media personality, Daddy Freeze, has urged married Nigerians over 40 to abandon dreams of relocating abroad warning that the move could shatter families and futures while sharing his advice on The Honest Bunch Podcast targeting the popular japa trend amid Nigeria's economic hardships.
According to him relocation should only be considered under two conditions - “one is the suffering in Nigeria is unbearable or the enjoyment promised abroad is much more than anything you can have here.”
Outside of these reasons, he warned married couples to stay put.
He cautioned, “Avoid America and avoid the UK for now. If you are married avoid relocating for now.” Explaining his stance,Daddy Freeze pointed to immigration challenges noting that couples may give birth to children abroad yet struggle with citizenship issues due to evolving immigration policies.
“What couples now do is to divorce each other and get married to other partners for papers especially in the UK and US except one of them is a citizen” he said.
Raising a critical question about the emotional toll of such arrangements, he asked, “How many marriages can survive a divorce and remarriage of the same couple?”
The broadcaster highlighted harsh realities in the United States and United Kingdom where strict visa rules family reunification delays and policy shifts often leave couples separated for years or force unethical shortcuts like sham divorces and remarriages to secure residency papers.
