In a post shared on X, the former on-air personality slammed the people fond of discouraging others, telling them to keep their advice to themselves.

If you japaed, stop advising people on why they should not come over. If you haven’t moved back to Nigeria; you still live there, pls shut up. U are not qualified to discourage pple who want to follow the same path. Keep your advice to yourself. If e too hard, come back. Let others try.

A particular X user replied Do2dtun: “Show me anybody that Japaed that is fixated on "Don't come Over this + that" & I will show a very wicked Nigeria that was probably extremely evil while they were here.”

Leave Nigeria alone. We all know it is bad. If you want to go, go. You believe it’s a better place for you but when you advise people who want to come not to come and discourage them then that’s witchcraft. You are there but advising people not to come makes no sense. https://t.co/ZLDYYtvKOr
