Jappa only helps preserve CORRUPTION- THE GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. By Nigerian proffecianals leaving only opens up the Country to CHINEESE INVASION. CORRUPT AFRICAN LEADERS LIKE CHINESE BECAUSE CHINESE PAY INTO POCKETS OF CORRUPT LEADERS. THEY DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE NIGERIANS TAX STRUCTURES.
God bless you for this your comment. Im a cameroonian leaving in Cameroon and I've been trying to know what country is better for me to immigrate but its not easy
Don't go to US and say you're bringing your family in a few months. It will shock you, some country don't give sh*t about family reunification. If family is more important to you than economics, go together and rough it out. To each, his own.
@@ElizabethAyodeleI am aware of helping people improve themselves. I have helped Thousands 😂😂. If you read and know anything at all, like I said you’d realise the economic value and other benefits of migration. Even if you spin it, I am still helping your lives in Nigeria 😅😅
This Man speaks so sensibly and wisely, he knows his why's and very confident in his life choices and even very smart in his choice of words, plus his humility is admirable such a great guy... Nice one Waka Waka doctor 👍
Awesome Dr. He didn't hide anything at all. He really downloaded the info; unlike other BAD Nigerians that doesn't SHARE info; my Father God will continue to bless u Dr & the interviewer. ❤
The point here is: leave your comfort zone. Developed countries give everyone a fair chance at meeting their basic needs. Which then make it easier to scale-up.
@@officialDTOtv Leaving Nigeria to go look for an easier life elsewhere is not leaving your comfort zone. You're literally doing the opposite. You're searching for a comfort zone instead of solving the problems that your people are facing. It's a selfish self preservation endeavour.
@@kennedytsokodibane3058 let's be honest, there's no easier life anywhere. To make a living, one has to work hard first, then, smart except one wants to cut corners. Now to the realities of the majority of Nigerians(we cannot/shouldn't always see things from the lenses of the privileged), everyone cannot be high up the ladder of success but when your earnings from that menial jobs can give a sense of self worth, when the everyday regular Nigerians can feed well from the little they make, when they can be sure that they can access good healthcare with their little means, when they can be sure their children can have basic education in a sane environment, then we can clamour for staying back. Else, people should go to where they can have some form of decent lifestyle. It's the same reason people leave the villages to the cities.
@@kennedytsokodibane3058There is no easier life anywhere. One has to work hard first, then, smart to be successful and I bet you know that Nigerians work hard but there's nothing to show for it. I speak of the majority of Nigerians: the regular everyday Nigerians (cleaner, driver, even professionals such as nurses, doctors, teachers) who work hard but cannot make ends meet. These people are solving problems everyday in their own right. Every human who is working should be able to have decent meals, live in a good house, have access to healthcare, water etc to say the least but that's not the case with the majority of Nigerians. A cleaner in the UK for instance can afford to buy a car, live in a fairly decent apartment and eat whatever they want! Until these basics are sorted, people should move to where they can have some form of dignity and reward for their labour.
Not only that their immigration laws is not that rigid, the police ain't messing with you and you ve equal opportunity to make it if you know what you re doing with or without documents
@@chipx8886the last point you made is absolutely valid. As much as the rest of the world criticize these countries for their wokeness (which I kind of agree), they're the most free nation states in the world. Literally anyone with the right mindset and some elements of luck gets a shot at creating wealth in these countries
My earlier comment was a reflection on why we needed to japa in the first instance. I am old enough to recall that people only went abroad to study and as soon as they were done, they returned to Nigeria with great pomp and ceremony and began to produce and help the country with their skill set. This is no longer the case. By japa back, I was actually referring to some who went back to Nigeria and did not have a nice time after living so long abroad. Emphasis on the word SOME not ALL. At the end of the day, everyone shall deal with the cards of destiny that they are given and make the best of it. Wishing us all well.
If you don't find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day and realize that the money you thought you had, had been exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
Am looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you think I should be buying?
I sympathise with Nigerians. One of the few countries that produce oil in the world, the number one economy in Africa, yet citizens want to leave their country Crazy!
Nigeria’s economy has slipped down to #4. GDP literally halved South Africa is 1, Egypt is 2, Algeria is 3 Libya is the largest oil producer in Africa, Nigeria also lost that spot.
@@FestusIOsifeso you are completely wrong, Nigeria 🇳🇬 is still the biggest economy in Africa and the biggest oil producer in Africa, get your facts right.
This is a very deep conversation. Africa might remain on the same spot for so long if some of these issues aren't addressed. Then again, how can Africa as a continent make progress when you have leaders who are backward, reteogressie in their thinking and approach to leadership, and just want to remain in power for the rest of their lives. These are the issues really.
This borderless Africa is the reason why Ghadafi and Abacha were killed. They hardly travelled outside Africa except it was very important , they wanted to create a single currency for Africa ,they encouraged indigenous industries and sent most of the foreign owned busineses packing or made them partner with citizens . The west ( UK, US, Canada , France ) want us to remain underdeveloped. So Japa if it's your destiny to and for the sake of a better future for your generation .
They only comes for the money, they elect their ownselves among themselves who to be next candidate to take the money. None really care deeply to help but Mali, Senegal and some fear are standing their ground to the oppressors.
I was glad to see Kenyans and Nigerians protesting against government. As for Nigeria, the country is very rich in resources and culture. And they should keep the government working for the better of the people. ✊Viva🇿🇦
I support you sir, yhose that are suppose to build the country are using the resources to build thrir families. So,make we go find how to build our own families
You need Divine guidance. Europe is becoming more xenophobic. Politicians switch policies to get votes. They don't care about your family. Better together.
@@kelechiogbogu6617 I am in Finland and yes I am a permanent resident….. so come and tell me the opportunity here in Finland am still yet to see it , and mind I came as a student , I didn’t come here through the boat ……..
We tried to choose a better one, but guess what ? the election was rigged. All our efforts as citizens are being sabotaged by the bad leaders who will not still want us to progress.
There is an increasing immigration rejection surge in the developed countries which makes me question why we have failed to build our own homeland. I mean even in Nigeria we have people asking to repatriate their fellow Nigerians to their native states. I think we should put the global surge into consideration and start asking for better from our government instead of solace in japa-ing to other countries especially in this crazy world and time period.
Yes I agree lately I have been doing lot of research about Brazil Education for foreigners is free Giving birth there is great your child Nationality automatically The siblings, parents, and grand parents of the child gain permanent residency. After 1 year the parent get the Brazilian passport, With a Brazilian passport you can move to about 130 countries visa free...🎉❤ Brazil has an amazing opportunity for foreigners especially if you learn Portuguese.. and learning Portuguese in some schools is free... 🎉🎉🎉 I love Brazil but so many people are criticizing it.
This man is hilarious and manages to put across very serious points in a lighthearted manner. I just burst into laughter when he said 'desert, and water' 😂😂😂😂
You are wrong by saying it is not your responsibility to build Nigeria, it's people with such mindset we have in government because they are irresponsible, i give kudos to those Nigerians who are out there protesting against bad governance, if we don't build Nigeria nobody will build it for you
Please it is the government's responsibility to build the nation, and to permit anybody to assist. The average Nigerian is not permitted to interfere with nation building without a permit or licence from the government. To avoid getting sued by the same Government.
@@michaelronami7140 please I want to ask you a question, who are the people in the Nigerian government? are they humans or spirits? they are humans of course fellow Nigerians and how did they find their way there because of the irresponsible and passive attitude of many Nigerians, don't point hand to a few corrupt officials and say it's their sole responsibility to build the country, responsibility start's from you
I think the idea of rating passport strenght by number of places you can visit alone is not enough. More important things should be things like economic opportunities available for being an holder of such a passport, benefits of being a citizen, respect accorded to you at different borders, ability of your government to bail you out of crisis etc
The background fact is that if you can move around easily, you stand a better chance of permanent relocation to the countries you consider ideal. A Brazilian has 172 more chances of relocation than a Nigerian.
Chude, while I have my challenge with one of your choices back in 2015, I must sincerely say that this is a blessing. I am literarily in shock with this particular content. I am sharing it with my fiancee and I am sure heading to IG to follow this great mind. Thanks for all you do for the community, Nna.
If u dey japa Japa to an English speaking country o Unless you are less than 20 and have the patience to start learning a new language If not they will use you to do suya
God bless you Waka waka Doctor! You have ever been my ardent motivator since I discovered your channel. I want to and will move abroad anywhere in Europe, Asia, Russia or so just because of my children, because I can’t imagine them having my own past or present experience. God bless you!
Though the Dr is speaking sense but that Cuba he mentioned no make sense....Cubans swim to the US just to be free from their country's regime...Nigerians cross the desert to get to Europe...same thing, its not about light and visa free isshh...they failed to mention one of the biggest reasons why pple move to US, UK, Canada can also be tied to language, alot of pple would not want to move to Brazil to start to learn Portuguese...i think the Dr needs to do a deeper dive to this issue of migration...i can say a lot about this
Nigerians never listen to the full message. People will always move to where they see as better. Cuba passport strength is 68, Nigeria is 92. Unemployment in Cuba is 1.35% - do you know that of Nigeria?? People move to places that are better, that’s why Cubans and Brazilians can move to The USA I am willing to debate with you if you want. One of the end goals of migration is assimilation which includes learning a language. It’s why we travel/ migrate.
😮 You are definitely not smart. Do you know the population of Cuba? How many of the total population of Cuba do you see attempting to swim to the US? You villager.
Bob the Builder comment is rather flippant, he’s smart enough to do a better narration. Nigeria is the way it is for many reasons Nigerians hardly understand - uncontrolled population, poor human capacity, poor infrastructure, depleted resources arising from international arbitration. By all means travel if you can but stop disparaging your country online, folks like you enjoyed subsidised education.
Tell that doctor that for the radiologist that reported that chest X-ray not to see that cancer nodes on the chest X-ray you also can’t see it cos you just said you’re a physiatrist doctor so it’s totally different oga dokita
You're very wrong! Building Nigeria is not the responsibility of everyone, it's the responsibility of the president and governors. Putting equal responsibility for the success of Nigeria on the common man and the president is one of the reasons why Nigeria is in such a mess. Someone has to be held responsible for the development of the country and that person is the president. But in Nigeria we absolve the president of his responsibility which is why no Nigerian president has ever done anything for Nigeria at all. A proverb says that the goat that belongs to the whole community will die of hunger because nobody will feed it. As a citizen, my responsibility is to better my life and obey the laws of any country where I choose to live while doing so, full stop!
I think the major reason our people insist on UK, US or Canada is because of language, especially those with children. They need to move to English speaking countries where children can integrate easily
The government, politicians and the unpatriotic citizens attitude gives him the right to discredit Nigeria. Home or abroad we all need a sense patriotism to build the Nigeria that we're dreaming about. The Nigeria we want is in us, you don't need to be a builder to build NIGERIA.
If you are planning to 'japa,' at least to the West, your absolute recommended age limit is 40; preferably less than 35. Note, it doesn't matter how educated or a professional you are in your career, you will start from zero, maybe going back to school - on student loan. Meanwhile, your colleagues you left at home are junior managers, starting their ascent. Think, think, and think again. But the standard retort is always: "If it's that bad, why are you there?" Then they come, are burnt and the process is repeated. If you have something worthwhile going on at home, please stay there.
@Ifeomaa Yeah, this is the exact same mentality I'm talking about. Until the fingers are burnt. Then the process is repeated. I repeat: DO NOT come out here (legal or illegal) assuming that your qualifications at home will count for much. I know enough Nigerian, Indian and other African doctors, engineers, and accountants driving taxis and portering patients in hospitals. I remember the Pakistani who was being ordered around by a young lady on cleaning the warehouse floor - he had been a tea factory manager in Pakistan, and was almost in tears. Yes, you can absolutely get things back on track - and many have done, but you WILL HAVE TO go back to school. The question is if you want to do that at the age of 46, on student loans. And where those you left behind will be, in relative terms. A few, on- demand professions, such as nursing, have a relatively easier path to absorption. At the end of the day, the reader will listen to everything, assess, make their own decisions, and be responsible for those decisions.
@@msemakweli-wk3lgsorry to burst your bubble but i and my peers migrated here as professionals and got into countries as professionals, retaining our previous Professions and are doing very well, the people you speak of, maybe you and others, ask them well, probably people who left without mapping out their lives. Their are people who studied theur masters outside Nigeria, and after used that degree to get a job outside. Stop fear mongering. A lot of people leave Nigeria without different plans, what a big risk, thats the only. Also, stay in your country and work i out, because your peers will advance in careers is null and void. People who were earning 250k in 2021 now earning 700k in 2024, there is no difference in that money. 700k now is the same as 250k. The problem is that the people you know left Nigeria with - “let’s see how it goes plans, let me do masters and everything will fall in” NO IT does not work that way. If you are uprooting your life, you should make so many contingency plans. Leaving Nigeria opens people up to a world of opportunity, it must not be to UK, US/Canada, there are so many countries,you heard japa and immediately thought “UK” (the issues you’re explaining is very common in yhe UK) and this is the number one issue, UK is not the only available country, it can be a means to end, it can be the end depending on how you plan.
@@samsonoluwatosinomoloyin9469 Very serious. Follow those other lies at your own risk. But at the end of the day, it's your own decision. I'd suggest you do some good investigation (and comparative assessment) before you take the plunge - if you are above 40.
Good interview but please Chude next you are interviewing . Please form your chairs a bit further apart. You and your guests feet were literally touching each other. Better still have a table as demarcation between your guests.
This mindset of we Nigerians believing that building our beloved country is not our business is why Nigerian government take citizens for granted and that individualism is why we don’t hold our government accountable and we all wants to Japa now rather than building Nigeria 🇳🇬
The truth is that, the way the constituition is Designed, there is absolutely nothing anyone can do! Even if you Talk from now till next year. Untill someone in power decides that its time for a change. So let people do what they do!
Corruption won't allow African leaders do that. This was really an eye opener. Let me go and follow waka waka doctor. This is my first time of hearing of him. Thank you Uncle Chude
Personally i have always loved Central Europe (Netherlands specifically), Northern Europe (Scandinavian countries; Sweden, Norway, Finland etc), Asia(Japan, Singapore, Philippines) and the Americas(South; Brazil, Cuba, Chile. Central; Nicaragua, Honduras. Caribbean; Barbados, Bahamas, all dem islands). Maybe because of my love for Tech, Arts and Culture, Sports and Lifestyle. What you can get in US, Canada, UK, you can also get to some degree from these other countries.
In Scandinavian countries, spanking a child is ILLEGAL. If you spank your child, even once, the government will remove the child from your home and may terminate your parental rights (Speaking from personal experience).
Why are Nigerians and Africans always told to stay in their countries and "develop it", when emigration is a pathway various groups have explored throughout the modern era? Europeans migrated to the US and Canada; the Japanese and Chinese migrated to North American and South American countries; Lebanese and other Levant and Arab nationals moved to South America. This "stay and develop your country" advice is flawed.
The difference here is Europeans expanded their expertise elsewhere. They left behind formidable countries with strong economies and infrastructure.....the same can not be said about Africa.....African migration equates to brain and should never be deemed a win until concerted efforts are made to invest the acquired knowledge back home. Rwanda, a country geared toward fast economic growth, is currently building one of the strongest medical economies in Africa by training; retaining and attracting foreign expertise INTO the country .....this is what Africa should aim for. ....my prediction is, in the next 5 years, Nigerians will fly to Rwanda for medical treatment.....that's real economic expansion, not brain drain.
I'm a woman with a low education background . I love my country, nigeria . I think it is a shame with different treasures God has blessed nigeria with, yet no one can be proud of anything other than to encourage people to japa because of insecurities and hunger. When I was young, many nigeria went abroad for better education and learned how to govern his people and build our country nigeria. when they returned, they turned to something else. Who will fix nigeria? If there's no peace abroad can you stay there,? Do you think it is easy to move to another country just like that. The people who supported the leaders by collecting bribes to destroy nigeria have lay everlasting curse upon their generation. The anger of Almighty God is coming soon to visit everyone who contributes to the downfall of nigeria .(innocent soul are dying of hunger, and premature death because of your selfishness,) What shall it profit a man to have everything but sow incurable curses to his generational everyone shall reap what he sow.I will blessed those who blessed you, those who curse you I will curse say Almighty God (Gen.12:3)
Healthcare in Norway and Sweden is affordable, but not the best quality (Speaking from experience). German health care is better. Also, spanking your child, even once, is illegal. If the government/school finds out, they'll remove the child from your home and may terminate your parental rights.
The painful question is why do we need to japa in the first place? Most Naija who japa back have terrible stories in the long run. Eh! Please let’s make Nigeria great again. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Who are the people to make it great?... a country where you dare not say the truth, where protesters will be threatening by the police and army who suppose to protect us,, a Country where only criminals are important, SMH
