“Japa” is a word that has become common parlance among Nigerians and selected Africans. It took its origin from Yoruba language (one of Nigeria’s major languages) and it simply means to “hurriedly escape”. No doubt, the economic and security realities in the country is a predominant factor that keeps causing a mass exodus of students, professionals and non-professionals away from the country.
