Let people make up their own minds. I lived abroad for 2 decades, I had a fantastic job, I still have a house there, I am a citizen so I can go back if I want but I came back voluntarily and I will never go back. Nigeria is hard but for me there is peace, sense of belonging, I have in Nigeria I never had in the UK. Eventually you will realize these things matter.

Which rubbish sense of belonging?

SmartPolician:
This country is sooo fvcked up and there's no hope of fixing it anytime soon.

If you want to advise us not to leave Nigeria, make sure you are in Nigeria while dishing out those pieces of useless advice.

And they should have experienced the APC regime for at least four years before giving out any advice.

Even such people can still afford a better life for their kids in Nigeria. They can afford a better school, a better house and sometimes travel abroad for vacation. Those people don't really need Japa.

SeriouslySense:
They are very wicked to themselves the Nigerians cannot work together to make things better, but foreigners see opportunities.

@SeriouslySense, you make a lot of serious sense!

Israel07:
Imagine say u call police to report a case of theft in the middle of the night only for them to ask you to send them #10k for fuel n mobilisation first, then when they arrive like 3hrs after the report they arrest everyone in the house and on the street, it doesn't matter where you're coming from or going to then collect better beating before being jam-packed in a smelling cell then asked to start calling your people for bail of #50k for street passerbys and #100k for tenants of the burgled building then #30k for you wey call them. Mad oooo!

Imagine a cleaner in a hospital giving you a list of things to buy while telling one of ur twin is dead n u should hurry b4 the remaining one die💀

Yeah, we heard it the first time bro.

Fahvvy:


I think you should go back and request a refund of your school fees at this point ...

And I think you should ask your mother why she didn’t insist on a condom

iammo:
O.p mark my words and it not a curse you will cry

Painful sorrowful tears if you don't quickly change your foolish Japa mindset

I have seen with my eyes Grown men curse the day they were born because of wrong Japa moves, I have seen many destiny end in prison abroad because they had no option to survive than crime

fool
the post is not about me
it is about hypocrites abroad advising people not to come abroad

Smartguyboy:

for something that in 'the abroad', an ambulance would have been ready in minutes,
he drove for hours

You forget ambulance in USA is not free and very expensive some people prefer to suffer than to call ambulance on them.

just one question, which option do you think the billionaire in my writeup would have chosen
1) die on the way to the hospital from bayelsa to rivers state
2) pay for the ambulance

Depends. I will never advise anyone to come to America or Canada without a valid visa. I heard someone saying he wants to japa on a visit visa. Like what the actual fuxk

pocohantas:
Nigerians abroad do not have any problem with you relocating abroad, they just do not want you to come there and be a nuisance to them and the country. I have friends in the UK and they are seriously complaining of the recent japarians that come without adequate funds. So they want to live with you for long with no contribution. Forgetting that abroad doesn't support such dependency.

They only want you to know the other side. Something you prospective japarians hate to hear.

If you want to go abroad, go and apply na.
Nobody is stopping you.

imagine the elitist mindset
whats different between you and a racist abroad, who doesn't want the monkeys from africa to come and constitute nuisance in their country
so because you travelled, you are automatically better than everyone else at home

virginchaser:


UPTH is not as bad as you presented it. It is an hospital I used severally before I changed over to save a life. One thing i know about their antenatal, priority is giving to women that registered with them during delivery than people that comes with emergency and when such person have complication or pass on. News says they lose him or her at UPTH.

Also, do you read news about health discrimination in Europe against blacks. Statistics shows black dies more than white, proportional to the ratio.

hello
i believe you are in port harcourt
i will make out time with you, we will go to UPTH with a video
and post back on this thread
i promise you, in one day, any day you pick, in less than 1 hour,
you will change your mind

it doesn't matter whether you did antenatal in UPTH
will that take away the rats that climb your body in SCBU ward
and if you complain, they will tell you, you will get used to the rats

my wife slept there for 2 weeks
after 3 days, she will tell me baby today rat climbed my face, baby today rat entered my wrapper and we will laugh about it together

People (including medical professionals) arent inherently bad
that is why i didn't directly accuse any particular person, and thats why i said, when these doctors travel abroad, they act differently
understand my point:
there's no way a doctor will work 72 hours straight without getting edgy, acting rude and emotionless, with no time to waste,

its not the fault of the professionals, its the system in which they are working

This is one of the reasons why people should think twice before japa.

I can't sell my house, cars, and other properties to Japa. No!

Atleast, if I've my 🏠 and car that means I'm still doing a little bit better I just need to double my hustle.

True.

I Don't discourage people from wanting to travel and explore opportunities. What I discourage is

1. Japa mentality- Japa means to run away, which is such a cowardly mindset. Many assume that they will stop facing challenges when they Japa or that the challenges will be easier. But overcoming challenges begins with your mental and internal environment not your physical one.

2. Even if you must relocate, never totally uproot yourself. Don't sell your inheritance or all the stuff you sweated for, just to transport yourself. Don't burn the bridges that where supporting or sustaining you. Have investments here that you can come back to or can even support you over there in that country where you will forever be a second or even third class citizen.

3. Instead of Japa, from Naija to another country, I prefer to be a global citizen. Make the kind of money and status that can allow me to travel to any country I wish anytime I want. And come back home whenever I want.

You think people in abroad don’t travel to other countries for cheap medical care?
The way you people glorify abroad as if everything there is free
You think Dey don’t have homeless or people who don’t have money to pay for medicine
You think medical there is free ?
If you are dying and you don’t have insurance nobody will attend to you anywhere .

Chetas81:
only mad citizen failed to develop their motherland, those who japa, failed their contribution here in Nigeria, someone should tell us, this guy's have any tangible contribution, to the country they want to go

Most of japa crews contribute immensely to their society by sending remittance home and
even coming back to build companies back home. You see it's not everyone that wants to stay there permanently. You only know what you know

My own be say if anyone wants to japa, do it legally. In Canada, without papers, the list below applies.

and this is simple and sweet

instead of lieing that abroad is harder than nigeria
or like in the post i referenced, she implied 'abroad' will collect everything back from you
cmon now, are you talking to imbeciles?

welldone, .....

this is a gentle reminder that 190,000 people died of malaria last year in Nigeria

You have this sense of unbelievable entitlement mentality to where you or your grandparents did not sow.

Fix your brain and your village so that you can stop destroying your everywhere the way you destroy your land.

Sell yourself worse than a slave abroad and stop blaming others for your misery. Your Freedom Fighters fought for the Independence in their 20s destroyed by your generation .

....just have a nice day abeg

Nigeria that Agberos are now kings. Political thugs are given juicy government positions, contracts and salaries are paid to them. Militants are in government payroll. Of all this a sane person should deduce that whoever tells you not to japa are one of these people.
