[@abasi-anwanonoyom990]

It's mostly Nigerians who are close to or have connections to the Top that advocate to stay in Nigeria.

[@muyiwa508]

Team Japa here. Once you realize that the world is your oyster, you have to look at what society gives you the best opportunity to strive the most. That is why a lot of professionals leave. The opportunities are limited because society is designed against normal people who dont have "connections." That is the challenge.

[@bankoleolajidemartins2938]

Since I relocated to the US, my quality of life has massively improved!. Access to healthcare, the economic infrastructure here support my personal and professional growth, yes, I also make more money!. I love my home country and miss her always o, but I can't trade my wellbeing for sentimental reason of "loving my homeland".

[@courageekoh]

Exactly. I feel we downplay that people just want to be people. Most people relocate because of the possibility of social mobility in the country they emigrate to. Better quality of life as well. Not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur or fight tooth and nail just to have food on the table. Some people just want a decent job and live an average life, which is far fetched for many Nigerians. There's just so much sentiment in these debates.

[@obiflex]

Aliyu Audu you're not being honest. In 2003-2007 so many Nigerian graduates were employed in banking with a decent starting salary of 150k. Many Nigerians who went to the UK for masters took up security jobs and were making equivalent of 300k in Naira. From 2008, 80% of these bankers were fired and have been suffering since. All of these thanks to corruption and mismanagement at the top. Many of these bankers could have japa'd when they had a good job but they had faith in the Nigerian economy. Their mates that went to the UK have achieved a lot over the years and many of them have moved up from security jobs to white collar jobs all thanks to a stable and prosperous society that they found themselves in. Nigerians are seeing that if you japa you're better off financially than 95% of your mates in Nigeria even if you end up as a security guard abroad. This is the reason why people are leaving Nigeria

[@Expidience]

This is a very interesting and controversial topic , but listening to Temitope, Aliyu, Adeyemi and JJ, you will be able to draw a contrast between the intelligence and intellectual of the ones living abroad and the ones living in Nigeria. Let’s not forget that Nigerians abroad are the ones keeping Nigeria economy on life support with an estimated $8 billion dollars remittance in 8 years.

[@Sachealbrainbox]

Very right ... currently carrying out a research on that ...remittance is really keeping the hope of a common man in Nigeria

[@robbycarson4999]

Preach!! 🙌🙌 The African diaspora remittances are literally carrying the continent on its back when it comes to the common citizen!

[@joslims]

The intelligence and intellect between the ones living abroad and those in Nigeria is like Night and Day. The ones abroad are more practical and real.

All the lady in red is talking about is money, money, money. The reasons why people relocate is beyond only money and cheques. If I may ask can you take a walk out of your homes at 12midnight or travel from North to South by road?

[@ejirolucky6981]

She does not come across as deep, or having a proper understanding of issues.

[@muizzmabayoje2835]

The real problem is the mindset of wanting to take rather than give to earn. For all that people complain about let them come out and say what they have ideas to contribute. What a shame.

[@okirichard4204]

​@@muizzmabayoje2835 How many contributions have you made and how many of those contributions have been listened to and implemented.

[@jayaustin1939]

How could you take a country whose leaders travel abroad for medical treatment seriously? How? That says a lot doesn’t it? It’s an indication that they have no plans for you. Clearly the lady in red is in a bubble that is shrouded away from reality in Nigeria. The narration of the average Nigerians day by the fellow in Canada says it all. Common electric power supply is herculean for our so called leaders. Common power. Yet they want you to eschew the opportunity to leave. Sadly, a revolution is the only way out.

The security situation alone is enough reason to Japa not to talk of other worsening economic and infrastructural reason. A country where you can't travel from one location to another safely without being killed or kidnapped by terrorist and bandits.

[@technopreneurialminds]

This Audu man should let us know the brand of made in Nigeria car he drives as a worker at the Presidency!

[@muizzmabayoje2835]

What brand of car do you produce? What product do you make at all? Do you think the better countries people run to would be there today if their people didn't face their problems with commitment to solve them. I think what the real problem is is that the average Nigerian only thinks of what he can get by taking what's available rather than getting from what he would contribute.

[@trollthetruthand5458]

I still don't understand how Nigerians complain about sort comings no 24/7 power or proper water supply lack of infrastructure but go to school to do the exact opposite of what is needed smh, then watch the Chinese come right into the mix doing what's needed..

[@robbycarson4999]

There is a good chance that those buying land right now, also sold land to facilitate their trips abroad. They are basically replacing what they sold in the first place. I'd consider it turning the equity of yo land into working capital to boost yo business. Btw, land by itself can't buy u an air ticket to go work abroad until it is liquidated!

Like the lady said, we are our own problems, we all had a bad behavior in our country before japaing, but when we get to foreign countries, we change our behaviors to adapt to a normal behavior.

Blaming the westerners of "neo-colonialism" as an excuse for our failures is called "self-colonianism". It is the worst kind of colonialism because you a politician that saw his country in high level of employment, insecurity and massacre of her citizens, absence of power supply, harsh economy or starvation with thousands living in IDP camps in their country and the first thing they feel to implement is 160million each to purchase cars from another country whereas there are car manufacturing plants in Nigeria who are getting customers from govts of other African countries. They will be in America treating themselves and tell doctors to stay here with low income and low patronage with no assurance of security or not being kidnapped. 6billion is meant for car park while salaries are not increased. The VP starts buiding castles with 15billion and this is to be borrowed, and they said someone is colonising them, how? Nonsense!

A Nigerian immigrant in the US here. My take is, if you think you stand a chance to progress your career abroad, please do so. There are pros and cons to Japa-ing. Living abroad is not all that glamorous except you make a lot of money. Most people abroad live from paycheck to paycheck. If you are comfortable in NIgeria, if you make good money over there, it's best to stay. Integrating abroad is also no joke. No matter what level you had risen to in Nigeria, when you relocate it's like hitting a "reset" button. You literally have to rebuild your career. Most important thing, do what makes you happy.

Is colonization the reason why there is no security and basic infrastructure?. As long as we continue to play the blame game we can never get out of the mess we are plunged into.

[@robbycarson4999]

But seriously mr Federal politician, how much head start do u need to have in place the basic needs of our communities like functional health & water systems, infrastructure, public schools & transportation, etc? Thats y a lotta Africans r leaving the continent in pursuit of their own dreams. African officials need 2 stop with this nonsense of making lame excuses for their failures & incompetence. Nigeria's natural resources have ended up in the hands of a few elite Nigerians mainly through the corruption plague. These few elite have deliberately & selfishly decided 2 pursue their own dreams at the expense of their fellow citizens.

Criminality is legal in Nigerian constitution which is signed and approved by the three arms of the government. It is better for Nigerians to stop or minimize producing numerous kids.
