The citizenship is worth celebrating - Nigerian immigrant
A UK-based Nigerian man, Tosin, had a chat with Legit.ng where he reacted to what people were saying about Gbenro Ajibade becoming an American citizen.
Tosin said:
“In this ‘Japa pandemic’ and Trump era, anybody who says getting an American citizenship right now is nothing to celebrate, is just a hater. If things are fine in our home countries, nothing will make us consider leaving our loved ones and everything we know to start life afresh in a foreign country. I’m happy for Gbenro Ajibade and he needs to celebrate loudly if that’s what he wants. I have nothing to say about talks of his ex-wife being to thank for his new status. People can talk, that’s their business.”
