Even our pastor will pray heaven down for us to travel out of the country. By this time next year I see you in America, UK, Germany.......then you will hear a thunderous Amen..... Then you will imagine who will remain for the church if all members japa......

Lol...... you are just talking about post alone......

Nigerians throw party and go for Thanksgiving service after making it their No1 prayer request.
They offer cow and co in appreciation for securing visa, such a shame and disgraced country!

Dear Scott Bolshevik, People don’t celebrate Western citizenship because Nigeria is unlivable — they celebrate the stability, systems, and opportunities their own leaders failed to provide. Nigerians thrive everywhere except where governance holds them back. Fix the structures, and you’ll see people celebrate Nigeria the same way.

One of the effects of bad leaders in Nigeria

This is the end result of decades of exploitation, suppression and oppression. Nigeria isn't safe again. It is a huge prison, and the prisoners (citizens) are always trying to escape.

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.

Oga, I don't know why you say this. Can you please say more on why you think so?

Our so-called leaders caused it. They have made Nigeria a laughing stock while they are busy enriching themselves with our resources and acquiring wealth for their children.

Let him wait let me get mine next month I will celebrate it to high heaven. He will not understand because he did not witness the disgraceful country called Nigeria.

most of you would ran away, settled down in those great countries and be supporting evil government in Nigeria because of the person leading the country is your tribe. If Nigeria is so good, why must you japa?

Sir, escaping home is not only a dream, it is an ambition, vision and lifetime goal that even someone in his hundreds still nurtures the ambition of escaping this God forsaken terrible country with wicked politicians called leaders

Look

Oga there is no stability or system abroad. The system is killing average Nigerians over there. The difference is you will eat well and clothe well over there and even send small change back home. But is it worth it.

Slavery of the mind is difficult to format

You can't really blame them. Poverty is a plague that has ravaged our dear country and coupled with our madness as Nigerians, so anyone who escapes feels he/she has "made it".

Instead of home sweet home it's home is hell.

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.

If you know, you know......

Did their forefathers not flee Europe for the New world?

When the Irish, Poles, Italians got to the US, they suffered from lots of prejudice and abuse. They were treated as third class.

To them , the Italians were to dark. The Irish were fit only for the lowliest of jobs.

Don't let him distract you.

It's a Ghanaian account pretending to be a foreigner.

Na bad leaders cause am. They just don’t want to die but to spoil things before they die

It's not my first time coming to Europe.

All my sis and brother's,my wife and kids are all there.

It's only me and my mom that's in Nigeria.

I've got to go before agadonians start their tax wahala

Truth be told. The way Nigerians celebrate visa is becoming embarrassing

In addition to the fraudulent practice in the above link that was promptly penalized, many Nigerians like him do worse in Nigeria and complain that the country is useless and hopeless. Do we talk about those who are employed in government agencies and departments but never report to duty, yet collect monthly salaries? Are they not also part of the Nigerian professionals who japa only to go commit the same abroad like the doctor?

Corrupt Nigeria police no dey japa?

The ones who bypass their electrical meter no dey japa?

Validated:
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.

No mind the sycophant

The man was right in what he said. I don't know why Nigerians in US and Canada, especially, celebrates acquisition of citizenship, with great spectacle and funfair. The inferiority complex of some Nigerians abroad could be nauseating. Most times, they do it thinking that they are "peppering " folks back home with their new status.

I'm not leaving Nigeria for anything to go and put up with those Americans and Europeans and their nonsense lifestyles.
I have a good number of family members there and many would not return to Nigeria again, but I don't find there attractive.
Nigeria is a nonsense place but I'm not running to any place to begin to lick a white man's behind.
I'd rather remain here and structure my life to live good in the midst of the chaos we have here and that's what I'm doing and it's working for me.

The joke is on us, truly 💔💔💔

Which one tastes better: Tache' pistachio milk or palm wine?

Palm wine of course! Why? Because most people here have not tasted pistachio milk and cannot compare effectively. The people who say Nigeria is great can be excused because they don't really know what life is all about. They have never lived in a society with 24/7 power supply, covered drainage, clean water, well-equipped hospitals with emergency services, good road network and salaries are paid on time.

Don't debate them. Pray for them.

There is truth in the message. But how do we ascertain that it was not from a mischievous impostor?

Now this is very funny

Kewekubosineh:
This is instructive. Eye opener.

Government at all levels should make our country livable so that Japa syndrome will be put in check.

The political class are our problems. They're misgovoverning the country that the youths and working class wants to leave the country for a better life.

Politicians earn huge salaries without commensurate input. We have weak institutions. As a result, corruption thrives.
Nigeria is now a laughing stock amongst nations of the world.

Nigerians are scattered everywhere outside our shores seeking better life. Our neighbors throws insults at us because of how things are bad at home.

Nigeria needs a pragmatic leadership!

Tribalism & religion don blindfold the people of Nigeria three much🤔

The worst of us ruling the best of us!

It's just unfortunate!

So long it's a dual citizenship and not like he denounced his country.. Everybody celebrate such.

However some Nigerians do too much and make it look like a they won a lottery but I can't blame them their leaders have turn their country into a shithole. its that bad. apc legacy

To you ane your co-travellers,it's a disgraceful country.
However,for millions of sane Nigerians would believe in the need for reforms, it's a graceful country.
Let me remind you that regardless of where you go to,you are a second or third class citizens.
Slave

50% idiots!

45% tribesmen!

5% citizens
🤔

When tribesmen/idiots full for country & also occupies the corridor of government,how the country wan take move forward?

The 5% citizens just deh choked.
