U see what I'm saying, Nigeria has already happen to you. See how you are all worked up for nothing, already angry and ready to fight. Modesty and love is not in your dictionary. And yeah, I valuewiping ass and securing people, so far I'm happy and live comfortable.

If one chronic disease catch u for Naija, that's when you will know the shithole you are in
Most of you people are just evil tbh. Chronic illness don’t happen abroad?

Sell the property bro.. it’s worth it. If it’s not enough, sell your kidney, liver and two eyes. You’re going abroad bro..it’s worth it.. when you get there, the white people will get you another eye, kidney and liver. Their country is very advanced and there’s nothing they can’t do. Please sell what you have and leave the country

That’s why the best thing to do as a Nigerian is to kill oneself if one’s not able to japa from Nigeria.

I actually have the same view with him. Nigeria will get better o. It can't continue like this.

Even though I have applied for visa for myself and kids but not sure I can japa if given visa. I love to buy plenty lands and properties first to secure the future of my kids too. I gained admission in Canada and they asked me to pay a deposit of less than 1m to process my visa. The truth is, I lost interest because I'm not an early morning person. I like soft life n I can only get it here in naija.

If you have money, buy properties and keep o before u japa. Let me keep this here
Of course, Nigeria will get better, it’s a matter of when.
It seems like there’s a structure put in place to ensure things worsen after every successive government.
Imagine someone waiting for Nigeria to be better till they grow old and leave the earth.

And yes, it’s good to invest back home. But it’s easier to do when earning abroad and sending the money to Nigeria to buy real estate.
Someone in Nigeria might not be able to afford 30m naira to buy properties in Nigeria. If such person japa and is doing ordinary cleaning or security jobs, such person will afford it.

My advice for you: Go now and use 10-15 years to make as much money as you can, come back to rely on your investments from those monies.

Real! True at the last statement. Since Trump is the president of Nigeria, it’s only wise to know that things will get harder for Nigeria. Also, literally 98% of people in Nigeria currently are white people

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 . smiley
Why will politicians be stealing money and allow Nigerians to rot?

People need to japa to get the experience.

That's the only way they can appreciate some good things in Nigeria like organic foods, social life, true freedom.

Beyond a certain threshold of wealth, Nigeria is awesome when you don't have to deal with the struggle of common people. Heaven on earth is having a remote job that pays in $ , € or £

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 would rather be a Villager in my own Village , than a second class citizen in another mans land . smiley
Village that insecurity from Fulani kidnappers and other local elements will not allow you to stay safely.
I would love to stay in my village in Delta and do real Agro business but kidnappers are driving farmers from their farms which is the main stead of livelihood for the people.

Insecurity is the only reason I did japa from Nigeria, nothing else.

@POSTER: I need funds for Agro business.

I do not need visas to visit more than 150 countries. It's no big deal to me bro and we 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.
Pray that your village people do not remember you and open your case file. You will cry to the God of your fathers for help.

Do you think it is for nothing that Charles Taylor is now the pastor in his prison in the Hague? People think they are too much until they are hit with a major life-changing event that turns their lives upside down. Then they will remember that there is God.

I know an American family that moved back to Nigeria (Port Harcourt) with their children (the man was in Nigeria before). They so love the community/family love, the comparatively cheap organic foods, family values and discipline in child raising etc. Their only wahala is Power.

You are living in the bondage of fear my brother. I don't have village people and Charles Taylor is a criminal who needs to learn from me, not the other way round.

CT is a stark illiterate who not be taken seriously. Man created the concept of God.

Wait o, what’s happening? I thought yall hate Nigeria and will rather be in jail for eternity in America than to live as a billionaire in Nigeria? Ahaha what has changed? I thought 99% of Nigerians are poor and desperately want to leave the country? I can’t believe we still have Nigerian who want good things to happen to the country? Thought we all want evil to happen to Nigeria.

Or are yall lying on this thread? What happen to the japa wave of 2021 to 2022?
The reports coming back from the Japa wave after the honeymoon period of the initial Japarians have not been rosy grin grin grin As people come dey learn that relocation is not a piece of cake some people in Nigeria don dey get sense small small

Because ehheeen I don’t understand what’s happening again..similar thread like this on twitter, I saw Nigerians saying they’ll rather make it in Nigeria than japa and spend 30million naira from their hard earned money ..I thought they all were kidding..here on Nairaland again people don’t seem to be bothered about japa again unlike before when u see us saying we will rather die in America prison than to be successful in Nigeria’..

Something has changed I don’t know what it is. Maybe the cost of japa is discouraging them or the recent anti immigration stance from those countries

Real! I like you. You’re so smart. Most of them don’t even know the okro, maize, rice, beans, elubo and all the foods we eat in Nigeria were given to us by our people in the USA. Without them we will never eat

the only thing stoping me now is money if I see money am out of here in the next 2 -3 months

irumole1975:
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
