I Rather Be A Tree in The UK Than Be A Human Being In Nigeria – George El Sali

A Nigerian doctor shared how his six-month salary in the UK surpassed his total earnings from seven years of hard work in Nigeria. While many discussed the reality of better opportunities abroad, one Facebook personality responded bitterly, saying, “I rather be a tree in the UK or US than be a human being in Nigeria.” This statement reflects frustration but also deep hopelessness. Though Nigeria faces many challenges, completely condemning the nation only discourages progress. Instead of giving up on the country, people should channel their energy into demanding accountability, creating opportunities, and believing that meaningful change is still possible.
