A Nigerian YouTuber, Tayo Aina, has paid money to become a legal citizen of St Kitts and Nevis, a country in the Caribbean.
In a video he shared on his TikTok handle, Tayo said he doled out $150,000 (N135 million) to get the country's passport.
Tayo mentioned that he currently holds a Nigerian passport but encounters several limitations when using it for international travel, particularly in the locations where he produces his videos.
Becoming a St Kitts and Nevis citizen
He said he decided to invest $150,000 on the new passport to eliminate the limitations he usually faces with his Nigerian passport.
He wrote on TikTok:
"I bought a new passport/citizenship from St Kitts and Nevis for $150K. Travelling the world as a Nigerian became really difficult for me over time because of the frequent denials. With this new citizenship, I get to travel the world and bring you guys along with me. Where would you guys like us to travel to next?"
