Congratulations to Ada on her successful move to Nigeria and I wish her the very best. For me, I have a very different reality. Moving to UK 14 years ago on the Highly Skilled Visa as an IT professional. I had my own fair share of challenges. One of them was the fact that the UK being a first world country was ahead of Nigeria in terms of technology. I encountered a lot of difficulties in this UK that I almost joined the army so I could get my permanent residency/British citizenship easily and even accommodation. However, I decided against it because it was not part of my dream. It was so challenging that I had to get into an entry level IT position. From there, I upgraded my skills to be able to compete. I quit my job on 3 occasions without having another job even though I was the higher earner so I could pursue my dreams. One of them while pregnant. I now consult in the cyber security industry . I am so bold to stand up to any form of injustice and discrimination here in the UK and I am so proud of it. Living and working in the UK broadened my horizon and do not intend to move back to Nigeria anytime. Nigeria is my homeland and we visit Nigeria regularly but living in Nigeria is no longer for me. At least, I can confirm that once you have education, the opportunities in UK are endless. I was a participant of the Cyber Runway, the accelerator for cybersecurity innovators across the UK funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and delivered by Plexal with support from Deloitte, CyLon and the Centre for Secure Information Technologies.
I can go on and on......... Oh , and before I forget, Tochi's video in January about buying a house in the UK was what prompted us to make a move. We approached the broker and the bank all from the comfort of our bedroom and by June 2022, we were given the keys to our new home (the builders show home). Life CAN NEVER be this easy in Nigeria.
Awesome, I really love you input, can I by chance get your email? You don't have to post it here publicly if you're cool for us to connect I can drop my email under comment. Cheers sis your story has inspired me
@@TochiEsther yes please drop your email and I will connect ASAP

@@TochiEsther have just sent you an email.
Lovely ❤❤❤❤
I lived in UK myself for 18 years and am back in Nigeria now without any regrets. Nigeria is the best place to be if you plan your life well when abroad
Thank you.. you said it all.
I agree
Hi, any advice on how to properly relocate given the security situation in the country ?
Thanks.
@@wale4862What security situation? Stop acting as if 220M+ people living in Nigeria are disappearing daily.
Nothing will happen to you...just move and do the same matured things you were doing before you left Nigeria.
Na today dem begin dey talk about Gbomo-gbomo?
If our ancestors could survive enslavement by Europeans when they started kidnapping us, na Naija of today na im you get problem with? Come on now!!!
you lived those years without getting permanent stay?
She is back to Nigeria to give her children Africa culture and moral.... she will soon be back...you're secured since ur husband is in the Army.... all the best 👌
Exactly my thoughts. She will be visiting the 🇬🇧 often
do
The issue is that it is easy for her to return because she is already documented and probably a Citizen. Some have been in UK for 20 years without proper document, to make or take that kind of decision to move to Nigeria will not be easy.
I lived in the UK for 43 years, I returned to Nigeria in the middle of January, 2024.
😮what are you doing, and how is it going 🤔
What's your experience
You should have made a lot that will allow you to be very stable and comfortable in Nigeria
Wow 40++ years, congratulations 🎉
I have been in uk for 21 years and am preparing to relocate to My cointry Zambia.
There is no "sad reality" in Ada's story. In fact it is very uplifting.
'....humble yourself and bring back what you gain to improve Nigeria' got me.
Beautiful sensible girl. Hats off to you, you didn’t put any foot wrong. Go lady 👍
When you make money in the UK, you live like a king at home. This same Nigeria is where all the rich-high end celebrities and business people live (dangite, Davido, otedolas). When there's money life is easier in Nigeria.
Well said
You got it right
Word
True
Perfectly said!
👍👍👍
Go where you are welcomed guys. I can relate to this woman. I'm actually planning to migrate to Tenessee, US to unite with the rest of family and friends there. People don't understand that covert racism is WORSE than open racism. USA has it yes, but AT LEAST u aware of ur enemies. Here in the UK, your racist enemy cud be under your nose (ie: boss.... colleague... neighbour) and u not even aware, because they are two-faced. That is dangerous. They greet u kindly, but when u gone, the 2nd face is shown in ur absence. My business suffered because of this too. I have ppl in US who are interested in my business. Go where u are welcomed people.
At least in the UK your teenage son is not likely to be shot for being black. America?
@stephenblackman2003a Ha knife knife crime and targets teenagers oh oh its tears fir Bb parents..
They may not get shot, but they carry knives. Check out what happened to that kid on the train.
I think this lady faced lots of challenges in the UK, many people have degrees but still can't reach the top jobs in UK. If she got kids that born in UK , she will get funds for the kids. In Nigeria those funds will equate to a lot. In the US also your co workers can be two faced, they greet u nicely but talk behind your back savagely. The best u can do is never have any conversation with them, don't tell them your business, and ask God to direct u in a good path. God will deal with those two tongue people.
She said she is a citizen , that means she will get funds from the government for her kids.
My sister Tochi, Ada decided to leave the UK because there is no place like home. Where I am too in diaspora cannot be compared to Nigeria. Although our country has it's challenges but there is no freedom in the world like the one you enjoy in your own country
People keep trying to live in countries that are not right for them. If God meant for Nigerians to live in the UK, he would not have made Africa.
@@silverstars7882 exactly. when I came here I had hustle for years to get my residence permit, then learn the language, hustle for apartment, hustle for job and so on. Before you know it years have flown by. And come to think of it the kind of jobs we do abroad are the ones that kill your body. Damn!!!!. I love my country mehnnnn. We only need a good leader to put things right, change the country from consumption to production country and give us electricity 24/7
Thank you
Smart lady! I love the way how they as a couple worked as a team to achieve their goals and involved their children every step of the way with their transition to Nigeria. Family goals 🤗. May your marriage/family be forever blessed ❤️ and thank you for sharing your story 😊
You said it all, my dear sister. There is no place like home. The best thing is to go abroad, gain resources and expertise, then come back home and invest. Our friendly weather, close-knit community life, low personal tax structure and cultural dynamics make here an exciting place to be. Well done for thinking home. You are a beauty with brain.
Nigeria is a killer of dreams and has been that way ever since I can remember. My own parents immigrated to the UK in the 60s and at around the 90s when I was 10, they decided they had had enough and emigrated with us London born children back to Nigeria. It was a cuture shock for us who were not used to the Nigerian climate but fun...at first.
To cut a long story short one of my siblings passed away because of inadequate health care in Nigeria. My parents struggled to pay for every thing, including basic amenities we were used to getting for free in the UK. No pool to go swimming lol, no free library books, large school fees plus everything else related to going to school down to pens. I had access to free music lessons and was becoming very good at playing the piano, even enough to go for a music scholarship. No social life besides school life because of insecurity. Just school and back and weekends church.
As kids could not go and hang out in the park (no park sef), go to the cinema. Sometimes we would go for weeks without electricity and breath in the heavy fumes of the generator..not to mention if there was petrol scarcity then there was no light full stop which meant we couldn't keep snacks or any perishables in the fridge. We children suffered.
Eventually when my Dad decided to bring us back to England we kids were quite behind our peers in terms of confidence, speech, attitude. In Nigerian schools they whip or punish you for daring to assert yourself, self expression is muted as well as attitude. Iost all my piano skills and could not even swim anymore..I am still bitter about that part. These are the things still struggle with as an adult in the UK but we move.
Sorry about that,they did was best for you all. Pls forgive and correct the errors in your children
Thank you for your input. I am so sorry for the difficulties you encountered.
Now you have a better knowledge of both countries! Naija & UK.
What is going to be your contribution to better your home country.
Running 🏃♀️a way completely will not solve or make you part of them.
@@franklineziokwu448 It is quite complicated for us diasporans born abroad but I don't see Nigeria as home. I feel a lot more comfortable in the UK despite it's challenges but it is mostly all I have known. I only spent 5 years in Nigeria from age 10-15. I am now 37. I can appreciate Nigeria from afar
I am sorry to hear about the death of your sibling in Nigeria. BUT please note that Nigerians have also met violent deaths on the streets of London and we hardly hear vloggers/bloggers make a big deal out of such incidents as opposed to when such happens to someone from the diaspora in Nigeria. I knew of a Nigerian couple who lost 3 sons to knife violence in the UK over a period of 20 years.
You also mentioned that you lost your confidence, speech, attitude etc...if that is the general case with Nigerian students, then WHY do Nigerian students generally excel when they go for university education overseas?
Moving back to Nigeria isn't for everyone. It takes serious financial preparation. It is also done for specific reasons. One thing your parent might have forgotten to tell you was that the move to Nigeria probably saved their marriage and mental health at the time they moved?. I live in the US and I have seen Americans who moved to African countries...in remote villages where most of the facilities they enjoyed in the US were absent...with their families to work as missionaries, and were do so happily. I have seen Americans leaving the city to live OFF GRID just because they are just tired of the city and bill-paying system. They want to be free and away from "civilization".
Life isn't a one size fits all for everyone.
It’s easier for Ada to move because for 15years she hasn’t felt the pain in Nigeria. Those leaving now were those who never believed they would ever relocate😭
Plus her kids who might be citizens now have options as supposed those living Naija now for their kids sake
wise words full of thought. 👌
My exact thoughts. She left immediately after university
Thank You
@@Askchefoge she's not saying u should move back to Nigeria
Tochiiiiiii
What I gathered from this conversation, Ada has had someof her life boxes ticketed.
Those children being mentally prepared, I would say they will understand more when they hit 30 years (I believe that's the age of maturity)
Please whoever is listening to this don't be discouraged if you have migrated to the UK for a better life... light is at the end of the tunnel.
She doesn’t know what she is talking about. I hope Nigeria won’t happen to her
@@Fuccommy dear, we wish her well too
@@Fuccom
Aswear, I hope Nigeria doesn't happen to her😁😁😁
I appreciate her experience and family orientation. But I pray that 'Nigeria did not happen to you '.
To work for 6 months and not pay is ???????
See Ada's face is so stress free , abeg enjoy yourself. I have started plans on building my californian style ranch in Nigeria 🇳🇬 😋 to retire to. Nor be me , go dey hustle for cold for old age.
😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂 It’s So Terrible Oo😮. Isn’t For Only Cold 🥶. Both With Their Racism.
I so love everything you said, thanks for loving your country may your country bring you to a greater height in all your endeavours, amen.am impressed 🎉😊
Ada is on a long vacation in Nigeria.
Reality will soon kick in
If you’ve spent time abroad, you will understand all that Ada is saying! Not all that glitters is gold. After all, if your purpose and calling is not accomplished, no matter where you go outside Nigeria, you will never get fulfillment.
Keep a positive mind like Ada. Everything she said is absolutely right. I’ve only been in the US for 6 years, and work well, but I completely resonate with her. Bless you, Ada. I hope you get fulfillment in all you do. Congratulations Ada.
Western world 🌎 is nobody 's home. There's no mind of entitlement as global South. People need to develop their own terrain
Home is best to be honest.
It’s easier for Ada to leave. She relocated to the UK immediately after school, she didn’t experience the third mainland traffic or the hostility of the Nigerian employer. The issue with the holiday is the standard of most Nigerian employee. Your employer will tell you. “Leave is a privilege,not a right”. I was one of the graduates who did internship in Nigeria with NO PAY at all. Now, even most influencers are advising immigrants to do internships and volunteering while studying for their masters.
I’m not saying Nigeria is not sweet to spend your money, I’m only saying, it was easier because she’s now a citizen, her husband was making a huge amount (being in the army), they could afford some of the best schools in Nigeria, so why not.
Those living now have experienced Nigeria the hard way and have more information now to make the most of their lives abroad
You said it all, if she didn’t make the money they won’t make decision of relocating back home , those coming from Nigeria to UK have gone through a lot , Congratulations Ada🎉
May God bless you. I can make the decision as well if I have made enough money abroad.
Very true ❤❤❤❤
I can relate with Ada, we did exactly same thing over a decade ago, the best decision I ever made. I was able to be fully involved in the development of my children. My confidence soared. My career took a great leap. By the grace of God, after several hiccups, we have been able to establish a good business. It took a lot of courage but i guess it's better to attempt new dreams than settle for what you don't really want.
I agree with everything you said. Good to see someone that has gone through the same.
Welldone
I'm looking forward to moving my family too after 20yrs.
Chai to all of Una hoping that things won’t workout for Ada & she will “RUN” back to UK, I will say back to the sender. The lady got plans & what’s wrong with it. Any pikin that lives in 9ja & earn $ or £, you will have a great life. For those preparing to JAPA simply go with proper Visa, Correct plans on what you want to do and have 15 to 20 years exit plan back to your home country for semi-retirement. If you don’t Ahhhhhhhh pikin gotta work until age 70!!
Everyone's experience and expectations are different. But more importantly as someone who has lived in the UK and now in Africa, UK is a million times better with immense opportunity.... Africa is a dream killer truth be said. You just need to be smart in all you do
Great aspiration video for all Africans in diaspora! Only thing is that Ada's case is unique. The percentage that can start and maintain a business in the UK ( even when not resident) like Ada must be very tiny. I could wrong but most of our families here in the UK are employed and are generally saddled with all manner of obligations on a day to day basis till the children clear university. Would be nice if Ada could also share how people can start businesses and succeed like how she and husband did, all in 15 years plus having a young family?
What type of business?
Igbo people are experts when it comes to business, wherever it is.
The secret is husband and wife teamwork and planning , education and having a focus and keeping to the focus while supporting each other and of course prayer & community. It takes work, dedication and vision, once you have those tools in place everything is possible!
Please you can tell her to get inverter system, it helps from the constant interruption of Phcn and its noiseless....I live in Nigeria and I have light 24/7. A lot of Nigeria will come back in the future if we can tackle insecurity and economy. We have the potential to be one of the best countries in the World. For our people abroad, I pray your road will be easy and God will answer our prayers.
Exactly, insecurity and nig economy must be work on,nothing special here ,their system here waste a lot of african time
Tell Ada she was amazing and very real and has touched many including my wife and I. This was our first video on your channel and I subscribed and watched your other videos immediately. Thanks for the value you share
No place is a safe heaven. My friend ran back to Nigeria from UK, 1 year in Nigeria, she got fade up. She bought a car and would pack it to jump on a bike, change 3 schools for the kids, her new generator got stolen from our compound a week after she bought it. Currently she's back to UK working. Ada has a good foundation to relax in Nigeria and fly back to UK at anytime. Well, I faced that colour description at my workplace which to me quiting my job but I'm not moving back now hence I need a foundation first.
☺️☺️ I agree with you Chy
@@AdaLivingInspirations Sure Ada, many of us abroad would like to move back home when there's a fertile ground and security back home. We are sincerely praying for goodness governance as home remains the best
Thanks @Chy space you said it all
Well said
She still fresh in Nigeria- to show the hussle is real, even while doing this live Nepa took light. After 2 years we can come back for another conversation. Secondly she still indirectly in UK, she’s an employer of labour raking in pounds even while in Nigeria, paying 3 Managers, that’s not small o so her pounds is cooling off on monthly basis in UK banks, what more?
Thank you Ada for being focused and didn't attempt to constitute nuisance in the UK. So many in the UK have no family value and career plans but to "hustle" for daily living as caregivers.
I am assuring ADA that she will not regret her actions. Your business will turn into conglomerate.
Accept my best regards and remain blessed.
The big reality is that, Africa is the best place to stay. We are forced to move out of Africa because of poor leadership of our government.
Thank you Tochi for this video but I will ask Ada why she had to wait 15 years before coming back. Let us go and stay for 15 years and then decide whether to stay or come back
Some people will still stay 40 yrs and can’t go back home because ther is nothing to write home about. This is because grace is different and some people don’t have plans but just to work. By God’s grace I am here and I don’t intend to be here when I retire. Becoming an Employer in the Uk is the goal by God’s grace.
After she has made money
Lol
You missed her point. She is saying travel to England, make money save enough money and come back to Nigeria to leave a soft life. It's a well know strategy called, "Economic Arbitrage".
That is what a lot of middle class and low income whites from 1st world countries (Americans, British, Australian etc) are now doing to retire early. That is exactly what Ada did and is telling others to do.
She practically advising people not to go to the UK, rope themselves in debt just because they want to show off and end up living as a slave in the UK for the rest of their life coz they are sunk in debt.
@estheragboli It takes time to achieve success abroad. What many people in Nigeria who lives in fools paradise and think the way you do doesn't realize is that those who migrated legally to Western countries 15 or more years ago even have a better chance of achieving some level of success than those who are migrating illegally and end up getting stucked and suffer with nothing to show for living abroad. The economy of the developed countries is not as buoyant as it used to be, and many of them are now anti immigrant. Do your home work and take the legal route before you run out of Nigeria, so that you don't run from frying pan and jump into open fire.
I have been living in the UK for the past 32 years and do not have plans returning to Nigeria.
The truth of the matter is can you afford to move back to Nigeria? That's truth you liars are not telling.
@@afrikanheritage99 how can I leave my well paid job, extremely good pension scheme, and return to a lawless evil contraption called Nigeria.
Sorry ooooohhhh
Continue deceiving yourself runaway from your root hmmmm you are making a big mistake
@@nnaemekaokeke5268. Please if you do not have something positive to say, please stay muted.
To madam Ada ,, why don’t you build solar inverter … with solar panels,, that will beat the generator noise…
CONGRATULATIONS ADA, Sincerely speaking most people sound cold about your decision despite how settled you are before moving back to Nigeria, this is why people prefers to die abroad than move back home and it doesn't make sense.
Personally there is really nothing sad about all ive heard in this video
Infact I wish I can be thus patient to stay here, develop myself before moving, on a personal basics, I moved in here just one year ago as a medical Doctor on TIER2 VISA, things has been going on fine with me, ive secured a spot in GP training and yet I see myself unhappy, very unhappy. I initially thought it was because I stayed away from my kids and husband, worked so hard for them to join me which they did, yet the unhappiness, lack of Peace of mind still there. To make this situation worst I am not happy with the school system here for my kids especially my son in high school as he feels so relaxed and not motivated, I am actually contemplating moving back to Nigeria and making plans towards it and trust me, if I don't move now, I will still move back once I feel a little stable financially.
For me UK system is extremely stressful especially for a mother of 5 like me, you barely have time for parenting as bills are there to pay, for me I really wish at this time, I have a house in Nigeria, I would have moved today or tomorrow, for me I have experienced poverty in Nigeria and so called better life both in Saudi Arabia and UK and I can proudly tell you that every thing about my life is in Nigeria.
I wont call it a mistake moving, is a life time lesson and I am not who I used to be, the way I see life and poverty has changed
As for insecurities, we keep hoping that things will be better in Nigeria. Your children at this Stage of their lives need the move you made, people may laugh but I see you a woman of wisdom
Cheers
Thanks for your sincere comment. I can relate 💯. This is the truth we fail to tell ourselves or the truth the people back home who benefit from our struggles abroad persuade us not to tell ourselves. My mental health and that off my family matters.
Just have a 8-10 year exist plan, make good money decision daily and save as much as you can and give yourselve that retirement that you deserve in nigeria or any other country where your saved dollar or pounds can stretch the farthest and have enviable culture. Plus, you can have all the time to grow with your children and model them into good citizens.
Well done Ada, your decision is excellent and I understand that you and your husband made the decision together and it must surely favour you people. When husband and wife plan together there's always success. Peace of the lord be with you people.
Understand the key thing here, all her children are citizens, and anything can happen again when she's tired of Nigeria...
You are right. All the family has UK passports already so they can decide to move back when they want to
Good luck Ada. Nigeria is sweet when you have enough money.
I hope the children will not experience Nigerian epileptic school systems
Since your husband was working, you should have taken the internship course. Some of us here worked in the Carehomes voluntarily just to gain the experience and apply for the care Jobs.
My thought too
I want to relocate there too. I've done a course for care homes with a UK agency. Please help and guide me.
My thoughts exactly !
It’s not a disaster to work without pay since you have a backup plan
That was her decision which she had the right to make. Every have a right to make choice(s) for themselves.
THE CREATOR BLESS
No one will do menial jobs! As a graduate student in the US 🇺🇸 I made so much money as an intern, as earning $6000 a month.
Great one true about life in UK stress list goes on
Am in Italy from kenya now 17 years, am working on my plans to re locate to my motherland regardless of the ups and downs.
While we are all free to make such move, I question some of the interests that drove Ada's decision. Getting excited as Ada did when she talked and bragged about having maids (remember, these are other people's children as young as her own children) and having others cut grass for her, for little or nothing, shows the exploitation culture that is not tolerated in a civilized culture such as the UK. If we decide to move back home my brothers and sisters, can we do so to become part of the solution and not join in exacerbating the ills of Nigeria.
Lots of wealthy people in the UK have maids, housekeepers, au pairs, and a few have even been caught and arrested for modern slavery. Nothing civilised about it.
@ Jonny, l couldn't agree with you more. I wonder why people would always compare where they cone from to the abroad. It is two different worlds. In my opinion your mindset also influences whether you will enjoy living abroad or not so far as you don't compare. I have to realise that most of my African people just like to complain.
Youre kidding right? The British built their whole existence on slavery and mass murdering. And the British exploit the civilians out of their money too and call it 'taxes'.
Yimu, I know a couple that relocated back to Nigeria due to social services palava. It was later someone told me that social worker almost took their kids. Immediately they got their kids back. They relocated back to Nigeria. This happened 9 years ago. They're back in UK last year. Their two children are now 18 and 19 years. People will never tell you the reasons.
Read my comments. I just cant see why people find it impossible. Not only that search on U-tube and see the number of returnee's from abroad back in Nigeria and as I speak I have friends who have also just move and they have no immigration issues, or securing a good job issues people are just fed up after so many years. Above your comment is mine go and have a read, living abroad is not for everybody especially once you have achieved your goals.
Thank you. Most people won't tell you why they are going back to Niger but they will discourage other people. Some have dipped their hands into things that they know the law will deal with them when cought up. Every Anoki to his own kettle, make everyone do wetin suit them
@@titiaridegbe2713 it's a personal decision. UK is not for everybody.
@@estherelufowoju3166 People move back to Africa to heal emotionally and mentally after years of working in the west. Living continuously in the west without a break can be detrimental to your mental health to be honest.
@@dejijames4516 Exactly people are so ignorant and believe it’s greener. I have read your comments below and agree 💯 there is more negative impact on the kids than good. I and even my son thank God for decision I made bringing him up in Nigeria 🇳🇬 which obviously has made him a better and successful young man that he is today and I am also a woman of pride. Living abroad is only a good thing if the end justifies the means. I wish our people the best. Lately the awful news about influx’s has not been good but who are we to advise they say experience is the best teacher.
Congratulations! I love my UK
Goodluck to you Ada..you and your family are already citizens, with British passport I presumed. Am not inspired by your story ooo..
I want to japa with my family..that is my vision now.if you had lived in Nigeria for that 15years, you would have known the difference..enjoy your stay in naija
Same thing I wanted to say
😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...it is the "I am not inspired by your story ooo" for me.
@@chinyphiludeagwu5382 I am gathering myself to relocate to the UK with my family soonest, I am also in the IT field, i will really appreciate your guidance and mentorship,if you dont mind.
@@adeyinkaruth5557 I would be very happy to mentor you. 😊
@chinyphiludeagwu538am also interested 2 be mentored
I can understand you Ada, but I need to get my visa first, spend like 5 years and think of what next
Iam a zambian.I feel you made a giant step in life.A boy went to Zambia from UK but refused to go back.He was at the time 14 yrs old.So your children will love that life in Africa especially that they will never walk alone ! From Berlin
Great interview. All my best wishes to Ada for making a brave decision to return to your country ❤
I love ur planning Ada.
Is it good to have two heads working together.
God bless you and your husband and the children.
There's a book read, that says let ur money work for you.
24 seven we all are working for other people without planning.
And secondly! U and ur husband have building ur children's future.
They are learning from u guys.
I really love the idea. There are lot of Lebanese in our country Nigeria making money.
No place like home.
Where do I find money before it works for😂me?
Thanks for sharing. My sisters and I were taken to Nigeria by our parents in the 1970s. I was 5, and my sisters were 4 and 3. I returned to the U.K in the 1980s when I was 20. My sisters joined me a few months later. I must admit that the U.K was a struggle in the 1980s and 1990s, but things have been much better for me since. I work in IT and I am having a wonderful career. I am still about 10 years from retirement, but I have no complaints.
I recently went to Nigeria for the first time since I returned in the 1980s (I lost my mum in the 1990s and only heard the news about 1 month later, the distress put me off going to Nigeria). I have been to many airports in the world, including in Malawi, Kenya and Tunisia in Africa. I have also been to many Airports in Europe, North America and in Asia. I have to admit that the airport in Lagos is the only airport where officials were asking for money.
The immigration, the customs, the NDLEA officials were all asking for money. I was very irritated by the fact that my family and I had already paid over £250 each for visas to Nigeria. Personally, I believe the U.K is still one of the best countries in the world to be a black person. I am not ethnically profiled when I go to vote, unlike in Lagos where people who looked like Igbos were not allowed to vote during the gubernatorial elections. (Though I am Yoruba, I look more like an Igbo and would have been stopped from voting if I lived in Nigeria). The sad thing though is that we met many lovely Nigerians in Lagos. Most of them are our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, some of them were just people who volunteered to help us at the airport without even expecting anything in return. Nigeria needs to sort her leadership out.
I admire, applaud and commend you for being able to set up your business so that you can live anywhere. I am Jamaican but we are mostly West African and mostly Nigerian. Best wishes. Well done. God bless. ❤❤👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Best of luck Ada, good job Tochi, although your guest was withholding alot of information.
Well done Ada all I see here is a well structured plan. Which is key. Planning is very essential and can’t be over emphasized. I learnt something from this video. The first time I watched your video on your channel I was like what were they thinking? Nigeria 🇳🇬 where people are running out!!! But I get the point now. You planned it well and it’s working out for you and your family. All the best moving forward.
Thank you so much Harida.
You have a business on autopilot in England, at the slightest appearance of political tensions in Nigeria, you'll be in England, even if it has to be through Ghana.
Nnem you did right life in Europe in general is not easy most people are pretending they are having a good life in overseas but that is not true Nigeria truly remain the best place to live if you put the right things place like having your own house and put up small business to go with it
Thank you Humphrey...So far, It feels so good to be back home.
I congratulate you Ada and I am sure your story can resonate with others. However All fingers are not equal. I did not hear you say what particular business you do although I note you have a good support system in your husband. I pray you the best. I have lived in the UK for almost 40 years and enjoying each and every day and yes!! there have been mega challenges, but if the system works for you appreciate it. I love you are giving your children the priceless opportunity to see and live the wonderful cultural experience and heritage that Nigeria is. Stay blessed.
life is all about planning, their are so many people moving back to Nigeria after living so many years abroad and they are living their BEST LIFE. not everyone is on TH-cam. to me is not a big deal to see people moving from abroad to Nigeria because not everyone want to leave aboard forever Mustly when you have invested in Nigeria. for those people living abroad saying moving back to Nigeria is a bad thing just no that most of them as NOTHING to write home about , I congratulate ADA and her family for making the big move of moving back to Nigeria because LIFE is not all about money, money, money. In abroad we work to leave why in Nigeria we leave to work. IF you want to move Back to Nigeria, planning and Invest that is the only way you will enjoy Nigeria without running back to abroad in a short time.
You have said it all that is what I always tell people once you have achieved your goals, Nigeria is the best place to live. Living abroad is not for everybody and finally there is no place like home.
I agree with you 💯 Ada
I will do same when time comes, this is not life!
Wow! I'm surprised that some people could actually consider to move back to Nigeria in this present time when alot clamour to leave. Anyways, congratulations to Ada, but may Nigeria not happen to any of us because presently in Nigeria, if thief no rob you inside traffic or at home, dem fit kidnap you for ransom or ritual purposes, if dem no kidnap you, police/soldier fit shoot you, if dem no shoot you, stray bullet fit knack you, if you survive am, flood fit carry you go, if flood no carry you, Herdsmen/bandits fit attack you, if dem no attack you, you fit die from collapsed building, if that one no kill you, fire outbreak fit murder you. Nigeria at this present time is more like 1000 ways to die where the only thing working is corruption and insecurity. NHS =0, Education=0, Electricity=0, Security=0.000, Cost of living/tax/thuggery(agbero) = extremely higher than usual. Suffering & hunger has turned a large population of educated Nigerians to sport betters and POS vendors. Once again Congrats Ada!
This your comment made me laugh sha..the way it's structured ....
I have a dream and the dream is to leave Nigeria for the future of my kids... period. When I settle in UK or Canada ...you know...😊I can come and be visiting... That's if visiting is safe by then 😪
@@MakkieBlaise By the special grace of God, we shall be visiting
@@milliSenoraj 🙏🙏
Funny but true lol
Good point!
Madam, consider solar energy. I relocated to Nigeria 4 years ago. On arriving in Nigeria, i immediately installed solar system and i have not lost power even for a minute, so NEPA and generator noise are not any problem for me. It's not cheap though.
Come back in the next 3 years to tell us how it is going. I wish you well.
I don’t think she will have any issues or go through what we have been going through. She is a British citizen if she can’t handle it anymore she will leave remember she has a business over there. The lady planned this thing very well.
@@haridabeauty Absolutely 💯
She won't, Nigeria is a good place to live,just plan well.
Tochi I am one of your popular family and am sure you will remember me. My take on this topic I was born here and I lived in Nigeria for 18 years we went back to Nigeria when I was 5 came back to the UK when I was 23 and since I have never liked or adjusted to the UK. I am now a mother of a 24 year old which you can see on my DP and can tell you as soon as he was 5 years old I took him back to Nigeria and we both lived there till he finished his secondary to come and finish off Uni. There are fantastic British and American schools in Nigeria my son went to a British school where the curriculum was purely British he sat the IGCSE and came out with 8B and 1A*, the minute we applied for his A/L's he was offered admission in a well know Grammar school in my area. I purposely left because of him one as a single mum I was afraid of how things were going to turn out without a father figure, the way children in this country turn out which eventuntually when we came back we found out most of his mates were out of school, some have joine gun crime and some even no more. Secondly having to drop him here and there with people to go and work despite the fact that I worked in a bank Barclays at a point I had to take on a second job on Saturday and Sunday call centre job then I used to cry my eyes out as that was never my plan for any of my kids, I was well trained even back in Nigeria went to private schools,lived in GRA so why would I give my child first child for that matter less. So picking up the second job was to have enough money to go back. I studied and graduated here studied Business & Finance eventhough I got a job it was low pay and not in my major HR so all that put together I thought I needed to go back which I successfully did and my son also loved it. When it was time to come back again I was so down, miserable and depressed. We came back 2012, now I work in my field as a HR Business Partner earn good money as a contractor, work from home, own my own property but still it has never been my plan to live here permanently right now I am working towards going back finally never to come back and live but just to visit. Like I always say to people if you plan well you will be ok, have your own house, make sure you have 24/7 electricity - Gen, Solar system, Inverter and Nepa you can never go wrong I visit Nigeria atleast 3 times a year and have always rented Airbnb well equipped with electricity supply, internent, security and water once you have that i tell you that's all you need from that experience I know living in Nigeria is possible.You now have the weather, help, communial spirit and last last you can always go and come back. One thing before I forget is a small business to keep you going and stay active. During COVID I was in Nigeria because I was on Furlough here and rather than just wasting time I learn a trade which I purposely did just when I am ready to go back finally.
Thank you for this piece
You are absolutely right, if you have money living in Nigeria will be so easy. I have a friend who recently moved back to Nigeria from Canada and she is enjoying herself. She got a very good and well paid job as a nurse in VI , she has her personal driver, cook that comes once in a week and housekeeper and the issue of electricity is out of it because they have constant supply of electricity in there estate and there's also standby big noiseless generator. She is even happier than when she was in Canada. And whatever she needed she order it online and they delivered without stressing herself. Planning is the key, before you move back home, make sure you have a good plan on ground.
Ada....you have spoken well.
Thank you for sharing your experience ❤
Reality talk. Thank you.
Amazing. Thank you Ada For sharing your story. Weldone Tochi.😊
I was dying to know what type of business she set up and I can’t believe that question was never asked!
Me too
Why do Nigerians give half answers to direct questions? Did you buy, build, rent a house?
Someone is hoping to get direction from what you answer but you go "housing was sorted".
Toh.
hahaha ....excaltry my mind
That is Nigerian's for you. We will not give you information to make your life easy. If I struggled to achieve something, you must struggle too you cannot get free information from me. That is how we roll 🤣🤣🤣
As already said, gvt has this scheme of giving a certain amount over your mortgage. My house in London I got 25% of the asking price. The bank gave my sister and I, the mortgage on our salaries combined. There's different types of mortgages. So you need to read about them. When you talk to a broker, they can explain to you more. I took an endowment mortgage with fixed rate for two years. After the two years, the interest rate went down. That was God.
But a lot of people list their houses that time in the 90s, unfortunately.
Please don't look at these things in UK from a Black perspective. You will not get anywhere in life. I'm retired now and finished paying my mortgage in London.
Most people especially Nigerians on these platforms don't want to work hard. Even my father worked hard in Zim to provide for us. Africa has got its challenges. Extended family, cousins children and now their own children. So it's 3rd generation from us. Having worked as a nurse, midwife and health visitor, I did my psychology degree in the evenings in East London University in the mid ninetees, coming from work at 5 pm. Four years I endured that and passed my degree. People talk about discrimination and predudice in UK, I sailed through. Maybe in 40 years, I experienced two predudice. It's how one sees it and responds to it. Africa has more predudice, competition than in the UK. I've experienced it in my retirement. My own niece ignored me and told people that we'll see how she's going to manage here in Zim. I made friends at church and helped people with ideas and suggestions even those with children with disabilities. (my area of specialisation). Later those very relatives who shunned me were now asking me to help pay fees for their children. How tables turned. One thing I've never engaged is a maid. I prefer to wash my own clothes, thank you very much.
Ada, Congratulations 🎊 🎉. I appreciate your story . Also be careful where and when you go out. Make better plans to even move towards the Eastern part of Nigeria for yourself, family and Job security. Jisike my dear, God is with you.
This woman will soon run back to the UK. I am not prophesying but hope you will still interview her when that happens. Good thing she is making enough money to cover all her bills in Lagos. My father moved back to Nigeria over 10 years ago, without establishing anything in Nigeria or in the UK and I can tell you that it has not been funny. I had to really struggle to relocate back to the UK because I couldn't just stand it at a point. Maybe when I have my citizenship and have an established business, I might think of coming back to 9ja.
How do you know she doesn't have a business plan she's working on?
Don’t mind them just to put people down
Uk isn’t all that. I think we get stable electricity. Good transportation in the uk. However i also think a lot of people work too much in the uk and it’s easy to become depressed. The uk is not perfect.
Me and your story the same.
Best decision for relocating to the Motherland! Well done, and Jah will see you through!
I hope no one changes their mind of relocating after watching this video.. She gives no valid reasons for relocating back to Nigeria. I think she is just on sabatical leave in Nigeria. Might run back to England soon... Go and make your own experiences
If they came to you for help, you wouldn't help them. But you would advise them to enter a trap.
Instead of generator, get a solar
But she looks still young.Wish you well .Take care for yourself n the family.From Berlin
Ada has not felt the pain of working in Nigeria like myself & my family. She will see the difference soon.
Sorry, she didn't come back to Nigeria to work. Instead, she is here to retire and live a soft life. She paid all her dues already.
The strategy is called economic arbitrage.
It’s care agency business she is running in UK 🇬🇧 I think, may be domiciliary or care homes care that’s it . God bless your hustle .
Thank you Tochi!! Thank you Ada!! This was good from start to finish. Inspiring for sure💐
Yes it was. Thanks dear
Sounds like she had a care business, well done on your new move to Nigeria 🇳🇬
I even plan on going to the UK stay for a while, move to US then come back to Nigeria where I'll only travel out for holidays only.
Hi am in Manchester looking for sponsorship
@@ukohaemekachristopher598 yes I am
I hope and pray for this. That would be lovely. Just travel for holidays.dream
Highly inspirational with a very sensible family!
Good job & may your dreams never die.
If you have your legitimate money, Nija sweet o.
I know someone who started a business, it picked up nicely, she left to go back to her country to start a different business. The good thing in country if a business is well established, especially care, you don’t have to be there personally. Other people can run your business. Because here you don’t chase for money. Once set up and running money just comes in the business account. Done.
Most African I have met in Germany, are all planning to move back to Africa. It's not at all not bad. Those are my plans too. Home is home. There's no place like. For those who are planning to go abroad, my advice to you is, please remain where you are. I'm telling you the real truth and nothing but the truth. There are many things you can do in Africa like business wise or work. It's really makes me sad to see many Africans dying in the Mediterranean sea for difficult life in Europe.
Ada you have gotten what you desire, at least you're now a citizen of UK. Which is a big achievement so you can retire and allow others to achieve dual citizenship.
I don’t think shes saying anyone should not go there and achieve dual citizenship... she’s just sharing her story and I’m sure it will help others
Thanks. I'm really encouraged
Honestly, it's easier for her to go back to Nigeria because obviously she and her husband have made enough money in the UK to enable them settle comfortable in Nigeria. Besides she's a UK citizen so she knows she can still go back anytime, that explains it
True, True 👍
Ada's children already has dual citizenship, so its easy to make such decision.
They already made money in abroad to enable them establish in naija, what else.
15 years! you already have your British citizenship and enough funds to setup in Nigeria, so you have a soft landing but give it 2 to 3 years, and see if it's still the same.
I tell you...anyways, so far so good
She will run back soon. No be person go tell am
@@davidemerald7690 🥰🥰🥰
Give your self time
She even has business in UK, so they earn in pounds even from Nigeria
I made the same also after been in the Uk since 1996. Moving back and regularly come to Uk for adhoc jobs is the ever .
Don't mind Ada she got ils and citizenship so back to Nigeria to give their kids African training knowledge of European way of raising kids is 50/50.After the children finished university,Ada will be back to UK.
She has spoken the language, that is the gospel truth. I wish you best of Nigeria luck, enjoy your home coming.
Say it lod sis boredom is crazy hee
This one can’t discourage me not for one bit … japa is the goa
Nice one after becoming a citizen
To add my comment,it's her own reason....but for me,her reasons are not a good enough reason for me to move my family permanently to Nigeria. Even before going to UK, everybody knows that most companies if you don't have 🇬🇧 experience in that filled no work for you...its just very few that overlooks it,so its not a new or strange thing . Foreigners should be educated on this simple fact. I wish her all the best though
A very bold move indeed. Your and your husband are courageous. You did it when your children are of the right age to do such gamble. My worries are that you are Igbo though l don’t know where your husband comes from and you’re sounding confident in living in Lagos? An Igbo man in Lagos? If l have such plans, l must get as near my village in Nigeria as possible, never to be relocating again in life. Thank you for your boldness once more.
Most people that JAKPA-ed in the last 2 to 5 years never believed they would ever leave the country in their lives to travel abroad.
For frequent travellers they’ll tell you home is best . No place like home . Trust me. ❤
That is what Ade is saying.
Prepare your mind. Not just carry ur money and children, went to Nigeria started enjoying.
Find something doing with that money.
All I see here is not having an experienced career coach in your life on time. It's always advised you get an experienced career coach who has a credible, visible track record to help walk you through that career ladder especially as an immigrant.
@Princess Chukwudi, please how do I get a career coach here?
Pls help me find one because am planing to relocate with my children and hubby next year for my masters.
Princess pls help me.I ready accounting/education,bsc 2class honours.
Thank you Tochi for having me🥰
Was nice having your share experience!
@Ada Living Inspirations - I hope and pray that your move to Nigeria bear much fruit. Please ignore all the negative remarks coming from rude people participating in the comment section. They are not in your shoe and have no right to tell you what you did was wrong or right. However, I must challenge you Nigerian volggers/bloggers to also focus your attention on the negative experiences of Nigerian immigrants abroad. The vlogging community is hypocritically silent on bad things that happen to Nigerian immigrants overseas and I think that doesn't help. Some of the negative stories that are told about Nigeria also happen to Nigerian immigrants abroad but we don't hear about them on the vlogs and blogs.
I wish you and your family well.
Well done you. You planning was on point. No place like home.
She will be back to UK eventually.
Weldone. It is a good decision. Kids will get used to Nigeria quickly. They are malleable. Also they will have experiences that they can tap from when they grow . Good to set up a business that can pay you to live your lifestyle.
