trully speaking

Wotoporiously cool speaking

If I want relocate from Nigeria shey na place like the UK I go come go abi say I no get sense, relocating is different from just travelling, people japa for different reasons best know to em, I believe if person wan go somewhere make them do their research about that place if at all that place go fit the reason of them going there, if you know you ain't gonna find what you looking for in that country then why even bother thinking about it, na the mistake most people dey make, every country get their ups and down and they also get wetin every individual dey find, na you Bleep up if you go country wey you no go fit really excel for your career choice or way of life.

It's just like comparing the UK to the US in terms of football, any aspiring footballer with a real intention to become a well known star wouldn't dare boycott the UK for the US except you just wan play for money or fun, that's just an example I'm giving so you can understand what I'm saying.

If I dey see people dey come online dey cry say wey dem dey no favour them I go dey ask myself say wetin carry you go there in the first place, abi you nor do your research before travelling.

My conclusion is, most people that complain when in another environment actually didn't do their research or don't know what they even went there for in the first place that's why they find it difficult to excel there, meanwhile I understand that there are other mysterious factors that can determine a persons success or failure in a certain environment but even with that if you had a purpose in the first place, trust and believe me, that purpose will come to light one day.

Some people just have the mentality that they must leave Nigeria because nothing good can come to them as far as they remain in Nigeria. It is a mindset, and for those group of people, your epistle cannot help them.

Regardless it is way better to Japa than remain here..do you know how difficult it is to run businesses in this Nija?if different set of police no disturb your business with illegal raids abi na efcc or Ndlea then illegal bodies will keep coming to give one fake tax or the other.

Nepa will never give you constant electricity yet they bring massive bills to you and if you buy units you can't even enjoy it and you will use all your profits to buy expensive fuel or diesel to keep the place running. Abi is it police that will kidnap you until then use pos comot all your money just because you dey drive Benz?or them go plant drugs for your car to set you up,abi na your business competition go use police bully you or frustrate your business,you know how it goes with the police in Nija normal abi na kidnapping or bombings if you loose guard?you go dey do 007 moves to sneak enter your own house make kidnappers no track you enter with you,abi na hospital and medical emergencies that Nija hospitals will ALWAYS fall your hand one way or the other?

Bro surviving in this shithole na fulltime chore..do you know you can have an investment and one day your opponent will be in power and just decide to demolish all your properties or seize them just like that like what one Minister is doing up and down in Nija?but that can never happen in developed countries.
Re: Why You Shouldn’t ‘japa’ If You’re Doing Well In Nigeria – Candy Bleakz by Nnamdipapa(m):
I disagree.

Japa, get the experience , pali and foreign cootacts and, return to Nigeria.

Then visit annually. Do not sell important assets.
Living abroad is the biggest education of my life. It completely changed the way I view things.

Fyi-
Japa is different from leaving Naija with a visit or Shengen visa o. You are only a visitor and can never have same experience as a migrant.

Point of correction, if you dey Lagos where there is minimal security issues. Other states in SW na die. Shebi travellers were kidnapped in Ekiti and a Canadian returnee was killed in his hotel room. In Ogun.

Someone who is earning 4 million naira a month in Nigeria (3000 usd) is richer than someone earning 10,000 Cad a month in Ontario, Canada.

With your 4 million, you are earning almost 50 million a year. A nice duplex in Enugu can be as cheap as 100 million. Your 2 years salary can get you a duplex.
A duplex in Canada is about 1 million cad. Your 120k cad a year will need to be saved for about 9 years to get you the same duplex.

Then there is the issue of community. You have a social life in Nigeria. It comes easy. In Canada, you have to make extra effort to have what resembles a social life.

Most successful Nigerians lived abroad for a while and came back. Think on it if you are a big person in Nigeria currently. The grass is not greener on the other side
How many people are receiving 4M naira a month in Nigeria?

If you are not into any crime they'd manufacture one for you on the spot - it is nothing personal and they're not interested in arresting you, they just want you to give them money!

Whoever worte this is a lazy freeloader. No don't work hard and pay for what you used.

Stay in Nigeria where people don't have to work and still managed to pay bill.

Nonsense!

Exactly, Na that peace they're looking for where them they japa to.... She's talking as if we no dey pay bills for Nigeria.
Don't mind the idiat! What does doing well in Naigerian even mean? You don't have to have all the money in the world to live in a society, what determines a good country is how every citizens are able to afford to live in their country.

He is afraid of bills, grin but buys petrol for his noisy generator, gas for cooking, provides water, provides electricity, buys food, cloths, pays for hospital treatments. I am guessing those are not bills in his understanding

Please ignore her statement ooo partially cos there are more to japa than UK! I understand UK is not that rosey compare to other countries abroad especially when you are graduate that can defend what you study. Cos most people says they are graduate in Nigeria but they cant defend what they study when they got here! There are better countries to earn better like Luxembourg, Switzerland, Holland, Norway, sweden, finland and many more that you can earn from 5000 euro upward when you are a graduate and know ur profession wella!!!!!! UK na just mouth but still better at the end of the day than Nigeria regardless of whatever!!!!!!!!

When people start making this kinda statements then they are thinking of "Japaing" i am sure this guy will "Japa" soon. He is just afraid to make the move. cheesy

What does doing well in Naigeeria even mean? I guess he mean if you have money. So Naigeeria is just for the wealthy.


If all citizen in a country cannot afford to live comfortably and able to afford basic commodities in their countries, then they are free to leave and go else where.

Why some Naigeerians worry or afraid of bills i don't understand. What do they even think bills mean? If you are buying petrol for your noisy generator every week, provide your own tap water, aircondition. electricities and repairs your noisy generator or buy food and groceries, pay rents. What do you think those are? grin


People spend more undocumented/bribery money in Naigeria than in the UK, America or Canada.

I'm considering animal husbandry, a relative promised to grant me some funds for like 10 years if I can find buyers for some of his properties here in Nigeria.

I would like to know, can ₦15m setup a good farm for goats and maybe sheep?
