8️⃣ Don’t compare your journey. Everyone’s migration story is different. Move at your own pace. This one is very important, Mr. Callistus may use 2 months to settle down, while yours is running into 2 years, please don't put yourself under unnecessary pressure.

7️⃣ Have at least a 3–6 month survival plan. A landing plan reduces anxiety and increases your chances of stability. A job, a skill, family etc, have something oo especially if you're going with your entire family.

6️⃣ Build a global network before you land. Join diaspora groups, connect with alumni, message professionals working in your field. It's not a time to be an introvert ooo, Ogs you'll start reaching out to people there even before you travel. Be careful who you reach out to though.

5️⃣ Research cost of living deeply. Check rent, transportation, groceries, and taxes. Don’t enter a country blindly because “people are going there.” Your eyes will peel and I'm not trying to make you afraid, if you think I'm lying, just try it and see.

4️⃣ Start gathering documents early. Transcripts, reference letters, proof of funds, passport renewal — don’t wait until you need them to avoid fire brigade approach.

3️⃣ Choose countries based on pathways, not vibes or Instagram trends. Study the immigration routes (PR, study, work visa, family). Your choice should match your long-term goal. If you choose a country because your friend is there you msbt suffer oo

2️⃣ Build skills that travel well. Tech, healthcare, research skills, product roles, writing, digital skills, these open global doors faster. If you like go and be learning typewriting, body go tell you 😂

1️⃣ Get clarity on your “WHY.” Migration is not an emotional decision. Define your purpose for the "japa" kini— career growth, education, stability, or opportunities.

Let me tell you how Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala navigated her journey from Nigeria to the US..Incase you're looking to go there too. You think migration is only about “packing your bags and going abroad.” But the truth is: your skills, values, and mindset determine… A thread 🧵

So if you’re planning to migrate, ask yourself: “Am I preparing for the opportunity I’m chasing?” So, become a person of value especially if you want to be treated well when you get abroad. PS: Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is my role model.
