Nigerian woman dumping UK to return home, says ‘better quality of life’ in Nigeria

The unidentified UK based Nigerian woman




A Nigerian woman living in the UK has announced plans to move back to Nigeria, citing a better quality of life in the country.

In a viral video, she explains that living in London has become too expensive, especially with the costs of raising a child.

She also believes that Nigeria offers a more affordable lifestyle and greater opportunities to enjoy life.

Her words: So let me tell you the reasons why I want to move to Nigeria. Ive lived in London all my life, like, born and raised in London, but obviously Im Nigerian, Ive come to Nigeria every year since I was three years old, bar COVID, I just love it here.

But now, in my 30s, living in London, theres so much more bills, especially because I have a child, and life is really expensive, like, hella expensive.

Moving to Nigeria will enable me to have a better quality of life, because Ill be able to afford the things that I cant really afford in London, although Im making okay-ish money. I feel like, in Nigeria, theres just so much more time to see your friends. I dont know what it is, maybe because nowhere ever closes, and everywheres open till like 3 am, but I get to see my friends more.

The weather! The weather! The weather! I just feel theres more of an abundant mindset. Like, theres more black millionaires here, and thats kind of my vibe. I said the weather, right?

Her decision has since generated reactions from netizens.
