Nigerian music star, Davido, has shared his thoughts on the growing trend of Nigerians opting to have their children abroad, especially among the upper and middle class.
In a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast, the globally acclaimed artiste likened the practice to purchasing an “insurance policy,” noting the long-term benefits for children born overseas.
Davido explained that foreign births often grant children access to better opportunities, including foreign citizenship, superior medical care, quality education, and the convenience of visa-free travel.
“Giving birth abroad is a common trend among Nigerians. Apart from having better [medical] facilities overseas, people want to have their kids abroad to save them the hassle of applying for visas,” he said.
This trend has continued to grow as Nigerians seek to secure a more promising future for their children, leveraging the advantages that foreign citizenship provides.
