Everywhere out of Nigeria is not abroad. Where exactly are you living and what do you do to earn over $2500 after taxes and living expenses.
Average salary in UK is £30k remove £10k for tax. Cheapest rent is £1k a month then bills cheapest another £300 a month then feeding another £300 a month. Transport cheapest is £150 a month

How much is left?

Ignore the Op who posted that trash,where does he make $2500 a day.He may be in Naija and posting that lie.Most of those arrested for drug trafficking including the Tai woman arrested in Lagos said she was promised $3000 to embark on such a dangerous trip and someone is coming to tell you that he earns $2500 a day.

So many broken homes was mentioned too because the men foolishly took or invited their wives over and later turned them to destitute.

This is one reason why I am never interested in japa

I am not rich but I am not hungry. I do not want a life of work work work every hour. I am big on family and spending quality time with my kids and wife. I do not what to goto a society where work will deprive me off my family because I need to pay for everything I use. Nigeria is bad but we are not hungry. Atleast I can still provide for my house and pay our bills. What is missing is luxury but the necessities are there. I am working really hard to get the luxuries but I am grateful for having the basics first.

I have seen friends travel abroad for greener pastures leaving their families behind. The closest one often cry in my DM everyday despite being gone for 3yrs now. It's a regret but he cannot come back empty handed because he sold almost everything.

The other friend after 5years in UK came back. Looking darker than he was and loss weight. He told me, he had to run back because the stress was too much. He was doing fine in Nigeria but decided to join the japa wave, going to do menial jobs, working in warehouses, taking care of old people etc when in Nigeria he was a big man with several workers. Thank God he didn't shut down his office, he had something to fall back to and decided to swallow pride and return home.

Ask them how difficult it has been to renew their stay papers. Find out after spending so much for masters degree why they are still doing menial jobs. Find out how they have buried themselves with extra shifts just to earn enough to pay bills. Care jobs are like gold now.

Nobody is persuading anyone not to japa but what she is saying is that bitter kola is not as sweet as it sounds.

In Nigeria people work for 28 days and they are offered peanuts, some below below 70k that's depression on its own

So, you witnessed MOST of them voting for APC?

RETARDO!

and someone like you went to school?

Do you even KNOW their number not to talk of KNOWING If they voted AT ALL or the party they voted for?

Yet someone like you would be criticising others or the government?

You are a certified fool that is full of himself!

We told them spending the huge cash to Japa is not the best option but they thought going to obodo oyibo is a solution. Nothing we can do about it it's their decision many of them are sleeping rough daily living like a destitute with no hope anywhere and the funniest things is many of them are doing well in Nigeria but out of uncontrolled ambition, ignorant, unecessary fear of the unknown, wannabe maniac many of them ran their lives t the bricks and they are knocked off.

I told many here then having visa is nothing to what you will face in those countries, you can't just jump into a foreign land with nobody there to help and guide you it won't work easily but they said my mouth is smelling now go to Canada, Germany, UK, France, Moldovia, Azerbaijan, Turkey etc and see them.

Why won't people want to run into uncertainty when you have made a certain mess of the country.
There are those who get there and regret,yes but you the political class have contributed to it by destroying the economy.
Anyway as for me,I only leave when I'm directed to.

So people japa to India? It's as good as someone japaing to Nigeria. More indians than Nigeria are japaing.so why will someone japa to India? Spain is okay if you are a remote worker and earn in dollars,it's quite cheap. Get those Latinos pregnant and your path way to being an eu citizen withing the next 10years is okay

People come online to say they regret traveling abroad. Oya come back with the money you have made so far now, it’s probably higher than what you had before traveling abroad, then they’ll start giving excuses.

However, if you’re broke abroad with no path to getting a green card or citizenship, e.g. if you overstayed your tourist or student visa, then that’s a valid reason to regret traveling abroad

who is not broke abroad. Everybody in america lives paycheck to paycheck.
In the long run Nigeria is way better that abroad.

This new APC propaganda against jakpa will also fail woefully just like every other of their useless policies. One fat man was blabbing about not traveling if you have 40m the other day, the hypocrite forgot that while a career civil servant in Nigeria cannot make 40m in his entire life time, a Nigerian doctor paid in dollars can make more 40m in a year, even a normal cleaner shuffling 2-3 jobs can make 40m in less than 3 years.

You are calling on bloggers to sensitize the public instead of calling on the Government to put things in order because that is the number one reason people run away from Nigeria. They shoot somebody on the leg and you are bandaging the head.🤣🤣🤣
