My neighbour a Nigerian was in pains in this Scotland and ambulance arrived and took her to the hospital. For those shouting if you have 30m naira and use it to relocate, you are mumu. Who is the mumu now? Wisdom is profitable to direct.

THIS IS WHY TRAVELLING OUT OF NIGERIA IS NOT LUXURY IT IS SURVIVAL

Anthony Joshua was born and raised in the United Kingdom.
A British citizen who has always proudly claimed his Nigerian roots.

Despite his wealth, global connections, influence and access, Nigeria still happened to him.
And sadly, it didn’t stop with him, two of his close friends, who weren’t even Nigerians, lost their lives on Nigerian soil.

That alone should humble anyone still shouting, “Nigeria is the best place to live if you have money.”

Some of the roads in Nigeria are death traps.
Emergency response is almost nonexistent.
Ambulance services are either unavailable or arrive too late.
And many first responders don’t even know what to do in a crisis.

I’ve seen this incompetence firsthand.

When my in-law slumped in public, surrounded by people, nobody attempted CPR.
Nobody tried life-saving measures.
People were busy recording videos and looking for angles.
By the time he got to the hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Till today, I still ask myself…
What if?
What if he had been handled differently?
What if basic emergency care existed?
He might still be alive.

This is why I will always say it, at least travel to a developed country once in your lifetime.
Not to run Nigeria down.
But to understand how human life is valued.
To see what functioning systems look like.
To realise that the bare minimum we accept back home is not normal.

Nigeria is not being “painted in a bad light.”
Nigeria is waving a red flag, loudly, to anyone paying attention.

And if you’re a young person reading this, do not let shame, mockery or misplaced patriotism cage your future.
If you can travel, travel.
If you can give your children access to a second country, do it.

Because when systems fail, money, fame and connections don’t always save you.
And in Nigeria, too many deaths are not natural they are avoidable.

A prayer point we should all take seriously is this:
May Nigeria never happen to you.

My joy each time I see sunshine 🌻 in Scotland. I open the windows and enjoy the sunshine. I don't want to hear that I lack vitamin kini?

On my way to Newport yesterday, I got a beautiful view of the Tay river.

Why do some women think that a man is meant to pay their bills. Agbajiri gi aka? You can make money too and pay your bills. This is the reason many are stuck in toxic marriages and relationships. Ladies like this, please change your mindset this 2026. Work hard and smart and earn your money. Stop treating relationships as poverty alleviation program.

Stop the scam and laziness! A man meets you today and tomorrow is your birthday. Different story each day to get money from the man. Your rent has expired, your Dad is sick, your dress is with tailor, gas has finished and your data too. Haba! Stop! Quit!

This 2026, onye O bula je chuwa ego, ma nwoke, ma nwanyi.

I really don't like hearing marriage is hard. Marriage is hard work and not hard. Work hard on it and enjoy the bliss.
Marriage is pure Bliss for those wey get sense wey marry those wey get sense and Dem dey fear God. Marital wisdom is essential for a good marriage. Pride, foolishness and no fear of God is the main problem of marriages. Take them out of the way and see heaven on earth.

Welcome to Scotland, where a cup of tea solves most of the problems. Will you like a cup of tea?

I lost interest in buying clothes abroad because all the fine clothes are covered by winter jacket most of the time. Even some jobs have dress codes. From scrubs to company tshirts, black trousers and black shoes, O dikwa somehow. Even the summer is in a hurry.

The wisdom in travel

There is an Igbo adage that says, 'the person who travels is wiser than the one with grey hair'. I spent the first 18 years of my life at Onitsha in Anambra state, Nigeria. I grew up in the midst of patriarchal men who believe that it's a man's world. I saw men who killed their wives potentials because they have money to provide for the family. The women stayed home to nurture the children, clean and cook. I didn't like Anambra people 🤣🤣🤣, this cracked me up because I later married an Anambra man. I didn't like the fact that they called us 'wawa people' and felt like they are wiser than us. I had wrong notions about Yoruba and Hausa people. During my prep lessons for WAEC, I made friend with this Yoruba girl and was despised for it.

Later, I traveled to Kaduna and those wrong stereotypes about people and their tribe began to change. I saw very neat Yoruba people and very brilliant Hausa people, contrary to what I was made to believe. I realised that not all in the North are 'Ndi Awusa'. There are many tribes in Nigeria; Idoma, Igala, Igede, Gbagyi etc. I spent years in Abuja and met good and bad people from various tribes and religion.

I traveled to the USA and met people and learned more about Haitians, Jamaicans, Spanish and the Americans. I didn't spend much time in Germany but I met a good man, former soldiers who was still mourning his beloved wife after years of her demise. France and Dubai didn't teach me much because I didn't spend much time. I still met my Igbo brother who took me to where to buy stuff cheap at Dubai and took a shoe for himself without asking me first.

Now in Scotland, I have the best colleagues that I ever had. The only black person in my unit and my line manager and all my colleagues treat me so well.

In conclusion, travel will change your mindset about people and stop you from stereotyping people. People are good/bad not because of where they are from but because they chose that path.
