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.
I will never say that on social media bro. I make thousands of dollars weekly taking people abroad from all parts of the world. I have clients from Europe, the Caribbean, East Africa, and other West African countries. Hahaha.

In real life, I always say abroad is heaven and Nigeria is shit, that is how my company becomes profitable, so profitable that I pay some staff about N300/month in Nigeria. I am into Immigration, Education, HR Corporate training, and Tourism.

It’s Sunday and most people are either at home or back to home from church.

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?
I do not intend to. Just want to start farming

Honestly, since japa became almost like a manthra in every Nigerian's mouth, I began to detest the idea! Don't know why I hate the herd mentality of doing what every other person is doing. This is not to say that I might not eventually travel but that's not just in my mind at the moment.

Nigeria is sweet when you have money to invest so for me I'ld rather get myself something to do here(livestock farming) than Japa.

Like the brain dead Agbadorians,
I am standing on the mandate of the drug kingpin, spurious origin, fell-from-heaven president to deliver on the electoral promises he made.

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 angry immediately for waking up. That is how bad it is but most people never want to admit it.
So which country are u in now?
Re: What Is Stopping You From Japa? Let’s Hear Your View by Casham: 12:43pm On Feb 24, 2025
I think the japa syndrome is propelled by nothing other than low self esteem.

A Nigerian generally considers himself lower and inferior to a white man. Most Nigerians worship white people.
We hate been black and despise anything black. So this Japa nonsense we are hearing has very little to do with financial independence. We are a loud-mouthed people who complain about everything, especially the government; as long as we are not the ones eating the national cake.


We are just slaves of our own making. We are a disgrace to our ancestors aswear.

I have no reservations to japa, it just can't work for me, I enjoy my work flexibility and the little money I make in Nigeria.
Re: What Is Stopping You From Japa? Let’s Hear Your View by burudichange: 12:45pm On Feb 24, 2025
Me I need a helper ..I mean a good samaritian that will help funding my japa then when I get there I will hustle and pay back insha Allah.

The last 50 years was the best period for poor countries to climb their way into prosperity. Several countries were able to do it—though at varying levels of success, but still they did. With the advent of Trump 2.0, the coming years are going to be brutal for countries like Nigeria.
