Are those abroad widening the class divide back home?

The scene played in Nigeria during the vacation may be in the movie. The emotional reunion of the airport terminal, the flowing champagne and A-list Afrobeats performers are performers who dominate the stages of the nationwide.

This is when Nigeria’s overseas returns to visit his home country. They have just returned (IJGB) and have nicknames and brought more than their entire travel bags.

Their western accents fall into the inside and outside pidgin, the wallet is increased by the exchange rate, and their presence supplies the economy to the economy.

But it also emphasizes the uncomfortable truth.

Those who live in Naira, who live in Nigeria, feel closed in their cities in their cities, especially the rich man in Lagos and the capital.

Residents say that this is the case of “Detty December,” which is especially used to recommend Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.

Detty December is a radio speaker headquartered in Lagos, according to the BBC, traffic almost meaningless to locals.

The public media personality has been requested not to be nominated so that it can express controversial opinions.

However, he is not the only person who takes this view, and he is pouring out as Easter and Diaspora’s summer vacation season is approaching, regardless of whether IJGBS is helping to divide Nigeria’s class.

“Nigeria is a very classist. Ironically, we are a little foolish because we are a poor country.” Radio presenter adds.

“The difference is huge. We are almost the same as the world.”

It is true that Nigeria, which is rich in oil, is one of Africa’s largest economy and the most populated country in the continent, but more than 220 million citizens face great challenges and limited opportunities.

At the beginning of the year The charity organization Oxfam warned The difference between Nigeria was reaching the “crisis level”.

The statistics of 2023 are amazing.

According to the world’s inequality database, more than 10% of the population owns more than 60% of the Nigerian wealth. For people with occupations, 10%of the population accounted for 42%of their income.

The World Bank says the number of people living under the poverty is 87 million. “The second largest population in the world after India“.

Martins Ifeanacho, a sociology professor at the University of Port Harcourt, said that the gap between the Nigeria and the division of classes has grown since the independence of Nigeria in 1960.

After returning to Nigeria after studying in Ireland in the 1990s, the academic community told the BBC that “we had a lot of economic difficulties.”

He refers to the greed of people in the position of political power with his fingers. It is at the federal or main level.

“We have a political elite based on the calculation of how to gain power for the purpose of capturing more power.

“There are many difficulties because ordinary people are out of equation.”

But it’s not about the money of the bank account.

The actual or recognized wealth can indicate access, status and opportunities, and the presence of diaspora can expand the division of class.

Radio speaker said, “Nigeria’s class system is not about money, but about perception.

He shows how important it is to go out of meals and how important it is.

In the restaurant, people who arrive at Range Rovers are quickly attending, while Kia’s people can be ignored, the radio presenter says.

Social mobility is difficult when the wealth of the state remains in a small elite.

For many Nigerians, the only realistic way of life is to leave.

The World Bank suppresses the absorption of 3.5 million Nigerians every year, criticizing “creation of weak jobs and entrepreneurship prospects.”

“Many workers find a better opportunity and choose immigration.”

Since the 1980s, the middle class Nigerians have found opportunities abroad, but in recent years, the emergency has been strengthened, especially between the Z and Millennium generation.

This massive exodus was called “JAPA”, the word luba word, which means “escape.”

2022 Survey I found that it would be transferred if more than 70% of young Nigerians were possible.

But it’s not simple to leave for many people. Overseas study, the most common path, can cost tens of thousands of dollars, including travel, accommodation and visa expenses.

Lulu OkWara, a 28 -year -old recruitment officer, said, “JAPA creates this culture that people want to leave this country now.

She went to England to study finance in 2021 and is one of the IJGBS and returned to Nigeria at least three times since his move.

Okwara pointed out that in Nigeria, there is a pressure to succeed. A culture that is expected to achieve.

She told the BBC, “There is no success or nothing.” “There is no room for failure.”

This deep inherent feeling makes people feel that they should do anything to succeed.

Especially for people from more working class backgrounds. IJGBS has the point to prove.

Professor Ifeanacho said, “When people go there, their dreams must always return to the hero in Christmas or other festivals.

“You come back home and mix with people you missed for a long time.

“The type of illusion that the children that they will run to you will give you to you are what you love and cherish.”

Success is pursued at all costs, and foreign accents can help to climb Nigeria’s social ladders even if they are not abroad.

Professor Ifeanacho said, “People grant fake accents so that they can access them.

He recalls the story of a pastor who preached on the radio every Sunday.

“When they said that they did not leave Nigeria, I said,” No, it’s impossible. “

The accents of the United States and the United Kingdom are especially a different kind of currency and smoothing paths, especially in professional and social environments.

According to a push back to social media, some IJGBs are all inatours. You can wrap the return hero chief, but in reality it lacks financial influence.

Bizzle Osikoya, the owner of Plug Entertainment, a business that hosts live music events in Seo Africa, has found some problems that reflect this.

He told the BBC about how many IJGBs attended his event, but who tried to get back the money.

“They went back to the United States and Canada and had a dispute about paying,” he said.

This can reflect the desperate efforts to maintain the appearance of success in a society where all wealth marks are closely investigated.

In Nigeria, the performance seems to be the core.
