Nigerian music icon Davido has shared his perspective on the increasing trend of Nigerians, particularly from the upper and middle classes, choosing to have their children born overseas.
Speaking on The Morning Hustle podcast, the award-winning artist compared the practice to securing an “insurance policy” for the child’s future, emphasizing the numerous long-term advantages tied to foreign births.
Davido highlighted key benefits, including access to better healthcare, superior education, visa-free travel, and the privilege of foreign citizenship.
“Giving birth abroad is a common trend among Nigerians. Apart from having better [medical] facilities overseas, people want to have their kids abroad to save them the hassle of applying for visas,” he noted.
