A young Nigerian lady who left her country for Burkina Faso has sent an important message to Nigerians desperate to japa.
In a viral video on social media, she captured a terrible road which, according to her, is a street in Burkina Faso.
She warned those planning to japa to Burkina Faso that the country is not London, where they expect to see beautiful roads and houses.
Speaking in the video, she said: “You want to come to Burkina Faso, you want to come to Burkina Faso? Better keep it in mind that this is not London, this is not America. Can you bear this shame?”
Flipping her phone camera, she showed how deplorable the road was, stressing that it was the road leading to her house.
She also sent a special message to those calling her to connect them for japa to Burkina Faso, asking if they could cope.
However, the video has sparked numerous reactions online as netizens shared their views.
