- Speaking on relocation trend, Candy Bleakz highlighted the challenges of living abroad
- The singer highlighted the harsh realities of life in countries like the United Kingdom, where many Nigerians migrate in search of better opportunities.
Nigerian singer Candy Bleakz has weighed in on the growing trend of relocation, known as “japa,” urging Nigerians to carefully consider their decisions before leaving the country.
In a recent video, Candy Bleakz highlighted the often-overlooked challenges of living abroad, particularly in countries like the United Kingdom.
She emphasized the demanding work schedules, harsh weather conditions, and high cost of living that many migrants face.
Candy Bleakz cautioned that the reality of life abroad often differs from the perceived notion of “greener pastures.”
She advised Nigerians who are thriving in their home country to think twice before relocating, emphasizing that the stresses and monotony of life abroad may not be worth the trade-off.
According to Candy Bleakz, relocation should only be considered as a last resort, when opportunities in Nigeria are scarce.
She explained:
“Everybody is talking about Japa, japa, japa and talking about the UK, yet nobody is telling them about the price they have to pay. Did you tell them about having to work everyday from seven to six? Do you tell them about the cold, do you tell them about the bills? Or how hard it is to live.
“Do you tell them about how people don’t greet others in the UK? people don’t go anywhere unnecessarily because of tickets. One thing I have now realised about the UK is the fact that you have to work like you’re going to to die.
“I feel like it’s crazy, imagine working all your life just to pay bills. It’s just that there is peace in the country. I would advise that if you’re in Nigeria and you’re blessed and making money, don’t relocate here. It’s stressful and it’s boring. The only reason you should consider japa is if there is no hope for you in Nigeria. Even some people in UK want to go back home”.
