Ace comedian, Ali Baba has taken to his IG page to speak on the
reason why Nigerians travel to the abroad in search of greener pastures.
Read what he wrote below:
Why did they leave? Dont answer. I will help you. They left because
Osahon who made it abroad, in less that 2 years, has gotten a job
(albeit illegal) that allows him live well, while arranging his
permanent stay. If he who does not have formal education, has become a
nurse in 3yrs and he is earning more than a banker. Uche don marry one
foreign passport. Bola who was a hair dresser here, now works in a
hairsaloon and sends money home. Not to mention Monday, an ordinary boy
at a car wash in Lugbe, Abuja, who made it across and now works at the
back of a restaurant and lives better than he used to here in Nigeria.
Much as we should discourage these Nigerians from travelling, if we want
to be honest with ourselves, the lure is too tempting. Don’t forget
that those who traveled will lie through their teeth to I justify why
they left. Then you have the matter of prostitution and organised crime.
The people who survive on these illicit businesses, will continue to
require fresh hands. The 16 year old girl that was fetching the idiot 50
euros every other night, from wear and tear, may not provide the same
amount of cash haul after a year. So, they will need new call girls.
People are shouting slavery! Slavery!!. Is this new? Nooop. ONCE YOU
FAIL TO EMPOWER YOUR POPULACE, THEY ARE BOUND TO USE THAT STATE OF
IGNORANCE AND LACK OF EMPOWERMENT to survive anyhow they can. Illegal or
otherwise. Ok so we bring them back from Libya. So What? We will
manufacture jobs before the chartered flight lands? Or would we have
done anything to engage those who had not made the trip just still
could? What do I know Sef? Shebi I am just a comedian?
