Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simi has shared the real reason why many Nigerians ‘japa’ in search of a better life.
It is no longer news that many Nigerians leave the country at the slightest opportunity. Many go as far as selling their properties just to be able to leave for a better life. Simi took to Twitter where she released a couple of tweets revealing why Nigerians leave the country. The mother-of-one opined nobody ever wants to leave their friends and family behind. However, they ‘japa’, so they do not want to die feeling helpless.
Simi wrote: “Black Africans have to fight and fight for space and respect and survival everywhere they go because the one place that is their birthright is hard on their lives. One would think this would make African leaders wake tf up and help us fight for our dignity. Who really wants to go land of strangers, away from everyone and the thing they love? People that want to survive. Nobody chooses that life because it’s good or easy. They just don’t want to die feeling that helpless. But these leaders don’t love their country. They don’t love their people. They only love their greedy bellies. They only care about their own children. They only care about their families. As long as their wickedness is not happening to them, why stop?” See post below;
