Veteran Nigerian singer, Chukwuemeka Oputa aka Chaly Boy, has started a conversation on social media with a tweet about different migration trends among Nigerians in the UK and those in Nigeria.
In his tweet, Charly Boy humorously pointed out that Nigerians in the UK are working hard to build houses in Nigeria, while some Nigerians at home are selling their houses to move to the UK. This observation highlights the interesting contrast in ‘Japa’ goals between Nigerians abroad and those in Nigeria.
