No group celebrates Western citizenship like Nigerians. They make a spectacle of it and you’d think escaping home is the dream.

Is Nigeria really that unlivable? Scott Bolshevik mocks Nigerians.

The far reaching karmic consequences of the slave trade. Blacks sold blacks as slaves and this is the end result. It will continue until the scales are balanced.

I always shame when I see Nigerians celebrating this.

Many of them are not innocent in the decay and disgrace that is Nigeria. Only difference is they are now in a country that will not tolerate what is tolerated in Nigeria.

Even if I have to take up such "shameful" course of action, it would be in quiet and private, nothing to celebrate in an economic refugee return to the same places ones ancestors did everything to escape captivity and slavery.

When citizen run out of their country like it's at war.

Silent war theater, where feeding is a struggle.

Don't mind PBAt and his defenders including his information minister who sees the obvious and keep denying.

Sen. Remi is no longer active or talks again what happened?

When agberos, touts and school drop outs are ruining the country, professionals leave for greener pastures. Tell me how many of your leader's children are schooling in Nigeria. Tell me how many of them do not have a homes abroad. Tell me how many of our leaders have no foreign bank account that they stash our commonwealth in.
When you finish answering these questions, then tell me how many foreign Presidents, Prime Ministers, Heads of Government, etc buy houses in Nigeria or even come to Nigeria for medical.

You now see that those of you defenders of evil governments are the problem, not the professionals japaing.

Which touts are running the country?

The politicians today were not professionals yesterday with work in both public and private sector?

Stop fooling yourself that some innocent professionals have to japa because touts and agberos are running the country. The touts and agbero are still in the gutters and it is the very professionals you want to glorify and acquit that are running this country aground with their greed and lack of foresight, despite all the foreign exposure they have.

Yesterday, you voted a "NEPA Certificate", today you have "certificate forgers". People without genealogy and history. These people have taken Nigeria 30 years back.
In your "overhyped and celebrated" slum, MC Oluomo and his team of agberos call the shots. In the North bandits are kings. In the East and South South, it is militants that call the shots.
Tell me which sane country in the world still struggle to generate 4500 megawats of electricity for over 200 millions citizen.
Ontario Power Generation in Niagara Penninsula generates 2400 megawatts for less than 400,000 inhabitants.
You think you are living in Nigeria, you are just existing. The more reason professionals are leaving. Some go out for courses and realize that LIFE IS WORTH LIVING.

d dream is to escape from Nigeria. Even the politicians with money always send their children abroad to escape from the evil spirit here

You are comparing a tout and agbero to a commissioned officer who passed all necessary training and rose to be a Major General while also holding all notable leadership roles in the military and political military?

The certificate forger you refer to is a well known alumnus of the tertiary institutions he attended in the USA, with both picture and academic evidence of his scholarship in that institution. An Accounting technocrat who rose to become Treasurer at Mobil Oil of Nigeria that is today known as ExxonMobil. He has been a Senator, 2 term Governor of the most complex and economically vibrant state in Nigeria, a party leader who contributed political expertise that kept the democratic opposition alive for many years - something we now realise many still miss him when compared to the current rudderless opposition without patience or strategy.

Those who Japa are not in anyway academically or professionally superior to those who have become Governors and Senators and Ministers and Presidents in this same failed country. We have had Phd holders in political government, Professors, Medical Doctors, Senior Lawyers, Engineers etc and you want to paint a picture that they are touts and agberos, in order to make the ones who did not succeed in Nigeria feel good about their economic refugee status in foreign lands.

Only professionals have ruled this country and you will not excuse them from blame that should be borne by all whether they are within or now without.

Those who shamelessly celebrate their new citizenship are part of the failure that is Nigeria even in their own general followership and leadership in their little stations of authority while in Nigeria.

Make him wait abeg I get interview for Swiss embassy next month.

Before Dec 30 I go leave this agbado miscreant make them dey enjoy their country.

Let me go to Swiss and pay tax abeg.

It is partly a mindset problem.

Give some of them well paid jobs in Nigeria, they will rather choose to flip burgers and drive trucks abroad, just so they can pose in a winter jacket and head warmer.

Because escaping is actually THE DREAM!
...but everyone celebrates a new citizenship

What does he have to say to when Europeans were japa-ing to Africa in those days because of our mineral resources?

If dem explain to this guy, e no go understand. 😂😂😂

Why won't you celebrate leaving the zoo to world of possibilities and magic

Its actually a shame when people celebrate this.

This is the consequence of a having a dysfunctional country whose hypocritical citizens would never agree it's not working

Honestly its sickeningly embarrassing the way Nigerians celebrate this japa thing. The way they even go to church and other places to seek spiritual help to travel is irritatingly embarrassing.

I keep saying it; THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT JAPA.

Do you see the look of treachery his woman at the back gave?

Many have been mentally conquered and why such will always continue to happen.

I don’t know what’s worth celebrating in having a second citizenship. They celebrate it like they made heaven.

Everyone is not flipping burgers abroad, by the way truck drivers earn good pay, Dangote drivers can never dream of.

Even if I get an offer of N5m monthly salary in Nigeria, I won't resign from where I am, to relocate to Nigeria.

You can go to Jos and wear same winter jacket and head warmer. 😂😂😂

It's because Nigeria is a disgraced country,Oyinbo you won't understand
