Young man compares UK to Nigeria
He explained that when he is at home, he lives like a king and comfortably, as he has a lot of things he needs or wants in his possession.
However, in the UK, he lives in a room and often lives like a slave, as he just goes to work, returns home, goes to church on Sunday, and already has a plan for what to do the next day.
He, however, says this is not the same when he is at home back in Nigeria.
@world_wisewisdom explained:
“I want to talk about diasporas in the West, especially Nigerians. I just asked myself this question: is it worth it moving from Nigeria to the West, I’m talking about the UK, Canada, America.”
“Because some of us, our living condition back home is not the best but it’s nice, you know. You have freedom, you have your own building. You’ve got boys, siblings that can help you do whatever you want, but over here, you’re living like a slave, you’re living in one room.”
“There’s no freedom, you have routine every day. You go to work, probably go to church on Sunday and that’s it. Your life is planned, you know what you’re doing the next day unlike Nigeria where you wake up and do whatever you want to do so far as you have the resources.”

In the TikTok video, he spoke about Nigeria being a very great place to live despite the level of insecurity and other issues happening in the country.
He continued:
“To me, Nigeria is a great place to be regardless of all the politics that’s playing out in the country, regardless of the insecurity.”
“If Nigeria could get it right, everyone will go back ASAP. There’s nothing here apart from the money, I’m already missing home. I just came back to the UK yesterday and I’m already missing home, missing my people, missing everybody already.”
He added to the caption of the video:
“But Nigeria is 6x harder than how I left it, you’d only enjoy it when you’ve got money!”
