With the current situation of things in the country, some Nigerians might wish to japa to at least save their situation.

As a Nigerian, what’s stoping you from japa?

Mine is money

Being the first to comment, which country do u want to go? How much would you need? Or do you think it’s better if we get money for you to start some small business in Nigeria and see if your situation improves?

Thanks

Me, I believe naija will still b great and better economically than the west... So I didn't even bother to Japa....

Instead I want to buy enough land to own more if naija earth space wen it will happen, the only p is that I am getting old ND the day keeps going father and father away....

Being the 2nd to comment, How old are you right now? And can I ask you a few questions?

So, what are your qualifications? Do u believe it’s best if you can be guided on how to relocate providing u have neccesary credentials to land u a job (getting a job isn’t easy too abroad so u have to prepare) or if we can figure things out better and get you some funds to start a small business in Nigeria and we evaluate after two years to see if your condition improves?

Thanks

Lack of funds bro

Money, money

Yes I am waiting for visa approval, if it works I will love to Japa.
My present problem is that I am a DJ and will want to use it as many skills of survival overseas but have no basic equipment apart from laptop.
I need scratcher and few basics instruments which can even help me start earning from online live and stars before even traveling with same skills.
Man is getting old and live no easy
Already venturing in agriculture for the season why I wait for my fate soon.

I wish to go to Canada, I would need 6-10M to migrate. Alternatively as you said, I have a business idea which is selling Electrical appliances in whole sales but I couldn't gather money to start up the business.

I'm not looking to japa....

It's greener over here we just need to look beyond the peripherals.

Looking to establish myself in agro exporting business.

I want a nice country in African to travel to. I need both contact and money to travel

As a Nigerian, what’s stoping you from japa?

Waiting for school term to end for my daughter to Japa back to Nigeria around June-July.

Financial constraint, I believe my future is not here.

Negatively Bias is dominant amongst Nigerians to Nigeria , I Believe caused by Social Media that causes rapid and unhealthy exposure then actively comparing countries leaves the average Nigerian/Contryman to Develop and adapt a sense of survival, a deep psychological false truth , Negativity bias. A Psychological trait , a form of mass hysteria , that nothing good can come out from Nigeria or Nigerians despite obvious progress , It is only the bad that would be noticed the complete good ignored

take now you make a Facebook post and you get 100 comments, out of the 100 Comments 99 adores you for this post and 1 spites and condemns you , ...for some seruptisuious psychological reason (for Total Validation) you notice and focus on just this one , Try to adjust to the taste of this one Cyber stranger. admist plenty of beautiful comments ,Well To Change this Psychological trait is to be self-ware always , be self-aware of what Negativity bias is. and try to remember each little strides matter,Waking up is a win, Completely remove yourself and thoughts from the rat race ( The Race the world seems to be on😊) and most importantly Que Sera Sera. You are where you are because you are exactly where you should be at this point in time of your life, and there is no better place that where you evolved from , to live simply and content .

I am not interested in japaing or will I say permanent stay. Breezing in and out is better. Not every Nigerian dislikes Nigeria that much.

Insufficient money

I Love Nigeria , On Social Media anyone can insult the country, plus I believe in the same vein all Countries have people online actively spiting them , Nigeria is not unique in this trend , Negativity Bias does a horrible one here on the average Nigerian to be lives only him has it worse than any body , no matter the good that comes out of the country .

Because I and my kids will have more freedom and fun in Nigeria than anywhere abroad. As a matter of fact, I will never visit any white country for vacation again except for work.

I have no root or connection here, It is bland and boring with people existing mostly to work and pay taxes.
I will still earn dollars and pay cheap expenses in Nigeria, it is a win win.
In Nigeria, I will have a six bedroom duplex, a swimming pool with zero monthly mortgage, infact, you need to live abroad close to two decades to truly appreciate Africa and Nigeria.

I am not discouraging anyone from leaving Nigeria, I only speak about myself

Okay good. I love that for you. I pray you are able to achieve your aim of living all ur life in Nigeria with no means of ever relocating to the western country again since that’s what u want. No visa for you from now on amen

I do not need visas to visit more than 150 countries of the world and I can afford to. It's no big deal to me bro, we all are not in the same situations in life.
I plan to tour most African countries and hope to have one or two houses in other West African countries.

No real joy in loneliness and severe weather abroad, I have seen, traveled, and done everything, bro. I am not discouraging you from traveling, go and have your own experience.

I don't believe in prayers, they are mere wishes to console the weak and helpless.

I used to dream about leaving Nigeria and staying abroad when I was younger, I hated Nigeria and fantasized about abroad like most people today. abroad was like heaven to me and now, it is a 360-degree turn for me, In fact, there was a day this past January I slept and dreamt about being in Lagos, having fun at a club, I was so happy in that dream and enjoying myself until I heard my name called, I woke up to my daughter calling my name to come drop her off in the school.

I woke up to snow and a minus 15 degree Celsius of temperature and I got immediately angry for being woken upto my reality . That is how bad it is but most people never want to admit it.

Lol you’d be hated on social media if you dare say the reality of how you feel about abroad (heaven). Nigerians will calm for your head and think you’re discouraging them from japa.
