Festus Keyamo, the minister of state for labor and employment, has reprimanded Nigerians who have chosen to leave Nigeria, also known as "Japa.
Keyamo said that while other regions of the world are also experiencing global challenges, Nigerians have chosen to "Japa" as if the country is insulated from the current global concerns by posting a video of Parisians conducting a big demonstration over rising costs and cost of living.
MASSIVE PROTESTS ON THE STREETS OF PARIS OVER SOARING PRICES. MEANWHILE SOME ARE STILL PLANNING TO ‘JAPA’ ABROAD, AS IF NIGERIA IS IN ISOLATION FROM PRESENT GLOBAL ISSUES. SOME WHO KNOW THE ISSUES ARE ALSO DECEIVING NIGERIANS AND PLAYING LOCAL POLITICS WITH GLOBAL ISSUES pic.twitter.com/d7lcAUIJW9
