My guy is 38. He works in Lagos, earns ₦280K. Married with 2 children, his wife is not working.
For 3 years he has been applying for Canada. Finally his agent said his visa is almost ready. He has already saved ₦9M for proof of funds and ticket.
Last week, his former boss called him and offered him a manager role in his new company. Salary is ₦650K plus commission, plus official car. But condition is, he must commit for 3 years and forget this Japa talk for now.
Now he is confused.
His wife said: “Take the job, let's stay. ₦650K is good money, we can save and build here. Abroad is not easy, you will go and start washing plates.”
His friends said: “Are you mad? Take the Canada. Suffer for 2 years and your child will have a better future. That ₦650K today will be ₦150K in 2 years due to inflation.”
He told me, “Bros, I am tired. I want the best for my family. If I stay, what if the company sacks me after 1 year? If I travel, what if I struggle and regret leaving a good job?”
If you were him, would you STAY for the ₦650K job or JAPA with the ₦9M?
