The high cost of living, and insecurity have continued to push many Nigerians out of the country in search for a better life, which is popularly known as ‘Japa’.

Among the countries that offer visas for Nigerians to ‘japa’ are the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, New Zealand and others, because of exciting life opportunities.
