Total of 141,000 Nigerians have migrated to the United Kingdom in the last year, fresh data released by the UK’s government has shown.
The figure released by the Office for the National Statistics came as Nigerians embrace economic migration in what has been famously termed “japa,” a Yoruba word roughly translated to mean “to flee.”
In the data, the UK disclosed that five non-EU nationalities for immigration flow into the British country among which is Nigeria.
