Nigerian Leaders Destroyed Everything; JAPA NOW! He Built a 4,000 Nigerians Community😶🌍 | TBAY EP 7

He spent over a decade working at one of Nigeria’s biggest banks. He had a career. A salary. A life that made sense. And then he left it all behind. He came to Edinburgh as a student and found something that changed everything; Nigerians were arriving in this city with nobody to call, nowhere to turn and no community to catch them when things got hard. So in 2021 Henry Gbadega built one. Twenty people sitting together trying to feel at home. That was how it started. Today that same community has over 4,000 members. They have done events at Portobello Beach. They are running the Windrush programme this month. And they are still growing. But the moment that stopped us completely in that studio was when Henry looked into the camera and said something that every Nigerian at home and abroad needs to hear right now. He said Nigerian leaders have destroyed everything. He said japa now. And he said if the UK is not working for you Japada - go back. No shame. No failure. Just honesty. His words. Not ours. This is one of the most important and most honest conversations The Bridge and You has ever had. And you need to hear all of it.
