After his incendiary remarks regarding the current “Japa” trend on the TalkwithRuth podcast, Nigerian billionaire businessman Keji Giwa has set social media abuzz. Giwa expressed regret, in a straightforward manner, about the number of his top employees who have moved abroad, resulting in talent shortages for his businesses.

“A lot of my employees have Japa’d,” he said, noting that some of the best hands he trained eventually left the country. While the host suggested they had “used and ab¥sed” him, Giwa disagreed. “Those people that you employed that have now left, they were some of the best workers that you’ve had,” he admitted.

“We have now trained all of them to the point that most of them have left the country. What do we have left now?” He argued that stricter visa policies in the UK and Canada have inadvertently helped Nigerian employers retain staff.

“If not for the UK putting stringent rules and Canada putting stringent rules on their visa application, you think they wouldn’t have left?” In a shocking twist, Giwa openly said he prays for visa denials and deportations so skilled Nigerians can return home. “I’m praying to God that they deport them. I’m praying to God that their visas are not extended, that UK has its own version of ICE.

I need these brains back in Nigeria,” he declared. He stressed that he cannot run his ventures alone while listing them. “My brain alone cannot sustain,” he said. He revealed that he had prayed in secret for a former employee’s UK visa to be refused so that he could bring her back on staff in Nigeria.

When asked whether he could afford to pay them upon their return home, however, his shocking reply was, “The poor distribution of income puts me in a position where I can pay lower wages.”
