Again, it was a black man that called the cops.
The victim mentality is beyond insane.
Obafemi Awolowo studied in London. Nnamdi Azikiwe studied in the United States.
The Japa phenomenon didn't begin in the 21st century. Many of Nigeria's political, academic and professional elites studied, trained and worked overseas decades ago. From the 1950s onward, thousands of Nigerians pursued education and career opportunities abroad. The movement is not new, only the terminology has changed.

A Unilag student did this for my birthday last year, I paid 10k. This picture is unedited, and I loved how the makeup matched my skin tone perfectly. Charging crazy prices doesn't prove your skill.
When people relocate, they usually think they're choosing a place, but they're really choosing a future lifestyle.
The biggest factors tend to be:
1. Family and relationships

- Salary versus cost of living.
- Business prospects and networking opportunities.
3. Cost of living
- Housing costs.
- Taxes.
- Utilities, transport, and everyday expenses.
- Whether they can save or invest more.
4. Quality of life
- Safety.
- Healthcare.
- Education for children.
- Work life balance.
- Climate and environment.
5. Identity and culture

- Cultural fit.
- Whether they feel accepted and understood.
6. Long term goals

I get both perspective.
The opposite of apathy isn't simply voting. Nigerians already showed up in huge numbers last time. The real question is: what will be different about the process, oversight and accountability this time? Democracy requires more than turnout. It requires votes that are counted and trusted.
Some will give up and some won't but always access your why and decide how far you are willing to go.
I’m not buying this defeatist mentality because that’s exactly where these cankerworms want you. When you become convinced that nothing can change, you stop trying and eventually stop caring. What you’re left with is apathy, and that will cost you so much more than you realise. Despair is not a political strategy. We can acknowledge how bad things are without surrendering to the idea that nothing can ever get better.

Growth mindset helps people learn better ways instead of just grinding harder. Fixed mindset often keeps folks stuck overworking without exploring rights, pensions, ISAs or compounding. Knowing the difference is useful, but pairing it with real knowledge and consistent action works better than mindset talk alone.
