Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has cited countries that are favourable to Nigerians planning to migrate out of the country.

Omokri pointed out that opportunities in the United States of America and the United Kingdom are beginning to dwindle.

In a video shared on social media, Omokri warned about the likelihood of the proliferation of xenophobia in popular European countries.

He advised people planning to “japa” to consider moving to California, as it is the best place in the whole world.

He said, "If you want to japa, do it scientifically, do it with research. Have your data.

I'm going to tell you this: the best place in the whole world to japa to is not just America, because a lot of people think America, no. America is not just one place.

The best place to japa to in the world is actually California. California has 0.5 percent of the world's population, but then it controls 4 percent of the world's gross domestic product (GDP) with a 3.9 trillion GDP. And anywhere in California is actually better than everywhere in Europa and Canada.

The best place to move to in California is going to be the San Francisco Bay Area in northern California. It is literally impossible to be poor if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area—except you are on drugs or you are unwilling to work.

If you have the opportunity and you want to japa, if you can't stay in Nigeria, if you can't stay in Ghana, if you can't stay in Kenya, if you can't stay in South Africa, rather than just move through the Mediterranean and then you go through all of those travails, try your possible best, do everything you can to japa to California."
