Video: ‘My only regret’ – Nigerian woman in Canada opens up after trip back home

n n

A Nigerian woman identified as Bola who relocated to Canada while her husband and children remained in Nigeria has shared the one thing she regrets about her migration journey.

n

The woman made the revelation in a TikTok video after returning to Canada from a visit to Nigeria, where she reunited with her family.

n

Reflecting on her experience, Bola said she had spent a substantial amount of money during the trip and was left with little in her bank account for about two weeks after returning to Canada.

@bolabeautiphulThis is one big regret I have about coming to Canada. It hurts me so badly and I wish I can turn things around, honestly…#bolabeautiphul#canada_life🇨🇦#nigeriatiktok🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬#regrets#lifeincanada🇨🇦♬ Chopin Nocturne No. 2 Piano Mono – moshimo sound design

Despite her financial situation, she said she did not feel the pressure that often accompanies being broke.

n

“For about two weeks I’ve been so broke and yet I do not feel it,” she said.

n

Explaining the difference, Bola noted that some basic necessities and services in Canada are more accessible, making everyday life less stressful than what she had experienced in Nigeria.

n

“There are certain things that you should not even be thinking about. They should just be readily available to you,” she added.

n

Although she spoke positively about her life in Canada, Bola said her biggest regret was delaying her relocation.

n

According to her, she wishes she had moved abroad in her twenties or thirties instead of waiting until later in life.

n

She also encouraged Nigerians who have the opportunity to relocate to take it without hesitation.

n

“If you have the opportunity, my darling, please stand up and move,” she said.
