A Nigerian lady has expressed her shock at the large number of people she saw at the Belarus Embassy in Abuja. She explained that she had gone there for a different reason but couldn’t hide her surprise at the overwhelming crowd of Nigerians trying to leave the country.

In the video, she said, “God, I’m currently at the Belarus Embassy, and I can tell you for a fact—people are leaving Nigeria.” As she spoke, she turned her camera to show dozens of people waiting outside and around the embassy.

Still in disbelief, she added, “I didn’t expect to meet a crowd like this at an embassy like Belarus.” Her reaction reflects the growing desperation among many Nigerians seeking to relocate abroad.


Watch the video.

Summary:
A Nigerian lady was shocked by the large crowd she saw at the Belarus Embassy in Abuja. She shared a video expressing surprise at how many Nigerians are desperate to leave the country, highlighting the growing "japa" trend.

Put poverty and bad governance aside, this is peer pressure. As a matter of fact, most of the people here can afford to feed well in Nigeria. Poor Nigerians do not have money for passport and visa. Poor Nigerians cannot afford local flights, talk more of international flights. Abi dem dey use visa for desert routes?

My comment is based on the caption of the post. I don't waste my time on such videos. What brought the crowd is also what brought her. So whatever she thinks of the crowd also applies to her.

Anything to escape Tpainn

Nor be the same Belarus wen dey fight on behalf of Russia for Ukraine?

The fight in Nigeria kills more people than the one in Russia.

Anything to trend. Na today people dey japa? Make we see crowd for u.k embassy first

Many people done tire... You can't blame them Na the country cause am.

People are moving to sri lanka

You are talking about Belarus

They are heading there now and later they will begin to voice their grievances. Everyone is seeking an improved life, yet they go to these countries and start engaging in criminal activity.They know themselves

Belarus wey person no dey even hear for football tournament, na im Nigerians don dey rush like JAMB form! 😂

This is Tinubu's handwork. He turned Nigeria to hell.

Belarusia..

A fine balkan state in a fine continent.

Na crowd be this?

You no go TLS for ikeja make you see crowd

She claimed that she had gone there for different reason. May those people were there for different reasons as well

PresidObi:

Period. Exactly.
As in nigerians are now so used to bloodshed that they dont even know how far gone they are.

The numbers of killing in nigeria daily now even surpass war torn countries

I guess anywhere will do for my people.

People are tired of this suffering.

These are clear signs of a failed government of a nation.


A government that have made the youths to lose complete confidence in their country.


The only hope of most Nigerian youths making it in life is through Japa and let me not say it here, it's a shame and some people are still advocating for the same failed President to continue, to do what again self?

I will watch the video later, make I secure this land first.


Don't bother wasting your data to watch the video there is no crowd in the video. People just want to create content for unnecessary reasons this days.

Assuming all these people that want to travel out succeed in leaving Nigeria now, will they return to Nigeria when someone better than Tinubu becomes the president?

people have been 'japa'ing from time immemorial, I think it is truly peer pressure these days

There is nothing in Belarus unless they want to go fight in Russia as cannon fodder

Like this am in Afghanistan, Dey play!, stay there and keep been surprise, this country can only be redeem by God, which he will not. God has left Africa

It's not peer pressure. There are really no good jobs in Nigeria. The few ones that pay well are extremely competitive.

I remember applying for an NGO in Abuja that pays in USD. They have just one slot and asked for a webinar to meet applicants and explain what the job entails. Over 150 applicants signed up for the webinar 😀😀😀😀

Nigeria is in a big mess

They're all running away from Tinubu's regime. They know that this Nigeria can never be better under Tinubu

our school mate Alex is in town , hahaha, so everywhere is green ,

Don't blame them for trying to japa to a strange land.

But to be truly honest if you can survive in Nigeria you can survive hell. What actually is the difference between living in Nigeria and surviving in hellfire??

Please shed more light

Please shed extra light

They say more words make the forum more interesting.

Nigeria has 230 million+ people. What is the big deal in less than 50 people at the Belarus embassy?

Even if 3 million people leave , they will hardly be missed. Except doctors and nurses, au revoir

Japa or die trying issa goal

Hdhdjdkskdkdjdjdjdjdjmdksksk

What sort of sensationalism is this? I don't see a very large crowd in that video.

Second, she's talking as if Belarus is a poor country with uneducated folks which it isn't. Coincidentally I read and watched documentaries years back about Belarus. The standard of education is very high in that country being a former member of the defunct Soviet Union which placed strong emphasis on the sciences, engineering, etc, so you have a large pool of men and women who are today in the tech ecosystem, investment banking and more.

Third, for those trying to get to Belarus through their embassy in Nigeria, I hope some of them are NOT allowing themselves to be foolishly recruited to go and fight in the Russian-Ukraine War through Belarus which is a key ally of Russia? Belarus has also faced Western sanctions for allowing Russia to use it's territory to launch attacks on Ukraine. There is ALSO CLEARLY a language barrier so they have to learn the local language.

Due diligence is key. Period.
