A Nigerian man has stirred online reactions after pleading with the U.S. government to deport his uncle, claiming the man has not contributed anything meaningful to his life. His unusual request, shared on X (formerly Twitter), quickly gained traction as social media users reacted with amusement and criticism.
In his post, the man expressed frustration over his uncle’s lack of impact, writing in Pidgin, “Abeg, U.S. government, I get one uncle for U.S. wey never add any value to my life. Abeg, make una deport am come Nigeria.” His statement sparked mixed reactions, with some finding it hilarious and others questioning his sense of entitlement.
As the post continued to trend, many weighed in on the expectations some Nigerians place on relatives abroad. While some sympathized with him, others reminded him that people travel abroad to improve their own lives, not to serve as automatic benefactors.
