Veteran highlife musician, Bright Chimezie has advised Nigerians to rethink the growing trend of relocating abroad in search of greener pastures, insisting that there are equally valuable opportunities within the country

In a recent interview, He said many Nigerians wrongly assume that life is easier overseas but often end up facing harsh realities when they get there.

“Our problem is right here. We keep helping people over there because we think the grass is greener on the other side. But it’s not,” he said

“I’ve travelled quite a bit & I can tell you there are no more opportunities there. When you get there, you start from the bottom, sometimes even washing toilets just to survive.

He further lamented that colonial influence and the mindset it left behind have made many Nigerians undervalue their own country.

“When the white people came, it affected our mentality & development. If we studied biology & mathematics with the same passion we use to read the Bible, our society would be far better, He added.
