Japa Syndrome and the Economic Situation

Entertainment and brand Influencer, Anita Asouha also known, Real Warri Pikin, told newsmen that Nigerians have to be intentional and understand that they have to take life one step at a time.

She added that the “japa Syndrome” a phenomenon, that refers to Nigerians migrating to greener pastures abroad, shows that most people want to live in their future now.

According to her, there is no country that does not have its challenges and success stories.

Narrating her experience, she said she contemplated leaving Nigeria but didn’t succeed.

She added, however, that the disappointment of failing to get a visa pushed her to discover her own uniqueness, which eventually convinced her to stay back.

According to her, by staying back and working on her gift, she is now an entertainment personality and life coach.

The entertainer did not discourage people from leaving the country but advised that one can succeed in Nigeria if they take responsibility for their choices.

“I don’t blame anyone who wants to leave Nigeria. There was a time I wanted to leave this country, but they did not give me a visa.”

“But at the end of the day, I discovered what I could do to sustain myself.

“People can leave the country, it’s none of my business but I feel that it is people’s choice to leave, irrespective of the country’s economic situation.

“If everybody leaves Nigeria, who will now make things better for the country? Insecurity is everywhere.

“It is not everyone that can afford leaving Nigeria so I encourage anyone in the country to know that Nigeria’s future is bright,” she said.
