    I knew a Nigerian guy.
    He was married with 2 kids.
    He worked 3 jobs.
    In a bakery 5am till 1pm.
    A taxi driver 2pm till 11pm.
    Then Saturday and Sunday in a factory 8 am till 8pm.
    I asked him why ?
    He said because I have to support and provide for my parents back home as they are elderly.
    My jaw dropped and i thought....in this country we expect our parents to support us through inheritance......
    Next time you question or judge remember values go stronger than a different face.

    I was the last to migrate in my family. I had high hopes for Nigeria. When my Dad passed without getting compensation from the Army, it was then I realised that if the country failed my father, it will fail me and it will fail my children. I am not bigger than my father. I migrated in my 40s and haven't looked back. It's not a bed of roses but better than the roads I have crossed

    I left Nigeria as a teenager. Very young and for 7 years..last month i returned and couldn't be happier..being able to hug my family is the greatest feeling in the world. Japa puts family apart that even if you are married with kids the first family you came out from is still in the country you call a hell hole. So pray for Nigeria cause whatever negativity you spew on that country it will affect your families residing there. So lets be positive in our words.

    My grandmother came from Nigeria to the UK close to 70 years ago now, there, she was a school headmistress and came from a very high-ranking family in Benin. When she arrived in the UK, she had to make a living selling clothes out of the boot of her car to feed her five children. Eventually, she scraped enough money together to open a shop. She's still going strong at 92 and has six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

If you ask me, I'll say, concentrate on your own life and family. You can't fight for Nigeria.

    The word Japa has been trivialized. Looking at the deep rooted meaning of Japa, it isn't run, but rather the word flee, which connotes a sense of running away from an impending disaster or danger. It's basically running from a system that threatens your existence to a more secure or friendly place.

      @ Many other places in the world are disturbing to live in. Yet they don’t complain as much as Nigerians do. I’ll continue to say it, Nigeria isn’t the worse place to live in.
      The idea of change starts with you as individuals, not the government, because people in government were elected from among the people, not from outter space. If the dough is corrupt, the bread will be corrupt.
      Many others countries have bad leadership and sufferings in the midst of abundance of natural resources, but you don’t see them complain in the level of Nigerians.
      Nigeria is a beautiful place to live in. Are there challenges and things that could be better? Heck yeah! However, in the midst of the faults, there is still an insane amount of beauty in the country of Nigeria. You’d start to see more good in Nigeria if we complained less.

I understand the need for a better life, this should be basic for everyone in the world. However, this makes me feel there are sinister things unseen, it feels like the second exodus to slavery disguised as better life overseas. The western world is now receiving our best brains "voluntarily". I've just sighed deeply, I pray things get better. I will make my way back home.

      Well, it’s your opinion and it remains yours forever. However, some people may beg to differ. When Nigeria happens to you, you will risk it all in search of a better future for you and your family. In Nigeria, basic things the government is supposed to provide for the governed seems like a luxury. Imagine in this 21st century people are commissioning boreholes, streetlights and there is an elaborate ceremony for that? Politicians are feeding fat on tax payers money and yet they have no regard for the citizenry.

You only need to scroll through RUclips and people who emigrated from Britain to Nigeria ended up coming back. The same reason you’re not able to just go over there are the reasons for the mass exodus. I’m British born and lived in Nigeria for a few years. It’s home but the realities of living there is huge.

    Current Issues in the UK:
    1.Black women have a high risk of dying childbirth in UK - due to high levels of racism and being ignored in health care. This is well documented please do you research before leaving.
    2.Cost of living in the UK- is very high. Tax levels are through the roof which means most people are paying more on rent and are left with little money for food, basics and bills.
    3.Racism is increasing in the UK- almost as bad as the 80s
    4.Isolation- UK is very isolating most people are not friendly
    5. The Weather- very rare to get good weather here - This means black people are at risk of LOW Vitamin D levels- (which is known to cause depression, rickets and bone issues.)
    6.Crime rates are through the roof in London
    7.Transportation is very expensive in the UK- be mindful of this
    8.The NHS /the health care is on the brink of collapse. It’s hard for most people to even get an appointment. It is at risk of become privatised like America. Ultimately, this means it’s just a matter of time before people will be paying thousands for basic health care.
    9.If you loose a job in the UK- you are at risk of homelessness. Being homeless in the UK is terrible as it’s cold and, people sometimes die during the winter.
    10. Mental health rates are very high for Black men in the UK- See statistics here: www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/health/mental-health/detentions-under-the-mental-health-act/latest/
    11. Even Native white Europeans are leaving the UK!

What we generally miss from these conversations is that real change begins with individual responsibility. While Nigeria’s challenges are complex and layered, meaningful solutions require each citizen to embrace accountability in their actions. Today's "ordinary" citizen is the potential leader of tomorrow, and by nurturing integrity and responsibility, we set the foundation for a more just and prosperous nation. In summary, collective progress starts with the choices of each person. Happy to explore this thought process

    Really insightful and touching video. What you’d find as well if you interview a lot of the older generation, is that the experience of travelling to the U.K. really does differ across different generations depending on the years when someone came to the U.K.
    From talking to my dad who is 60+ years, it seems that documentation was easier to apply for in the past, it was not as strict as now, especially if you were coming from an ex-colony. In the past there seems to have been more job opportunities in different industries especially for migrants, such as skilled labour, e.g metal work, though the racism was much much worse back then. My dad is originally from Lagos and he came to the U.K. in 1980. I’m mixed, greetings to you from a Nigerian - Italian, British Londoner. I’ve also just started a RUclips channel and hope to cover some of these topics in the future! If your migrating to the U.K. and you have a solid plan, and great skills (such as coding, or other specific skills) then it’s a great place to be, when you have a plan and skills to offer. But the real hope and message Is that Nigeria will create more opportunities for its people, so that people have a good future in Nigeria and are not forced to JAPA, for Nigeria to be a place of safety, growth and opportunities!

      I beg to differ. Things were harder for immigrants in the past. Today you find a lot of Nigerians in highly skilled professions. In those days, there was a lot of discrimination and had to settle for low paid jobs. My family came to the UK in the 60s.

    • @EngilBamidele
      @EngilBamidele 2 дня назад +2

      @ That is why In my comment above I wrote racism was “much much worse back then” if you read that. Nigerians that are in highly skilled professions in the U.K. today, are normally British Nigerians and were either born here or migrated here when young. Yes of course there are also many successful Nigerians in the U.K. But if you’re migrating from Nigeria with little to nothing today due to the hardships of life, you cannot overlook at the immense challenges that these migrants will go through which is what the video highlights. There is still systemic challenges such as pay inequality, limited career progression, and tougher immigration policies which weren’t as stringent in the past. Moreover, the process of obtaining documentation and navigating the immigration system has become increasingly complex and costly. This is factually correct, especially since we even left the EU now. It is harder now to apply for documentation to come to the U.K. Every generation of immigrants faces unique challenges, shaped by shifting economic and social landscapes, and it’s crucial to recognise these evolving difficulties rather than assume one era was universally harder than another. Additionally, the global economy and demand for certain skills has shifted, making some industries more accessible and some less. My original comment stated the experience was different in past generations not necessarily better or worse off, the latter is then personal opinion and experience.

    Honestly our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I much feel sorry for the disabled and homeless people who don't get the help they deserve, Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.

I really want to go for his funeral, but there is a lot of constraints. Some family members think I might be putting my life in danger, because of the way my dad passed one week after visiting the village. I have a very sick mum, her health is taking a good chunk of my wages………. I am sad and confused. I have lost myself.
