The Crossroads Nigerian
All paths are open. The next 6 months of preparation will decide your direction.
You're in the middle of everything. Your Japa Score isn't bad, but it's not great. Your Stay Score is okay but not exciting. Your Remote Score shows potential but isn't dominant. You're the most common type on the calculator — and that's not a bad thing.
Being at the crossroads means you have OPTIONS. You're not locked into staying because you can't afford to leave. You're not forced to japa because Nigeria isn't working. You're in the messy, uncomfortable middle where the decision is genuinely yours to make.
Here's what the data shows about Crossroads Nigerians: the ones who moved their scores the most in either direction did ONE thing — they focused. They stopped trying to keep all three options open and picked a lane. The nurse who decided 'Canada, no matter what' and started IELTS prep. The designer who decided 'Remote first' and rebuilt their portfolio for international clients. Direction beats deliberation.
