Let’s be real: in 2026, the dream isn't just to travel to the UK or Canada. The real "soft life" is living in Nigeria but getting your salary from a company in San Francisco or London. We call this "Japa from Home."
Why pay $2,000 for a tiny room in London when you can earn $2,000 and live like a king in Uyo or Ibadan? But getting these jobs isn't about luck; it's about positioning.
The "Japa from Home" Strategy
- Fix Your LinkedIn: Stop using a selfie as your profile picture. In 2026, global recruiters use AI to scan LinkedIn. If your "Headline" doesn't have keywords like "Remote Ready," "Agile," or "Cross-functional," you are invisible.
- Target "Time-Zone Friendly" Countries: Nigerian time (WAT) is almost the same as the UK and Europe. Focus your search there. It’s easier for a company in Berlin to hire you than one in Sydney.
- Prove Your Infrastructure: In your interview, don't wait for them to ask. Tell them: "I use Starlink for 99.9% uptime and have a 5kVA solar setup." This removes the "Nigeria Factor" fear from their minds.
