What people dont understand is that "Japa" is not for those esterblished already in Nigeria, but your young struggling people who have nothing to lose!
Not 100 percent correct. I have seen guys who had top positions In Shell that left Nigeria for security and peace of mind. Once you have money and a flashy car, you become a target.
I once met a Nigerian, an engineer. He was crying as he told me the story. I met him where he was working as a security guard in an office. He was the manager of a milk factory owned by an Indian in Lagos and had a staff of about 35 people. He owned his own personal house in Lagos, wife, kids, cars, drivers, maid. He sold everything and moved his family to the USA only to end up as a security guard. He said the Indian business owner begged not to go to the USA. He kept saying, what are you going to do there? You are just going to suffer. He said he wished he listend to the Indian guy.
And the same milk industry has gone bankrupt and left the country. So , either way, enjoy your peace of mind over there than being a milk manager that can't afford diesel or fuel to keep your firm going.
@@obinnabede6718you’re a liar. What “milk industry has left the country”? How does an “industry” leave a country? Do you know what ‘industry’ means? He didn’t even mention the name of any company, so who “went bankrupt and left the country”? That you are a secessionist Igbo traitor doesn’t mean you come online to smear the country and tell lies about it.
Then ask him to return?. ITS ONLY THE LAZZY PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT THIS MAN. NO BE SAME ABROAD I DEY? U KNOW THINGS I DON ACCOMPLISH BOTH ABROAD AND NIGERIA? THE MAN WENT ABROAD ILLEGALLY AND IS NOT RECOGNISED BY THE GOVEMT. PERIOD!!!!
As a Black American, I tell my African friends all the time, unless you are a skilled laborer or doctor, lawyer, chemist, pharmacy, highly skilled IT, or already rich, you may have real problems and it may not be the best thing. The real opportunities are here in Africa.
I came to the US from Nigeria with my parents in 1997 when I was 2 years old. I’m 28 now and I tell my mom all the time that if Nigeria had good leaders we have no business being slaves in America. I dread living here and wish things were better in my home country.
This man is too honest!! Me I don't tell anybody not to come oh!! People are stuck in abroad because of shame they don't have the money to come back.. But if you're poor, you can try it. But not when you are already established. That don't make no sense...
Japa is NOT for everybody. Someone that has own business, built personal house in a premium area in Ikeja, married, with children, threw it all away to get to Europe where he was squating with a bunch of single guys, no business, no house, no money.
The fact is some people will never make it in Nigeria due to lack of connections. If such people have a chance to japa please do. I know someone who can’t get a job in Nigeria and has been struggling for many years.
Like seriously if you're doing well in Nigeria, dont leave, if you're working in a very good company with prospect, running a business doing well, pls dont leave.
Japa is not for everyone. I know a person while relocating resigned from his job, sold house, land, cars, to relocate. After about 25 years, he wanted to return to Nigeria. The house he sold for about N5 million to travel out now cost about N75 million. He could not afford the same house or neighborhood. Its like a person that had a house in Ikeja, returned to buy a house in Ikorodu. He had almost no relationship with the wife or daughter left behind. Imagine leaving a woman at 25 and you returned when she is 50? Everyone has to think deeply about these things
You all should relax. Firstly, have a skill or talent before you travel. Secondly, always have plan A, B and C. And most importantly, we have people doing very well in abroad including myself. Thank you all.🎉❤
Don’t mind them. It’s only people that doesn’t have money or the opportunity to travel that will always support this. Meanwhile the man is still in Europe.. 😂😂😂😂

Things are relatively easy in the US when it comes to career advancement, thanks to the abundance of courses and certifications available. With the right mindset and dedication to studying, it's possible to land a six-figure job. However, my brother, the situation is quite different in Europe, excluding Ireland and the United Kingdom, where opportunities are more limited. Those who are familiar with the landscape know what I'm talking about. I have been to Europe many times. I have been living in the US for about a decade and I know what I have achieved my older siblings who have been living in Europe since the early 2000s are no where close to what I have achieved and not because they are lazy or not educated.

Me I left Nigeria 🇳🇬 in my youth became a full grow woman in Holland 🇳🇱 18 years nerve visit Nigeria back because know document. Thank God is now I got document but before it came money I sent home 🏡 family finished me and did nothing for me so even with document I am still suffering. May almighty God have mercy on me and does hoe have the same situation as me in Jesus name Amen.

Sorry for suffering even in abroad. But I still doubt you. Because, if you are doing minimal jobs, the little you saved, if sent here , will become big money. Ditch your family who are not helping you to invest.
There’s nothing wrong with Canada, Europe or America, what is needed is for you to immigrate the right way and prepare your mind to pay your dues for the time been till you are balanced. It is a matter of perspective. A good example is Isreal Adesanya’s parents who left Nigeria for better opportunities and quality of life. Today, Izzy has broken the curse of poverty, in his family fighting through the UFC. If he was in Nigeria he would not be a fighter. Its all about perspective. Lastly remember success is relative and contentment is wisdom. Think before you leap and be yourself always. No dey copy copy bcos everybody destiny is different.
True but there are also MANY Nigerian families who have lost loved ones to the violence in western world. How many Nigerian kids have been stabbed in the UK? When we talk about success of overseas let us talk about the negatives. May God help us reach our destination in a life.
@@Moabayi-yf6ul Like I said, its all about perspective, you’ve just shared your perspective on the matter and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, in my perspective I shared the Adesanya family story which has a lot of positives cos Isreal was being bullied in school until he started fighting back and the rest is history. I will not dwell on the negative but rather use it only as a precautionary tale to guide my decisions. For example: Kids getting stabbed in the UK is a generalization. Stabbing is more prevalent in some areas than in other areas and I will not use that discourage people from bring their families to the Uk. Like I had said earlier its all about perspective and the law of relativity.
Bless u my brother. THEY WENT ILLEGALLY AND ARE BLAMING THIER FOOLISH WAY TO ABROAD. U DONT EXPECT TO GO ABROAD ILLEGALLY AND THEN ENJOY THIER COMMODITIES WHEN YOU YOUR SELF ARE NOT PAYING THE NESASARY THING'S
I am not from Nigeria, I am from Tanzania. The thing is, In Africa (I dare generalize), getting a five star lifestyle is possible with less money than it is on the abroad. Here, you will need to earn a huuuuuge amount of money (almost impossible on salary), if you were to own a home with a little garden, so you stay in apartments.
I was in UK for 4 yrs. I did an MSc there and returned to Nigga cos of family issues,etc.That was in 2012. Since my return,I have had a PhD and am teaching in the varsity. Now I want to go back to UK or German.And I mean it. For people talking like politicians,life is not all about money.For me, social welfare is paramount.Health education, security etc.All these will influence your quality of life and longevity. Most Western countries are much much better than us and many African countries,by far.I am not begging for food.I have a storey building, cars,an investment and family.But am planing to go back because of those welfare packages I mentioned.Yes,one works harder there,but things work better there and are predictable too. I want to have a qualitative life for the rest of my life.Me and my family. Bro,forget o
My brother it all depend on destiny, you go see person wey enter Europe few months ago go don dey successful pass person wey dey there for more than 20 years. Another problem with most Nigerians abroad is illiteracy and most no get any skills or handwork wey dem sabi do. My advise is just to help our fellow brothers abroad and show them the way if we have one and to advise the ones planning to make the same decision so they have proper ideas of what to expect. The world is a better place regardless of where you are
Unfortunately our African leaders have made us not to cherish home. Europe is expensive and stressful. But what can we do, they deceived us that it's heaven
@juliaokungbowa224 I have been in America for 24yrs .I am lucky I had green card now citizen. Those with out such papers are not finding it easy atall.i do pity for them. I am retiring to return to nigeria in 3 years time. My coconut and palm tree farm are waiting for me.with 6 industrial sewing merchines for garment making.T shirts, leggis and others. Every thing America and Britain have nigeria has more in terms of natural resources.
My brother is the country you chose and the route you use to come abroad I didn’t suffer that much I moved to Sweden after three months my direction was clear now I am a nurse and I am doing well
Everybody journey is different..is not by countries ooo. Na God favour. Even d nursing u re doing.is it easy.u dont even hv say.na hardwork u hv 2 do it.am also a nurse.living in uk. It by God grace not by power. Everybody journey is different . No down look ur bro.sending love to all my brothers n sisters having different in diaspora
People like u are part of the problem, So Stop, we all know u pay 40% of tax to the government, u work to leave, 80% is to bills e.t.c😂 u still living in the bubbles and delusional, stop trying deceive people
This skin comparison is so deceptive. People fail to realize that the look of our skin back home is due to the dust we have everywhere mixing with our sweat because of our unpaved roads. On the other hand, people abroad have false freshness due to cold weather also if we must be honest with ourselves. The abroad fresh looking also mirrors the freshness of our food in the grocery stores or super market because of the chemicals used in preserving them that we also put in our body when we consume these food. Don't be deceived, those in Nigeria may not look as fresh as you expect, the truth is that they're more and very often healthier than those abroad. Go to Nigeria and tell me how many people in their 50s and 60s you find walking around with canes or back braces due to lower back problems. But here in America, majority of the people start developing back problems from the age of 40. Yes, you have the false fresh young looking skin, but you'll end up on a disability line and nursing home, while the people we think are older looking in Nigeria are still waxing stronger in their 70s and 80s. Go to the villages and see 70 years old men ripped with six packs, full of energy than an average of 40 years old abroad. Abeg, let's rest matter, If we rid our streets of the dust, couple with our naturally grown food back home, we'll even look better than people abroad.
It is a true story but those who never go will find it difficult to believe you! I had the experience but am back home! Wise men learn from mistakes of others!
Make una dey CALM down abeg . One thing you all should realize is that everybody’s destiny is different. Some will travel abroad & get a good job & will start making it while some won’t . Everything depends on your destiny .
@@EOMI777 What God said and what eventually happens is conditioned by *Faith*. Nothing happens automatically. In other words, making it abroad or not does not depend on destiny *alone*. For instance, before we were all born, Christ died for the Whole world in order to save it from sin and God's wrath. But not everybody will make it.
@@Siewe_Francois My brother, what you are saying is true. You have to pray in faith and take action in faith for you to see manifestation. But there are somethings, no matter what you do, it will surely come to pass

What about healthcare, security, good education? Money is not everything. At the end of the day - this man is still in europe. He does not have to worry about school fees for his children, getting kidnapped or going to a hospital that will not treat him until he drops money. These are the basic things the average Nigerian will still struggle with no matter how rich they are.
Healthcare? With long waiting times to see a doctor? Education? Where you are being brainwashed that male is female and vice versa,😅😅😅😅😅😅 What are you talking about? You work your ass off to pay huge taxes and ends never meet with 2 or 3 jobs? You are under a terrible illusion! Wake up... second slavery is what is happening 😅😅 Security? What about all the gun violence and knife crimes ?😂😂😂😂 So, no kidnapping for the abroad? You are not informed o😅😅😅
My brother you are correct.that is what happened to me twenty seven years ago.when i was in Nigeria in motor parts i was well known.Do you believe that when i came to this country my BTA i came here is twelve thousand dollars.but now i don't regret coming to this country now
If you go abroad, have a plan. If need be go to school, learn the language If you are living in a non English land, the language is a must to learn. Integrate!, integrate, integrate!!!!. The door that opens many doors.
Exactly!!! This is what I keep saying.. If one is heading to Germany or lives there already, one must learn German to survive,, learn Finnish for Finland, learn French for France, learn Mandarin for China etc, and connect with the locals. Learning a new language is not gonna be easy but it would open doors!!
Truth is that after the colonialists left us they didn't keep anything for the common man. Over 50 years later there's still nothing for the common man. The only opportunity is the same office the colonialists vacated so we scramble into those offices to gain the benefits.
It’s about a change of environment. Some people do well when they get to a new environment and start over. We are all looking for different things and may find them in different places. Yours may be at home. Someone else’s maybe abroad. It’s not necessarily the place but the opportunities it affords you. I know people who were financially comfortable in Nigeria but travelled out because their children have special needs. Nigeria is not yet a place that provides a better life for children with special needs. The parents are advancing in age and needed to secure better prospects for them. They are getting this abroad but couldn’t get it at home. I also know African Americans who are relocating to African countries to escape racism. The exchange rate favoured them so, with their savings, they were able to set up businesses and buy homes in Africa. I know another Nigerian who fled domestic violence and relocated to the UK. She lost everything in Nigeria. But was able to restart in the UK. So, you see that one man’s meat is another’s poison. You find what works for you.
Lol… he aint lying.. i came to the US young.. 17.. college, job, home all here.. i have no experience earning a living in nigeria but i know the semantics of coming here.. if you have made it in nigeria .. stay there .. come for holidays .. i would love to go home and live but jn reality .. nigeria would chew me up
Nigeria is so blessed with enormous opportunities to thrive as a business person, regardless of the government or the economy of the day.... If you're a person of Faith and God said you should leave like Abraham, then no whala. This Land called Nigeria has produced Billionaires, and I'm going to be among the product of Billionaire that comes out of this great country! Thank God for a wonderful country! 🙏🏿🙏🏿 Best of luck to the man and fellow Young and Aspiring business man in Nigeria out there we're blessed 🙏🏿 Amen 🙏🏿
Nigeria is the best place but insecurity is the only in Nigeria. I live in Europe but Nigeria is the best place to enjoy, there is nothing person will tell me about Nigeria it better I have little money I will be safe without fear
@greggemokpae my uncles in the village who are farmers 70 years above don't have diabetes, high blood pressure, big belly. But some over seas and cities in nigeria got disease early. Chronic for that matter. They are always moving, eat natural foods hence they are Healthier
This man should state the means he got to Europe? His qualification? The purpose of his travelling? If you are travelling for a greener pasture. Remember you will land on a plain land, and have to plant your own greenies, and then wait for it to grow. The idea of i am going for a better life is somewhat over "sugar coated" As you struggle to make it in Nigeria, you may have everywhere else.
I almost got deceived by the title. But staying in this town hall country different from balablue , while you are enjoying good social amenities like constant light, good roads, health care, security abroad .
Japa is not for everyone. If you are a professional or a businessman that is already established with personal house, cars, money, family, you need to THINK carefully. You are just going to suffer. If you are lucky, you may make it after many years, many are not able to get to the level where they were before they left Nigeria
There are Nigerians that do well, no doubt about that. But there are many that suffer also. No doubt about that either. Everyone has to consider personal, family, financial situation and make appropriate decision
Sometimes I wish the whole Nigerians can japa from Nigeria to taste abroad for themselves before throwing stones at someone who sharing their experience and opinions, shebi na west una dey complain about,what about those of us in Asian hiding alot that's is going on here. Coming here has made me personally value home and family
I want every country in the world praise their own men like Nigeria do, Nigerians think like only men on the face of earth but we can praise our men as women of countries not be fools.
Africans should learn this and stop disturbing public peace.... life is live every where on earth... If you are doing well in your home country don't travel anywhere to live, but you can go for visit.... There is nothing under the sun.....be happy where you are when God bless you... and stop unnecessary movement...
What people don't understand is coming to Europe isn't for us the grown up , it's for our kids , securing à life far from misery for them , if not , if it's only for us , forget it, europe don cast
@@fromthefountofyouth I went to abroad because after school in Nigeria nothing to show is better I apply to further my education here, my uncle have 3 kids in Nigeria his in Europe and the wife and kids are in Nigeria they are schooling and the first son just traveled for his master's degree and ones others finished they will go . I think is better than taking all at once the wife d visits him. I feel as a man you can hussle your way out ...... That's my opinion
If there is kidnapping, corruption, rule of "community" but not law....etc, personal financial success will not bring you safety and satisfaction. You will always live in fear of the future in your own country. That is what is pushing "well to do" people out of Africa. It is not about your personal situation but the country!
According to him, he looks far younger than when he was, back home. Although he doesn't seem to be doing as well as he was doing back home. Doesn't this communicate to his listeners that there's more to life than just making money? Abroad is good if you look before you leap.
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18) Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise, give thanks to him and praise his name. (Psalm 100:4)
Did they tie you there? Why have you not gone back? If you have a thriving business, why did you not set it up such that you can still make money even in your absence? The story these guys come up with is comical. Go back home if you are tired!
@@desmonde.e378 see what. Good medical care, constant electricity, security, etc. All these you can't find here unless you are highly connected and rich. Even at that, you buy your own comfort here after paying these bills

This man hit the nail on the head
👌🏾
I am not from Nigeria, I am from Tanzania.
The thing is,
In Africa (I dare generalize), getting a five star lifestyle is possible with less money than it is on the abroad. Here, you will need to earn a huuuuuge amount of money (almost impossible on salary), if you were to own a home with a little garden, so you stay in apartments.
Thanks you for this❤
This is my problem now. Abroad slow age of getting married
People think that Europe is easy.
The years it takes to get paper, waste years of someone's life.
@@JanetAbraham-th4dq exactly
I was in UK for 4 yrs. I did an MSc there and returned to Nigga cos of family issues,etc.That was in 2012.
Since my return,I have had a PhD and am teaching in the varsity.
Now I want to go back to UK or German.And I mean it.
For people talking like politicians,life is not all about money.For me, social welfare is paramount.Health education, security etc.All these will influence your quality of life and longevity.
Most Western countries are much much better than us and many African countries,by far.I am not begging for food.I have a storey building, cars,an investment and family.But am planing to go back because of those welfare packages I mentioned.Yes,one works harder there,but things work better there and are predictable too.
I want to have a qualitative life for the rest of my life.Me and my family.
Bro,forget o
This man is saying the truth
The LORD JESUS CHRIST LOVES Us all let's give our lives To HIM Amen
I like dis man, he gets sense. Food business is the best
My brother it all depend on destiny, you go see person wey enter Europe few months ago go don dey successful pass person wey dey there for more than 20 years. Another problem with most Nigerians abroad is illiteracy and most no get any skills or handwork wey dem sabi do. My advise is just to help our fellow brothers abroad and show them the way if we have one and to advise the ones planning to make the same decision so they have proper ideas of what to expect. The world is a better place regardless of where you are
Unfortunately our African leaders have made us not to cherish home. Europe is expensive and stressful. But what can we do, they deceived us that it's heaven
Why not go back?
Come back home then its simple
@@juliaokungbowa224 Give him money, he will return back home, he already said it.
@juliaokungbowa224 I have been in America for 24yrs .I am lucky I had green card now citizen.
Those with out such papers are not finding it easy atall.i do pity for them. I am retiring to return to nigeria in 3 years time.
My coconut and palm tree farm are waiting for me.with 6 industrial sewing merchines for garment making.T shirts, leggis and others.
Every thing America and Britain have nigeria has more in terms of natural resources.
@@joyceadenekan5672 What money? He doesn't have money to fly back to Nigeria? That's a lie!
Evrybody destiny it's not in abroad
Yes, it's not for everyone
Especially if you are a politician.😮😮😮
My brother is the country you chose and the route you use to come abroad
I didn’t suffer that much I moved to Sweden after three months my direction was clear now I am a nurse and I am doing well
If you’re doing that well u no go come dey talk am 😅
Everybody journey is different..is not by countries ooo. Na God favour. Even d nursing u re doing.is it easy.u dont even hv say.na hardwork u hv 2 do it.am also a nurse.living in uk. It by God grace not by power. Everybody journey is different . No down look ur bro.sending love to all my brothers n sisters having different in diaspora
Nurse! Good. Add few certifications and you’ll be flying!
People like u are part of the problem, So Stop, we all know u pay 40% of tax to the government, u work to leave, 80% is to bills e.t.c😂 u still living in the bubbles and delusional, stop trying deceive people
This skin comparison is so deceptive. People fail to realize that the look of our skin back home is due to the dust we have everywhere mixing with our sweat because of our unpaved roads. On the other hand, people abroad have false freshness due to cold weather also if we must be honest with ourselves. The abroad fresh looking also mirrors the freshness of our food in the grocery stores or super market because of the chemicals used in preserving them that we also put in our body when we consume these food. Don't be deceived, those in Nigeria may not look as fresh as you expect, the truth is that they're more and very often healthier than those abroad. Go to Nigeria and tell me how many people in their 50s and 60s you find walking around with canes or back braces due to lower back problems. But here in America, majority of the people start developing back problems from the age of 40. Yes, you have the false fresh young looking skin, but you'll end up on a disability line and nursing home, while the people we think are older looking in Nigeria are still waxing stronger in their 70s and 80s. Go to the villages and see 70 years old men ripped with six packs, full of energy than an average of 40 years old abroad. Abeg, let's rest matter, If we rid our streets of the dust, couple with our naturally grown food back home, we'll even look better than people abroad.
This man is saying the truth 👏 but some people will still sell all , borrow and come to Europe . You advise they don't listen
This man is a cheap lier. HE WENT TO ABROAD THROUGH DESERT ILLEGALLY
@@myeverydaylife8649 okay both of you came together and are illegal.
It is a true story but those who never go will find it difficult to believe you! I had the experience but am back home! Wise men learn from mistakes of others!
I like the sincerity of this brother!
👍👍👍
I lost alot of ground leaving Nigeria the year I left. But with Nigeria government, you can't but leave all behind and start a new life.
So from your experience, do you advise people leave too ? Honest answers please
@@contribution741 tell us practically how a average Nigerian who is struggling can make Nigeria better ?
Just Dey play 😂
God bless this gentleman soul He is blessed with his honesty. Best man speaks the honesty truth.
You are right my brother
😂😢there's no place like home nice one very correct
Make una dey CALM down abeg . One thing you all should realize is that everybody’s destiny is different.
Some will travel abroad & get a good job & will start making it while some won’t . Everything depends on your destiny .
@johnm.3415 God bless you Sir! That's the absolute truth
What is destiny?
@@Siewe_Francois Destiny is the plan of God for your life before you were even born
@@EOMI777 What God said and what eventually happens is conditioned by *Faith*. Nothing happens automatically. In other words, making it abroad or not does not depend on destiny *alone*. For instance, before we were all born, Christ died for the Whole world in order to save it from sin and God's wrath. But not everybody will make it.
@@Siewe_Francois My brother, what you are saying is true. You have to pray in faith and take action in faith for you to see manifestation. But there are somethings, no matter what you do, it will surely come to pass
Nice one bro. U are doing a nice job but u can do more better if u are doing life streams to get people outside ur city involved. There are people outside Roma that want to tell their story. Not just Italy including outside Italy. Think about it. All the same nice job.
True talk sir mostly on that children aspert my elder brother was an enginner in nigeria befor going to finland n was doing very well.. had to wait another 5 years just for him to settledown with the languege,the culture,the food,the climate everything even to make friends n get to know people
Your brother don get professional job in Finland and does he have growth prospect there, in terms of career?
Only 5 years him don settle down? How many years him don dey 9ja and him no settle down and why? 😂😂
@@xcabczyxabczzz nah for the Age when he get na him make i but the five years and for Europe no be Say Person dey Settle 100% nah tò Say at least you done get document and done they fit do things
Misleading headline, he didn't say he regrets his coming to Europe.
What about healthcare, security, good education? Money is not everything. At the end of the day - this man is still in europe. He does not have to worry about school fees for his children, getting kidnapped or going to a hospital that will not treat him until he drops money. These are the basic things the average Nigerian will still struggle with no matter how rich they are.
Very true he's blabbing
Well said
Healthcare and housing insurance etc is NOT for non citizens for that side o
What are you talking about, poverty in Europe no be joke. Also do you know how many Nigerian teenagers are victims of violence in the US.
Healthcare?
With long waiting times to see a doctor?
Education?
Where you are being brainwashed that male is female and vice versa,😅😅😅😅😅😅
What are you talking about? You work your ass off to pay huge taxes and ends never meet with 2 or 3 jobs?
You are under a terrible illusion! Wake up... second slavery is what is happening 😅😅
Security?
What about all the gun violence and knife crimes ?😂😂😂😂
So, no kidnapping for the abroad? You are not informed o😅😅😅
Nigeria is still best place for business with good capital to start oooo
Yes once person no get Capital...Na oyo be the person name
Honest Man 👍 I celebrate you ( the guest speaker )
Wow. Eye opening
My brother you are correct.that is what happened to me twenty seven years ago.when i was in Nigeria in motor parts i was well known.Do you believe that when i came to this country my BTA i came here is twelve thousand dollars.but now i don't regret coming to this country now
If you go abroad, have a plan. If need be go to school, learn the language If you are living in a non English land, the language is a must to learn. Integrate!, integrate, integrate!!!!. The door that opens many doors.
Exactly!!! This is what I keep saying.. If one is heading to Germany or lives there already, one must learn German to survive,, learn Finnish for Finland, learn French for France, learn Mandarin for China etc, and connect with the locals. Learning a new language is not gonna be easy but it would open doors!!
Appreciate the viewpoint
This man is talking reality
He hasn’t learnt his lessons. He is still comparing…
😅you people ehhn
Truth is that after the colonialists left us they didn't keep anything for the common man. Over 50 years later there's still nothing for the common man. The only opportunity is the same office the colonialists vacated so we scramble into those offices to gain the benefits.
What i cant understand is that we run from countries and people are running to our countries and doing well
Who? How? Where?
Yes corrupt people are enjoying in Nigeria.. people that speak truth in Nigeria does not enjoy anything
It’s about a change of environment. Some people do well when they get to a new environment and start over. We are all looking for different things and may find them in different places. Yours may be at home. Someone else’s maybe abroad. It’s not necessarily the place but the opportunities it affords you. I know people who were financially comfortable in Nigeria but travelled out because their children have special needs. Nigeria is not yet a place that provides a better life for children with special needs. The parents are advancing in age and needed to secure better prospects for them. They are getting this abroad but couldn’t get it at home. I also know African Americans who are relocating to African countries to escape racism. The exchange rate favoured them so, with their savings, they were able to set up businesses and buy homes in Africa. I know another Nigerian who fled domestic violence and relocated to the UK. She lost everything in Nigeria. But was able to restart in the UK. So, you see that one man’s meat is another’s poison. You find what works for you.
I like the mans honesty and i think there is sense in what he has said.
Lol… he aint lying.. i came to the US young.. 17.. college, job, home all here.. i have no experience earning a living in nigeria but i know the semantics of coming here.. if you have made it in nigeria .. stay there .. come for holidays .. i would love to go home and live but jn reality .. nigeria would chew me up
Exactly
An eye opener
Our mindset controls the destination of our lives...As a man thinketh.
Nigeria is a lawless country. Not everything is productive like the light, health sector, and strikes in education.
Nigeria is so blessed with enormous opportunities to thrive as a business person, regardless of the government or the economy of the day....
If you're a person of Faith and God said you should leave like Abraham, then no whala.
This Land called Nigeria has produced Billionaires, and I'm going to be among the product of Billionaire that comes out of this great country!
Thank God for a wonderful country! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Best of luck to the man and fellow Young and Aspiring business man in Nigeria out there we're blessed 🙏🏿
Amen 🙏🏿
Very well said
Nigeria is the best place but insecurity is the only in Nigeria. I live in Europe but Nigeria is the best place to enjoy, there is nothing person will tell me about Nigeria it better I have little money I will be safe without fear
Then go back home to Nigeria.
Those in nigeria looking old are healthier and live longer.
Big lie....
Liar 😂😂😂
@greggemokpae my uncles in the village who are farmers 70 years above don't have diabetes, high blood pressure, big belly. But some over seas and cities in nigeria got disease early. Chronic for that matter.
They are always moving, eat natural foods hence they are Healthier
Lmao
@@nduodiaka-ph9sl still capping
You travel for personal growth. Wealth and riches Can be made anywhere .
Exposure matters.
This man really miss home, look at his eyes after when the video ended
This man should state the means he got to Europe?
His qualification?
The purpose of his travelling?
If you are travelling for a greener pasture. Remember you will land on a plain land, and have to plant your own greenies, and then wait for it to grow.
The idea of i am going for a better life is somewhat over "sugar coated"
As you struggle to make it in Nigeria, you may have everywhere else.
Wow
Wow i know this man o
U are indeed a biz man
Health is wealth
Very big fullllll come back na to Nigeria
You are absolutely 💯 but Nigeria weather is not helping
Hmmmmmm oh my goodness.oh Lord have mercy.😢😂
It's funny that we take life changing decisions based on 'effizy'
Also , God's guidance and counsel should be sought before embarking on a journey or relocating.....
That's before. Now ,if you have little money, you become a target.
Yes
I pray one day Nigeria gets better cos we are all tired of living in these western countries.
I almost got deceived by the title. But staying in this town hall country different from balablue , while you are enjoying good social amenities like constant light, good roads, health care, security abroad .
Does dis longivity in settling down applie to USA and Canada??
Japa is not for everyone. If you are a professional or a businessman that is already established with personal house, cars, money, family, you need to THINK carefully. You are just going to suffer. If you are lucky, you may make it after many years, many are not able to get to the level where they were before they left Nigeria
There are Nigerians that do well, no doubt about that. But there are many that suffer also. No doubt about that either. Everyone has to consider personal, family, financial situation and make appropriate decision
Thanks for sharing
E happen to most of us wey dey outside Nigeria, if I had listened to my late uncle I wouldn't have been stuck here,no place like home.
It’s not too late .
You can still move back home …Some are doing it
Thanks you have said it all😂
Sometimes I wish the whole Nigerians can japa from Nigeria to taste abroad for themselves before throwing stones at someone who sharing their experience and opinions, shebi na west una dey complain about,what about those of us in Asian hiding alot that's is going on here. Coming here has made me personally value home and family
Thank you my brother, I live in Asia too china 😂 they will see pepper 😅
Naija no be as you left it 13yrs ago oo, no come o.
This guy is funny
I want every country in the world praise their own men like Nigeria do, Nigerians think like only men on the face of earth but we can praise our men as women of countries not be fools.
😂😂😂he was older in Nigeria 13 yrs ago than now😅😅
Africans should learn this and stop disturbing public peace.... life is live every where on earth... If you are doing well in your home country don't travel anywhere to live, but you can go for visit.... There is nothing under the sun.....be happy where you are when God bless you... and stop unnecessary movement...
This is deep
I wan Japa 😂😂!! We go dey send african food stuff for una as for we na die here in naija.
I know the place... He is correct ...
What people don't understand is coming to Europe isn't for us the grown up , it's for our kids , securing à life far from misery for them , if not , if it's only for us , forget it, europe don cast
If you have your own house why then relocating abroad our mumu never do us
People do it because they feel they and their children's future isn't secure.
@@fromthefountofyouth I went to abroad because after school in Nigeria nothing to show is better I apply to further my education here, my uncle have 3 kids in Nigeria his in Europe and the wife and kids are in Nigeria they are schooling and the first son just traveled for his master's degree and ones others finished they will go . I think is better than taking all at once the wife d visits him. I feel as a man you can hussle your way out ...... That's my opinion
If there is kidnapping, corruption, rule of "community" but not law....etc, personal financial success will not bring you safety and satisfaction. You will always live in fear of the future in your own country. That is what is pushing "well to do" people out of Africa. It is not about your personal situation but the country!
All that glitters is not gold 💯 moral of story
He is saying the truth ❤
According to him, he looks far younger than when he was, back home. Although he doesn't seem to be doing as well as he was doing back home. Doesn't this communicate to his listeners that there's more to life than just making money? Abroad is good if you look before you leap.
As e work for Emaka no be so e go work for Uche
Our destiny is not the same ok
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18) Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise, give thanks to him and praise his name. (Psalm 100:4)
If na only the freshness ...is ok
Did they tie you there? Why have you not gone back? If you have a thriving business, why did you not set it up such that you can still make money even in your absence? The story these guys come up with is comical. Go back home if you are tired!
Don’t mind him..
😂😂😂😂😂
Content creators everywhere.
His type will never help his relatives to relocate.
This is not how to talk to people
Be civil!
Which one is did they tie you there?
I guess you in Nigeria that is why you still think Europe is heaven, come to Europe and see for your self
@@desmonde.e378 see what. Good medical care, constant electricity, security, etc. All these you can't find here unless you are highly connected and rich. Even at that, you buy your own comfort here after paying these bills
Oga come back.
Confirm truth
I have seen and I know many people who made it. Please sometimes interview them make we hear their own side of the stories.
He's right, apart from the work I do personally, I and my wife are into food business as well..., U make double profit for your investment..
I have always told people that there is no Heven on earth
Yes o there no heaven on it m..that's why any one is free to travel to any place he or she likes 😂not so ?😊
They are delusional, always believing that the grass is greener on anywhere else but their home country
