Japa: Countries granting visas to Nigerian youth are wicked — Senator Amosun
A former governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun said foreign nations granting visas to young Nigerians are wicked.
He stated this in his reaction to the mass exit of Nigerians to the United Kingdom, Canada, and other foreign nations. Speaking to BBC on the growing “Japa” trend, Amosun said, “I have heard about it and the reports are scary. All our youths and young talents are traveling out of Nigeria, seeking greener pastures, and the prospective countries are deliberately giving them visas to leave the country, without putting the origin country into consideration.
What scores me most in all this is the proliferation of emigration. Foreigners will not fix our nation for us if all our citizens should leave the country. I am seeing the countries granting visas to our youths as wicked because they are not considering the origin nation, from which their prospective labour force is coming from.
