Yes, really emotional. Almost stopped watching. Pastor F'ẹmi Lazarus said we have so much bitterness against our country. This is because of our leaders.
As a Congolese and African brother living in Belgium, we have to be honest with ourselves. We failed! So much ressources, so much to build, to create, to work on on the continent...and we are back to our colonisers to have a better future for ourselves and our futur generation. Why can South Korea, Qatar even some countries in Europe after WW2 build from scratch and create an amzing country, but in many of our countries in Africa, we still live like the middle age. I don't know if we are cursed...but in +70 years of independence, what did we really do for our countries in the motherland?
You have to look at the culture. I've seen strict hard working god fearing people from Africa. But they're not even in the one percent. The rest are all scum. Horrible rascals. Lazy criminal. Loud rude pathetic individual with no respect. There are amazing individuals but they're too small in numvers
@@itstsebo this is true to a large degree... But now many African countries are selling themselves out to the Chinese and Russians. So the bad guys are not Europeans any more. Another issue is the geopolitical boundaries of virtually all the countries in Africa, drawn by the colonialists many years ago. They don't conform to the realities on the ground, tribes, languages, etc. (Nigeria has about 250 languages!). So there is no unity, and in-fighting, civil war, etc is rife. And poverty has driven up crime, corruption, etc, to alarming levels in most countries.
I'm a white english guy in the UK. It was some Nigerians who helped me find god. I now go to a Nigerian church in the uk. I can whole heartedly say thay are great people and i wish them the very best.
@@gamerboyx8243 I'm guessing a protestant christian one with a good dose of vaccine scepticism and a good dose of homophobia. Westerners brought Christianity to Africa and now Africans are bringing it to Westerners, that's karma!
I left Nigeria decades ago....You pay a very high price when you leave your country, family and a familiar environment to seek a better, secure life Abroad. For everyone who left, may yours and my quests NEVER be in vain..Amen
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.
Was your grandmother living in nigeria as british colony. Did she tell how things and also how was she able to get high position since in the colonial times only British (white British) were the only one eligible for high position?
@@upendo.3570 by working for colonial oppression machine of course. This is the reward. Betray your people and you will be able to become homeless in London. Sounds gooooood.
@@upendo.3570 Until Nigeria change their constitution to a Nigerian made constitution, Nigerians will always be a slave to the western world. Honestly, how is it that Nigeria called itself an independent country when they are living every day on a constitution drafted by white men? The number of people with PhD, Masters and BA or BBA degrees in Nigeria is more than the population of Tanzania, Kenya and Gambia combined...yet they are living by a constitution drafted by British Men.
To the individual who is reading this please quit overthinking everything every day and night . Stop obsessing over your failures. Stop doubting yourself and seeing the greatness in everyone else but you. You are better than that. You deserve more. Start showing up differently to yourself. Believe in yourself. God wont ever hand you something you cant handle. You are a star in this world . may God bless whoever sees this
Can you make content on the various pathways they took to Japa to UK like education, job opportunities, special talent visa etc. This will go a long way to educate and inform the viewers. Thanks for your work.
Quite an emotional video for someone born and bread in the UK to watch . I think that often people from other countries think the UK is the land of milk and honey but from the age of 16 I’ve worked hard to get taxed on everything from your salary , car , fuel etc. And your right in what you say you work and a huge amount of what you earn goes to the government. I had the support of family to get through the difficult times but for someone here on their own it must be really difficult. I think Nigerian people integrate more with British people than people from other cultures. Great video !
Every time I see ppl complain about discrimination, the first thing comes to my mind..what's new ? If you're surprised, it's your fault. What's a snake to do... what comes to it naturally.. bite, so why the surprise. I've lived in the west for decades and I deal with them only as they come. Be good, and I'll be good. Be nasty, you get exactly that back. If you make them important, they'll become that, me ? I make them unimportant. I do what I need to do, soon as you not important to me I'm out of your world. If I need help, I seek one out that looks like me, who's willing and able to help, they're my last call or get a lawyer. Your community is your best protection, build one and insulate yourself. In the U S every big city has a Chinatown, Indo Paks live in general vicinity of their ppl, (hindus will hire muslims and vice-versa) now the Hispanics are doing same (binding together) but Africans still doing lone rangers, they'll learn though.
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
Your production quality has skyrocketed this year Tayo. Well done to you. As a Zimbabwean, this is the same story we've endured for the last 25 years. Both Zimbabwe and Nigeria should be wealthy countries. Nigeria in particular, should be one ot the wealthiest countries in the world. What's needed is a generational change in leadership.
Zimbo also here , been in the diaspora since 2003 , not an easy road but things go better over time with focus , resiliance ,a never settling mindset and hard work !🇺🇸🇿🇼🇿🇦
Very sobering journalistic piece bro! We got so much to do for Africa and its children! But our leadership keeps dropping the ball for one simple reason. GREED!
And the people just watched them do it, Africans need to stand up for Africa just like the French Revolution. Nothing will ever change in continent if we don't fight for change. But unfortunately, too many of our people are uneducated, so they don't even understand their rights
South African here wishing the Nigerian people nothing but the best, many of you guys are smart and hard working people and I believe that us South Africans have a lot to learn from you. God bless the Nigerian people!
Sorry i don't belive you. I never will...The h*te from you guys is just so scary and always sends shiver down my spine...Like how do you h*te your fellow blacks like this??? It breaks my heart
@@isiomaajufo3046I've never met a honest Nigerian worker here in South Africa. They sell drugs and run prostitution rings. There might be those that are just hard working honest people here but I haven't met them yet

Tayo, @ 17:50, I cried. This beautiful woman's story brought me to tears. We are a resilient, loving, beautiful, intelligent people. Thank you for this documentary.
Agree, but be aware of the threat this poses to the world order. With a prosperous Africa, you take away the limelight from everybody else. Even China's been dealt with by the West just for developing itself. I agree Africa must develop, but let's also prepare for the retaliation.
@@rudychimaobinna4391 If the problem was infrastructer we would have easily put it in place, we just have a system that kills brilliance. The structures in place doesn't support progress.
Nigerians abroad made matters worse for themselves (I'm here too) instead of extending social support and care to one another by building our community here, what you often find is people having I-better-pass-my-neighbour mentality. It becomes a lot more easier if we create a support system to cover for the lapses of our new environment.
Lots of Nigeria regional community organizations, join one and make a difference. I doubt the entrenched, socialite groupies will allow you, everyone has a Nigeria political agenda.
Get to make friends with other cultures. Some of them are the nicest people you will ever meet. Be careful of what you share until you know them well. Take this from someone who has lived here more than 40 years. We Nigerian are our own worst enemies. The Nigerian friends I have are like myself. Newly arrived Nigerian wants to try and use us to know the system. That opportunity is my happening, my friend. I wish you all the very best.❤❤❤
@@patsyowoh9023 There are bad people in every culture, I don't believe Nigerians are worse. I agree with you about the need to connect with other nationalities too. However, in all we do we must understand conflict abounds in every relationship but there's a place for our own people that others cannot fill.
unfortunely what i am noticing in the diaspora among nigerians is tribial organizations such as igbo unite group yoruba unite group instead of us coming as one nigerian group. Ther eno such thing as unity in that country it better we divide
I visited Nigeria. There is nothing being done to Nigeria that is not done by Nigerians . If you want good government or good leaders you have the obligation to be a good citizen.
@@OutragedPufferfish but he/she is right though. Every corrupt practices by Nigerian politicians is done on a smaller scale by citizens. The ruling class caused it though
It’s so sad how undeveloped Africa is. It’s the richest continent! These governments are lavishing in luxury whilst their country people are living in misery.
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.
Ignorant people has no capacity to think beyond their nose. Being actively negative about your country & heritage cannot change your identity. All these white supremacy Black collaborators are total disgrace to our well-cultured race. Rubbish video. AMO, UK
Being Scottish (British) and living many years in Nigeria, I love to meet Nigerian people here in Scotland. Nigerian people have such a rich cultural heritage and add so much to the fabric of society here in the UK. Hardworking family oriented and people with integrity. It makes me sad that a few scammers have warped the reputation of the majority.
Stay in your country and fight for your life and for the future of your children Cause if you don't, no one else will... Leaving your country is not the solution.. You have a great country and Greats MINDs Fight for It
This is true but life is short and there’s only so much time to create the kind of life you want for yourself and your family. The average Nigerian who relocates to another country has already spent decades making sacrifices for the country in one way or the other, grown disillusioned and decided to channel their efforts into outcomes/results they have more control over.
@Kali-Ikigai that's the problem, you're not thinking of your future generations. All of these other countries you're running to, the forefathers experienced hardship too, but they fought to improve their countries. Nigerians don't - they run. I often hear, Nigerians are the best, they are strong, they are competitive, but for some reason, they seem incapable of improving their own country. 🤷♀️
Tayo, I am glad you changed your thumbnail to be somewhat better. I was pained initially. No matter the current situation in Nigeria, we must remain optimistic, think positively, and look for the good and better side of the coin. I am not an avid traveller like you, but I have read many texts and watched many scenes of how Europeans and Asians live. Great minds who turn things around in their countries are not pessimists. Everything starts from our heart and thinking.
You can feel a lot of buried emotions, pains in their voices it got me broken I teared up I will definitely fight for my country God bless Nigeria and all her child amen 😢 may God continue to guide all Africans in the world
I wonder how you intend to fight for your country. I mean you don't have guns or control the armed forces but they do. You don't control the courts but they do. They can easily toss you into prison and waste your life there. So, saying you want to fight for Nigeria is wishful thinking. You can't.
@Samuelson471 then should we just back down and see ourselves being used as leaves in our own country 🙁 because we have no gun no court no force but do not forget one thing we have God that's all that matters
@@barontutor77 Don't also forget the country is 63 or 64 years old now. We've been here suffering for so long. We tried our best in the last election but you witnessed how everything went. It's been from one bad governance to another. Present bad governance is only 2 years. More 6 years to go. Most likely, they'll hand over to another bad one. We've been praying? Haven't we? If you ask me, I'll say, concentrate on your own life and family. You can't fight for Nigeria.
This broke me as an immigrant nurse I constantly have to prove myself that I am competent, it is a lot and this documentary made me reflect and I couldn’t believe I was weeping. Silent/ subtle discrimination is real. I was used to speaking quietly at work but it was interpreted as timid I have to change my whole personality and now I am vocal, I hardly smile so it don’t interpret has weakness but that is not who I am but hey it is UK you have to be tough.
Hmm. I'm not sure it's a good idea to avoid smiling. British people have a reputation for smiling a lot just to communicate friendliness. (Apparently Russian and Eastern European people think we're weird because we smile too much!) So being boldly vocal with a cheerful tone might earn you the most respect and allegiance.
@@andybrice2711It's not weird because you smile too much, it's weird because you often use it to cover up embarrassment, passive aggression and a ton of other emotions 😁
@@andybrice2711 However I have learned after many years how to decode it (mostly haha) and it's almost natural to me too🙂On the flip side, as an Eastern European I can also see why others think we can be "unfriendly"
Tayo, Nigeria is not cursed. Things are tough, but we shall overcome. There are over 200m of us at home. I spent nine months in London. I felt like a fish out of water. Staying outside Nigeria is not an option for me. We dey here. We need to work hard to make Nigeria better, no doubt. If all of us leave, where do we go to, and who will build Nigeria?
Smh I can’t even find a job without connection in Nigeria, even with all the solid CV and proof that I’m good at what I do, this country is a joke there’s no hope.
Nice from tayo..but ppl back home still need to learn about europe.i wish tayo can do doc on asylum camp in europe so that ppl in africa will know what it feel like to be undocumented immigrant in Western world!
I love Nigerian people! Some of the nicest most hospitable people I met as an indo-trinidadian growing up were Nigerian people in the Uk. Nigerians today face many hardship coming to the UK but they are amongst some of the hardest working. Love from a Trinidadian 🇹🇹❤🇳🇬
@@b.3940 If you found it difficult to understand ALL the Nigerians in this documentary, then something is definitely wrong with your ears and with your comprehension. Why generalize that that?
I was taken by the various emotions expressed. Tayo! You collated this therapy together again , it is healing seeing the resolve of a people - The Nigerian.
Amazing video. I love the UK and its my family's home. It's stable, the job market is hard but better than South Africa. The key for me is every country is awful if you are poor, but the base is much higher here. For people coming here, please do try come with family or a friend. As I know I would have struggled without that support.
you wish them well in other people's countries> why not advice them to remain in their own country and fight for its betterment if you really love them that much?
@thabangtladi8057 they could be in their own country or anywhere in the world, I just wish them well. I also hope that their country could become better. Ngibafisela inhlanhla
@@thabangtladi8057 FYI , have u ever been to Nigeria..no , know how politics work? No .we do fight for our rights but our voices aren't heard . The president and gov don't give an F. So since UK borders are open , obviously they would travel to seek greener pastures , Hello? And this goes for other African countries as well. Who would want to live in poverty. And there are also South Africans living abroad. Every country has its own challenges
This episode has been the most emotional video that i've watched so far on your channel Tayo.❤ It's a well done documentary and i wish our generation can integrate the government and change things. Much love to Nigerians and to my Africans people from Benin Republic 🇧🇯
As an Aussie with many Nigerian friends here in Australia, I can honestly say they are wonderful, kind and hard working individuals who still put family first. Respect.
yeah because its extremely hard to get working visa in Australia. You need to be very skilled in your profession. A bit different kind of people from majority that Europe takes
Nigeria is one of the most beautiful country that I have ever visited. I do pray that the citizens see the value in their country and work together to make Nigeria greater!
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.
And there are over 200 million people still existing in the same place you speak of. Their existence hasn’t been erased in the past 20 years. Not sure what people gain from painting Nigeria black and making it look like it’s the worst place to live in.
@@tonystark701it’s a very disturbing ,place to live,considering the amount of natural and human resources owned, and the lack of the people’s ability to come together against the political class to demand better for our lives like sensible human beings; it is very depressing,to see,feel and exist in Nigeria,knowledge is a burden.
@ 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'm a South African who has been considering relocating. However I want to return to my country to improve it. I hope Nigerians feel the same way about their country.
@@josephmwamlima2377 It's sad that you seem to laugh at others dreams. It's sad that you think it's funny to laugh at something so serious. Anyways, I wish you all the best. I hope your dreams come true.
Thank you for a very informative documentary. How low we've fallen, to seek to run to our former colonial masters for a better life, and to submit ourselves to cultural cleansing, in foreign lands by former colonial masters who had once pursued the same agenda even in our own lands, in exchange for a better life. I cannot fault those who have left, but Africa has to do better.
This is one of the most emotional video i have watched, it really pulls on your heart strings and makes you wonder how has our beloved country Nigeria been governed so bad that the citizens are running away. The hustle and struggle is really real and our leaders have got to do better than failing each and everyone one us. Tayo Aina thank you very much for this content, its really emotional to watch but the truth must be told.
Is it a coincidence that I just finished watching a similar piece from Steve Ndukwu? I can relate to these very touching stories, and my heart just sank for the day. Nigeria should have been the best country in the world, only if we stuck to the plan, God's plan. All those resources and the intellectual capacity of an average Nigerian is part of the grand design for a country with huge potentials. 😢😢
Hello Tayo watching you from America I really enjoyed your video there in the UK. the different Nigerians that you spoken with and their stories were very moving. thank you for sharing.
Tayo we are so proud of you for bringing light to such stories. As a Ghanaian living in the UK, I can relate to some of the struggles shared and I hope our leaders back home look at these issues and address them in the near future. Well done sir!
Really well done piece of content on this topic. Ive seen similar things happen over a much longer period with Indians. It must be a terrible feeling to know things could be so much better with some direct changes specifically infrastructure, but the politicians just don't ever change or enable the great and ambitious population to prosper. My family came over in the 1950s from India and was not the most welcoming place at the time, but the ambitious can rise here I hope you all get that better life.
Be understanding of issues, no matter how strong willed you are, there is only so much you can do with bad leadership. For example, no matter how motivated you are to start a business, without capital...you don't get into the first gear @ZuliailuZ183
Very good video, well balanced. Personally I think Nigerians who struggle usually tend to be those who approach British life with a closed mind, thinking they can continue living their lives the Nigerian way instead of integrating into the society and system. There are lots of successful Nigerians who’ve managed to bridge this gap
They always quote net migration figures, which hides the fact that the natives are leaving. Sorry, but the UK is not going to be good under Agenda2030! We are slaves to the financial system here!
Not just the UK but the rest of Europe too. All of sub Sahara Africa is expected to have their population triple by the end of the century, and 1/3rd of Africans want to leave. There’s absolutely no way a continent that is projected to have less than 700 million people will be able to sustain all these immigrants in the coming future, same for the US too.
Tayo Aina, Welcomed to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. The individuals and their whole story narrative were so much emotional to watch and listening to. May God Almighty continues to helps us all still.
Tayo, I’m a massive fan of your work and sincerely like your contents… You see this particular documentary right here is different. I’m super impressed. Thank you so very much for telling this honest story

Which country? Nigeria is a British name we have not yet come to terms that we can't work together because of our differences if we have our different nation I'm sure you will see the difference
If I was Nigerian I would think of moving to the Caribbean or another African country rather the UK, I’ve heard that Nigerians are very successful in South Africa, owning many businesses and making that cash money!
@@daviddixx6737I'm 100% sure you have never lived in SA, most Nigerians who talk about xenophobic attacks have never set foot in SA, there are many Nigerians living well in South Africa , most do not want to leave...
If there truly was a God millions of Nigerians would not be standing outside Western embassies in Lagos starting 4 am. Lived as an expat the Racism I suffered as the wife of a CEO was beyond unforgiveable. Stop always playing the victim as all migrants are better treated in White Western countries than their own people treat them. Stop breeding like robots 1000 babies a day in Lagos alone who are registered + same number unregistered
The culture& mentality yall cultivated there is t0xic for a better c0untry.Yall need divide the c0untry everybody goes there own wayy.Is not a coincidence most people in western Hemisphere is from 9ja.Animosity prolly started during that time
I'm of two minds as there is nothing I would love more at present than to go back home. I might not be the best person to comment on this issue as I've lived in England for most of my life. 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. I am sorry if I have offended anyone, I just had to speak out loud. Much blessing to you all.
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.
I understand you but when are you planning to go back? I bet you have thought about it for years but there would be many benefits lost. Living in Nigeria is also not for the faint hearted. You only need to scroll through UA-cam 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.
The British workers can’t get jobs because jobs are being given to foreign workers at a cheaper salary than British workers would be able to live off yet you have this priviledged attitude towards the country who took African in. What is wrong with you that you think Africans are the victims in it? It’s the British people who are victims. Grow up!
Top notch quality as usual from Tayo!. But please come oh! That guy on a blue jacket! Is he from Nigeria? No be oyibo be that? Abi are my eyes paining me?
WoW!As a South African I pray God keep our fighting spirit, we fight blindly with anger when we see what the government does, We thank Granpa Mandela for teaching us to remove anyone we dont like if needs be!!Nigeria will bounce back..this is too much japaring
This is powerful and valuable for people to sit and listen to. I am nearly 60. I was born in London, moved to Naija when I was 8. The bullying was real, and that was within my extended family as well as school. I laugh when people talk about racism as the discrimination all through growing up was a daily this because I talked different, did not like Eba or Okra and could not tie Wrapper. In University it got worse as people said I’m showing off, this is me trying to hide my accent. Then came to UK following the riots in ,1990 time, leaving family and friends behind. It was REAL and it still is. My first job was £1.75 in a kitchen. You pay for everything and have little left and then guilt tripped for not sending enough. My mum passed this year and the constant requests for money….. despite saying I’m not working at the moment as I’m not well.
I've told myself years back that I will make it in Nigeria. Today I'm happy i am 95% closer to my dreams. However we should be very careful when selecting leaders
Yes! Let's stay in our country and make it here. When you make it, everything you need and want will find you. We make the world a better place in every aspect but leave our home broken. Let's stay... Everything will surely get better by God's grace.
Why this man never reach 1m sub. If this pop up over there, and you're yet to subscribe. Please do that ASAP Tayo Aina be doing so well with his documentary. Big ups to you bro
The guy who said he can’t get over his dad’s death got me weeping, because that’s my current situation. I moved to the Uk in 2023 lost my dad 😢 in September 2024. Man was spry he wasn’t sick. 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.
This was so emotional to watch! Hate how "Japa" tears families apart. Nigeria MUST be better!

Yes, really emotional. Almost stopped watching. Pastor F'ẹmi Lazarus said we have so much bitterness against our country. This is because of our leaders.

You have said it all. Thanks for watching bro 👊🏽
I have been jearing Nigeria will be better for the past thirty-_five years
As a Congolese and African brother living in Belgium, we have to be honest with ourselves.
We failed! So much ressources, so much to build, to create, to work on on the continent...and we are back to our colonisers to have a better future for ourselves and our futur generation.
Why can South Korea, Qatar even some countries in Europe after WW2 build from scratch and create an amzing country, but in many of our countries in Africa, we still live like the middle age.
I don't know if we are cursed...but in +70 years of independence, what did we really do for our countries in the motherland?
It's called third world debt. The first world still exploits your continent but it's hidden
Exactly look at Zimbabwe formerly Rhodesia
Colonisation never ended in Africa, it just went covert. Its not a mystery. Liberation includes decolonising the mind set.
You have to look at the culture. I've seen strict hard working god fearing people from Africa. But they're not even in the one percent. The rest are all scum. Horrible rascals. Lazy criminal. Loud rude pathetic individual with no respect. There are amazing individuals but they're too small in numvers
@@itstsebo this is true to a large degree... But now many African countries are selling themselves out to the Chinese and Russians. So the bad guys are not Europeans any more.
Another issue is the geopolitical boundaries of virtually all the countries in Africa, drawn by the colonialists many years ago. They don't conform to the realities on the ground, tribes, languages, etc. (Nigeria has about 250 languages!).
So there is no unity, and in-fighting, civil war, etc is rife.
And poverty has driven up crime, corruption, etc, to alarming levels in most countries.

@@israelezaga5931right… this is another problem with Nigerians… so religious that they don’t think straight
Quite an emotional video for someone born and bread in the UK to watch . I think that often people from other countries think the UK is the land of milk and honey but from the age of 16 I’ve worked hard to get taxed on everything from your salary , car , fuel etc. And your right in what you say you work and a huge amount of what you earn goes to the government. I had the support of family to get through the difficult times but for someone here on their own it must be really difficult. I think Nigerian people integrate more with British people than people from other cultures. Great video !
Every time I see ppl complain about discrimination, the first thing comes to my mind..what's new ? If you're surprised, it's your fault. What's a snake to do... what comes to it naturally.. bite, so why the surprise. I've lived in the west for decades and I deal with them only as they come. Be good, and I'll be good. Be nasty, you get exactly that back. If you make them important, they'll become that, me ? I make them unimportant. I do what I need to do, soon as you not important to me I'm out of your world. If I need help, I seek one out that looks like me, who's willing and able to help, they're my last call or get a lawyer. Your community is your best protection, build one and insulate yourself. In the U S every big city has a Chinatown, Indo Paks live in general vicinity of their ppl, (hindus will hire muslims and vice-versa) now the Hispanics are doing same (binding together) but Africans still doing lone rangers, they'll learn though.
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
May God bless you❤
Still praying that my son a deep lover of Nigeria will agree to move abroad, if for some years. A gifted and practical Engineer.

Your production quality has skyrocketed this year Tayo. Well done to you. As a Zimbabwean, this is the same story we've endured for the last 25 years. Both Zimbabwe and Nigeria should be wealthy countries. Nigeria in particular, should be one ot the wealthiest countries in the world. What's needed is a generational change in leadership.
Even with a change in generational leadership there will still be external forces working hard to sabotage the country
I'm a Zimbabwean, we face the same issue of emigration as Nigeria, even though I'm not Nigerian I could resonate with this issue. So touching.
You are right

Very sobering journalistic piece bro! We got so much to do for Africa and its children! But our leadership keeps dropping the ball for one simple reason. GREED!
And the people just watched them do it, Africans need to stand up for Africa just like the French Revolution. Nothing will ever change in continent if we don't fight for change. But unfortunately, too many of our people are uneducated, so they don't even understand their rights
Then you should NOT choose those to 'lead' you? Are you not free???

We need to build Africa...
never happening because there was no civilisation there in the first place
How is it possible to build Africa where by we have bad leaders who don't care for their citizens.
Agree, but be aware of the threat this poses to the world order. With a prosperous Africa, you take away the limelight from everybody else. Even China's been dealt with by the West just for developing itself. I agree Africa must develop, but let's also prepare for the retaliation.
There will be all sorts of infiltration and sabotage, humiliation, bullying, but we will have to be resilient. Brace yourselves.
@@john-tr8jy you are right we need to build and be prepared to fight against those that are against our growth
One question I have. Why can't this brilliance stay put and make Nigeria brilliant??
…because the corrupt political cabal have refused to relinquish power
Dignity and Pride.
It’s missing.
If you crawl to an Arab, or wyte god; why would you want to be with, build and support Africa?
Because Nigeria lacks the necessary infrastructure and bad governance. Attitude is also a hard thing to bypass, infact Nigeria will frustrate you!
@@rudychimaobinna4391 If the problem was infrastructer we would have easily put it in place, we just have a system that kills brilliance. The structures in place doesn't support progress.
@rudychimaobinna4391 but the infrastructure is populated and run by Nigerians
Nigerians abroad made matters worse for themselves (I'm here too) instead of extending social support and care to one another by building our community here, what you often find is people having I-better-pass-my-neighbour mentality.
It becomes a lot more easier if we create a support system to cover for the lapses of our new environment.
Lots of Nigeria regional community organizations, join one and make a difference. I doubt the entrenched, socialite groupies will allow you, everyone has a Nigeria political agenda.
Get to make friends with other cultures. Some of them are the nicest people you will ever meet. Be careful of what you share until you know them well. Take this from someone who has lived here more than 40 years. We Nigerian are our own worst enemies. The Nigerian friends I have are like myself. Newly arrived Nigerian wants to try and use us to know the system. That opportunity is my happening, my friend. I wish you all the very best.❤❤❤
@@patsyowoh9023 There are bad people in every culture, I don't believe Nigerians are worse. I agree with you about the need to connect with other nationalities too. However, in all we do we must understand conflict abounds in every relationship but there's a place for our own people that others cannot fill.
unfortunely what i am noticing in the diaspora among nigerians is tribial organizations such as igbo unite group yoruba unite group instead of us coming as one nigerian group. Ther eno such thing as unity in that country it better we divide
Absolutely!!!@@osazuwaogbeide8554
Other than the challenges you covered on this episode, I am attracted by the quality of your work. This is word class material. Watching from SA🇿🇦
This was emotional. Thanks for making this video
I visited Nigeria. There is nothing being done to Nigeria that is not done by Nigerians . If you want good government or good leaders you have the obligation to be a good citizen.
Right
True!!
I don't think you can tell that just by visiting a country.
Yet there's Nigerians who scam the Western countries billions of dollars each year.
@@OutragedPufferfish but he/she is right though. Every corrupt practices by Nigerian politicians is done on a smaller scale by citizens. The ruling class caused it though
This made me cry. Great documentary, well done Tayo.
Hi Mr Tayo,
Thanks for this spectacular content. I'd like to see you in Brazil. I'm sure you gonna see and hear touching stories as well.
It’s so sad how undeveloped Africa is. It’s the richest continent! These governments are lavishing in luxury whilst their country people are living in misery.
Honestly very sad and annoying at the same time because can't the leaders see if the country is doing well then we all would be happy
When they see nobody challenges them they do it even more.
That is simply not true. Research the homeless British people in UK. That’s a laugh you think we are all living lavish lifestyles! Dream on lol
@@Ann-bm5qgWhat the hell are you even talking about?
@@Ann-bm5qgThey said leaders of the country and that country being Nigeria.
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 dad has been in the us for 6 years away from us, he had his sister at least to an extent, I'm just glad we could be joining him within 2 years
Fact ❤
Ignorant people has no capacity to think beyond their nose. Being actively negative about your country & heritage cannot change your identity. All these white supremacy Black collaborators are total disgrace to our well-cultured race. Rubbish video. AMO, UK
Stay out of our countries. You will never be one of us
All that PRAYERS change nothing.
Being Scottish (British) and living many years in Nigeria, I love to meet Nigerian people here in Scotland. Nigerian people have such a rich cultural heritage and add so much to the fabric of society here in the UK. Hardworking family oriented and people with integrity. It makes me sad that a few scammers have warped the reputation of the majority.
I cried with the woman who has such a beautiful baby boy, ive felt the exact same
This was SO well done fam! Watched the whole thing!
Amazing documentary. Might be the best video I've watched on the japa topic so far.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Stay in your country and fight for your life and for the future of your children
Cause if you don't, no one else will...
Leaving your country is not the solution..
You have a great country and Greats MINDs
Fight for It
This is true but life is short and there’s only so much time to create the kind of life you want for yourself and your family. The average Nigerian who relocates to another country has already spent decades making sacrifices for the country in one way or the other, grown disillusioned and decided to channel their efforts into outcomes/results they have more control over.
They won’t majority of them in my country sell drugs, busy with human trafficking and scamming.
@ Which country are you from ?
It's okay if everyone doesn't have common loyalty for a country that was forcefully created without their consent and self interest
@Kali-Ikigai that's the problem, you're not thinking of your future generations. All of these other countries you're running to, the forefathers experienced hardship too, but they fought to improve their countries. Nigerians don't - they run.
I often hear, Nigerians are the best, they are strong, they are competitive, but for some reason, they seem incapable of improving their own country. 🤷♀️
Tayo, I am glad you changed your thumbnail to be somewhat better. I was pained initially. No matter the current situation in Nigeria, we must remain optimistic, think positively, and look for the good and better side of the coin. I am not an avid traveller like you, but I have read many texts and watched many scenes of how Europeans and Asians live. Great minds who turn things around in their countries are not pessimists. Everything starts from our heart and thinking.
This documentary is so wholesome ❤
Damilola made me cry. Thank you tayo, your storytelling skill is top notch. I appreciate your work.
You can feel a lot of buried emotions, pains in their voices it got me broken I teared up I will definitely fight for my country God bless Nigeria and all her child amen 😢 may God continue to guide all Africans in the world
I wonder how you intend to fight for your country. I mean you don't have guns or control the armed forces but they do. You don't control the courts but they do. They can easily toss you into prison and waste your life there. So, saying you want to fight for Nigeria is wishful thinking. You can't.
@Samuelson471 then should we just back down and see ourselves being used as leaves in our own country 🙁 because we have no gun no court no force but do not forget one thing we have God that's all that matters
@@Samuelson471 1000% accurate - How can you fight for Nigeria really?
@@barontutor77 Don't also forget the country is 63 or 64 years old now. We've been here suffering for so long. We tried our best in the last election but you witnessed how everything went. It's been from one bad governance to another. Present bad governance is only 2 years. More 6 years to go. Most likely, they'll hand over to another bad one. We've been praying? Haven't we? If you ask me, I'll say, concentrate on your own life and family. You can't fight for Nigeria.
This broke me as an immigrant nurse I constantly have to prove myself that I am competent, it is a lot and this documentary made me reflect and I couldn’t believe I was weeping. Silent/ subtle discrimination is real. I was used to speaking quietly at work but it was interpreted as timid I have to change my whole personality and now I am vocal, I hardly smile so it don’t interpret has weakness but that is not who I am but hey it is UK you have to be tough.
Do you know CHAMA Mission?
Hmm. I'm not sure it's a good idea to avoid smiling. British people have a reputation for smiling a lot just to communicate friendliness. (Apparently Russian and Eastern European people think we're weird because we smile too much!) So being boldly vocal with a cheerful tone might earn you the most respect and allegiance.
@@andybrice2711It's not weird because you smile too much, it's weird because you often use it to cover up embarrassment, passive aggression and a ton of other emotions 😁
@@pwalk4160 Yes, you may well be right about that. Like an evolution of the old-fashioned "stiff upper lip" attitude.
@@andybrice2711 However I have learned after many years how to decode it (mostly haha) and it's almost natural to me too🙂On the flip side, as an Eastern European I can also see why others think we can be "unfriendly"
Tayo, Nigeria is not cursed. Things are tough, but we shall overcome. There are over 200m of us at home. I spent nine months in London. I felt like a fish out of water. Staying outside Nigeria is not an option for me. We dey here. We need to work hard to make Nigeria better, no doubt. If all of us leave, where do we go to, and who will build Nigeria?
God bless you bro. Nice write up
The government is one of Nigeria biggest problem
We will build Nigerian from abroad ❤
If all those who built the developed countries ran also during their tough years, would they have the UK to run too?
Smh I can’t even find a job without connection in Nigeria, even with all the solid CV and proof that I’m good at what I do, this country is a joke there’s no hope.
Nice from tayo..but ppl back home still need to learn about europe.i wish tayo can do doc on asylum camp in europe so that ppl in africa will know what it feel like to be undocumented immigrant in Western world!

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.
And there are over 200 million people still existing in the same place you speak of. Their existence hasn’t been erased in the past 20 years.

@ 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.

Really well done piece of content on this topic. Ive seen similar things happen over a much longer period with Indians. It must be a terrible feeling to know things could be so much better with some direct changes specifically infrastructure, but the politicians just don't ever change or enable the great and ambitious population to prosper.

The UK cannot sustain unlimited immigration. This is insane.

They always quote net migration figures, which hides the fact that the natives are leaving. Sorry, but the UK is not going to be good under Agenda2030! We are slaves to the financial system here!
Not just the UK but the rest of Europe too. All of sub Sahara Africa is expected to have their population triple by the end of the century, and 1/3rd of Africans want to leave. There’s absolutely no way a continent that is projected to have less than 700 million people will be able to sustain all these immigrants in the coming future, same for the US too.

Stop always playing the victim as all migrants are better treated in White Western countries than their own people treat them. Stop breeding like robots 1000 babies a day in Lagos alone who are registered + same number unregistered
As a South African🇿🇦this video makes me have respect for Nigerians and their reselience...
I pray Nigeria does better in the future…love how this shows the reality of Japa.
Your documentaries are so enlightening✨
The culture& mentality yall cultivated there is t0xic for a better c0untry.Yall need divide the c0untry everybody goes there own wayy.Is not a coincidence most people in western Hemisphere is from 9ja.Animosity prolly started during that time
I'm of two minds as there is nothing I would love more at present than to go back home. I might not be the best person to comment on this issue as I've lived in England for most of my life. 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. I am sorry if I have offended anyone, I just had to speak out loud. Much blessing to you all.
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.
Pls don’t come back to Nigeria fuel @1500😢😢
Yoo have NO obligation tp Nigeria.
Take this pressure off yourself.
I understand you but when are you planning to go back? I bet you have thought about it for years but there would be many benefits lost. Living in Nigeria is also not for the faint hearted. You only need to scroll through UA-cam 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.
The British workers can’t get jobs because jobs are being given to foreign workers at a cheaper salary than British workers would be able to live off yet you have this priviledged attitude towards the country who took African in. What is wrong with you that you think Africans are the victims in it? It’s the British people who are victims. Grow up!
Top notch quality as usual from Tayo!.
But please come oh! That guy on a blue jacket! Is he from Nigeria? No be oyibo be that?
Abi are my eyes paining me?
WoW!As a South African I pray God keep our fighting spirit, we fight blindly with anger when we see what the government does, We thank Granpa Mandela for teaching us to remove anyone we dont like if needs be!!Nigeria will bounce back..this is too much japaring
Same! I hope we can get younger good leaders in our country. Fellow young professional and I won't leave this is home!
Hmmmm
I'm really short of words. Thank you for sharing this pieces!
This is powerful and valuable for people to sit and listen to. I am nearly 60. I was born in London, moved to Naija when I was 8. The bullying was real, and that was within my extended family as well as school. I laugh when people talk about racism as the discrimination all through growing up was a daily this because I talked different, did not like Eba or Okra and could not tie Wrapper. In University it got worse as people said I’m showing off, this is me trying to hide my accent.
Then came to UK following the riots in ,1990 time, leaving family and friends behind. It was REAL and it still is. My first job was £1.75 in a kitchen. You pay for everything and have little left and then guilt tripped for not sending enough. My mum passed this year and the constant requests for money….. despite saying I’m not working at the moment as I’m not well.
So sorry about that.
Tayo is blessed. Let’s get him to 1m before Dec 31st.
I've told myself years back that I will make it in Nigeria. Today I'm happy i am 95% closer to my dreams. However we should be very careful when selecting leaders
Leadership and lazy followers hip is the problem of Africa.
Make you try find better passport wey you go buy before you wake from your dream
Yes bro
@@olisanwozor6394 I am in my reality bro na you dey dream
The leaders are a reflection of the people
Beautiful video. It proves everything that my Nigerian friends & ancestors r saying
Akorede will not die young Insha Allah...He will be the joy of the family 🙏
Allah is Satan.Seems you are blindly following what your parents taught you. Allah is a false gods and it Quran is a Harry Potter story. Fiction
There is no paradise anywhere ❤️
just work hard and hope for the best
Fake news I know a few paradise islands 🏝 around the world 🌎. Lips sealed 😅.
Nigeria is not a "just work hard" kinda place. The system is so flawed. Hard work alone is not enough. It can be a very frustrating environment.
Keep hoping
You lied. I can tell the difference between now and then in my life as a Nigerian leaving broad.
@@globalismoblackmanan Island on which you can be born, bred, educated and be competitive?
Out of context but this video is beautiful, is like u can feel everything that they said❤
The joy of a mother>>>>>>❤
Big shout out to all our strong Nigerian mothers🙌
If everyone moves from the country, who will bring the changes that you badly desire ?. Watching from Uganda.
I had this weird thought of leaving my country Nigeria but not anymore, we will make it here.
Thank you so much for this comment
Not all that glitters is gold
It is not always rosy out there
We stay in our "home"!
💯💯
Yes! Let's stay in our country and make it here. When you make it, everything you need and want will find you.
We make the world a better place in every aspect but leave our home broken.
Let's stay... Everything will surely get better by God's grace.
Brothers let's keep spreading the words. Thank you

Thanks for the video, this was very eye opening
The guy who said he can’t get over his dad’s death got me weeping, because that’s my current situation. I moved to the Uk in 2023 lost my dad 😢 in September 2024. Man was spry he wasn’t sick. 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.
Hardluck.
My God see you through your difficult times 💝
Be strong buddy
Please be strong okay and don't think of visiting village for now
