It’s modern slavery- Dolapo Lawal speaks on migration from Nigeria

Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal has spoken on the topic of relocation, claiming that most Nigerians working abroad are participating in modern day slavery.

The televangelist, while speaking during a sermon, explained that a large number of migrants take up caregiving and other demanding jobs abroad just to make ends meet.

He stated that it is easier to become a billionaire in Nigeria than abroad, stressing that Nigerians leave the country to survive and not to make wealth.

“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires. They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive. Your ambition is to go and join them. It’s modern slavery. I know people that sold their properties to go and rent properties abroad. Are you thinking? What are you doing? Instead of you to see how you can get something from God. That thing called light. You start pointing that thing on your lips and allowing God start to connect you to meet people and going the right places. A lot of people there are not sending money because they’re selfish. They don’t have it. All the billionaires I’ve met, in my life are here. This is the easiest place to be a billionaire. Be wise…” he said.
