144. IS JAPA AN EGO LEVELLER?

Many Nigerians wear Japa with pride, chest high, feeling they have "made it." However, the reality of life abroad tends to humble people. Japa swiftly stripped his ego. A big man from Lagos may arrive in London and find himself cleaning offices at night. A graduate with a first-class degree may start stacking shelves. The titles you held at home mean little here until you prove yourself again. In that way, Japa is a powerful ego leveller.
This levelling is not intended to humiliate you, but rather to reset you. What matters abroad is what you bring to the table, not who you were at home. Nobody cares whether you drive a Prado or sit in boardrooms. The system does not bend for your past accomplishments. You must restart, sometimes from the very bottom. This teaches humility. If you resist, you will suffer. If you embrace it, you will grow.
Ego-levelling also displays character. Some people shrink when their status markers are removed; whilst others adapt and rebuild. Japa forces you to consider whether you genuinely have substance or if it was all for show. Can you live without applause, without people calling you ‘boss’, and without the security of familiar power? Those who rebuild with humility eventually rise higher, while those clinging to ego remain bitter and stagnant.

It also serves as a reminder that in the UK, respect is earned differently. The person you dislike today may be the one who helps you tomorrow. Systems here are unconcerned with tribe, family name, or fortune back home. They value consistency, honesty, and skill. Ego collapses when the playing field is levelled. That can be uncomfortable, but it's also liberating. You are forced to define yourself based on who you are, rather than the cacophony around you.
So, certainly, Japa is an ego-leveller. However, it also provides an opportunity to build on truth. If you let go of false pride and accept humility, you will be able to progress faster than you thought possible.
