She said: “So you can’t stop migration, legal or illegal. But let’s reduce the temptation to go and get into a tougher place.”
“Don’t leave for what you call a greener pasture to what I call a ‘reder’ pasture,” she added.
“Where you are going to, ensure you have a job; somebody who is going to look after you.”
INFORMATION NIGERIA reports that many Nigerians have developed the habit of ‘Japa Syndrome,’ a means of escaping from their country for a better place.
