In 2022, Nigeria received a total of 20.13 billion U.S. dollars in personal remittances. This substantial figure represents funds sent by individuals to their loved ones in Nigeria, either to provide financial support or to contribute to personal projects. It's noteworthy that many Nigerians prioritize sending money back home and investing in local initiatives over accumulating personal savings, a choice that holds wisdom in its own right. On a personal note, I can attest to this trend as I've sent over $20,000 back home this year alone. To provide some perspective, if I were to maintain an annual average of $30,000 in remittances, it would take me approximately three years to reach a total of N100,000 sent to Nigeria. I have friends who are even more generous in their remittance contributions. It's clear that the act of "japa," or leaving one's home country for better opportunities abroad, often extends beyond personal gain to encompass the well-being of friends and family in Nigeria. Allow me to pose a direct question: If you were to provide financial support to your loved ones, how much would you be able to save during these years? It's essential to acknowledge that individuals have diverse financial goals and priorities. "Japa" is often embarked upon with the mission to save and improve one's financial situation, including loved ones back home. Therefore, it's crucial not to discourage Nigerians who aspire to pursue this path. For those considering "japa," I offer this advice: thorough research is paramount before embarking on this journey. Don't make the decision solely for the sake of "japa" without a clear understanding of your destination country and its opportunities. It's not surprising to hear stories of individuals (like a brother stated here), who "deported" themselves back to Nigeria from countries like Sweden. While some do find success in places like Sweden, it's essential to assess the available opportunities carefully. The act of "japa" can be rewarding, but it should be undertaken with prudence. In conclusion, may God guide and assist all those pursuing their dreams, whether in Nigeria or abroad. Each person's path is unique, and it's essential to respect the choices and aspirations of individuals as they navigate their financial journeys. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Ajione: Why should he dash you 50K if you did not give him any money to keep for you. Go and ask an American living in the United States to dash you $50 let's see what he will tell you |

Kelechi009: I can't believe anyone would write this. For your info, less than 10% of HOUSEHOLDS in the United States earn that level of income. It's public data you can look up on the IRS website. I hate the Nigerian tendency to be unreasonable. Have a good day. |

IbeOkehie: Gentleman, I am not naive; 27 years is too much time to put down $270,000. To plan my own life, I don't need statistics from 10% of homes. I perform services for foreign clients on Fiverr and Upwork from my residence. I am aware of my annual salary in dollars; if I were living in the US, it would be multiplied by ten. As you can see from the text above, user @x123 claims to have sent $20k USD this year alone. If I can remit 50% of that, starting from $5k for a start. Consider sending this amount over the course of 27 years; how long do you estimate 27 years will be? I am aware that what I am saying seems absurd to those with modest incomes and the IDIOT who quoted me before you, but I don't want to dispute with you too much. Before some of my friends travelled to the US for their MSc, my friends who travelled who worked in video and film editing with me in Lagos and Ghana; I am aware of their side income. I would like not to constantly contradict you because my reality differs from your world. Stay on your lane brother. |
