Davido Explains the Motivation Behind Nigerians Giving Birth Abroad

In a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast, Nigerian music sensation Davido shared his thoughts on the growing trend of upper and middle-class Nigerians seeking to give birth abroad. The trend has become increasingly common, with many parents opting for foreign countries when it’s time to welcome their children into the world.

According to Davido, the motivation behind this choice is akin to "buying an insurance policy." He explained that children born abroad automatically gain access to foreign citizenship, better opportunities, high-quality medical care, and top-tier education.

“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 said.

Davido’s take on the subject adds a new layer to the ongoing discussion about the advantages of giving birth in countries with more robust systems for healthcare and education.
