The Nation Newspaper Japa: Nigerians relocating overseas to take jobs they rejected at home – First Lady

Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has said that Nigerians leave their country of origin for affluent nations like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada to take jobs they would not do back home.

Tinubu stressed the importance of Nigerians supporting each other and assisting those in need rather than spending extravagantly on leisure activities, adding that the government cannot solve all the problems The First Lady said: “Look at all those people saying they are going to Japa, they go there. What work are you going to do? You know, work that you refused to do at home where you have loved ones, you now end up to go and do there. With all their education, they’re driving cabs, but they won’t drive cabs here,” Sen Tinubu said.

“Now you don’t even know who the poor are. If they don’t ride a car, they will say they are poor. If you don’t have your own home, they will say they are poor.”
