concrete jungle. its a wasteland
Omo you don waka o. Na every where that your leg don reach
You just couldn't resist the embellishment, typical Nigerian.
the person is on nairaland. And may see the post. How will you feel as a friend if you see someone mentioning your exact workplace. He works for one of the following ( mobil, agip, total , shell) . Always wanting to make a mountain out of nothing. Abeg rest
isArray: Yeah, my USA visa was rejected when I was in Nigeria, I got it in a week when I relocated, I got my UK visa in a week too, I am also doing this for family, I don't want to raise kids in a dysfunctional environment.
In terms of weather, food and nightlife Nigeria is a good country
Nigeria is fun no doubt. But it's not just safe for my liking. One can't stay out late in the night in Nigeria without experiencing being robbed or double crossed with gun or knife.
I love night life in Nigeria but it's dangerous. I really wish Nigeria can be a safe country with basic amenities that we all need. It's surely going to be a fun place to be. But staying out late in Nigeria is a suicide mission.
Treadway: lol. Ok let me add more credence to this your post. Remember how I mentioned here my wife was singing UK into my ear and I handled that situation? Well, when Emilokan entered let's just say I became more amenable. So I have told her to run the show. She will write TEF in January, while as a testament to my own involvement and support for the cause, I don write IELTS in June and got the CLB10. I reckon if/when it all pans out, I go come siddon face the reality of what next when that time comes. I just leave am make she dey run the whole tin, while I supply the needs. Still don't see myself living outside Nigeria, but that second citizenship has become a goal. Lol
I HAVE PROJECTED TO THE NIGERIAN END OF THE TUNNEL AND MEET THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE..THE FOUNDATION THAT HELD THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL HAVE LONG BROKEN...WHAT I SAW WHERE THE LIGHT ONCE STOOD IS A HUGE PIT..
STOP MOVING TOWARDS THE END OF THE TUNNEL, THERE IS NO LIGHT THERE...I REPEAT , STOP MOVING TOWARDS THE END OF THE TUNNEL...ITS DANGEROUS

Then maybe you shouldn't be sharing his story in the first place.
Let those who want to Japa go so we'll count those of us remaining. We will shut down Nigeria and chase every bad politician like we chase grass cutters, when we catch them we will treat them like we do with bush meat.
There will be no hiding place. We will purge ourselves once and for all, anybody wey put body go collect woto woto...
Validated: If you have a good certification, still in your thirties or below 40, or even early forties, you are able to save up to N10m and have a child or two children and not a political actor or a clergy of a big church, may I ask, "What are you still waiting for"?
You see, 7 months ago, your N10m was about $22K. Now, it is only about $8590. However bad, it could still take you to UK, atleast. Then you can begin sorting your life. Even if you have a business, it will be eroded soon. What the likes of GSK, P&G, Unilever, Suntory, etc are saw or are seeing and moving should give you signal that this train is headed to a total anarchy.
Even if you do not love yourself, for the sake of your family, move. There is no hope in the foreseeable horizon. I am not a doomsday prophet, but if you understand the times, you know that things are going to get worse.
10 years ago, I called a friend and advised him to come over to Canada. He said he is not going to another man's country to "slave". He would rather come and visit and enjoy holidays. Funny enough his subordinate took the initiative. His (surbordinate) wife got a scholarship and in two years he relocated and he and his family now lives big in Ontario.
Fastforward to 2023, my friend is now in his early-50s, he has lost his job, his tottering business is now almost moribund. No thanks to Tinubu's economic janglova. Now, he is asking me to help him and his family relocate. 4 adults (Him, his wife and 2 children). How?
My reply may be brutal abd unfair, "Bro, you are 10 years late". He is now franticky looking towards the UK, looking for buyers of his inheritance, but the Tories are locking the gate on Dec 31, 2023. Not sure if he can still make it across.
My advice, if you can leave this sinking ship, please do ASAP. Today, it is armed robbery and kidnapping. In few years, a reminisce of the 1000000 boys will resurface.
Someone is going to come here to preach that it is not rosy out there. Yes, at first it will be rough. With time you will get along, learn the system, culture, then boom, you will just know you made a bold move. Nigeria is not getting better soon. Atleast, not with the huge debts and dwindling revenues that is over 50% channelled to debt servicing. Not with over 45% budget deficits to be financed on loans. Not with low purchasing power of the populace. Not with this "owambe" government. Not when our oil production is already swapped for loans for next 5 years and steeply declining productivity.
No, not with a Tinubu that does not understand productivity.
Cost of flight alone is 3.5M. That is without money for accommodation, feeding or anything else. Guy, e go tey small before I complete the money for japa.
Bros, am even tired of arguing about japa no japa again because they will just see you as hater. Many people are doing fine here in Nigeria and won't think about japaing yet the noise about japa on nairaland is way above the roof. Some of them say that you can't get a visitor's visa to Europe or Canada with nija passport and when I enter the plane while coming back home last month, 90% of the people are using Nigerian passport because most of us queued and cleared through the Nigerians Only route while like 10% in the foreign passport route. So who are these Nigerians getting visas everyday? Who are these Nigerians filling up Ethiopia airlines like 8 a day to Nigeria with other airlines? Most of these flights are virtually filled up either while traveling out or coming back. People are traveling out en mass everyday and coming in and most use the Nigerians only immigration route. So who are these Nigerians getting visas? Every God damn days. Where are they all getting visas for different countries when the japa crew nairaland version claim Nigeria passport is useless and can't go anywhere? By now, I expect planes to just be 15 or 20% partially filled since Nigerian passport holders have been shadow-banned as they usually say it
If after all this talk you no collect second passport, I go vex for you. Mark am somewhere!
Bros you are lucky you made the move in that 2020 o. The points now are unattainable. Even studying in Canada doesn't guarantee PR like before. Here in Chile, they are voting on Sunday to change the constitution and immigration is one thing they want to change. In the Brazil thread, they mentioned that the embassy has stopped issuing visa till further notice. Going forward immigration will get insanely difficult. Even with money you can't go anywhere.

concrete jungle. its a wasteland
outta nonsense
Stop saying rubbish
Where in chicago did you stay No de lie
Just like you have the ikorodu and ajegule. Talk Watin you know
With money you can always go anywhere as long as you are not applying from Nigeria.
Many people still don't know you can't be walking up to big embassies these days if you are applying from Nigeria because they are not stupid, they see what's going on in the country.
Stop this nonsense, enjoy your abroad in peace...the wealthiest Nigerians are here. You went there for greener pastures, stop shaming others. Poor people exist everywhere...some just like abroad because it looks finer, going abroad won't make you one of the top richest Nigerians if you don't have what it takes...so many abroad are managing, they can't even help their own family, always online abusing their country. You are the image of Nigeria abroad. Get sense.
They talk like skidrow in los Angeles is for Americans alone
They assume that there are no homeless Nigerians abroad...delusional thinkers.
If you have no plan to make it in Nigeria, you can't cut it in USA also.
1. Some of the people that attacked the Capitol hill were jailed but the Kingpin still on the loose. His case was just referred to the Supreme Court. 2. It was shocking you claimed you have travelled. Your reasoning and style of writing are pathetic at minimum. You can actually take a pig from the mud but not the mud from the pig. I will like to know the country that allows you in.
3. Do you know the number of homicide that remains unresolved in the States ?
4. Where did I claim Nigeria is greater than the US ? Don't twist my words. However, living in a rich country does not mean you will be rich. How is your own individual life ? Without you saying a word, I know it is pointing south.
stop saying rubbish man When I get to where I needed to speak well articulately I’ll but for now we are on a naija level and since when my way of speaking English won’t allow me travel to a rich country or get to the higher level I want . Do you know how many Mexican here who speaks bad English but are still here and doing well for them selves, is this how you rate your thinking , well I sorry for you and for the kingpin e no get where kingpin no de even for naija it plenty, even your president is 1 but not at the detriment of the people na. For here no allow them catch you because if they do you’re going down and no one will save you no matter how rich or powerful you’re. But for naija Them catch or not if you’re rich you will always find your way. For your info I’m not an office guy or manager who need to stand and address people. I’m a truck driver Get paid and send what left back home to invest which I know Nigeria can not give me No de justify nonsense because you wan form woke
