About this data
How to read Japa Pulse
Where does this data come from?
From every calculation run on Japa Calculator since March 2026. Each one keeps only what was entered (profession, Nigerian state, destination, an income band, family setup and lifestyle), the scores, and how the visitor found the site. No name, email, IP address, location or device details are stored, and Pulse shows only totals.
Is a calculation the same as a person moving?
No. A calculation is not a person, and a destination researched is not a move: one person can run several calculations, and many never leave. Read Pulse as a measure of interest, not as migration statistics.
What is the Japa Score?
A score out of 10 for how ready someone is to move, weighing income, savings, skills and timing. The average and the verdicts count calculations since the score was recalibrated in June 2026.
Is there a fixed version I can quote?
Yes. Pulse changes every hour, so each quarter we fix its figures, with costs and rule changes, in the State of Japa report. For what each country costs, see the country cost guides.
