Speaking on the trend of Nigerians relocating abroad for greener pastures, she opined that people often look for something they don’t have, hence the reason for the ‘japa syndrome.’
She said, “People want something they don’t have; they appreciate something they don’t have more. Me coming here, it was all new to me. It was something I don’t have. I never had and I’ve it now. So, it’s like something new. It’s exotic.
“I found myself here. I discovered myself here. The same thing for Nigerians that are travelling out. People always want something they don’t have. It has always been like that.”
