Facebook just reminded me that its been 4years I built this house. Infact I barely enjoyed this house before I relocated to the UK.
This brought back my memory to what someone that knew me very well wrote in one of my comment section. He posited that “I had a flourishing cement business, that I would have remained in Nigeria because of that instead of coming to the UK 🇬🇧 to suuffer”🤣🤣🤣
Well yes, I had a well patronized construction company and also a chain of poultry farms both mine and client farms whom I managed.
I was also a Government appointee, hence enjoying several government privileges😁
What actually influenced my decision to autopilot all the above, entrust them in the hands of managers and travel down to the UK???
Well, I thought about the fact that, no matter how much I could accumulate from all these, it wouldn’t secure the future I wanted.
My children and I would be in an environment where I would always be scared of their safety either by Boko people or ungun known men🤣🤣🤣.
Naira was fast depreciating, hence no matter how many millions you make in a month, once you have a family emergency, you will come back to almost square one.
Business in Nigeria are merely surviving because each day you go back to the market to restock, you notice that you MUST always push in new funds into your capital just to remain in business. Gain is not really guaranteed regularly again.
Has it been rosy and easy since I arrived?
The answer is a capital NO.
But the truth is that I am not putting in upto the energy I put in back home. With lesser energy and smartness, I am making a living, paying my bills, sending money back home and definitely will have some savings for the rainy days.
Should you follow my experience, sell off all you have and travel?
My answer is another capital NO 🙄
I didn’t sell off all I had, I had a plan marked out, followed through the plan, only sold a plot of land and took some loans to finance the movement.
For me the relocation is one of the best decisions I made for myself but that doesn’t mean that it will be the same for you if you dont plan well.
Forget all these fine pictures me and my fellow abroad people are posting online, we dey collect gbas gbos on a regular but the truth is that the future is beautifully bright and we are in an environment where your security and mental health is being taken care of. Here no matter how much you make, to feed no fit be problem because the minimum wage is adorable.
Oya get back to your drawing board and continue planning, I am always in my Ticktok inbox to guide my followers.
See you here soon ❤️
