Nigeria: Melissa Okani, a young mother of three, couldn’t believe her eyes when she got back to her home country after residing in the UK.
She wasn’t happy when she left the UK, and she posted a picture to show how she felt at the moment, which got people talking.
Melissa gave serious reasons for her choice to leave the UK and go back to her home country. Many people were caught between trusting her and wanting to see for themselves.
A young mother who used to reside in the UK is happy to be home now that she has finally returned from the UK. She had left the first-world country feeling sad, apprehensive, tired all the time, and unable to find anything that made her happy.
Melissa wrote a heartbreaking message on Facebook saying that she had asked the NHS crisis team for help but was put on a waiting list.
“At the same time, my neighbors kept reporting me, which made an already stressful and overwhelming situation even worse.” I was tired, my kids were unhappy, and every day seemed to become worse. “I was living on autopilot, going through the motions, but really having a hard time inside,” she added.
I had a lot of trouble emotionally, intellectually, and physically, and most people don’t understand why I chose to leave the UK for Nigeria. I didn’t leave because I failed or gave up; I left because I needed to breathe.
During this gloomy time, she realized that coming to Canada was no longer the best thing for her. Melissa is now back home, where she can get the help she really needs.
I left behind comfort, familiarity, and safety I opted to go back home, where I could finally obtain the support that many people would call security. But I refused to let my life and my children’s lives be defined by unhappiness.
I went back to get my peace of mind, to wake up with a smile on my face again, and to provide my kids a home where they could be free and happy. Coming back isn’t always a step back; sometimes it’s a daring stride toward healing and real happiness.

The major lesson i got from this story is that we grossly underpay drivers, cleaners and nannies in Nigeria. Lol
Traveling abroad is a good decision but if you don’t have supportive system, haaa, u go kpai ooo. It’s a lot of stress especially if you have kids.
Daycare is a lot of money and also the stress sef na huge biko. Dropping & picking them sef no be small thing ooo.
Moreover, if u don’t do double work, you can’t pay ur bills and have savings.
It’s well oo

Anyhow sha, I like people who are bold enough to make decisions notwithstanding. But please be careful, people who know yoh believes that you have returned with a lot of money seeing the pictures you posted and the comfort you are in now. Nigeria is no longer a safe place. Kidnapping by bandit or arrangements is everyday business. To be forewarned is to be fore-armed.
