The \u2018advisor\u2019 trend among Netizens who have relocated abroad has generated reactions among a few celebrities with reality TV star, TBoss weighing in on the trend. <\/p>\n

Netizens abroad tagged as \u2018Japa-ed people\u2019 often take to social media to give updates and comparisons about life in the diaspora. While many discourage those at home not to relocate (using the term Japa), others advise on the steps to take before relocating. <\/p>\n

Sharing her opinion on the Japa syndrome that has engulfed most Netizens, TBoss noted that abroad is not for the faint-hearted and advised that those planning to Japa listen to them. <\/p>\n

Nigerians\/Africans- we\u2019re truly spoilt. You think you will have a \u2018house girl\u2019 to baff your child or give you egusi and pounded yam at the end of a really tough day?\u00a0<\/p>\n

I laugh in Eskimo language. Think am well before you buy that ticket or sell off your properties. And arrange your monies- for jacket, gloves, shawl, boots, cap and then everything else cos when that Freezing breeze slap you, you go dey beg for that heat wey almost melt your face the other day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
