We saw this on Twitter the other day:
After doing a weird mix of laughing and crying because she’s not wrong, we decided to do some research and make a list of ways one can japa. You know, for those who need it. (Everyone at this point.)
1) Marriage

First step: Find someone who’s a citizen of the country you want to immigrate to and love the hell out of them. If they love you back, get married. Why? Because being the spouse of a citizen of a country is the easiest way to immigrate to that country.
2) Work
![Work Permit Visa..](https://ghimmigration.com/work-permit-work-visa/img/work%20visa.jpg)
Work visas are valid for only one year. The key here is to get this visa (which you can only get when you get a job in the country you want to migrate to), and then, while you’re there, do every legal thing you can to turn it into a permanent one. May the odds be in your favour.
3) School
![How to School in the USA as a Nigerian | FastLagos](https://fastlagos.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/how-to-school-abroad.png)
This one is a 3 for 1 combo: You get another degree, get to experience what education is like in a sane environment, AND you can slowly transition into living there permanently if you get a job immediately after schooling.
If you need help with that third option, you’re in luck! INTO — an international study specialist organisation that helps students study and/or start careers in the US — is hosting an Open Doors Week event for Fall 2021 and future programs.
The event is to show potential students how to go about studying and eventually starting a career in the US. INTO works with their 20+ partner universities to create programs designed for international students. The virtual event will kick off in Nigeria/Cameroon 26th April to 2nd May, 2 pm to 7 am (+1: Next day) and in Ghana 26th April to 2nd May, 1 pm to 6 am (+1: Next day).
