1. Apply for Fully Funded Scholarships
One of the best ways to Japa from Nigeria without money is to secure a fully funded scholarship. Many universities and organizations worldwide offer scholarships that cover tuition, accommodation, and sometimes even living expenses.
Look for scholarships in Canada, the UK, the US, and Germany. Websites like Scholarship Positions and DAAD list various scholarships you can apply for.
2. Join International Volunteer Programs
Another affordable way to Japa from Nigeria is through international volunteer programs. Organizations like Workaway or Worldpackers offer programs where you work a few hours per day in exchange for free accommodation and meals.
Although you may still need to save up for a flight ticket, you won’t need much to sustain yourself when you arrive.
3. Try a Skill Exchange
You can participate in skill exchange programs if you have a skill like farming, teaching, or construction. Websites such as WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) connect volunteers with hosts who offer free food and lodging in exchange for work.
Teaching English is another great option, especially in Asian countries with a high demand for English teachers. You could even get a teaching job that covers your accommodation and living expenses.
4. Apply for Job Opportunities Abroad
Some employers abroad may be willing to cover relocation expenses if they see value in your skills. Look for international job vacancies on LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor.
Focus on positions that mention visa sponsorship or relocation assistance. It might take some time, but with a strong application, you could land a job that covers your travel expenses.
5. Seek Asylum or Refugee Status (If Applicable)
If you are facing serious threats or persecution in Nigeria, you may seek asylum in another country. While this is a sensitive and challenging route, it is a legitimate option if you have a valid claim.
For more information, contact the nearest embassy of the country where you seek asylum or visit the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) website.
6. Participate in International Competitions
Some international competitions come with rewards that include travel opportunities, sponsorships, or educational grants. If you’re skilled in writing, technology, or arts, look for global contests and try your luck.
Winning one of these competitions can give you a chance to Japa from Nigeria with no money.
