Why Africans abroad won’t tell you their reality – Seun Kuti
  • Seun Kuti claimed that many Africans who have relocated abroad often conceal the true challenges of their day-to-day lives from those back home.
  • He explained that if Africans abroad were transparent about their realities abroad, many aspiring migrants might reconsider leaving their home countries.

Nigerian singer and activist Seun Kuti has shared his thoughts on what he perceives as an “unwritten rule” among Africans living abroad.

According to Kuti, many Africans who have relocated to foreign countries often conceal the true challenges of their daily lives from those back home.

During an Instagram live session, Seun Kuti claimed that Africans abroad tend to present a more favorable image of their experiences, rather than revealing the difficulties they face.

He suggested that this phenomenon is driven by an unspoken agreement among Africans abroad to withhold the truth about their lives.

Seun Kuti argued that if Africans abroad were more transparent about their realities, it could potentially deter others from leaving their home countries in search of “greener pastures.”

He emphasized that a more honest portrayal of life abroad could help individuals make more informed decisions about migration.

He said:

“There is no single African who has Japa that can come and tell you that what I’m about to say is a lie. There is a silent, non-spoken, non-written agreement between every African who has travelled not to relay his true experience to his people.

“Every single African here who has left Africa for greener pastures, they have an unwritten code among themselves not to tell you the reality of their day to day experience. If the Africans abroad create a blog to tell you their real experiences, nobody from Africa would go again. We would end up saying, ‘i would rather die.'”

In another news, Burna Boy surprises Seun Kuti with diamond chain featuring Fela Pendant.

The surprise gift, a diamond iced neckpiece, features a pendant of the singer’s late father, the iconic Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.

Seun took to social media to share a picture of the precious gift, which was once owned by Burna Boy, and expressed his heartfelt thanks for the kind gesture.
