Ugezu J. Ugezu Shares Shocking Story of Nigerian Doctor Who Became a Butcher in the US

Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Ugezu J. Ugezu, has sparked fresh conversations around the ‘Japa’ trend after sharing a sobering account of a Nigerian doctor who abandoned his thriving medical practice to relocate abroad, only to end up working as a butcher.

Taking to his Instagram page, Ugezu cautioned Nigerians eager to emigrate in search of greener pastures to properly evaluate their decisions. He revealed that a once-practicing medical doctor sold his clinic in Nigeria and relocated to the United States with high hopes, but is now employed in a meat shop, cutting meat and avoiding fellow Nigerians to escape embarrassment.

“In the name of JAPA, a practicing medical doctor in Nigeria sold his clinic and relocated to the US. Finally, he is now in a US city. Guess what? He now works as a butcher in a meat shop, hiding from Nigerians to avoid being noticed… FOR HOW LONG? A lot of things are not really the way they appear. BE GUIDED,” Ugezu wrote.

The post has since gone viral, drawing mixed reactions from social media users.

@gabrieljerry3644 asked: “The question is how much is he making in Nigeria as a doctor? And how much is he making as a butcher in the US?”

@ikenna_donald_ekwuibe wrote: “He can be getting twice of what he was getting in Nigeria as a medical doctor. Las las, na the money wey matter.”

@olanrewajuzion7 added: “At least he can travel from state to state without the fear of being kidnapped or unalived by bandits.”

However, others agreed with Ugezu’s concerns, with @black__choco77 saying: “This is why you remain my favorite actor. It’s a fact. If I had known, I wouldn’t have even left Naija. A lot of anxiety and depression here.”
