Avoid any form of Japa if you are above 40 and married — Daddy Freeze

Media personality Daddy Freeze has sparked fresh debate after sharing a strong warning to married Nigerians over 40 considering relocation abroad.

Speaking on The Honest Bunch Podcast, Daddy Freeze advised couples in that age bracket to “avoid any type of abroad” for now, especially destinations like the United States and the United Kingdom.

According to him, relocation should only be considered under two conditions: “one is, the suffering in Nigeria is unbearable or the enjoyment promised abroad is much more than anything you can have here.”

Outside of these reasons, he warned married couples to stay put. He specifically cautioned, “Avoid America and avoid the UK for now. If you are married avoid relocating for now.”

Explaining his stance, Daddy Freeze pointed to immigration challenges, noting that couples may give birth to children abroad yet struggle with citizenship issues due to evolving immigration policies.

He also alleged that some couples resort to drastic measures to secure residency. “What couples now do is to divorce each other and get married to other partners for papers especially in the UK and US except one of them is a citizen,” he said.

Raising a critical question about the emotional toll of such arrangements, he asked, “how many marriages can survive a divorce and remarriage of the same couple?”
