Speed Darlington: Why Nigerians in Their 50s Shouldn’t Relocate Abroad

Speed Darlington: Why Nigerians in Their 50s Shouldn’t Relocate Abroad

Nigerian British rapper Speed Darlington argues that relocating abroad in your 50s offers little reward. He says older Nigerians risk starting a new hustle without seeing its payoff in time and believes migration is best left to those in their 20s. He pointed to celebrity experiences that highlight the struggles of moving overseas. Singer Dotman and veteran filmmaker Ugezu Ugezu have shared regrets, while comedian AY Makun blames corrupt politics for driving the “Japa syndrome.” Reality star TBoss and ex-governor Rotimi Amaechi also warn that life abroad isn’t for the faint-hearted. Pastor Femi Emmanuel adds that “the grass isn’t always greener” and advises serious reflection before leaving Nigeria. The discussion sheds light on the real challenges and timing of emigration.
