Peter Ayeni, a UK-based Nigerian man, has highlighted 14 reasons he left Nigeria to restart life abroad. In a Facebook post which has been met with mixed reactions, Peter opened up about the issues that influenced his relocation. According to Peter, one of the reasons he left Nigeria was that he could not be a lap dog to politicians, or pad contracts, or collect grants for problems that don't exist. Other reasons for relocating, which Peter shared, included that he couldn't pay for expensive healthcare in Nigeria, and his child's life would still be put in danger. "I can't pay for expensive healthcare and my child life is put in danger, "I don't believe god loves me more than my neighbour. "You see that No 9, I will never do it again in this life. Something that common sense and a serious governance can fix in 1yr, disturbing God for what He already gave you resources to fix." Jude Barry Sunday said: "Peter don see the light, see as him neck long give peter few months make peter come share him experience." Gbopemi Oyediran said: "I can't continue to allow Lagos state task force drag me out of my vehicle everyday at Oshodi under bridge." "It didn't work for you here but alot are making it here." Femi Ogunshola said: "Not all Nigerians are doing this Peter. There are Nigerians I know doing great without having to do all of these, leaving Nigeria was a choice for you laced with opportunity." The UK immigrant, known on TikTok as @ijowest, said he did it for his own sake. He said his children would find their path, just as he did, irrespective of where they were born. @ijowest further said he can't pressure himself to fulfil his children's destiny, which he has no idea about how it would play out.
