I don't believe in Japa,the billion dollars remitted by diasporans is not up to the potential of the amount Nigeria will generate locally if all of them stay back home .

"....A situation where Nigerian leaders take advantage of a condition that is costing its economy more in terms of human capital does not augur well for our future.

The energy the government is putting in to attract more remittances could also be used to put the country in a better state that will help reduce the number of young Nigerians the country is losing on a daily basis.


Irrespective of how much Nigeria gets from diaspora remittances, it is time the government stops and improves on the issues chasing the country’s best away."
Thank you so much for this.

The government must do all it takes to ensure younger Nigerians can stay and contribute to the development at home rather than expecting them to reduce the cost of dollars.

5m out of 220m japa. Why not focus on the remaining 215m. This obsession is getting tiring . For everyone that japa there are at least 5 available people that can be trained to replace them except for doctors. Make una rest

Millions apply for slots in the university yearly without success.

Hundreds of thousands want to study medicine but are denied yearly.

Polytechnics are wasting away churning out trash, universities are wasting resources teaching unwanted, outdated courses.

It's simple: Convert polytechnics into universities training highly skilled work force.
Fund universities to do same.

Give everyone a chance at quality education including the poor.

Watch how the country will becomes self sufficient with skilled work force and not notice any Japa effects.
Nigeria has too many universities. Nigeria has not even touched the first industrial revolution, yet Nigeria has more universities than France and UK combined.

I suggest that the government close down 95% of all universities and polytechnic schools, convert them into primary and high schools, and prioritise developing industries in semi-skilled industries such as textile, farming, construction

Many of those that japaed were well established in Nigeria and a lot of them sold their properties to be able to relocate.

Only a few percentage are sponsored by their parents .

Giving a certain demography for instance ,let's use tech guys ,a lot of Teck guys are doing well for themselves in the country and if anyone of them has idea like Facebook etc ,no one will stop them ,the only problem they might have is Nigeria as location source which takes us back to my initial comment that of everyone stay backs and work hard to build the country ,there won't be a need to Japa .

How does the remittance help Nigeria as a country rather than small individuals or family and friends of the sender ?
How does oil money and tax help Nigerian asxa country?
The above is the first question you should have asked or do you expect me to remmit my funds to your government?

I sent 4million to my brother last month to complete his bungalow. He spent all the money buying building materials in the Nigerian market and boost Nigerian economy.

I pay three of my staff in Nigeria about 900,000 every month which I count as a remittance.

Why the hell will I want to keep money in Naira in my own bank account?
Tell me what sense it makes for me to do that.

Very simple, but APC's demonic regime will never do this, instead they will to be a friend and a foe to Nigerians at the same time.

I pay directly from my bank here, It gets to their account in seconds. Even when I was on visit in Nigeria, I never kept money in Naira for more than two days due to the crazy fluctuations.

Why do you find it strange that I have companies and pay staff? I hire with my overseas registered companies and pay from here, what's the big deal?

My major concern is you are not smart enough to realize remittances do not neccssarly mean the money you send to keep in your bank account in Nigeria, reason you are finding it hard to appreciate the effect of remittances on the Nigerian economy.

This is me giving you a free education my friend.

It benefits them because the money you sent wasn't generated in Nigeria. That entire amount is almost dash to the country particularly if you spend it here. Unless you just lock it up.

If the money is your account the bank uses it for business till you need it and they refund it to you.

So if you send 1k dollars to your nigerian account from over seas and spend it here you've remmited to the Nigerian economy. Even if you dash people all the money as long as it is spent here and not generated here it is remittance

The banks take from the Economy, they are the champions of Microeconomy.
The MOney you send home only ends at Microeconomy level.
The true money that enrich the Macroeconomy in Nigeria are the ones generated i n Nigeria.
You might argue this but lets see how you do with your points, I am waiting

Lagos state budget 2024 12.5 billion dollars
Kano state budget 2024 360 million dollars

Diaspora remittances in 2024 2.4 billion dollars.

Can you see the impact on the economy.


2.4 billion dollars comes into the economy without any effort on the country's part and tou don't think that's a big deal.

I Why do you assume I am obliged to disclose my actual location on a useless forum like NL with zero benefits.

You surprise me bro for assuming my profile on NL is supposed to be real. I never make that mistake.I send with Lemonade now Lemfi and always take out money from Nigeria using Africhange.
My account in Nigeria has less than 10,000Naira as we speak.

I will be living in Nigeria by the end of this year and hope to make Gambia my second home.

I would assume the micro economy since most remittances come through the banks.

We can like it or we cannot like it, remittances affect the economy. As we can see they can surpass the budgets of most states.

What is your own point?

The Microeconomy only Benefit the immediate circle of those who run it, i n your case, if you send your Dad money, it benefits you direct family. However if you send a car to your Dad it benefits the Macro Economy.
The Apps we use to remit money to 9ja are registered in Tax Heavens ie UAE so they pay no tax to the FG
Anyway let me stop here.
