• 0:11
  Lauren. See, how are you all doing?
• 0:12
  I hope you're doing great for today's episode.
• 0:15
  I want to talk about the mass deportation of Nigerian youths.
• 0:21
  The reason why I say use is because most of the videos that
• 0:24
  are floating on social media are Nigerian youths, these are you
• 0:30
  Young people young enterpreneurs, young
• 0:33
  enterprising people that could have done better or could have
• 0:36
  made better choices, or better plans.
• 0:40
  I mean, we all know that the Jack McCall chiral is like
• 0:44
  Eminence. Like everybody wants to Jack.
• 0:47
  My everybody wants to leave Bots, have you sat down to ask
• 0:52
  yourself what are your plans? It's not just about getting your
• 0:57
  visas. A lot of people.
• 1:00
  To get their visas. They go to church, they do
• 1:02
  Thanksgiving, they say, oh well my problems are over, like I
• 1:06
  have arrived live in Nigeria is not, it's not.
• 1:11
  I'm going to another country is not the destination.
• 1:14
  It's not the endpoint that is just the beginning of your
• 1:18
  journey. Regardless of what you think
• 1:20
  your qualifications your skill sets.
• 1:24
  You just getting to that point to start afresh to start your
• 1:29
  life all over. Over again, like, you tell
• 1:31
  people, okay, move from Lagos maybe to color, but they will
• 1:36
  tell you how do you want me to start all over again in color
• 1:39
  bar? But they think moving from
• 1:42
  Nigeria to Diaspora? They think is easier.
• 1:46
  They think oh, they are going to just get their Pig goes on the
• 1:49
  streets. And these are the people that
• 1:51
  get deported India, deported over 190, 190 newts previous
• 1:59
  couple of Montego to buy deported almost 600 and urine
• 2:04
  units and you sit down and these are just ones that are known.
• 2:08
  There are so many other countries are deported Nigerians
• 2:11
  and you sit down and ask yourself, why are these things
• 2:15
  happening? We know that a lot of people are
• 2:18
  living in Nigeria and mass due to the security situation in
• 2:24
  Nigeria financial situation. But you have to also realize as
• 2:30
  that, it is not just Niger and is going through this financial
• 2:33
  difficulties world after the pandemic is in recession,
• 2:38
  everybody is creeping down the barrel, like everybody is trying
• 2:43
  to survive. Now you see a lot of people,
• 2:46
  they save money, they sell land, they get, we're talking about
• 2:50
  millions of naira people using traveling to do, by people using
• 2:55
  traveling to India to different parts of the other parts of Woad
• 3:01
  and when this will get deported, what they give them is a hundred
• 3:05
  dollar to sort themselves out. There are a whole bunch of
• 3:09
  people online, crying for Nigerian government to come and
• 3:12
  come to their aid to come and help them leave the countries
• 3:16
  that they are in because the conditions are unfavorable.
• 3:21
  You go to u.s. North America, you see a lot of
• 3:25
  people struggle on the streets living Roth you have rough.
• 3:30
  A you have homeless people and you look at these people and
• 3:35
  most of them are most of the black people.
• 3:37
  You see, there are Nigerians and you ask yourself or Africans.
• 3:42
  You ask yourself what is happening.
• 3:45
  A whole lot of people are celebrating.
• 3:47
  The fact that people are living Nigeria.
• 3:50
  People are living and jurors to get a better life out there.
• 3:53
  But at what cost, what is the standard of living of those
• 3:57
  people? Most of them are Just illegal in
• 4:02
  the countries that they are going into.
• 4:04
  Most of them are just the job. I can't even, I don't even know
• 4:09
  how to explain this. It breaks my heart to see these
• 4:13
  videos online, and when you advise people, when you say,
• 4:18
  okay, what do you want to travel?
• 4:20
  Why do you because you asked this you to, why do you even
• 4:24
  want to travel? And most things that they will
• 4:26
  tell you, is they want to host, they want to make money.
• 4:30
  I really like, okay, making money is a byproduct, like, what
• 4:35
  are the steps that you have in place to get these things?
• 4:38
  Do? Tell you, oh, a friend of mine
• 4:40
  travel, six months ago and is already building skyscrapers,
• 4:45
  excuse me. If these are the issues, these
• 4:49
  are the issues you travel. In six months, you don't even
• 4:53
  know your left from your right? You're still trying to get into
• 4:56
  the culture of the country that you coming.
• 5:00
  You'll still trying to know where the bus stop is where
• 5:03
  you're just still trying to get some getting a job.
• 5:07
  But I think there's this mindset, there's this
• 5:11
  orientation. The Nigerians have that.
• 5:14
  Once you travel you coming, you hit the ground running.
• 5:18
  You start making money pounds or dollars when you exchange act in
• 5:22
  Nigerian rate narrate, you think?
• 5:25
  Oh my God, I'm a millionaire in the next two months.
• 5:29
  Have you thought about Bills. Have you thought about rent?
• 5:32
  Have you talked about cost of living?
• 5:34
  People are not putting any of these things into consideration
• 5:37
  before traveling. I remember like I am not going
• 5:40
  to sit down here claim holier-than-thou.
• 5:43
  I traveled. And one of the Saving Grace I
• 5:47
  had was somebody who came back from Europe.
• 5:52
  Came back from the UK and they had they traveled as a visitor
• 5:58
  and they had so much Oops, this lady was using other people's
• 6:02
  documents work. She couldn't even and when she
• 6:07
  was doing all those things should work, like she was
• 6:09
  walking around the club and she was still have to share that
• 6:13
  salary with the person who was using the document to work, and
• 6:17
  that made it very difficult. Once she pays our veins, and it
• 6:21
  was so difficult for her to even save money to do anything for
• 6:25
  ourselves. She later met somebody who told
• 6:28
  that just leave Come back to Nigeria.
• 6:31
  If you leave voluntarily, I wish you stayed there for like six in
• 6:34
  six years and this person told her just come back, voluntarily,
• 6:39
  volunteer, that you're living you over stage, you apologize
• 6:44
  and you're living. There would have more sympathy
• 6:48
  for you. They will not like stamp 10
• 6:51
  years Visa ban on you. Once you do that voluntarily,
• 6:56
  she was able to do that. She go back to Nigeria and then
• 6:59
  she was able to Save some money, demolish use.
• 7:01
  She was able to process a student visa and she came back
• 7:05
  and before then she was telling me that because then we are
• 7:08
  trying to get travel. I remember went to the Embassy
• 7:11
  where you're sitting down, everybody was using castle in
• 7:14
  the air, but is beating cousin in the are basically.
• 7:19
  We're just saying that all we're going to go, we're going to get
• 7:22
  signal a very good job. I was an it and I'm like, oh my
• 7:26
  God, I thought my guess it job. I'll be doing this.
• 7:29
  I'll be doing that. She said listen, it is not what
• 7:32
  you think it is. You're going to get there in the
• 7:35
  next six months. You don't even know your left
• 7:36
  from your right. One year is going to come quick
• 7:39
  on you before you even realize before you even know where your
• 7:44
  boss stop is. One year has gone by not even to
• 7:48
  talk of use talking about six months, you're going to do this,
• 7:51
  you're going to do that. She told us her story and I
• 7:54
  remember everybody was looking at her.
• 7:57
  Like, you feel you, like you stay there for six months.
• 8:00
  So for six years, I couldn't even do anything.
• 8:03
  The other of my friend came back after 6 months, and we're
• 8:06
  building skyscrapers were driving the latest cars and all
• 8:11
  that and you some of the guys said, oh, because you're a
• 8:14
  woman. You know, you couldn't do any of
• 8:16
  those things because like I was I sat down and I listened to her
• 8:22
  because deep down I actually told myself that my story was
• 8:27
  going to be different but that does not.
• 8:29
  Negate the fact that I learned I picked the lessons from what she
• 8:34
  said. She said, listen once you get
• 8:36
  there, don't think like leave all your assumptions, drop them
• 8:41
  at the airport and once you get there face, whatever you have to
• 8:44
  face, but always hold onto that go.
• 8:48
  That you have implemented regardless, if it's going to
• 8:52
  take you ten years, don't let go of it.
• 8:55
  Regardless of the situation, you're going to find yourself in
• 8:58
  that helped me lat. Because I gots when I got here,
• 9:03
  I was I was I was shocked, first of all, because it was not as
• 9:08
  easy as you think. Oh, you're going to just get
• 9:10
  injured. There are jobs everywhere,
• 9:12
  you're going to get a job and all that.
• 9:14
  It was not that easy. It took me a while to get a job.
• 9:18
  And listen, that's the reason for another G.
• 9:22
  My point is, I had an idea of what it was like before.
• 9:29
  Even coming if nobody had told me.
• 9:33
  And like we had guys who are sitting down on this lady told
• 9:38
  us the story and some of the artists who they are, I am still
• 9:42
  friends with some of these people and some of them who
• 9:45
  said, oh, you're just a woman. You, you did not, you're not
• 9:49
  smart, you're not, you're not a hustla.
• 9:51
  I am going to come out whole soup. 90% of them today are just
• 9:57
  roaming the streets, doing odd jobs.
• 10:00
  We're talking about 13 years later.
• 10:03
  These people don't even know their left from their, right?
• 10:06
  So, you sit down and you think about most of these people that
• 10:11
  are being deported people, that they have told what is your end
• 10:18
  goal? What is your objective?
• 10:21
  Why do you want to travel you hear this?
• 10:23
  We will say I want to make money, I want to host.
• 10:26
  So so what are you what are you plans to actually put these
• 10:30
  things in place? They don't have any plan or they
• 10:34
  want to do is the Fielder's, once they travel, all their
• 10:38
  problems are solved. So when they get to this
• 10:41
  destinations and the reality of the whole thing, hit them in the
• 10:44
  face, it is very hard for them to now adjust their minds or
• 10:50
  adjust their situation to fit into where they are instead.
• 10:54
  Said they were rather because they are not there to work and
• 10:58
  earn minimum wage for them to work a double shift to get
• 11:03
  money. No, this is not.
• 11:04
  They feel that they are supposed to be getting truck loads of
• 11:09
  money at a time. I'm building skyscrapers in six
• 11:12
  months when the realization hits that, okay?
• 11:15
  This is not how it is. Some of these people going to
• 11:17
  Crime, some of these were going to unscrupulous businesses.
• 11:21
  Some of these people do things that is not Within the confines
• 11:25
  of the laws of the land and these are the people that are
• 11:29
  deported. We talked about the protein six,
• 11:32
  almost six hundred, youths, two months ago and India, English
• 11:39
  departing almost 200 people. This is within three months, we
• 11:46
  are having almost a factor. We're not talking about other
• 11:49
  countries, almost 1000 people and India the 100, the people
• 11:55
  are that are in detention are over a thousand people do by the
• 12:00
  potent. Almost 600 people.
• 12:02
  The people that are on detention are over 2,000, the people that
• 12:07
  roaming the streets are over 5,000.
• 12:10
  So you see people traveling and then you're like, okay so put
• 12:15
  some of these people, they've been there for 45 years.
• 12:19
  If you tell some of these people before you travel, why don't you
• 12:22
  research the countries that You're traveling to, why don't
• 12:25
  you check the skills that is required?
• 12:28
  That they are looking for every country is lacking in one sector
• 12:32
  or the other. Once you can tap into that
• 12:34
  sector then even if that is not your original background,
• 12:42
  educational background, you can do something to fix yourself in
• 12:45
  when you finish secondary school and decided to study law, you do
• 12:48
  not know anything about law before you became a lawyer.
• 12:51
  When you finish secondary school and decided to study The main
• 12:54
  thing you know know jack shit about medicine before what you
• 12:58
  did that you qualify, you got that certificate.
• 13:01
  So why do you think I don't understand why people think it
• 13:05
  is difficult to go back to school and get another
• 13:10
  qualification that will help you.
• 13:12
  Some of these will tell you. I three years to go back and
• 13:15
  study. Another course y can be
• 13:17
  traveling at the making money. These are the people that will
• 13:20
  be there for four years for 56 years.
• 13:24
  Not deported and they're giving a hundred dollars at the
• 13:29
  airport. Some of them are online crying
• 13:31
  for Nigerian government to come to their aid to command and take
• 13:35
  them because they don't even have flight tickets the
• 13:38
  countries. Some of these countries, they
• 13:40
  don't even want to Bear the burden of the cost of departing
• 13:44
  these people. So they are all in detention
• 13:47
  centers and it's just, it's just ridiculous.
• 13:51
  It's just ridiculous, everybody. Wants to travel.
• 13:55
  Everybody wants to Jack Paar but not everybody is prepared.
• 14:00
  Not everybody is prepared and most times when you tell these
• 14:03
  people do your research whole bunch of people are paying
• 14:09
  ridiculous amounts of money for school fees, especially in the
• 14:12
  UK to come and study those in the UK are taking loans to pay
• 14:18
  this to pay for this school fees.
• 14:21
  So you're thinking. Okay, you're coming back, you're
• 14:23
  selling. Bertie's, you're getting loans
• 14:26
  to come and pay your school fees and you think even after going
• 14:29
  to that school, are you willing to start from the bottom?
• 14:33
  Are you willing to do internship?
• 14:35
  Are you willing? Some of them will tell you.
• 14:37
  I have master's degree. Why would I go and do
• 14:40
  internship? That they will not pay me or
• 14:42
  they will pay me. Just this small amounts of money
• 14:46
  homie with master's degree but you don't have any experience.
• 14:51
  You are they doing jobs that you're thinking?
• 14:54
  Okay, this job is giving me money in the next 56 years.
• 14:58
  We are you going to be you spent all that money doing your
• 15:03
  Masters but the job you're doing does not even tally with robots.
• 15:09
  You studied, why don't you then make a plan, make a plan before
• 15:15
  you come into this country or into any other country.
• 15:18
  Look at the sectors of that economic No me that people are
• 15:22
  lacking that they require people do those courses, they will even
• 15:26
  give you jobs right from where you are.
• 15:29
  Before you even come into the country, you will hit the ground
• 15:32
  running because you already have a job in one month's time.
• 15:35
  Your salary will be your accounts.
• 15:37
  If they are paid monthly or some of them are paid weekly and then
• 15:42
  you're just going to struggle for that one month.
• 15:44
  And then the next month you? Okay, you can rent your house,
• 15:47
  you can do you can't even no more life.
• 15:50
  Is going to take you, maybe 34 years to make that plan, to put
• 15:56
  that plan in place for most people.
• 15:58
  They when they just wake up in the morning and say, I want to
• 16:01
  travel, they want to travel the next day without even thinking,
• 16:06
  that's okay. What am I even going to do
• 16:09
  there? The end goal is not just to
• 16:11
  travel. The end goal is not just to get
• 16:13
  your visa, do Thanksgiving a live, where you are, you have to
• 16:18
  be able to ask yourself what? Am I going to do in this place?
• 16:23
  How am I going to fit in? What is, what is that thing that
• 16:28
  is required of me? People are deported every day,
• 16:34
  people are. If you go on Twitter, there are
• 16:37
  so many people begging for flight.
• 16:39
  Tickets to come back to Nigeria. And these are people that have
• 16:43
  lived in these countries for four five, six, seven years, and
• 16:47
  it can't even afford flight ticket to be Ported.
• 16:52
  They can't even afford these things.
• 16:54
  Those people. If you had told them do nothing
• 16:58
  for three years, do your qualification exam getting a job
• 17:02
  before you travel. The tell you are 34 years.
• 17:05
  That's a very long time for me too.
• 17:08
  I don't want no sin. They will tell you, I don't want
• 17:11
  this. No, I cannot do this produced, a
• 17:14
  come here and they will do care. They will pay all this money to
• 17:18
  disqualifications and they can't even Working those field because
• 17:22
  they don't have experience. They cannot use computers
• 17:26
  developed countries, going to want that.
• 17:27
  Your comedy writing on paper, these people have zero computer
• 17:30
  skills and then you talk is help yourself so that they believe
• 17:37
  will help yourself. It seems as if you just you just
• 17:40
  ranting. If you do, you don't want, like
• 17:43
  I don't get it, I don't get it, he's just crazy, a whole lot of
• 17:49
  youths. And then, when they come back
• 17:52
  after spending five, six years, they are needs them.
• 17:55
  Some of this will don't even want to come back because they
• 17:58
  feel like, okay, they spent five six years, they are made already
• 18:01
  ahead of them. They are means have already
• 18:04
  quali gotten a degree. Some of them master's degree.
• 18:08
  They already working or some of them are very lengthy skill,
• 18:11
  lengthy trade and they are doing one or two things and you you're
• 18:14
  just don't even have any of these things you don't have.
• 18:18
  You don't have any skills. So Coming back home with no
• 18:21
  money, no skills, nothing. Most of these people would
• 18:25
  rather just die in detention that.
• 18:29
  Come back to Nigeria to start afresh.
• 18:34
  It is sad. It is sad, I don't know.
• 18:39
  The longer short story is we see everyday people traveling, like
• 18:44
  the UK and they're looking for Nigerian teachers like Africa
• 18:47
  and teachers they are looking for teachers basically.
• 18:50
  Only because of the whole situation in the u.k. right now,
• 18:53
  there are strikes Left, Right Center, they are looking for
• 18:57
  skilled workers. Somebody now back home, they've
• 19:02
  gone to school. If you tell them, now, do some
• 19:06
  qualification that in the next, maybe one or two years, it went
• 19:11
  to qualify and coming as his teacher.
• 19:14
  They will tell you. No, I want to go and do Masters.
• 19:18
  It is Masters. I want to do.
• 19:20
  This is my and you comp pay all that money, do your Masters and
• 19:24
  then you cannot get a job. You cannot get to enjoy because
• 19:28
  you cannot Practice What You've Done.
• 19:29
  Tell them. Okay, after your Masters go and
• 19:32
  do maybe internship to tell you. How much are they paying for
• 19:35
  internship? After I paid all this money to
• 19:38
  do Masters. I cannot want to internship.
• 19:40
  I'd rather go out to support work.
• 19:42
  I rather want to take a walk. Okay, you're doing the care work
• 19:46
  in the next five or six years, you're still in that cable.
• 19:50
  What is the purpose of your Masters paying for your master's
• 19:54
  degree? That 56 years?
• 19:57
  If you had taken that time out to do a qualification that you
• 20:02
  get a job straight, you are hitting the ground running.
• 20:06
  That's already place you above average, people think we're just
• 20:10
  getting the Visa is you have you thought about how you're going
• 20:13
  to be renewing those visas. Have you thought about it?
• 20:17
  It's, it's I just want those students who think if you have a
• 20:24
  family member that is about to travel and you ask them, what is
• 20:28
  their goal and they said they want to make money.
• 20:32
  Yeah, our goal is just horrible sit down PC that person sit down
• 20:37
  if you if you have advice that person and they are not
• 20:39
  listening just sedan. They look not dog named sedan.
• 20:44
  They look like a dog named sit down.
• 20:47
  Look at a person. Just allow them.
• 20:49
  Just keep looking. Some of these people will not
• 20:51
  even listen to advice know. They can.
• 20:55
  Do you think, you, you are not smart enough because they happen
• 21:00
  to, you doesn't mean it's not. It's going to happen to me.
• 21:03
  You are not clever enough. That was why it happened to you.
• 21:07
  You are not smart enough. That was why it took you that
• 21:10
  long to get your own me. I am just going to get my own
