An aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Tolu Ogunlesi says the mass emigration of Nigerians abroad shouldn’t be equated with an apocalypse as people are only taking advantage of immigration opportunities to move abroad.

Ogunless ssaid this in a series of tweets on his official and verified twitter handle in reply to a tweet by the founder of Online printing platform, Printivo, Oluyomi Ojo, lamenting mass immigration of Nigerians abroad.

Ojo had said, “A friend pinged me with a +1 number today. He’s gone too. A business I know is shutting down, founder is moving with is family. Someone tried to sell me a generator (100KVA). He’s selling everything off and moving too. These are dark days.”

But Ogunlesi in his reply said people are relocating in significant numbers to Canada & elsewhere from countries that are much more prosperous than Nigeria – China for eg.

He said, “I find it genuinely puzzling how people taking advantage of immigration opportunities to move abroad has come to be equated with “dark days” or an apocalypse. There’s nothing apocalyptic about it. People will always move in response to perceived better opportunities.”

“People are relocating in significant numbers to Canada & elsewhere from countries that are much more prosperous than Nigeria – China for eg. Let’s quit this apocalyptic outlook. People will always migrate in search of a better life, new opportunities, a 2nd passport, etc.”

Tolu is a bastard

Idiot! And his zombie mindset didnt stir up his worry why the inhabitants of these so "prosperous nations with emigration opportunities" are not even interested in coming over to Nigeria.

This man have forgotten that Nigerians are even committing suicide, taken to drugs/crime(tho'gh unjustified), abandoning responsibilities etc because of the widespread unprecedented hardship being inflicted on them by the oppressive & repressive APC govt.

Nigerians are emigrating because they have lost hope in this nation & the leaders.Meanwhile, what is this gay sai baba zombie doing outside the country if his demigod have made it honey on earth?

May thunder destroy your family for joking with lives

People have the right to migrate

Tolu will most likely have dual citizenship or valid visas for multiple countries in his passport.

Stop talking what you don't know or never experience before.....have you seen poverty or tasted suffering before? if anyone wants to migrate, its their choice and business so long as he has the budget to finance the trip..no wahala
instead advice they stay off from crime and be a good citizen of naija!
