He prefers to be a slave in Ukraine
The man added that Nigeria is nothing to write home about, stating that he prefers to be a slave in Ukraine than to reside in Nigeria.
He also doesn't mind having his wife fly to Ukraine despite its current crisis.
"I can even take my pregnant wife abroad (Ukraine) to go and work and die there. I prefer it to her dying in Nigerian hospitals without power supply, water oxygen, hospital beds and the required medical personnel,'' he said angrily.
Some Nigerians do not share his sentiment

"Anybody that pays that $1000 to go and fight for a country that isn’t yours which you know you might not make it back alive is a big fool na me talk am… imagine paying for your own death."
