I been dey scroll through this thread for this perspective. I dey UK, but relocating back home in a few weeks. So my narrative is for UK. I go rather go back Nigeriato face wetin I sabi. Than spend years of my life searching for what isn't missing. You will always be second citizens, restricted on the type of jobs you can perform, the level you can get to. Not full blown in your face racism, subtle legislation that will put you in check. If you want that, by all means. Hamachi: 1 Like |

Quintessence44: You guys like exaggerating things to suit your narrative. The problem with these stupid arguments that never cease to end in this forum is that the pro and anti japa sides have failed to be specific in their assertions. Are we talking of japa through green card/ permanent residence or japa through visit visa, asylum,refugee etc? Because these 2 modes of japa are not the same but for some ulterior motives, they are lumped together to confuse people. To your point, nobody who is "doing well " in Nigeria will leave his job or business to japa through an illegal means. My brother, people aren't stupid naa. People doing well japa through PR like I did years back. I remember when I was relocating and wanted to convert my 10m naira to USD, my cousin could not understand my decision and felt I was stupid. In a last ditch effort to stop me a day before we flew out, he showed me lands to buy trying to convince me that I'll triple my money in few years as the lands are fast appreciating but I still declined. I had my reasons to relocate and besides I was japaing as a PR, I wouldn't have japaed if it wasn't as a PR. With PR, you can rebuild your life faster and better. You can go back to school easily and acquire better skills that would catapult your career. I went back to school as I landed cos I wanted to switch from my career in Nigeria to IT in Canada. I didn't spend any shishi of my money to go back to school, I got grant from both the Federal and provincial government that covered all my school fees and 60% of my family living expenses. I was offered loan if I wanted but I declined to take the loan cos I came with money of my own. Fast forward years after, I have established in the IT world and now running away from recruiters in LinkedIn cos I can't be switching jobs every year. Most intelligent Nigerians who came legally end up becoming better off years after landing cos they make good use of the system. My brother, the only set of people who are doing well in Nigeria but trade it to japa by any means are people who have been personally touched by Nigeria and are so angry that they don't want to spend the next night in Nigeria. For example, someone who has been a victim of kidnapping, lost lots of money and nearly lost their life. There is someone I know who left Nigeria though I don't know which Visa he used sha but he left after he nearly lost his life in the hands of the army because he was making a call as his car driven by his wife was passing through an army checkpoint. He was brutalized and he spent nearly 2 months in hospital. After his recovery and release, they started planning japa and they eventually left for good. The truth is that I don't even blame them for that People japa for many personal reasons that is beyond money. But to say people who are comfortable in Nigeria are leaving it to become illegal immigrants in the west is an outright exaggeration, people are not stupid and I have not yet seen anyone in that category 5 Likes |

Don't ever listen to Nigerians abroad discouraging you not to relocate. My story here - I started my Masters in April 2016, I did not complete it till Jan 2020. It took me 2 years to get my certificate, I had to do Clearance at PG school twice before getting it. I finally got it in December 2022. Two of my friends Japa last year OCTOBER. FAMILY 1. Wife started Masters in October 2022 and finished in April 2023, was lucky to get a job in June. They are doing very well. FAMILY 2. Wife graduated as Best graduating student in her Masters (she studied an engineering course). Offers have started coming in for her to do another program, I think a scholarship is coming her way. This is a country that works. If you know how much it cost me to tip and bribe those guys in PG school before getting my certificate. Imagine them telling me the person in charge is not around. Please 🙏 Japa if you have the means. 2 Likes |

The reason why this forum has been around for a long time is because this is where we come to share our life experiences -I certainly know that because I have been a member for a long time. We should tolerate disparate views -this shows that we have matured as a people. There are cons and pros to travelling abroad and considering the situation Nigeria is now I guess there are more pros -but is it guaranteed. What is the probability of success and how do we quantify success. No one can give you that answer -people can only share their own opinions and the rest is up to the individual. Nigeria So Tinubu went to the G20 summit and came back stating that he spoke to the Germans about bringing back VW to Nigeria -I read this and felt bad -and this is where I sympathize with people like you -our leaders have taken us for a ride and it seems they would not stop. Now why would VW come to a country that cannot produce enough electricity for it's citizens when VW has so many other options. This alone should encourage me to advice people to leave Nigeria -but I have seen our people suffer miserably in some of the strangest countries and at the same time I have seen many Nigerians have a great life here also. so make up your mind and come back here with your own life experiences. 1 Like |

Quidsin: just a few questions which country and course did these individuals study --also how much did they have to spend. you would do well to list the costs iteratively travel expenses accommodation cost of college degree obtained rating of college employment prospects did they obtained any loans and how long will take them to repay the loans thanks -this information would help a lot of people. 1 Like |

Mosba: Do you know what it takes to earn that £200 you refer to as just £200? That’s one problem abroad people have with Nigerians back in Nigeria, using numerical value of naira to judge other currencies. £200 is not 200 naira. It probably takes a lot of effort, sweat and work for that your friend to put together that amount and send to you. It’s not just £200 to him , trust me. Especially for someone who hasn’t even spent up to six months. He probably even not earning £100,000 in a whole year yet but you already have #200,000 in your bank account . The £200 he sent to you is not just 200 Average Americans earn $50,000 in a whole year. If they can afford to gift you 200 out of it. They really try. A Nigerian earning 50,000 naira a year(not month) would hardly gift 200 out of it |
