In the inaugural episode of our documentary series, we delve into the compelling narratives of five individuals who made the life-altering decision to leave Nigeria. Each participant shares intimate details about the factors that caused them to depart, as they open up about their personal experiences and struggles, which include the #EndSARS movement that gained international attention, the standard of living and their plans for their future.

Great stuff! My relocation story has a few chapters that started off with me being at the center and ended with future financial capacity considerations at the end. After leaving LASU, I vowed I would never do my Masters in Nigeria, so I gunned for the UK but stopped when I realized I wouldn't be able to stay back after studies (I saw no point in making the journey if I wouldn't have the luxury of some choices at the end). Fast forward a few years later and my colleague at work told me about the Canadian Federal Skilled Workers Program, unfortunately, it was ending and Express Entry was starting. With no Masters degree, my wife and I had low points which meant a long time on the queue as we had no relatives in Canada. Then we had our first son and I started thinking about the kind of life I wanted for him and his siblings, and more importantly, if I would be able to afford that lifestyle for them in Nigeria. I did some research and got some information from a friend. Left Nigeria for Germany to do my Masters in 2015 and I can say we all have ZERO regret.

This is nicee and traumatic at the same time 👏👏 Everytime I wake up and remember my family members are still in Nigeria, it breaks my heart 🙇🏾‍♀️

[@TheOTLoveTrain]

OMG! We know this feeling! May God continue to protect us all ❤️

[@NumexP]

Its so funny how Olu and i were in the same sort of positions. Our wives more or less made us see the light. Kudos to Toyosi for giving Olu an ultimatum.

[@TheOTLoveTrain]

Haha thank God for great women ❤️

[@oluwatosinbabalola653]

I remember the story of the lady who had the accident with a container( via a newspaper). Recently when my HR told me i was not sacrificing enough and that she does not appreciate my effort. This is when you sacrifice to give your client the best. Although she later apologised but right there i did what a man got to do

[@Being_Fola]

This is Absolutely Brilliant! Very well Captured and Curated. Real Stories, Real Emotions! Absolutely Amazing. I am already convinced that Documentary is your thing, like NO CAP! I enjoyed watching. I was glued to the very last clip. Can’t wait to see part 2! And I pray that wherever we find ourselves on the face of this earth, that God Almighty continues to protect us. I pray that we find peace, happiness and Favour. I love this ♥️

[@nathanielahemokhae4505]

I decided to leave Nigeria when federal government refused to pay me my doctor salary for 8 months. I was practically living from hand to mouth during this period. As soon as the salary was paid my Japa process was initiated.

[@SamiAfolabi]

Dorothy's part of her friend really made me emotional😢 Likeee Pray we all still in Nigeria gets the chance to live a better life somewhere somday🥺 And Uncle Lekan's Oga 😂😂 The "Damnn" that followed the realization 😂😂

[@jokotolakehindeolurin8203]

Great concept. Your reasons for leaving are valid. While for me, I don’t think they can ever be enough of a justification for me to consider leaving. I feel like if I am meant to, I would already know. May we all prosper wherever we find ourselves.

[@TheOTLoveTrain]

Amen! I love your perspective and self awareness so much!! ❤️ Everywhere has its pros and cons, may God just protect us wherever we are 🙏🏾

[@GiftWogu]

#EndSARS was so sad. I remember lying on the floor in my apartment because I heard gunshots from my area. It was so traumatic and that made me take leaving Nigeria seriously. This is such a beautiful documentary.

As a Nigerian still in Nigeria who still complains everyday 😂 the situation is bad but i don't think its all rosy there too we still watch the news and hear of devastating things over there but ours is more as a result of negligence and bad government but my prayer is we should be where we ought to be per time and flourish anywhere we are......

I don't think I've ever commented on your video but I absolutely love this docuseries so I'm sharing my experience. I was working in one of the big Nigerian banks. There was this auditor who was a great soul. Cheerful, helpful, gentle, not 'out to get you'...One morning, we were told he died in an accident on his way to a conference organized by the same bank. My colleagues were bawling their eyes out. Me, hard girl... I was shaking on the inside. My boss said.. His chapter has closed. Let's open to customers. Not one second of silence. Nothing. Nobody was normal, but we still worked that day like nothing happened. From that day I started to wonder whether it was the same everywhere. I decided to go see. Japad in 2022. It hasn't been easy but at least I know if someone dies, I don't have to act like it is business as usual.

[@SallyKVlogs]

Hello dear, I'm so sorry for this loss. I'm happy you were able to leave for a better space. PS I heard about the auditor story too. So sad.

Creatives 👏 fun👏👏 content 👏👏 that’s what both of you bring here, but you see this documentary it’s on another level, everything from the editing, lighting, position and most importantly the people and the content is top notch this topic hits home especially end sars, man no man to get a job, degrading one’s ability to do a job because you think the person is nothing.. Above all Nigeria is a great country!!! Nigerians are great people!!!! But our GOVERNMENT/PEOPLE actually needs to do better!!!😢 Can’t wait for the rest of this documentary!!!! I hope you guys get to do it with immigrants in other countries as well and as you can!!! Weldone, more grease to you guys 💕

Toyosi's japa argument is strong only for someone who relocates from Nigeria and goes to such places as Canada instead of such places as the United States where the rate of gun violence is high. Someone could get shot on the streets of several American towns and cities as well.

[@therealntumba]

The reason why life is easier abroad is because the slaves + citizens built it. Canada, the beautiful railway were built by the Chinese, and many of them lost their lives. America black slaves built it. The moral of the story is that in order to better our native countries, we must be willing to have a revolution and also be willing to die for it so the future generations can have a better place to live. If all the well-off people relocate, what about the poorest of the poorest, who can not leave, what will happen to them? who will advocate for them? its the people (citizens +slaves) who built these countries. Its not their leaders but the people. Once we the people realize that we can have a revolution like France and overthrow our leaders, it will change a lot. Every country has their flaws its just right now that our flaws include not having the basic necessities. I am not against anyone relocating as i am a child of immigrants myself. For those of us abroad, we can go back and build jobs, not just schools. People need jobs, invest in building the roads, and improve our water system or whatever that we can do to help support our countries. We already have enough schools, churches, and houses. Right now, people need employment and security. Do not just blame the president lets take matters into our own hands.
