Uriel Oputa, a former Big Brother Naija star, said that being born a British citizen is the best thing that ever happened to her.
The 36-year-old YouTuber made this statement in response to skit creator, OGB Recent’s counsel to Nigerians who are not wealthy.
OGB Recent claimed that individuals who don’t have millions of naira in their bank account shouldn’t be sleeping at the end of the day because it is an indication that they are not ready to be successful in life.
He wrote ; “You no get 6 figures for account you dey sleep for night, you never ready make am. May God bless all our efforts and crown them with success today.”
According to Uriel, Nigerians have a natural ability to place pressure on others until their opinions begin to falter.
The reality personality from Imo noted how common it is for Nigerians to categorize and make generalizations about others.
She urged individuals to travel more to have more exposure and a wider range of perspectives.
Reposting OGB Recent’s tweet, she wrote:
“ My point exactly about Nigeria, if you listen to people like you are messed up. 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 heads but trends. I will always advise one to travel, you are more than you think.”
