The Foundation Builder
Every japa journey starts with a plan. You just took step one.
Your target country is expensive relative to what you earn today. That is a real gap, and pretending otherwise would not help you.
But the gap is about this destination, not about you. Nigerians on your income leave every year — usually through employer sponsorship, a cheaper first destination, or a route where the employer covers relocation.
Your score reflects one country on one day. Change the destination or add sponsorship and the whole picture moves.
