On his Instagram page, the singer said he regrets his decision as he has been struggling so much in silence. He revealed that he hasn’t seen his kids for about two years.
However, he is grateful to God that he is still alive, but he wishes he had never moved out.
Today, I regret ever deciding to leave Nigeria and move to the USA. I have been struggling so much in silence. Haven’t seen my kids for about two years now. I am grateful to God that I am alive still, but I wish I had never moved out here, honestly”.
A few weeks back, veteran actor and filmmaker, Ugezu Ugezu had shared the heartbreaking story of a Nigerian medical doctor who became a meat butcher in the US. According to him, the practising medical doctor sold his clinic and relocated to the US. Unfortunately for him, he became a butcher in a meat shop, hiding from Nigerians to avoid being noticed.
Award-winning comedian and actor Ayo Makun shared his opinion about the Japa syndrome. He opined that the syndrome of relocating overseas, tagged as Japa, will continue to occur in the country because of corrupt politicians who embezzle money when elected into political positions and have nothing to show off at the end of their tenure.
Reality TV star Tboss, sharing her opinion on the Japa syndrome, noted that abroad is not for the faint-hearted and advised that those planning to Japa listen to them.
Early last year, the former Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi, had given reasons why he would not encourage the emigration of Nigerians. He said ‘japa’ could only get someone a 9 to 5 job and advised young people in the country to push their way through to get into a place of decision-making, especially regarding the economy of Nigeria.
