Afrobeats star Davido has shed light on the growing trend of Nigerians, particularly the upper and middle class, choosing to have their children born abroad. Speaking on The Morning Hustle podcast, the music icon likened the practice to purchasing an insurance policy for their children’s future.
Davido highlighted that foreign births offer significant advantages, including access to foreign citizenship, better medical facilities, quality education, and reduced visa hassles later in life. “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 explained.
The trend has sparked conversations about opportunities, healthcare, and the lengths many Nigerians go to secure a better future for their children.
