They've been casted, some of these countries are in about hitting recession like UK, Germany and high exchange rate as well,high tax.

The world is global now, people with skills are making the same dollars here in Nigeria with way less tax.

So why travelling to a country where the natives are hostile to you coming into their country?

ibechris:
No dey follow people dey echo these sentiments...there are plenty middle class peope in Nigeria despite the fact that it is shrinking.

Anybody in this country with a spare cash of 70million and above is in the middle class category.

Olabestonic001:
Trump and Pierre Poilievre are not anti-inmigrants but anti-illegal immigrants.

If you want to go to their countries, go there legally.

U nor see exchange rate....?? Abi na stone and sand dem dey use japa??

RodgersAkpafu:
Tayo Aina have fled to Portugal 🇵🇹
You think everything is bout "dollars" lol

RodgersAkpafu:
You are joking
I repeat
You are joking

You think the white supremacist base that they pander to care whether u are "legal" or "illegal"?

People that are even advocating for deportations of Obama, Kemi and Kamala despite the heights they have reached 🙄

There is a concept called "dogwhistling"
That's exactly what they doing

You can't be at your house asking this question. Go to airport,you will see what is happening

Namaster:
Cost to japa has BALLOONED beyond what 90% of Nigerians can afford.

The combination of an UNFORGIVING exchange rate and BRUTAL immigration requirements by several countries have temporarily stemmed the tide of japa.

Plus, the rise of ANTI-IMMIGRANT sentiments has forced some people to reconsider.

Trump's entire campaign HINGED on treating immigrants as bad as possible. And it WORKED!

Pierre Poilievre, Canadian Trump-wannabe, is on his way to power in 2025. He is ANTI-IMMIGRANT too.

Most popular child name in UK for 2024 was Mohammed. UK citizens are SCARED now so they are ANTI-IMMIGRANT too.

Poland too has a LOUD anti-immigrant politician.

MOST of Europe are experiencing a WAVE of anti-immigrant sentiments. They are rolling out measures that'd make immigration into their countries DIFFICULT and UNDESIRABLE.

If you scale through the hurdles, you'd still face HOSTILE indigenes that'd treat you like garbage.

A new era of Nationalism is DAWNING.
NOBODY wants foreigners in their countries.
Nobody!

Japanese are LITERALLY dying out due to low birth rate and they still LOATHE immigrants.

It's time to face your own country. Call politicians to order.

Lanre1st:
The policy changes in Canada not to giving working permit to Study Visa, UK policy on dependants and the cost of Japa process discouraged many people

adonainana:
Most basic loophooles for japa has closed

In the uk 2 years ago , before they closed the route, all you needed was someone who was going for thier Masters, and 50 people can tag along as dependants, and i kid you not

All they had to do was say all of them were family members. so far the people tagging along had the money for the visa application, then thats all you needed.

This is why you may have noticed a lot of people japad that you would not have imagined how they got the money from in the last 2 years or so.

The dependants route to the UK was so sweet and almost too good to be true.

A lot of agents too cashed in like some peoples lives changed.

Wetin thier eye con now see after once they got into the UK, another story tbh

Now the route has closed, the only way you can use this scope to enter the uk is via a PHD route and na long thing

RodgersAkpafu:
and what percentage of the population do you reckon have such ?

ibechris:
I used the word shrinking...
More than 2million Nigerian have this amount.

Olabestonic001:
And you think the 'dog-whistling' from outsiders like you that they should take in every dick and harry that comes to their country makes sense, right?

Why do immigrants like you love dictating to the owner of the lands what they should do? Can you do this in Qatar or China?

Yes, there are extremists but most of the folks are moderate.

Noblemanonpoint:
Everything isn't about the dollars, Resounding Yes, but most of the people "japaing" are economic migrants.
No rich person leaving his soft life in Nigeria to go start afresh, let's be real.
In case you didn't notice, Rich Nigerians live in Nigeria, they don't relocate.
Many won't even leave Nigeria if they were earning in dollars.
I personally would like to relocate to Brazil later since I'm in tech and work remote. it might be a personal preference for him as well.

RodgersAkpafu:
what are you talking about fgs?
your last line is proof that indeed you are caught up in the right wing disinformation ecosystem

RodgersAkpafu:
The bolded is not true sir
I personally know very rich men who have QUEITLY relocated with their families away from Nigeria

Do you know how many Nigeiran celebrities collected EB5 visas over the last 10 years ?
They are leaving in droves, but the diff is that they are doing it with stealth, and quietly.

When Omotola and co snuck out, they did not bring microphone out to announce
Neither did Teju, John, etc....

They just pack their bag and waka, despite all they had

franvincoop:
Which japa una dey talk again wey concern exchange rate?
Those ones wey dey use leggededbenz through Libya no be Japa be that?
Somebody mention 25 million sef.
If you get 5 million+ for this naija and you decide to japa, then you no get sense, not to talk of 25 million.
Just use the money plant Plantain or cassava and thank me later.
E don tey I never see that kind thread for nairaland like " I have 1 million, please suggest a business for me".
Naija na wah, pple wey get idea no get money, pple wey get money wan japa.

ndidibabe:
5 million is less that 3k USD. You can make that in just a month in US.

franvincoop:
3K USD can not take you to the USA.
3K USD can not start a business in the US, except say u wan dey grill hotdogs abi na sausage for roadside.

But 5 million naira go rent u shop, stock am up, still employ person sef for Nigeria.
If you use 3k USD plant only Plantain for dis naija, at harvest time u go get money wey go pass that person wey dey earn 3k usd per month x 12 months for yankee, make we no talk abt Yankee rents and bills and tax.
Na Plantain I talk oh, no be cash crop I dey talk abt.
If you try cash crop like cocoa with 3k usd, you are setup for life after 3 years.
I mean for life, even your children go dey hail u when u don die cuz of cocoa farm aka goldmine wey u leave for them.
Person wey get cocoa farm dey Japa go Yankee na for honeymoon or visit.
No be to go hustle again.
1kg cocoa now for Nigeria na between 10k to 12k naira.
I mean 1 kilogram of cocoa beans.

004gist:
Please this is misleading. How do u tagged 20 people as dependant? Does that makes sense?

U only need a dependent spouse and children that's all. Children not up to 18 years.
And in UK bringing children alongside is not easy as expenses runs high.

Anyone that japa previously spent lots of money...it might not be high as now but they spent money
