Nigerians running to other countries because of terrorism, unemployment, says Kenyan

A Kenyan man says terrorism and unemployment are some of the reasons Nigerians leave for other countries.

In a video trending online, the man said in an interview that Nigerians exhibit traits of “unnecessary aggression” when they live in other countries.

Over the years, Nigerians have been targets of attacks in several countries including Ghana and South Africa.

The man, however, said Nigerians would enjoy freedom in their host countries if they were better behaved.

“If you go to Congo, they’re not comfortable with Nigerians; both Zimbabwe and Zambia, they are not comfortable with Nigerians. In fact, even a country that is close to Nigeria like Ghana has problems with Nigerians. This is a natural trait that Nigerians have; there is unnecessary aggression that other people don’t find comfortable,” he said.

The man listed terrorism, overpopulation and unemployment as reasons for the movement of Nigerians to other African countries.

He said Nigerians deposit their population, alongside their cultures, “which do not fit in us” in host countries, adding that they also engage in illegal businesses and tender fake currency notes.

He appealed to Nigerians to adhere to the norms of whichever country they reside in.

“I think because of the terrorism effect that is going on in their country, and because of the bulging population and the high rate of unemployment, so, they are operating like Chinese. They are finding where they can deposit their population and unfortunately, they are depositing themselves with their Nigerian cultures which do not fit in us,” he said.

“Even in Nairobi here…if you go to Donum, they are doing very crazy things with our ladies. In fact, even this week on Sunday, the police arrested three people and some of them were Nigerians with fake money …, illegal trade done by these guys.

“We are only asking Nigerians and other foreigners in our country that, let them live within the norms and traditions of the people of that host country for them to enjoy the freedom and everything that that country brings.”

The video, however, dates back to 2019.
