What if leaving your country wasn’t just about money, but about finding the dignity you couldn’t find at home? In this video, we unpack the bittersweet reality of the ‘Japa’ phenomenon. We look at the stark contrast between the 83 Nigerians returning home from South Africa after facing xenophobia, and the 176,000+ who have successfully built new lives and gained British citizenship. History has a strange sense of humor, and Nigeria’s story is complex. But beneath the headlines about migration and passports, there is a deeper, more uncomfortable question we need to ask ourselves: What would Nigeria have to become for staying to be as beautiful as leaving? Join me, Lucy Okereke, as we explore the search for safety, the price of opportunity, and what home truly means to us today. Join the conversation: – If you had the opportunity, would you leave? – If you’re living abroad, did you find what you were looking for? – Let’s talk in the comments below.
