Award-winning Nollywood actor, Wale Ojo has addressed Nigerians relocating overseas, revealing his vision for Nigeria.
The actor revealed his aspirations for Nigeria in an interview with ThisDay, stating that even though he spent a lot of years abroad his love for Nigeria has never wavered.
Ojo stressed that even though Nigeria has many issues, he intends to be a part of the solution so that the Nigeria of his vision comes to fruition.
He said: "I have a lot of aspirations. Over the years it would have been extremely easy for me not to come to Nigeria at all. I could easily have stayed in the United States, or United Kingdom, Germany, or even Russia. And I know I would have been okay doing what I do there. But I love Nigeria, and I will always love Nigeria no matter what,"
Ojo emphasized his views on the japa trend in Nigeria, stressing that to him the mentality is embarrassing.
"And I have a lot of visions for Nigeria. And that vision is one that encompasses a country where everybody doesn’t want to ‘japa’. The ‘japa’ mentality I think is embarrassing. I think it’s unfortunate, you know where doctors think they go and do their stuff elsewhere and whereas when I go to the United States or go anywhere, Nigerians are applauded for their ingenuity,
