Real Migrants. Real Stories. Real Talk.

Welcome to The Japa Talks — the podcast where journo-migrants get real about life abroad. Hosted by veteran broadcast journalists Joshua Ajayi and Ajoke Lijadu, this show dives deep into the raw, unfiltered realities of the Migrants' journey — from the decision to leave, to settling into a new country, and everything in between.

Each week, we unpack personal stories, immigration struggles, mental health battles, financial surprises, career pivots, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with chasing the “better life” outside the home country. Whether you're a student, skilled worker, dependent, or still planning your escape, this podcast is your honest companion on the road to relocation.

🎧 Expect real conversations, guest interviews, practical tips, and a whole lot of hard truth about the diaspora life you won’t hear anywhere else.
