Why Africans abroad won't tell you their reality - Seun Kuti

Nigerian singer and activist Seun Kuti has slammed Africans living abroad over what he calls 'an unwritten rule' whereby they don't discuss the realities of living abroad. Speaking during a recent Instagram live session, Seun claimed that many Africans who have relocated to pursue "greener pastures" often conceal the true challenges of their day-to-day lives from those back home. "There is no single African who has Japa that can come and tell you that what I'm about to say is a lie. There is a silent, non-spoken, non-written agreement between every African who has travelled not to relay his true experience to his people." He explained that if Africans abroad were transparent about their realities abroad, many aspiring migrants might reconsider leaving their home countries.
