“If you want to be real, you’ll offend people,” – UK-based Nigerian YouTuber defends his comment

A Nigerian YouTuber, Emdee Tiamiyu has defended his earlier comment against Nigerians who acquire UK student visas.

The Nigerian YouTuber, Emdee Tiamiyu is currently making headlines after he mentioned in an interview with BBC that most Nigerians who secure student visas do not travel to the UK to study but with a different motive.

He said;

“So the student thing is not real. It is not like they need the degrees.

“They need the degree as an access road to come into the country, so a lot of these people their priorities shifted real fast.”

In a new interview with Daddy Freeze on Instagram Live, the YouTuber, Emdee Tiamiyu defended his comment saying that people get offended for hearing the truth. He further disclosed that he was misunderstood and misinterpreted by many.
