The word “Japa,” which means to leave one’s home country for greener pastures, resonates deeply with Nigerian youths.

They have left due to the distressing issues we’ve always fussed about - neglect, oppressive government, and unfulfilled promises. Nigerian youths are frustrated with socio-economic challenges, bad leadership, and lack of transparency and accountability, hindering progress and disadvantaging the poor.

Now, the one-stop solution to this particular problem has been to “Japa” in search of greener pastures.

Hmm…
But is the grass truly greener on the other side?🤔

Find out more on , coming to you soon.
