Nigerian pharmacist and Disability Rights advocate, Blessing Mary Ocheido has called out people who discourage others from leaving when they have alternative plans of their own.

Taking to her Facebook account, she warned people to ignore those telling others to stay and fix the country because they may be planning to relocate with their families.

She wrote;

“Are we ready to talk about this? People who actively discourage others from leaving the country while working behind the scenes to move themselves and their families abroad
Talk about how people should stay back and fix the country, how there?s wealth to be tapped or how difficult it is to survive overseas but less than one year later, they are sharing their jakpa pictures.
I know someone who had gone as far as booking his flight ticket after securing his ITA but was posting on social media about staying back to repair Nigeria. Why do people do this exactly? It never ceases to amaze me.
I just hope that people are learning to make such decisions for themselves not because of some faux words of wisdom they happen upon on social media or from friends and family.”
