Exact same story..... My clarity was wayyyy too clear. God needed me to pause.... I was always on the GOOOOOOOOOOO, I needed to see, touch and feel my family .... 6+ years !!! AHH!!! All my friends were moving to Canada, UK etc... But I kept hearing GO HOME and I promise you, home has done wayyyyy too much good for me. GOD IS A CONSTANT.

[@samanthaivancsik]

I love to hear that ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@davidexodus5118]

i recently ditched a visa interview to travel to the US ( i got a job and the only thing keeping from starting is my Visa) and last week, the morning of the interview, i refused to leave my house for the interview after flying to Lagos from Abuja for just this interview. something kept telling to stay back in Nigeria. seeing your post gave me the conviction that it was God telling me stay back because why do i find soo much peace in this decision that doesnt make sense?

[@followGreatness]

Good for you.

[@naijagatekeeper101]

You won't regret it, trust me

[@aminabello2454]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ola...o1009]

Wrong move. Much smart to have homes in both regions. Better to get remote jobs then come back home. The USA is a lot more fast paced or aggressive, but if you fall in somewhere like New York you can always get up quickly & keep moving. Life is not easy, embrace that pressure if you don’t want your kids to suffer

[@ladaroni9588]

You already have a Nigeria passport by birth now you have an opportunity to have both Nigeria and the blue passport. Kindly check if it's God speaking or the fear of the unknown.

[@okioladaniel]

I took a similar decision few years ago after traveling to UK,Canada,America,SA and I immediately saw why God told me to remain in Nigeria….there’s safety in obedience to the instructions of The Holyspirit. Keep praying sis,he already said he’ll answer you and show you things to come.❤❤❤

[@samanthaivancsik]

I’m so glad to see this❤️❤️

[@okioladaniel]

[@AngelaTooReal]

Saw this clip & decided to click on it. First of, I’m sorry to hear about your Mom, I hope they found her safe & sound 🙏🏾. I’ve been wanting to move back home for a decade now because I’m tired of Europe & I’ve always said after I graduate I’ll move back home to Kenya. Graduated 7 years ago & I’m still in Europe lol because I wanna hustle to establish something to make an income back home but honestly I get more & more irritated living here as the years go by 😮‍💨. God has unfortunately not given me the sign to move back yet 😩. Our people need to understand that there’s nothing here in Europe, but suffering after suffering with a lot of racism in the mix. It is well I wish you well sis 🙏🏾

[@samanthaivancsik]

Yes, she was found after three days, that is a story for another day. Definitely, I can imagine. Europe has its own trouble. Just spend time with God and he will give direction on what to do! I wish you the best Angela

[@queenelizabethejames]

Sweetness you’ve just helped a grandma of 12. Though I was born in UK I don’t like it here anymore and have been visiting home as I am so desperate to move back since mum passed and I brought her corpse home 2016 but my eldest doesn’t like home I pay she does. She is the reason I’m still here due to m her children who loves to see me more . Thank you I’m from this day going to pray about it and home I come . I beg the cold is hurting my knees but when I’m back home no knees problems or bone aches. Thanks a million.Congratulations on your decisions to listen to HIM . Keep the fresh food I’m coming o. ❤✊🏾✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

this is really great. Success for us as Christians is walking in Obedience to God's will for our lives, because in the end, He's all that really matters.

[@Bkintariah]

You got it, the chief benefit of walking with God is that you were privileged to find the God you were created to worship. Not that you will get “stuff” because you worship him. That a dead man is made alive to live eternally in this world, and the world to come with Jesus. There is nothing that can surpass this as a blessing.

[@officialatm001]

Obedience to the will of God, Knowing what God want you to do, and believing in it, It might be rough at the beginning, but trust me, He that gave you the instruction will come through for you ❤

[@Globalleader_]

Lessons. 1. Now faith is 2. All things work together for good to them that love the lord and are the called according to his purpose. 3. I cannot love myself more than God loves me, i cannot have a better plan more than what God has for me. Thank you sam, God bless you for this 👍

[@naijagatekeeper101]

Wonderful and inspiring❤❤❤ You have to be security causious, like dont just bring in anybody who call themselves artisans to your house to fix things like plummers, carpenters etc some of them are criminals and study your environment. They plan kidnaps, house buggle etc.. be careful how you give out information to people close friends or not, cos you returned from abroad you can be a target, then watch your lifestyle. You can dress down and even put on bathroom slippers while going to the bank sef😅

[@trillblk]

Thank you for this. Keep walking jn THE WAY. Many have and many are still falling away. But He will not suffer your foot to stumble. Blessings, from me and my wife.

[@danobi2207]

Stumbling across this video undoubtedly stirred up a curiosity to see and hear the content which is quite interesting and amazing. Having made your decision based on your spiritual discernment and purpose, is something we humans can never understand and relate to. It’s a conviction at an individual level. Certainly I wish you all the best on this path you’ve taken. In my own experience, happiness/joy is something I think it’s intrinsic, may not be in a place or destination. There’s no utopian paradise anywhere on this planet earth. I left Nigeria first time in 2013 as a young ambitious and naive guy, came back in 2015 with a high pulsating expectation of “no place like home mantra”, the experiences I got there still cause me PTSD till date. I eventually left to live in the UK and subsequently US, and having settled in both countries for a relative time, it dawned on me that everyone needs to introspect deeply on individual basis what’s the “push and pull” factor that drive their migration/immigration aspirations.

Leaving abroad comes with a lot of baggage but i love leaving abroad though abroad is not for everyone, being godly isn't easy either because god will put you through a lot of challenges that may make you feel like giving up on him ilove doing god work with little knowledge as to my godly work i treat people around me with respect and love, becouse god put me in this position to do, but is not easy but I'm not giving up thanks sam😊

As long as Nigerian leaders refuse to develop the country to provide jobs to benefit the people. Don't go back.

[@idbim8078]

She is here already as commanded by God. 'and Isaac sow in that land and reaped a hundred fold and the Philistine envied him'. My dear, if you really hear God, it is better you pitch your tent with him than with the richest nations. It only takes God or there won't be people living in the streets of America.

[@TobyAstern]

@@idbim8078 What are you monkeying about? There is God everywhere not just in Nigeria. Nigeria's problem is money pocketing corruption by political leaders. As long as leaders continue to pocket money there will be no development.

[@priscafogss]

Aboard is not for everyone. I see a lot of people making mistake of selling all their properties to come abroad. Huge mistake. Abroad is good when you have documents and even when you have papers you still go through some though time. All we do is work work and pay bills. Life here is not like African. For me I'm happy here . Love being away from home. Hehe nepa no Dey take light for me I'm so grateful for the opportunity's

Honestly the abroad is most times not a bed of roses or a better place than Nigeria. Yes there are some things better abroad than in Nigeria, but to am extent there's anothet kind of peace that you cannot get in the abroad. Only in Nigeria. And yes somany people would like to book a flight to Nigeria tomorrow but if you don't have an okay family to cover your nyansh while you try to get on your feet, it's big wahala. In the abroad you can still survive small even in a minimum wage job. Unless when you run into immigration wahala or health issues. If you have the means to earn an okay money in Nigeria, Nigeria is the place. Abroad is depressing
