I'll Rather Be A Refugee In Ukraine Than Return To Nigeria — 32-yr-old Okafor
A man, Nnamdi Okafor, has rejected the evacuation of Nigerians in Ukraine by government, stating that he preferred to remain a refugee in the European country.
“What am I coming back to Nigeria to do? Has anything changed in our country,” the 32-year-old from Anambra State, queried.
Okafor, who said he is an economic migrant to Ukraine, disclosed that in a worst case scenario, he would leave Ukraine for any other country but definitely not Nigeria.
Narrating his ordeal in Nigeria, Okafor said, “For now, I am still in Ukraine. I used to live in the capital city, Kyiv, but I have moved to one of the border towns which is relatively safe presently.
“But if the war reaches there, I will escape to another country by the grace of God. But if death becomes my destiny, so be it. I would rather remain here a refugee than return to Nigeria.”
The young man stated this during an interview with TheNiche.
