Japa: “Why are Nigerians this euphoric when leaving their country?” – Kenyan food scientist reacts after Nigerian woman announced her relocation abroad

A leading Kenyan food scientist, Dr Dennis Adison Ouma, has reacted after a Nigerian woman celebrated her relocation abroad.

The lady, Lilian Nkemdirim had taken to X on Thursday, September 12, to announce her relocation, a dream she’s been nursing since 2022. 

“Nigeria will be great one day!!! Bye,” she wrote.

Commenting on the post, Dr. Ouma said something must be terribly wrong with Nigeria for its citizens to be so euphoric about leaving their country.

“There is Something terribly wrong with Nigeria. Why are Nigerians this EUPHORIC when leaving their country to USA, UK, Western world. I have never seen Kenyans celebrating leaving Kenya, in fact they wish they don’t leave Kenya. But Nigerians celebrate leaving their country every hour on social media. There is indeed a brain drain crisis in Nigeria,” he wrote.
