A UK-Based Nigerian YouTube content creator, Emdee Tiamiyu has been trending across social media for a controversial interview he did with a UK Press where he claimed that Nigerians use education and Studying Abroad as an escape route to run away from their continent.

 

Emdee granted the interview just after UK’s Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, announced a ban on Nigerians and other international students bringing family members to the country during their Masters programme.

 

Speaking to the BBC after the announcement of the ban, Tiamiyu claimed that most Nigerians easily lose focus while schooling in the UK because they use Masters as an access route to gain entry into the country.

 

Tiamiyu, an Osun indigene who is also a migrant in the country, insinuated that Nigerians are not being truthful on why they school in the UK.

 

He has been called out by several Nigerians who insisted that his comments were one sided as he failed to mention the positive contributions Nigerians make to the UK economy under Education.

 

A gazillion countries will be doing same thing, only Nigerians will be lousy and loudest about it. I never see this kyn thing with any other group before.
What is wrong with you people??? https://t.co/1nDzlZJD2X
