The funny thing is OP is writing from abroad

I am not saying that migration is bad… I am only saying that it is wrong to push the malicious narrative to our people especially the youths that they have no other way to live a decent life than to runaway from their country…. This is not true because Nigeria is a blessed nation and only needs to have the right people in positions of authority to ensure that Nigerians enjoy the country’s wealth…. This can be achieved if we encourage our people to stay back and work towards building the country instead of running away…. These evil people in power will be forced out if our youths are encouraged to rally together and demand for an end to the carnage and injustice going on in Nigeria…. It is glaring that the “Japa” ideology is increasing crime in Nigeria as many people are desperate to engage in criminal activities to raise funds to leave the country…. It is setting a dangerous precedence that will destroy the people…..

HellVictorinho8:
Not every youth is a criminal

Not everyone engaging in crime intends 2 japa

Not every youth is wretched


Not every youth is outside d political elite


D political elite also av youths related 2 them directly here


Our celebrities still av houses here

Sum spend mur tyme here



Question is


Can u help me with 10k

FourQu:
It's a lie

Someone who jumbles words together without any paragraphs cannot be able to even pass common exam talkless of japa visa interview

Bebigiby1:
It is not proper to solicit funds on an open online forum for the sack of your privacy and security.... Regarding your comparison, you are right that not everyone engaging in crime are doing so japa but there is a negative impact caused by current wave of japa propaganda pushed on several social media pages and online blogs....

Bebigiby1:
There is need to reorient our people against the desperation to runway from Nigeria.... Japa is an admission of failure as a people, a symbol of international shame on Nigerians..... it must to stop for Nigeria to restore its dignity internationally....

HellVictorinho8:
Neither is it proper 2 experience d kind of hardship am facing


And i did not choose 2 experience it

And u dont av 2 generalize it or misinterprete it


And it makes no sense 4 anybody 2 see it as a reason 2 lie against me or say whatever nonsense about me or attack me.


Life itself isnt proper.


In case u got anything 4 me,u can send an email 2 my mail


address ,itz on my profile.


Whatever negative impact caused by japa whatever can be reduced when the elite are being helpful 2 as many nigerians in need as possible.

HellVictorinho8:
To japa doesnt make anybody a failure

Bebigiby1:
Okay but we have a choice to correct this mess as a people....I believe this is why such platforms as Nairaland exists to educate and share ideas on how best to move the country forward, we may not agree on several issues but we agree on this fact that we have only one country.... even if the people choose to go their separate ways tomorrow... we are Nigerians today and whatever we can do to hold the government accountable will go a long way in improving the economy and helping everyone.... As for me I've concluded that Tinubu's bad government is irredeemably corrupt and insensitive, it can not continue, it urgently has to end to save Nigeria's economy.... Above all, I hope Nigerians will let go of tribalism and selfish sentiments to demand for a better future that will be benefit everyone before it is too late.....

Individually, yes it doesn't make the person a failure but nationally it does harm to the country's image and reputation....

Av u seen d mail?

This post makes me YEARN to smack you silly.

First for the ABSOLUTELY stupid nature of its contents. Then for your FAILURE to employ something as important as a PARAGRAPH.

Back to the post:

You keep yapping and yapping about being "slaves and third class citizens" in a foreign country. EVERYBODY knows this is an 80s argument.

Getting VISAs is not as simple as it once was. Current immigration policies DEMAND that you have a clear and definite purpose before you are granted a Visa.

For MOST people, that either takes the form of STUDY or WORK. Both of these require sponsorships from institutions or employers who believe in you.

Nigerians abroad WORK to improve themselves either through local certifications or educations. But while working towards their education or certification, they make take some "menial jobs" like driving for UberEats or waiting tables.

Which brings me to your point about shitting on menial jobs. That is CLASSISM. Your post shows that you DISREGARD and look down on people who do jobs you consider "menial".

Meanwhile, they are considered an integral part of the country they reside in. For context, the average income of a waiter in the US Is about $31K and that's not including the tips they get.

The point is most "menial jobs" abroad is SUFFICIENT to live a decent life, unlike in Nigeria. That is why ONLY about 35% of Americans have a Bachelor's Degree.

I suppose your "third-class citizen" also alludes to the RACISM that Nigerians face abroad. That is LAUGHABLE.

Nigerians at home have to deal with TRIBALISM which is even dumber than racism. As a Nigerian abroad, you may need to cross the racism hurdle to get a good job.

But Nigerians in Nigeria have to deal with TRIBALISM, NEPOTISM, FAVOURITISM, CORRUPTION and FAKE job postings by RITUALISTS and RAPISTS to get a good job.

We have seen reports of Nigerian-born black people in position of political authority in foreign countries. Let someone from a different TRIBE try to become the VC of a common state-owned University in Nigeria and all hell would break loose.

Another aspect of your "third-class citizen" probably relates to Police treatment of black people. But it's NO different from the way Nigerian Police and other security agencies treat Nigerians.

Police could GUN you down because of #200 in Nigeria. Nothing will happen. Your family can't sue anyone for SETTLEMENT which is something that can be done abroad apart from the personal consequences the offending officer would have to face.

By the way, I like the fact that you mentioned that Nigeria is the best country in WEST Africa. You knew better than to say Africa.

But even that is PUSHING it. We all saw how Nigerian citizens in Ogun State had to cross over to Benin Republic to get access to POTABLE water.

In ONE day, we've read news of a KIDNAPPED commissioner and TWENTY kidnapped medical/dental students.

But that's not even the worst part. You want to know what the worst part is?

The worst part is that people DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TO CALL! People are helpless in the face of a BRUTAL security threat because there is no DESIGNATED and RELIABLE number to call in case of an emergency.

Emergency call in Nigeria does NOT exceed screams of "egbaami ooo" and "ewoooo ooo". That's it.

The summary is this:

It is EASIER to be patriotic when you don't feel like there is a LOADED gun to your head.

It is EASIER to be patriotic when you don't feel like something is CONSTANTLY choking you.

It is EASIER to be patriotic when you don't feel like the system is actively working AGAINST you.

That is why people JAPA!

Life is too SHORT to be blindly loyal to a society that SUFFOCATES you.

Flight attendants tell people to put on their own oxygen mask FIRST before trying to assist ANYONE else in an emergency. Even your own CHILDREN!

That is because you don't run to put out a fire in your neighbour's house when your OWN leg is still ROASTING like suya.

Advice to anyone reading this:

If you can AFFORD it, JAPA! Bleep patriotism and JAPA!

I’ve read several posts made by many defeatists advising Nigerians especially the youths to run away (Japa) from Nigeria, telling them that the only way they can live a decent life is to migrate to other countries, I wonder how a great nation and people like Nigerians have allowed themselves to be defeated, so docile and cowardly to the point that their children are now only thought to hate their father’s land and prepped to leave the country at early stages of their lives to become “slaves” in other countries in the name of japa syndrome?

Nigeria remains the best West African country with so much potential…. It is unfortunate that the japa syndrome has become a culture in many parts of country to a point that it is on the verge of destroying what is left of the future of this country as many of our best brains continue to leave in mass…. This country was founded on the basis of mutual respect and ethnic synergy, our founding fathers believed in the power of our diversity this unfortunately became the bane of our development as overtime Nigerians allowed tribalism, corruption to reign supreme ushering in the worst set of people among them to rule, loot and destroy the country. Instead of uniting to take back the country, many Nigerians today prefer to runaway and live as third class citizens in foreign lands with the hope that Nigeria will magically fix itself before they can return…. If the citizens of the foreign countries that Nigerians are running to and currently living in did the same thing by “japaing” when their country’s situation was bad, would any of us “japa” to their country today? The answer is “NO”…. It is a fact the no one can fix Nigeria except Nigerians and what is happening today, especially the new culture of japa among our youths is a betrayal to our heritage, our founding fathers, those who fought and died for the course of this nation and our forefathers who fought the colonialists to ensure that future generations of this country can live free and be prosperous…. We may run to UK, USA or France over the economic crisis in Nigeria, change our native names but we can not change our Nigerian DNA or the blood of our ancestors that is within us. Many people are saying that Nigeria is dead and there is no hope for our youths, this is not true as the major reason why it seem to be hopeless is because of the lack of unity among Nigerians, many of us choose to foster deep tribal hatred and religious extremism towards other Nigerians, for some, it is a politically motivated choice while for others it is a sentimental choice… this dangerous way of thinking have brought this country to it’s knees as corruption and bad governance continues to thrive…. The truth is that Nigerians have a choice to fix their country if they choose to let go of these vices that divide them, making this country work for all Nigerians is achievable when the majority of us are willing to love our country and fight for the best for her…. What it takes is genuine patriotism which is lacking and this is why our people continue to suffer…. Just like the great patriots who fought to make America, UK and other countries we love to run to what it is today…. We have a nation blessed with abundant resources if harnessed and managed properly none of us will find these foreign countries attractive as life will be good in Nigeria…. Already, you can see many foreigners like the Chinese milking some of our resources illegally are living large in Nigeria while our people cry of hunger. There is no other way we can guarantee wealth and prosperity for ourselves without fixing our country, Nigerian youths should understand that the fate of this country is in their hands and what they choose to do will shape the fate of future generations…. These bad leaders we have today are in power because Nigerians especially our youths failed to hold them accountable, instead of fighting for a better future, our people have been robbed of their identities, defeated and brainwashed to accept “japa” as an achievement, a salvation to their failures…. Why live as slaves in foreign lands doing menial jobs when you can live as kings in your father’s land if we unite to fix our country by chasing away these evil politicians destroying it…. Nigerians are better off living in a prosperous Nigeria then living as slaves in another man’s country…. All that is required is for us to stand together, take our country back and fight for a better future that will benefit everyone…. If the people of USA, UK, Canada and other advanced countries did it, we can do it…. The Nigeria of today and tomorrow is in our hands to shape….

Bebigiby1:
Not sure who you are referring to but even if so many have “japa” there is no way over 200 million people can run away from their country…. Majority of Nigerians have no choice than to fix their country…. These evil politicians occupying public offices oppressing Nigerians are not more than 1000 people….
