Big Brother Naija star Elozonam has revealed how the “japa” wave has strained his closest relationships. Speaking on the Uncolored podcast, the reality star shared how his twin brother and siblings relocating abroad created a gap in their once-strong bond.
According to Elozonam, the economic struggles in Nigeria make it hard to blame anyone for leaving, but the impact is undeniable. “The distance has changed everything,” he said, noting how their connection isn’t the same despite their best efforts.
This trend has also made him wary of forming new friendships in Nigeria. With so many people planning to leave, Elozonam questions the point of building relationships that might soon fade due to relocation.
The reality star’s experience highlights a painful side of Nigeria’s ongoing migration trend. While many leave in search of a better life, those left behind often feel the weight of broken bonds and empty spaces where loved ones used to be.
