Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has taken to social media to give tips to Nigerians youths desperate to leave the country.
According to him, before making plans to ‘Japa’, count the cost.
Omokri who stated that he’s not asking youths not to leave the country, said they should do that well prepared.
“You can even turn up uninvited to stay with your family. You can’t try that abroad. Your brother may call the cops on you. They are very individualistic and have firm boundaries.
“It may take a village to raise a child in Africa, but in Europe and America, children often have to raise themselves because both parents work, and weekends are spent at Mcdonald’s cinemas, football games, or museums.
“And since children are not taught to appreciate family bonds, parents grow old and are dumped in an old peoples home, so their children can live their lives,” he said.
Omokri added that communal life is treasured in Africa, “but it is not encouraged in the West. Many children do not even know their cousins. And neighbours can die in their homes and be undetected for weeks.
