Migration and travel consultant, Dr. Douglas Kendyson, popularly known as Waka Waka Doctor, has advised Nigerians to avoid desperation and poor planning when considering relocation abroad, cautioning against selling off properties or making hasty life decisions in pursuit of the so-called “greener pastures.”
Speaking on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday, the medical doctor-turned-travel advisor shared personal experiences and urged Nigerians to adopt a realistic, well-researched approach before embarking on migration plans.
“You do not sell your properties with the hope of going somewhere that you’ve never been to,” Kendyson said. “You cannot sell your car, your house, or quit your job with the hope of moving somewhere else and thinking you will find gold. It is not a bed of roses.”

He noted that while relocating can offer better opportunities, many Nigerians are lured by exaggerated promises without understanding the realities of living abroad.
“There is nowhere in the world that has a perfect system,” he said. “If you think that you’re going to come to a country and everything will be perfect, my dear, you’re in for a jolly good ride.”
Emphasising the importance of strategic planning, Kendyson advised prospective migrants to carefully consider their motives and logistics before moving.
“You need to plan. Ask yourself why, where, how, and when you want to move,” he said. “One person should go ahead first to make arrangements for accommodation, schools, and living conditions before the entire family relocates.”
The consultant, who left Nigeria in 2014 for the Middle East due to low pay and poor working conditions, recounted his early migration experience as a medical doctor.
“I never intended to leave Nigeria. I was severely underpaid and overworked,” he revealed. “I found a job opportunity in the Middle East and realised it was possible to live abroad and earn better.”
Kendyson also warned Nigerians to be vigilant against fraudulent travel agents who exploit desperation with false promises of guaranteed visas and employment.
“When someone promises you a guaranteed visa, job, or admission, that’s a red flag,” he cautioned. “If they are not registered or licensed, or if they rush you to pay into personal accounts, that’s a red flag.”
He urged Nigerians to verify travel information through official government websites rather than relying on social media influencers who may have no real migration experience.
In a lighter but serious tone, he advised against relocating to unstable or unsafe countries. “When you hear countries like Albania, Kazakhstan, or any country ending with ‘-stan’, please run,” he said. “Even places like Cyprus—once you hear ‘Cy’—don’t even finish it, just run.”
Kendyson concluded by calling on Nigerian and African leaders to address the root causes of migration, including insecurity, unemployment, and poor living standards, so that citizens are not forced to seek better lives abroad.
