His first experience in the US
According to the Nigerian youth, he realised that he had been wasting his time in Nigeria within five minutes of touching down at a US airport. In his words:
“The very first time I landed in the US, under five minutes at the airport, that was when I realised I have been wasting my time in Nigeria.”
He advised people to travel out at least once in their lifetime to experience life elsewhere.
“See, let me advice you eh, no matter how much you make in Africa, no matter how much you have worked in Africa, make it a necessity to travel abroad one day. Whether to hustle, whether to enjoy, vacation, tourism, very very important.”
In a video he posted on TikTok, the man highlighted certain reasons people should travel abroad.
