Nigerians in the diaspora have taken to social media to show off their amazing physical transformation by sharing photos of themselves when they were in Nigeria and now that they live abroad.
The trend which began on microblogging platform, Twitter, has since sparked conversations about the living condition in Nigeria.
Some Twitter users defined the standard of living in Nigeria as poor while others opined that the Nigerians abroad were only able to afford better phones with good cameras.
See the transformation photos below;

Naija stress gave me large and unwanted dimples (first frame). Leaving Nigeria was the only surgery I needed to regain the lost flesh on my face. Plus the weather here is a natural skincare lotion.😁
