I am not supporting any nonsense from anyone abroad, but let's stop seeing them as demigods.

This is actually true.

Lool it's a Nigerian thing, ordinary Island people dey live we mainlanders no dey hear word. You are talking of abroad loun loun.

No let anybody for abroad use you do yanga. 50% of Nigerians outside the country are doing blue collar jobs they will not do at home.
This Japa thing one has to be careful o. Europe is getting risky. If fullout war with Russia start, dem go give una gun to fight war o.

yeah many that moved there legitimately start on blue collar jobs but they do not remain there. It's like starting life from scratch. You shouldn't expect something too far from that. The good thing is that with that blue collar job you probably look down on, they are able to meet their bills and engage in projects that if they had stayed back in nigeria, wouldn't have been able to.
Yeah it is degrading in the Nigerian context to do those kind of jobs and that's also why those sets of persons are treated poorly by many back home, but over here, there's dignity in whatever you choose to do even in those jobs. If someone that moved abroad seems proud, it is either you are misinterpreting things wrongly or they have always been proud.

Bro na abroad I follow dey. I believe in dignity in labour. But make some of us for here no dey feel like demigods because we don step out of the shores. Being in a different location doesn't make you greater than others.

they have always been proud before moving here. coming here doesn't make one proud but rather, the reverse should be the case because you realize that there's nothing so special about you and that status isn't a permanent thing and that it could change and hence you should be mindful in treating people right irrespective of their status
