Top 10 reasons Nigerian youths migrate, ‘japa’, to Western countries

Top 10 reasons Nigerian youths migrate, ‘japa’, to Western countries

The report of the United Kingdom’s plan to introduce restrictions that will stop Nigerian students, and other nationalities studying in the country from bringing their families over has generated lots of controversy online.

Suella Braverman, secretary of state for the home department, said the move was necessary to protect the UK economy.

“The UK is a top destination for the brightest students to learn at some of the world’s best universities. But we have seen an unprecedented rise in the number of student dependents being brought into the country with visas,” Braverman said.

“It is time for us to tighten up this route to ensure we can cut migration numbers and meet the government’s pledge to the British people to cut net migration. This is the fair thing to do to allow us to better protect our public services, while supporting the economy by allowing the students who contribute the most to keep coming here.”

A Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, who specialises in helping Nigerians relocate to the United Kingdom, claimed that Nigerians migrating to the UK use schooling as a ploy to gain entry into the country.

Other Nigerians have a different view of the matter:

However as summed up by investigative journalist Fisayo Soyombo, this is “is yet another reminder that there is nothing better than building our own country.”

Here are some reasons young and hardworking Nigerians migrate to Western countries in a trend known as “Japa”.

1. Economic opportunity

Lack of economic opportunity in Nigeria is a major driver of youth migration.

2. Unemployment

The unemployment rate in Nigeria is also very high, especially among young people. In 2022, the unemployment rate was 33.3%.

This lack of job opportunities makes it difficult for young people to support themselves and their families, and can lead to frustration and desperation.

3. Political instability

Nigeria has a long history of political instability, which has created an atmosphere of insecurity and uncertainty. This can make it difficult for young people to plan for the future and can lead to a desire to escape the country.

4. Religious violence

Nigeria is a religiously diverse country, and there has been a rise in religious violence in recent years. This violence has created a climate of fear and insecurity, and can make it difficult for young people to live safely and freely.

5. Gender inequality

Nigeria is a patriarchal society, and women and girls face discrimination in many areas of life. This discrimination can make it difficult for women and girls to access education, employment, and other opportunities, and can lead to a desire to leave the country.

6. Climate change

Climate change is having a devastating impact on Nigeria, with more frequent and severe droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events.

These events have displaced millions of people and made it difficult for people to make a living.

7. Education

Many Nigerian youths migrate to foreign countries to pursue higher education. Nigeria has a number of good universities, but they are often overcrowded and underfunded.

This can make it difficult for students to get the education they need to succeed.

8. Family reunification

Many Nigerian youths migrate to foreign countries to join family members who have already settled there.

Nigerians value family culture and usually want to stick together to help each other.

9. Adventure

Some Nigerian youths migrate to foreign countries simply for the adventure of it. They want to experience new cultures, meet new people, and see new places.

10. A better future

Many Nigerian youths migrate to foreign countries in the hope of a better future.

They want to have better opportunities for education, employment, and a better quality of life.

Before his release, last night, his lawyers, Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, and Mr. Kunle Adegoke, had hinted that he would be released, yesterday (Tuesday), having met all the conditions for his bail.

However, after his freedom, Seun, via his official Instagram, thanked his family, lawyers and everyone, who showed him love and support during his moments in the police custody.

He stated, “I be orphan o but family deeeey. I want to say a profound thanks to everyone who showed me all this love. All my friends that showed up. Thanks most especially to my beautiful wife, @chefyeidekuti

“Last but not least. The legal team. Uncle Femi Falana (SAN) Uncle Olumide Fisika (SAN) Uncle Kayode Adegoke (SAN) Barrister Ogunlana. Ade Ademiluyi. And everyone on the team. I owe you my freedom and my sanity. Let’s go,” he added.

Some of Kuti’s friends and supporters were seen jubilating outside the Police station, immediately after he was released.

A viral video showed his supporters taking turns to embrace him when he stepped outside the police station.

Lawyers, supporters protest Seun’s detention.

Buhari says it is difficult to cope with the pressure of office and cannot wait to leave office

President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is desperately looking forward to the next six days (the number of days left for him to bow out of office). 

According to him, he found it difficult to cope with the pressure of office. The president spoke in Abuja on Tuesday night at the dinner organised for him by the Armed Forces of Nigeria. The event is part of the activities lined up for the May 29 inauguration ceremony. 

Buhari who spoke while apologising for coming behind schedule said, “Please, I will like to digress from the prepared speech. I apologise most sincerely for keeping you waiting. I can hardly cope with the pressure. I am desperately looking forward to the next six days.”

Buhari, however, urged the military and other security agencies in the country to remain resolute in the face of the security challenges bedeviling the country. 

The president who acknowledged the efforts of the military in the ongoing war against terrorism in the country said the military must not rest on its oars until insecurity is defeated.

He said, “The commission of the Armed Officers’ Mess is a step in line with this policy. For me, the regimental dinner organised for me to mark this occasion is very significant because it presents me with another opportunity to reflect positively on the past, present, and future of our armed forces.

“Please permit me to appreciate our military for their loyalty, handwork, dedication, and selfless service to our beloved nation. I am fully aware of all your sacrifices and commitments in tackling the myriad of security challenges and your contributions to the successful elections in our country. 

“However, until the issue of insecurity is surmounted much more is still desired from the Armed Forces of Nigeria. Consequently, the Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies must always remain resolute in the face of the country’s insecurity challenges.”

He also promised that with the few days left for his regime, the military would not be starved of the needed support. 

Buhari said, “Our administration before winding down will never relent to widen the support of the military to enable them to effectively perform their constitutional responsibilities. The ultimate sacrifice of our fallen heroes will never be in vain and the almighty God continue to grant them eternal rest.”

Here’s why students of Benson Idahosa University are protesting

Students of Benson Idahosa University, Benin, Edo State Tuesday protested at the campus over the death of a student identified as Bruno Chigozie Ezeonye.

It was gathered that the student, a final year student of Computer Science, slumped and eventually died before help could come while playing football at the legacy campus’ football pitch. 

DailyTrust Newspaper source blamed the medical personnel at the health facility on the campus for not quickly attending to the deceased when he was rushed there for treatment.

“When they eventually responded and needed to refer him to Faith Mediplex Hospital, an affiliate of the Institution, located at Airport Road, the ambulance driver complained of lack of petrol in the ambulance,” the source said. 

Angered by the death of their colleague, the students vandalised the school’s clinic and security post before they were calmed down by the president of the university, Bishop FEB Idahosa.

When contacted, the institution’s Head of Communication and Brand Strategy, Temi Esonamunjor, simply said, “The university will make an official press statement on the true state of things.”

Japa: being real hurt people — Youtuber Tiamiyu on his UK migration comment

Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, has said that being real will hurt people. The Youtuber had said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation that many Nigerian students seeking admissions into schools in the United Kingdom were not looking for new qualifications, but rather to start a new life overseas.

However, speaking in an interview with media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze, on Tuesday night shortly after his interview video with BBC went viral, the Youtuber said that he may have to find a balance between being real and being diplomatic. In the viral video, Tiamiyu said that most of those who applied for schooling in the United Kingdom only considered it an alternative means to escape from Nigeria.

In response to criticism from his BBC interview, he stated, “The BBC man asked me yesterday, ‘If it is part-time for you, what if you do it full time?’, and I am like, I am not ready for full time.

“There is a future. I know that there are still many opportunities to do more great things. And I don’t know, I would have to find a balance between being real and being diplomatic. Because If you want to be real, you will offend people.”

Reactions as Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu says Nigerians use study to gain UK Entry

Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, who specialises in helping Nigerians relocate to the United Kingdom, disclosed that Nigerians migrating to the UK use schooling as a ploy to gain entry into the country.

Tiamiyu made this known in an interview with BBC which went viral on Tuesday. He said, “So the student thing is not real. It is not like they need the degrees.

“They need the degree as an access road to come into the country, so a lot of this people their priorities shifted real fast.”

The video went viral after the UK enacted a law that will prevent Nigerian students, and others studying in the UK, from bringing family as dependents except under specific circumstances.

Tiamiyu, who is based in Birmingham, granted the interview in the wake of the new immigration rules that will prevent Nigerian students, and others studying in the UK, from bringing their families as dependants except under specific circumstances.

Under the new rule, which will take effect January 2024, the UK will remove the permission for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed to prevent misuse of the visa system.

Criticisms have continued to trail the remarks of a Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu, in an interview he had with the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Tiamiyu, who is known for advising Nigerians on studying in the United Kingdom, declared that many of them were not looking for new qualifications, but to start a new life abroad.

Reactions as UK officially bans Nigerian students from bringing their dependents

The UK says it will restrict foreign students from bringing family members with them from 2024.

TheCable had reported that the UK was mulling restrictions to curb net migration.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Home Office said the development was necessary to stop people from using the student visa as a backdoor route to work in the UK.

“Last year almost half a million student visas were issued while the number of dependants of overseas students has increased by 750% since 2019, to 136,000 people,” the Home Office said.

“The new reforms will come into effect for students starting in January next year. The government will however work with the higher education sector to explore alternative options to ensure the brightest and best students can continue to bring dependents when they study at the UK’s world-leading universities.”

The UK said overseas students will be stopped from switching from the student visa route to a work visa until their studies have been completed.

The UK government said it will also review the required funds students must have to demonstrate they can look after themselves and their dependents.

The Home Office said the government will clamp down on “unscrupulous” international student agents who may be supporting inappropriate applications.

Suella Braverman, secretary of state for the home department, said the move was necessary to protect the UK economy.

“The UK is a top destination for the brightest students to learn at some of the world’s best universities. But we have seen an unprecedented rise in the number of student dependents being brought into the country with visas,” Braverman said.

“It is time for us to tighten up this route to ensure we can cut migration numbers and meet the government’s pledge to the British people to cut net migration. This is the fair thing to do to allow us to better protect our public services, while supporting the economy by allowing the students who contribute the most to keep coming here.”

The ban will affect all master’s students and some other post-graduates, but it will not apply to PhD students who are highly skilled and whose courses last between three to five years.

NIGERIANS AMONG HARDEST HIT

If implemented, the crackdown will affect many Nigerian students hoping to pursue their postgraduate studies in the UK, as they accounted for the highest increase in the number of dependants accompanying persons with study visas in 2022.

Nigerian nationals also accounted for the largest increase in sponsored study grants compared with 2019, rising by 57,545 (+686%) to a record high of 65,929, making them the third largest nationality group.

Buhari has said  he would run to neighbouring Niger Republic to seek a safe haven

President Muhammadu Buhari has said  he would run to neighbouring Niger Republic to seek a safe haven if disturbed or there is trouble after he leaves office.

Speaking during the inauguration of the N19.6 billion Nigeria Customs Service Corporate headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, Buhai said, “I try to plan to be as far away from Abuja as possible. I came from an area which is far away from Abuja.

“if anybody with force moves, I have good relationship with my neighbours. Niger people will defend me.”

Buhari revealed that the first official trip he made when he assumed office as Nigeria’s President was to visit the Niger Republic, Chad and Cameroon to cement the country’s relationship with them.

The President, who ruled Nigeria as military Head of State between 1983 and 1985 and was elected in 2015 as a democratic president.

“I said these few things about my personal belief because I have only six more days to go,” he said.

“That is why when I became the Head of State that is President, my first visit was to Niger, Chad and Cameroon because based on neighbourhood on personal and national reason. If you don’t secure the confidence of your neighbour, you are in trouble.
