To be honest if you have both parents alive, you should be extremely grateful and don’t take any moment for granted. They can be gone and it’ll be FOREVER!!

@AskMichaelTaiwo Happy new month sir

Japa is an exit strategy for the middle and upper class, not a rescue boat for the poor.

Raising £10,000+ just for a UK visa? That's not "average Nigerian money." That's years of saving, family contributions, selling land, stacking dollars at ₦1,600/$. Japa is not poverty escape. It's a privilege that looks like sacrifice.

The push factors are real though:
1. 35% graduate unemployment
2 Naira in freefall
3. ASUU strikes stealing your years
4. Light? What light? Social amenities and infrastructure? lol
5. Security? Laughable.
6. Healthcare that can kill you faster than the sickness. Nigeria is genuinely hard, don't let anyone gaslight you.

But here's what nobody tells you . To japa you usually need:
• A degree (or two)
• Relevant skills
• Clean bank statement showing ₦15M+
• Sponsor or job offer abroad
• Family with connections.
The "suffering" Nigerian can't even start this checklist.

But even those who made it will whisper "e no easy over here either." Cold. Lonely. Racism. Starting from scratch at 30.

Your mates abroad are not living your fantasy. Some are doing night shifts as care workers. Some can't send money home anymore. Some cry in clean apartments. The grid is a highlight reel. The DMs tell a different story.

So if you're still in Nigeria hustling, you're not a failure. You're not behind. You're not less than. You're fighting one of the hardest economic environments on earth with your bare hands. That deserves respect, not pity.

The real conversation is this: Fix Nigeria so that leaving isn't the only dream. Until then, whether you stay or go, stop measuring your worth by your passport stamp. You are not your location. You are your resilience.

To everyone who japa'd: respect. To everyone still here: more respect. Both roads required something most people don't have. Stop the comparison. Stop the pressure. Run YOUR race. 🇳🇬

If this thread made you exhale. RT. Someone in your timeline needs to read this TODAY. Tag a friend who's been hard on themselves about this. They need to see it. 🔁

Most importantly: get your PVC ready and vote wisely.
