Argentina, Brazil and Canada are all part of America. Don't narrow it down to USA.

oglalasioux:
Including the thousands of generations that emigrated from Europe to the Americas?

There's hardly any human being living in the lands his or her ancestors originally lived in the last 1000 years. Moving is part of nature. Don't discourage people who have the means to emigrate and better their lives.

CoronaVirusPro:
They don’t research and find it difficult to face reality.

When people tell them the harsh truth, they take them as enemies

People have sold houses and everything, only to come change diapers in the west.

FinidiGeorge:
And this is Mississauga... And I saw another video of Abike Dabiri today with some Nigerians in Brampton where a Naija bakery owner and a female pastor handed over Agege bread to Nigerian asylum seekers as palliative and a man telling them to hope on God, while Abike pointing to the camera for the rest of Nigerians to see, saying "it's not worth it".

Some of us who went abroad slept in odd places till we found our fit. Thanks to Almighty for showing us the way....

It is multifactorial. Generally the older you are at the time of "japa", the harder it is to adjust.
1) It can be socially isolating. At work you have to adjust to the accents, and cant even laugh anyhow, and will just be tensed up... you finish work and come home and wont see anyone to talk t.. you go to church the same thing. Unless you find a Nigerian church.
2) The weather: It can be cold, and annoying, and will make you want to stay in doors and not come out
3) Lack of sunlight. Honestly there is something about seeing the sun that gives one joy. If youve lived in a country like Nigeria with beautiful weather, and correct sunlight, and you are now transported to a place with gloomy depressing weather, ah your brain sef will be doing some how
4) Bills. You've migrated with all the expectations. Your people sent you forth at the airport. They told you job full everywhere, money is everywhere. You work .. and by work I mean you put in those long hard hours ..and are paid your first pay check and see how much is deducted as tax. and how much finally ends up in your account. In Nigeria you are used to surviving on your paycheck + bribe+ plus urgent 1k. You can owe Iya Basira, and owe your landlord, and sort electricity. Now here you are surviving on paycheck alone which is "Salary-(taxes-monthly rent-monthly phone bill-monthly gas/water bill-monthly deduction to send home-monthly deduction for car insurance). What is left off is then saved. And then there is the pressure because you are seeing the ones that are carrying" you know what" flaunting on instagram,and making you look like an idiot, and lazy... and you begin to wonder wether it is not the same Japa,or God that you are serving.
5) When you were in Nigeria, you had an excuse for not succeeding. You could blame Jonathan, Or Buhari, or Tinubu or ipob. Now you are here, and have arrived... and typical oyibo expects one to take accountability for their actions. The buck stops on you. No one to blame for your lack of progress but yourself.. so some folks fall into depression because a sheep in Nigeria is still a sheep in Canada, Uk etc. Someone that used an agent to sort through university, used an agent to find them a school abroad, an agent to apply for their visa, has now come to a setting where you have to DIY. No agent will tell you how to apply for that extra certificate that will help you advance your career, no agent will tell you how to create a strategic long term plan such that in 10years you will be at the top of your career, no agent will tell you what classes to choose to develop the skill sets that are highly sought after. So someone who has always lacked the self efficacy, and accountability, someone who doesnt know how to take ownership, and blames others eg " my mother is a witch", "my village people did me" " they sent me poison"... will struggle badly, and can fall into depression.

This isnt all... but just a few random thoughts

You’re telling me to stop pocket watching because I sound like a ‘jealous hater’? Respectfully sir, I’m not the person killing phone, tablet, and computer batteries burning up data and making countless threads discouraging strangers from leaving the shores of Nigeria due to the size of their pockets and everything else under the sun, but you definitely are.
Gisting is for everyone but finger pointing is not.
Toodles, Sir.

1stGenAmerican:
You’re wrong, little guy. Sorry but I’m NOT sorry. Your failed tv speech isn’t red pill by a mile, it’s what real Red Pillers call INCEL RHETORIC. Red Pillers don’t think, talk, or act like you—try harder.
FYI, I have Nigerian blood running through my veins but I was born in America. I bagged a Bachelor’s, an MBA, and a Juris Doctorate with my own sweat so sir, who has time or energy to be mad about what a man does for another woman when I’m self-made and paid? Everything I have I’ve worked for and unlike you, nobody can claim it or take it away from me. Yes, I have men willing to spend on me because as you can see, I’m beautiful but I can spend ten times over on myself what any man can spend on me—there’s levels to this thing we call life but sadly, you aren’t anywhere near my level.
Do you keep the same energy for men as you do women? Do you step to men, trying to give them pepper or are you one that builds his broken ego by bullying women? No, I’m sure you don’t because guys like you are intimidated by real men. Instead of SIMPING for the entertainment of other men for FREE, go grab a shovel and go fill a pothole, grab a bag and pick up some rubbish off the street, feed a few hungry kids, and confront a few of the politicians burdening your future generations with debt so they can live lavishly—you might actually grow to respect yourself more than you do now.
Peace to you, Sir.
