“God I’m tired” Nigerian lady on why she’s leaving uk 🇬🇧 after 20 years .

[@abdurrazaqtaiwo8018]

Thanks for sharing this experience Travelling is part of education I was a surgeon on clinical attachment back in 2008 and I really learnt a lot from my British senior colleagues They encouraged me to stay and I was really tempted by the prospect of my children and I becoming British citizens. However, my decision to go back was cemented when I met a black British of Nigerian decent who sadly lamented that he doesn't know any of his parents relatives and feel all alone. In addition, I must confess that I had everything equipments I needed to operate my patients but I was unsatisfied because the system can replace me in a jiffy I went back home and happy to have trained several surgeons and brought treatment to the underserved areas. I owe and grateful to Nigeria from raising an ojuelegba boy and making me professor of surgery 100 years ago or so Britain was as depicted by Charles Dickens in Oliver twist. I am patient that with contributions of more forward looking Nigeria who believe in sowing that even when I am no more Nigeria would be the envy of all irrespective of our so called insensitive leaders and politicians of which we privileged educated class are part of. Cheers

Life is not balanced, the UK is beautiful in its own ways so also is Nigeria. Let's be grateful to God in all situations. There are things you enjoy in the UK that are not in Nigeria and there are things you enjoy in Nigeria that are not in the UK, that's what makes each country different. I love UK and I love Nigeria ❤

[@afrikanheritage99]

Speak for yourself.

[@samuelokwusogu3130]

It's a good thing some of you are beginning to speak up. When I present these facts to folks who are frantically trying to leave Nigeria they usually just brush it aside; some who left recently have confirmed same. Nigeria is blessed.

[@julesjay943]

You people should stop all these complaints and go home instead. Gratitude is key. Your friend could afford all those things in Nigeria because she lives and works abroad. If she was living in Nigeria all along, she wouldn’t afford to pay two house helps, probably a comfortable house, driver and other enjoyments. So y’all chill or go back home. I’ve lived years in the UK and I don’t discourage anyone who wants to come over. I travel to Nigeria every 2 years and my husband travels once or twice a year. He’s currently in Nigeria because he traveled in December. Nigerians are not the only Africans in UK but they are all over the internet complaining and will never go home. If it’s not easy, just go back.

[@fatfarmers7360]

Is there anytime Nigerians don't complain? It is the order of the day for Nigerians to complain. It is a culture.

[@tjking15]

You pick the only aspect of what they can afford and what they cannot afford, the Nigerians complaints go beyond that, why did you think all the Britain stadiums and pubs are full to the brim every Friday, Saturday and Sunday? That is their upbringing, with that they catch fun, they are happy and forget about the boredom and stress from other daily routines, the weather and lack of community coherence make it difficult for Nigerians to enjoy their own way of socialisation.

[@julesjay943]

@ it boils down to complaints. If you don’t like where you are, and nobody forced you to bring you, you can leave without making fuss about it. I know what I’m saying. Nigerians are really over doing it and it’s becoming somehow. They are not the only Africans abroad. In Nigeria guys go to bars and clubs to ease off stress too. It’s not easy anywhere, the difference is in the location and if anyone honestly don’t like it abroad, they can quietly leave and go back home without making noise about it all in the name of content or try to discourage anyone that’s my point.

[@afrikanheritage99]

Do you know what it takes to go home financial wise??????

[@afrikanheritage99]

​@@julesjay943 No, people should talk about these experiences to stop OTHERS FROM MAKING THE MOVE THAT WILL ULTIMATELY RUIN THEIR LIVES. THE WESTERN MEDIA PROPAGANDA NETWORKS HAS CONSISTENTLY LIED AND DECIEVED THE WORLD PAINTING THEIR COUNTRIES AS UTOPIA, WHOSE ROADS ARE PAVED WITH GOLD 😡😡😡 AND MILK, HONEY FRESH BREAD SERVED AT DOOR STEPS EVERY MORNING 🌄 It's not. We can't let those lies stand. We can't allow those misrepresentation and false narrative continue to ruin lives across the globe WITHOUT PUTTING OUT A COUNTER NARRATIVE- THE TRUTHFUL VERSION. People doing well in Africa sell all their properties in pursuit of illusion and end up destroying their lives in the WEST- EMPTY, BROKEN AND POOR after 30 years of living in these countries. Many African youths have PERISHED IN THE DESERTS AND HIGH SEAS TRYING TO CROSS OVER TO EUROPE TO THEIR PERCEIVED PARADISE AS DEPICTED BY WESTERN MEDIA. We aren't going to leave quietly without putting the record straight for the growing generations in Africa.

[@kennedychineduokafor2129]

Not everyone is tired. UK is not meant for everybody pls. Let's be guided.

[@afrikanheritage99]

Believe me and trust me, it's a matter of time for them to break down not even tired 💯

[@Deedee7780]

Abroad is not for everybody. Personally, I don’t regret leaving Nigeria. I went back in 2023 after 14 years, I was counting days to get out of that place. Assessment of your back is important before making a move.

[@princeidiakhoa4101]

Your Nanny is doing for you exactly what you are running away from. The time you then get in Nigeria your Nanny will not get. Dis life no balance.

[@tundebrown]

Chioma I can relate with what you're talking about. I live in America and I can confidently say you are saying the reality. But do not be surprised if those you left behind in Nigeria don't understand how lucky they are staying in Nigeria as we speak.

[@wakaabout9214]

Why not relocate back to Nigeria and be lucky like other Nigerians living in Nigeria.

[@ChuksReal]

This same question I always ask. After getting the British passport. How many times do you travel if you are still working round the clock or a 9 to 5? You are still as any other British person on there who has to grind in d matrix. To me I prefer to be very successful in Nigeria and travel the world when I want bc home is home. Secondly, do people consider the huge price of losing children and generations to the West? This is not talked about very much bc its a very uncomfortable topic. This is the huge price to be paid when you don't navigate this path tactfully. The peace you feel at home especially when you are (comfortable and doing well) is priceless.

[@millycyril7256]

Ikr! I nor kuku marry for London and America! I nor fit for stress of raising children abroad! Any small thing; teacher go invite parents to school! I was not just psychologically and emotionally ready! Nigeria 🇳🇬 is not even safe children as well! Is just God's grace!!!

[@afrikanheritage99]

​@@millycyril7256 I am sure you haven't seen tons of public shootings in the US public schools. The Parents send their children to school alive and got their bodies back. Y'all pick and chose your own reality 😂😂

[@doctort434]

chioma i appretiate your honesty but i assure you your friend's experience is a red herring ang not reflective of the majority of nigerians. most nigerians are depperately poor and are willing to pack shit abroad to make end meet. unfortunately its only the upper middle class that are able to move aborad and it seems they are tired. my houseboy would never get tired if he spent 20 yrs in UK

[@olaniyifadeyi7474]

If you’re tired, then go back. Which kain thing be dis?

[@sylviasworld9397]

The UK depends on what you earn and your profession mainly.

[@PrincelyBesong]

Your message resonates with me so much

[@thevoiceofthetruth4874]

You're not alone my dear.

[@oylegacy]

That hilly area she mentioned is very true. However, so many women hard it even thougher. Not many people say this truth. Our prayer is to have a balance in our lives, to be honest.

[@confidencerose2731]

Thanks for the honesty, I am too

[@helenstudio5468]

same with me, but I want to cashout from live in care, 4200 every 6 weeks , then run back to nigeria, offcourse papers is also essential

[@WiXMe]

I have always encouraged people to live and work in Nairobi, Kenya; it is a wonderful place for living, doing business, and working. Let us consider residing in African countries, particularly Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, Mauritius, and Namibia.

[@castro6190]

Top notch lady. How can one chat with you? I'm also in the uk... almost 3 decades. You have spoken my mind and very well indeed!

[@olu44333]

You are not alone oh, I am equally tired of this Uk to the point of depression.

[@kemi1862]

You better plan well on what to do in Nigeria and return back quick I wish you well in Jesus Christ name amen Nigeria dey sweet long live Nigeria my beloved country

[@clairelast6723]

I honestly don’t understand how people compare apples to oranges. Many people shout about how life in Nigeria is “sweet” because people pay drivers and domestic staff peanuts compared to what they earn. But here’s the thing-nothing stops you from hiring a driver or domestic help in the UK. The only difference is that here, you’ll need to pay them a fair wage, as the system ensures equality and dignity for everyone. The irony is that most of the people who complain about life in the UK are those who benefited from Nigeria’s deeply unequal system. You talked about paying £145 for a hairstylist in the UK, but conveniently forgot to mention earning per hour. Let’s not ignore the fact that the earnings here are significantly higher and more regulated. The truth is, many people don’t actually want fairness-they just miss the privilege of paying others next to nothing for their hard work. Instead of comparing, maybe it’s time to appreciate a system that values everyone’s contributions equally.

[@RafikiAskingPeople]

True

[@Maxinemorr22]

there's no where like home when you have spend time abroad. The spirit is saying it's time to head on home this is not your home . 🤣

[@folasadeEko-k2j]

You guys do not know how priveledged you are to be able to earn in BB dollars and pound. You can only live as a queen here in Naija because of foreign currency. Stop complaining and be grateful to God.

[@julesjay943]

@@folasadeEko-k2j don’t mind them. And they will never go home.

[@kevo7ful]

My sister you are not alone. I am in U.S and we are all ready to go back home if only the basic things are in place back home. I mean, water, electricity, good roads and safety/security. That’s not too much for citizens to ask for. And you are right about the last election. We all in diaspora carry that election for head like Gala; just because we all wanted to change the downward trajectory from the persistent bad governance to good governance, transparency and accountability.

[@afrikanheritage99]

You aren't serious about going back home. YOU'LL WAIT YOUR ENTIRE LIFETIME FOR EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT IN NIGERIA BEFORE MOVING HOME. Who's going to fix Nigeria for you? The citizens of the country You're living in fixed their country for you to find it desirable. Nigerians are very selfish. That's the problem.

[@anitaopara2739]

My sister thank you for this what you did talk to

[@anitaopara2739]

Can I have your contacts please

[@lunno8421]

True talk - living abroad is not for the faint of heart

[@MondayJohnson-s2l]

U are right ❤❤❤❤

[@fadikifuta]

You need to consider the motivations very carefully. You enjoyed being in Nigeria because, based on what you said in this video, you have "help" at highly discounted prices and wages/salaries. Have you considered the daily reality of these people as well? Is house help culture in Nigeria a contributing factor to the kinds of inequality that makes some people want to japa in the first place?

[@Linadlox30]

People at home are even making matters worse.they scare us about how things have gone bad in nigeria.its so terrible,pls don't come back .stay where you are but I know home is the best.honestly abroad is tiring when you have stayed there for years.that peace of mind that you are in your home country matters a lot.

[@ChuksReal]

The goal has always been to go and make a success of your life snd come back. Your roots remain your roots bc its spiritual. Go and get all you 'can' and 'can all you get'.

[@consortiumexpert]

I don't know you, but I live in Nigeria, Lagos specifically. It is traditional media and social media exaggeration. Nigeria is not as bad as they present it to you. If you have skills to solve problems in Nigeria, you will be a millionaire. Nigeria has countless opportunities that only people with a proper mindset can take advantage of. Do not bother yourself about politicians and their corruption. The truth is that corruption is everywhere in the world. All I do is be aware of policy documents that affect my area of expertise and pivot accordingly. Please save enough money wherever you are. Study the economy from abroad; look out for things you can replicate and duplicate at home. See, all the challenges they mention in the media are exaggerated. Peace of GOD be upon you in Jesus name.

[@ChuksReal]

@consortiumexpert You spoke my mind. People should stop using politicians as excuses not to tap into countless opportunities. I keep saying that there are millions of people here who have excelled and excelling without travelling out of the country.

[@afrikanheritage99]

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. FAMILIES AND SOME FRIENDS HAVE AGENGA TO KEEP YOUR HERE TO FUND THEM.

I just like this lady. My dear, GOD be with you in JESUS name. Home is good. The so-called problems that Nigeria has are exaggerated in the media, social media included. Do not let anyone bobo you. The problems are exaggerated. Save and come back home. You will thrive greatly.

Exactly. Its a spiritual thing. That's why I laugh at the ones who recently migrated and say they will never come back to that country (Nigeria)😂. When time comes no body will tell them.. its just spiritual.

[@alvanalvino]

I didn’t visit Nigeria in almost 20 years. I wanted to visit as my families were visiting 3 times a year. I just procrastinated and traveled the West on holiday instead. One day I just woke up and heard the ancestors. Carry your passport, buy a ticket and go home. And I obeyed. I have never looked back ever since. After that first visit I decided that my days in the West are now numbered and I don’t ever want to retire in a he West. I decided to return home and give something back to the nation and society that produced me. I am working on my permanent exit plan from the West. I would be visiting 3-4 times annually for a few years until I stop visiting. Africa is the future, half of my families are there. The air is better there and the warm feel of the sun makes you come alive on impact. Who knew we miss sunlight until we go back home? The weather is very boring and dull and it’s all work, work and more work, Nigeria is fun and a paradise to me explore. And the food? It is divine. May our ancestors punish the bloodlines of our evil leaders for 7 unborn generations. May their lineages be hated and may they suffer all of the evil that they visited upon the nation so the children’s children can pay for the sins of those they came from. And as for Europe? May there inform descendants pay divinely for the sins of their ancestors against ours for 1000 years. Let it be so.

[@alvanalvino]

All patriotic Africans must answer the call of our ancestors. The ancestors are telling us one word. Go back home and plan it, exodus from the West to Africa is imminent within 1 decade. Take your descendants back home with you. Let them serve Africa. Sell your homes and buy mansions in Africa and live like kings as entrepreneurs. Africa is the future and do not pay for the sins of the West because karma is coming for them. Our ancestors have gone to war against them spiritually and they are cursed now. This is the truth. There troubles are about to begin and their civilisation will end. Your descendants trapped there will not fair well. I have been to their future, in that distant future age I fly Africans back home to resettle them. The West were not invaded and they self destructed. This is their destiny and it is the volt way they survive. They must self destruct or their fate will be worse. Get out of there within the next 20 years or you or your descendants will regret it. African migrants will stop coming to the W st for economic reasons within the next 5 decades and they will stay in Africa as western citizens flood into Africa as economic migrants. That is the future.

[@alvanalvino]

It has already started to gain momentum: the exodus of all home brewers to Africa as more and more of us begins to hear the call of the ancestors. Go home on holidays regularly and stop spending your money on western holidays and research your future place back home and how you can contribute and become independent again. There is no where like home. Africa calls for her children. The future is coming. Will you answer the call of your ancestors offspring of the most ancient and only original human beings of planet earth?
