Trapped Abroad or Just Regret? The Hard Truth Nigerians Won’t Say

In this video, I respond to the growing number of Nigerian immigrants abroad — especially in the UK — who say they feel trapped and even compare their lives to slavery. Some claim the system is rigged to keep them stuck in a cycle of work, bills, and regret. But let’s be honest: no one forced you to leave Nigeria. You saved, you paid, and you migrated. That’s not slavery — that’s a choice.

I break down why comparing life abroad to slavery is not only disrespectful to real historical suffering, but also a sign that many people are simply disillusioned with the reality of 9-to-5 life. I highlight the difference between lack of planning and actual oppression, and why many are blaming the UK system instead of owning their own decisions.

It’s time for some tough love. If you’re abroad and feeling stuck, it might not be the country — it might be your expectations. Watch till the end and let me know your thoughts. Do you feel trapped abroad, or are you just regretting the path you chose?
