Nigerian musician, Davido, has expressed his view on the motivation for so many Nigerians seeking childbirth abroad.

There has currently been a trend of upper and middle-class Nigerians giving birth to their children outside of Nigeria.

Speaking on The Morning Hustle podcast, the singer opined that giving birth abroad can be compared to buying an insurance policy.

He stated that children born abroad have access to foreign citizenship, opportunities, good medical care, and quality education, among others.

“Giving birth abroad is a common trend among Nigerians.

"Apart from having better [medical] facilities overseas, people want to have their kids abroad to save them the hassle of applying for visas,” he said.
