Nigerian rapper, Blaqbonez has claimed that no successful person wants to spend their retirement in Nigeria.
The rapper, whose real name is Emeka Akumefule, made the remarks during an appearance on The Zeze Millz Show, where he described Nigeria as “hectic” and said travelling abroad had shown him how much the country needed to improve.
“Nigeria is hectic, but it is still home. When you go to other countries, you will realise how far we are from where we should be,” he said.
Speaking about his retirement plans, Blaqbonez said he struggled to imagine successful people choosing to remain in Nigeria after leaving active work.
“I don’t think that there is any successful person who wants to live in Nigeria after retirement. Maybe there are some people,” he said.
He added that his personal retirement dream was to live on a large ranch and raise animals, a lifestyle he said he did not associate with Nigeria.
