Migration is a trending phenomenon. Couched under the familiar ‘japa‘ term for Nigerians, notable Yoruba movie stars have embraced it as much as regular citizens.
While fame can be intoxicating, it can also be long-lasting. In the case of these five movie stars, they chose to live what you may refer to as ‘normal lives’ abroad despite the level of fame they’d been able to acquire in Nigeria before their departure.
