Popular content creator and actor Emmanuel Taymesan has revealed why he may never relocate or “japa” from Nigeria despite its challenges.
Currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, Taymesan shared a candid video on his Instagram page where he admitted feeling an unusual urge to return home soon.
He explained that while Nigeria often frustrates him, he feels deeply attached to the country and cannot imagine living permanently abroad.
“I have made peace with the fact that I am in an abusive relationship with Nigeria. All those kain relationships wey be say the guy go dey beat the girl and once they settle, the guy go knack craze comot the girl, that’s how I feel about Nigeria. I no fit stay long for abroad. I have not stayed more than 10 to 14 days,” he said humorously.
Taymesan added that Nigeria gives him both “pain and pleasure,” describing the country as a source of frustration and fulfilment at the same time.
“Nigeria gives me pain and pleasure, I can’t help it, I’m stuck! I’ve told God that I will take this pain and pleasure from Nigeria as long as you provide for me to be able to run away for pleasure. But say make I pack or relocate from Nigeria? I no fit, we die there. We’re the leaders of tomorrow, we will build that Nigeria!” he concluded.
His post has since sparked reactions from fans who praised his patriotism and sense of humour while sharing similar sentiments about life in Nigeria.
