A Nigerian couple has relocated to Nigeria with their children after living in the United Kingdom for six years.
According to the wife, they sold almost all their properties and packed up the things that were important to them and said their final goodbyes to the UK.
The wife, with the TikTok handle @melissa_oti, made a vlog documenting their relocation journey, starting from their final moments in the UK.
The clip showed the family moving their luggage; when they got to Heathrow Airport and then at their home in Nigeria.
She explained that their relocation was not a forced one, nor was it a result of UK immigration issues, but rather a choice.
Apart from being British citizens, she disclosed that they are Canadian permanent residents, but have closed the door on ever returning to the UK.
Her voice-over in the clip partly read: “…Now, I know what you are probably thinking:
Maybe we had immigration issues, or the UK system finally caught up with us, But no, none of that happened.
As a matter of fact, we are British citizens and at the same time Canadian permanent residents. So, why leave the UK, right? “Well, it wasn’t a forced move. We made a choice.
We decided it was time to go home. To japada (reverse relocation). “Before leaving, we sold out most of our household items, packed up what really mattered and said our final goodbyes to a country we had called home for six years. And yes, when I say goodbye, I mean forever goodbye to the UK.
And honestly, I don’t think we will ever move back to the UK…For now, it is a brand new beginning, a fresh start in our home country, Nigeria.
