According to Ojo Kehinde, relocating (japa) is the dream of many families and individuals who have lost trust in the Nigerian government or those who see no hope of progress in Nigeria.
He said:
"The unfavourable exchange rate is not helping, one will need to convert Naira to pounds, posing a significant financial burden. It's really hard to have savings of 15 to 20 million Naira in Nigeria at the moment. Many individuals and families resort to selling their properties to meet financial obligations.
Selling property to japa or relocate to another country is not a bad decision, provided the person has adequate information.
Many are doing very well in Nigeria and don't really need to Japa, but social media noise, show-off, and gratification have clouded their sense of judgment."
