Singer Candy Bleakz has spoken out about the growing trend of relocating abroad, popularly referred to as ?japa.?

In a recent video, she shared thoughts on the challenges of living abroad, cautioning Nigerians to think carefully before making the move.

Candy Bleakz highlighted the harsh realities of life abroad, including demanding work schedules, high living costs, and harsh weather conditions.

She emphasised that the idea of ?greener pastures? abroad is not always accurate.

The singer advised Nigerians doing well to reconsider relocating, warning the stresses and monotony of life abroad may not be worth it.

Candy Bleakz suggested that relocation should only be considered as a last resort, when opportunities in Nigeria are limited.

She emphasised that people often overlook the difficulties of living abroad, including the high cost of living, demanding work schedules, and lack of community.

Bleakz encouraged Nigerians to appreciate the benefits of living in their home country and to carefully weigh their options before making a decision.

She said: ?Everybody is talking about Japa, japa, japa and talking about the UK, yet nobody is telling them about the price they have to pay. Did you tell them about having to work everyday from seven to six? Do you tell them about the cold, do you tell them about the bills? Or how hard it is to live.

?Do you tell them about how people don?t greet others in the UK? People don?t go anywhere unnecessarily because of tickets. One thing I have now realised about the UK is the fact that you have to work like you?re going to die.

?I feel like it?s crazy, imagine working all your life just to pay bills. It?s just that there is peace in the country. I would advise that if you?re in Nigeria and you?re blessed and making money, don?t relocate here. It?s stressful and it?s boring. The only reason you should consider japa is if there is no hope for you in Nigeria. Even some people in UK want to go back home?. (Via The Nation)
