Former Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate Uriel Oputa has revealed that being a British citizen is her greatest blessing in life.
The reality star stated this in response to skit maker OGB Recent’s advice for non-millionaire Nigerians.
OGB Recent had over the weekend revealed that those who haven’t made it in life financially shouldn’t be sleeping at night.
In response to his remarks, Uriel conveyed her delight in being both a Nigerian and a British citizen.
Uriel also said that being half-British is a blessing because Nigerians have an innate tendency to pressure others until they begin to question their beliefs.
She expressed her views on the tendency of many Nigerians to stereotype and categorize individuals.
She encouraged them to travel more for broader exposure and a diversified perspective, cautioning against narrow-mindedness.
Uriel wrote: “My biggest blessing is being part British. Some Nigerians will squeeze you until no self belief. They thrive in placing individuals into categories and Stereotypes. You can’t do this because……. Nigeria is one place where potential Billionaires have been subjected into Not following their heads But trends. I will always advise one To travel You are more than you Think.”
While sharing OGB Recent’s statement in another post, she wrote: “My point exactly about Nigeria If you listen to people like you are messed up.”
