Japa: Reactions as Nigerian YouTuber says Nigerians see UK student visa as avenue for greener pastures
Nigerian YouTuber and ‘Japa’ coach, Emdee Tiamiyu, has faced a lot of backlash over his comment about Nigerian students studying in the United Kingdom in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Tiamiyu, who is known for advising Nigerians on studying in the United Kingdom, claimed that many of them were not looking for new qualifications, but to start a new life abroad.

This is Emdee Tiamiyu on his way to UK in September 2022. He entered the UK with same dependent route on September 2022. Less than 9 months after he entered UK, he closed the boarder against his kinsmen and lineage with his mouth. pic.twitter.com/zAZZXY9TEh

Dear Nigerians in UK , Emdee Tiamiyu is less than 1 year in the UK . I doubt he even has N.I number.. You know his full name. You have seen his front view, aerial view, side view and back view. If he is not deported back to Nigeria by September 2023 na Una I go blame. pic.twitter.com/SGXrb9dT9o

Emdee Tiamiyu is a m!ndless clown. Nigerians are already being stigmatized, our country has a negative image but instead of correcting the wrong perceptions he deliberately threw Nigerians under the bus for views & cheap clout. Ignorance is a disease. Hope karma visits him soon.

This is Emdee Tiamiyu, a Yoruba man from Osun State. This is the man that has destroyed the hope of millions of young Nigerians in this generation and generation unborn by revealing the means they use to escape poverty, oppression and hardship in Nigeria. He is domiciled in UK pic.twitter.com/9sRWMhV5DD

Nigerians are always too loud anywhere they find themselves. The UK already know about those things but must they hear it from you? Shoboloyoke
Some of you are even dragging the Emdee Tiamiyu guy but you are on Twitter as well advertising Proof of Fund. Iru iro niborun.

The BBC needed Emdee Tiamiyu to provide content to support a certain narrative that will be ‘sold’ to the British public. Nothing he said is new to the Home Office. No one in Nigeria ?? should be worried about how this will affect them. It won’t affect you. They needed this…

Breaking News: A renowned failed YouTuber and a Ghanaian claiming to be a Nigerian by name "Emdee Tiamiyu" has set a new world record of being the dullest person to be alive. Congratulations bro? pic.twitter.com/SBVeinTbqe

Emdee Tiamiyu case has shown me why making friends with Nigerians in the UK is a recipe for disaster.
My 9ja colleague reported me to my then boss and said I wanted to steal his staff and take them elsewhere.
Shey if I get another place to work I go still dey here with you? ?
