The thought of whether to leave or stay back in Nigeria has crossed the mind of your typical Nigerian youth who is privileged enough to dream in that direction. I say “privileged” because a flight from Nigeria to Canada — a popular Japa destination costs about 640 dollars, that’s 30 per cent of the average Nigerian’s yearly income…on just a flight.
For those who don’t know, Japa is Yoruba for run, escape, flee, desert, leave, retreat — you get the idea.
