To be sincere, some travelled and they've got nothing out of it, just like the kofis poem that says the traveller's are back and all covered with debt..

While some are here and they've experienced total positive change

It depends on your skill, your motive and your fate

But overall, I won't lie traveling to a saner country beats sitting at home with 9ja minimum wage

Shalom
