”Nigeria youths are becoming too desperate to travel abroad in search of greener pastures. Most of them do not have ordinary primary school certificates to show.
“They prefer to go and start working in factories and subject themselves to hard labor and other menial jobs.
“Ensure you pursue your certificate programs in Nigeria before dreaming of travelling abroad. Travelling abroad does not guarantee success if you fail to plan yourself.
“Stop being desperate to go and become a second class citizen abroad, you can also make it in Nigeria,” he said.
