Tired of working abroad? You’re not alone. Every day, thousands of Nigerians in the diaspora are silently battling emotional burnout, fatigue, and frustration from years of non-stop hustle in foreign countries. In the viral clip above, a Nigerian lady vents her exhaustion and wonders how much longer she has to work in Canada before she can build a house back home in Nigeria. Her question hits hard: “Abeg, how many years I go work for this abroad before I fit build my first house for Nigeria?”
This sentiment resonates with many Africans who relocate abroad seeking greener pastures, only to find themselves trapped in a relentless grind. With bills, rent, taxes, and daily responsibilities piling up, saving for long-term goals like building a house becomes a daunting challenge.
Being tired of working abroad is not weakness—it’s a cry for balance, better systems, and recognition of the sacrifices made. It’s time to talk openly about it and seek solutions that help our people thrive, not just survive.
