Don’t Abandon Home, Anthony Joshua Tells Nigerians In Diaspora

Nigerian-British professional boxer, Anthony Joshua, has urged his compatriots living in different parts of the world to always visit Nigeria, their home country.

Joshua made this known in a viral video following his visit to the country for the Yuletide.

In the video, the two-time heavyweight champion emphasised the significance of Nigerians staying linked to their ancestry.

“Come and see your family, come and see your friends, come and see your people. It’s an amazing place. You have to know your place, though. I can only tell but I can’t show you. You have to be here. I hope this message gets to you ASAP,” he said.
