Simi, a Nigerian singer and songwriter, has revealed why many Nigerians ‘japa’ in search of a better life.
It is no longer news that many Nigerians flee the country at the first sign of trouble. Many people will sell their homes in order to leave for a better life.
Simi took to Twitter and posted a couple of tweets about why Nigerians leave the country. Nobody wants to leave their friends and family behind, according to the mother of one. They ‘japa,’ however, and 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?”
