No, this is not the end of japa; it’s the end of the “blind japa” era.

What we are seeing in the US, Canada, UK, and Europe is not “anti-immigrant”; it’s anti-mass-uncontrolled-low-skilled-migration.

Countries are simply returning to the same rules they always had before COVID and post-Ukraine labour shortages made them open the gates too wide.

The new reality (2025–2030):
1 High-skilled routes are still very open
◦ Canada Express Entry points just got higher, but doctors, nurses, engineers, IT, data scientists are still getting PR in months.
◦ UK Skilled Worker visa salary threshold jumped to £38,700, but healthcare, tech, and teaching shortage occupations are still fast-tracked.
◦ Germany Opportunity Card, Australia points test, Netherlands 30% ruling — all still welcoming skilled people.

2 Student route is tighter but not closed
◦ UK banned dependants for Masters (except research courses), but the Graduate Route (2–3 years work visa) is still there.
◦ Canada capped study permits, but top universities and STEM programmes are barely affected.
◦ Ireland, Malta, Portugal, Sweden still allow dependants.

3 Low-skilled and irregular routes are dying fast
◦ Caregiver, farm worker, truck driver PR pathways in Canada are closing or heavily restricted.
◦ UK stopped most low-wage work visas.
◦ Europe is deporting faster than before.

So for the average Nigerian with BSc + 3–5 years experience in tech, nursing, engineering, accounting, pharmacy — japa is harder, but still very possible with proper planning and credentials.

For the person with OND, no skill, planning to enter through “student visa → caregiver job → PR” — that road is almost completely blocked now.

Bottom line:

Japa never finish.
 Na the “anyhow japa” don die.

If u get solid skill, IELTS 7.5+, verifiable experience, and clean money for proof of funds — countries still dey call u with two hands.

If not, e go hard well well.

The wave just changed direction, it’s now from quantity to quality.


Upgrade or stay home.

Simple. 💯

Kudje prison loading. This is why you need a lawyer to articulate your case

Kanu needs a course in anger management. Insulting everyone insulting blacks does not buy you favours. Keep speaking your truth and you will be heard.

Simon Ekpa used the same defence in Finland and he was jailed.

Will you shout at a judge in the UK even if you don't agree with their judgement? NO It is contempt of court. You have not even been sentenced and you are yelling on your presumption

We are yet to see the visible achievements of Dickson as a senator.

As if he was forced to run for the Senate position.

helinues:
Begging to help is different from forcing to help.

Is Trump the guardian of the christians on the mother earth?

SmartPolician:
Why won't the FG be saddled with all the responsibilities when they get the lion's share of the revenue sharing?

To the news, if the railway connection goes well, Akwa Ibom State can bypass FG and pitch the idea of Ibom seaport to foreign private investors who are willing to fund the project.

I always say that project approval is never a problem in Nigeria; funding is always the issue. Investors want to see that there are enough economic activities happening around the project they will plough in their hard-earned money. Nobody picks money by the roadside.

MadPolitician:
The man doesn't want that smoke and he is not going to leave anyone in doubt about his position. He doesn't want to be in the bad books of the US. He wants to be clear from the get go so no one in the western world, will come towards him. He does not want then to think he was yapping at their beck..., neither does he want them to see him as an enemy, he does not want Trump or the American political establishment to beleive he was rallying a negative response in Nigeria against the west.. The man just wants the wind to blow away without anyone ascribing any sort of rebuttal comments from him.. Reasons are plenty:

Akpabio looks very ill these days, and is now always flying to different Western hospitals for treatment. One visa ban and he would be stuck in the same run down Nigerian hospitals with all of us.., the same hospitals that he and his APC friends have refused to renovate or equip.
Secondly, dude as the governor and as a minister minister, must have stocked up several offshore accounts with hard dollars. He knows that even if the Nigerians don't know of this, the Americans know these accounts. One pronouncement from the western capitals and all disappears or will be frozen..

He doesn't want that smoke..

streetshuttle:
People no just get sense for this country and they have refused to purchase one. Just reading all sorts of nonsense comments and it's disheartening that our so called youths have refused to have courtesy. This is a meeting between leaders not an interrogation moments. Muslims alikes are also been killed in the North. Mass at that matter. We just hope and pray this bastards are dealt with squarely. It's high time.

mascot87:
Better, we don't want war. Ipob hopes and aspirations about Nigeria will fail

https://x.com/BwalaDaniel/status/1984754810609156288?t=HCyXejI9guJjqsNPCnNnhA&s=19[/quote]U mean Trump can come to Nigeria? To see who? U no rate am at all!
U said there is gain in dealing with terrorism in Nigeria? U mean the state pardon or celebrating the terrors and paying them off by the government?
Pls tell is something else.
Or
The Druggy will go to US? I Laugh in Japanese... see, just keep quite

saddler:
Nigeria is not a sovereign nation.

Its a British business that failed long time ago

Elvis2kay:
Nigerians should understand that this is not about the killing of the Christians ,, The evil USA want to destabilize Nigeria .. to those ignorant who think USA have the interest of Nigeria pls tell me 1 country this EVIL USA have established peace.. ?

Richtaiwo:
This is the aim all along. To create artificial religious tension, get foreign supporting comment, then feature the failure of pitobi.

E go shock you like 330 kv power line.

Abdul05:
bros, there shouldn't be hatred between faiths..

The right battle Is for justice , equality and peace in nigeria....not a foreign army storming our soil

Richtaiwo:
What are you saying? He has no right to decide the law for his conduct or what exactly do you mean. Is sharia existing in any of the states in the east? So what's the fuse?

Abdul05:
How can Nigerians fight a country where food and electricity are constant.... Please let us be serious,..

But if what bashir Ahmed said in reaction to US interfering about Sharia law..then he has a point in principle..

Trump has no right to dictate internal religious or legal system..unless there is a clear human right violence

Not for long though. I dont think it will remain so for even up to the middle of this century.
China cometh and it cometh fast.

nairalanda1:
The alternative is taxing everyone who isnt paying tax to the government..ie the federal and state governments, which amounts to 70% of the population. It will reduce borrowing, not eliminate it. For that we have to diversify the economy, which apc hasn't been good at.

But since suggesting that means you an 'agbero', and you are 'not interested in fighting corruption ' , the government will still take more loans.

We can't tax to prosperity , but we can reduce our loan dependency via tax

Remember that our budget this year is 30 tr naira. Not enough for 230 million people. Remember also that the budget was set based on the idea that oil would be at 75 dollars per barrel or more. It has been on average 68 dollars per month. That means more loans or for now tax more...and cut government spending a d cut the size of the civil service and remove any subsidies

Long term, manufactured goods and services

P.s ; The above does not mean we should ignore corruption, or that tinubu is good.

AMI3:
Please can u tell us what led to the birth of MNK?
Do u think that if Abacha was to be alive that herdsmen could been killing innocent Nigerians all over the country Without government doing anything?

Think. Do just blame the man without u thinking.

chysam:
You are a very good comedian
Do they also have private radio stations from where they order the killings of security agents in Nigeria?

Do they head a proscribed terrorist group recognized as terrorists worldwide?

Una just dey funny aswear
That guy is on his speedy way to life imprisonment

Bar1941:
How I wish this criminal called Kanu committed this heinous crime during Babangida or Abacha’s era.


By now he would have received a welcome party by Emeka Oloju kwukwu.

He needs to be used as a deterrent to others who equally nurture the plans of disrespecting the symbols of our sovereignty .

Saturnalia:
Lamidi Kanu no get sense at all, including all those singing his praises.

He thinks he can manipulate sane & sensible Nigerians the way he manipulated his vacuous people to believe the Jubril El-Sudani hogwash.
