Russia-born Nigerian actress and content creator, Fari Elysian has opened up on the reason she relocated to Nigeria.

The thespian disclosed that she moved to Nigeria after falling in love with a Nigerian man.

She stated this in the latest episode of The Time podcast hosted by Victoria Gure and Folasade Abimbola.

The thespian said she has been in Nigeria for three years and it has been a great experience for her.

Fari said, “I came [to Nigeria] because of a man. I was in love. I relocated to Nigeria in 2020. I’ve been here for three years now. And it’s beautiful. It’s amazing.”

Speaking on the trend of Nigerians relocating abroad for greener pastures, she opined that people often look for something they don’t have, hence the reason for the ‘japa syndrome.’

She said, “People want something they don’t have; they appreciate something they don’t have more. Me coming here, it was all new to me. It was something I don’t have. I never had and I’ve it now. So, it’s like something new. It’s exotic.

“I found myself here. I discovered myself here. The same thing for Nigerians that are travelling out. People always want something they don’t have. It has always been like that.”
