A Nigerian mother of three has left behind the comforts of Canada to relocate to Lagos with her kids. The entrepreneur, who has been identified as @chisjourney on TikTok, shared a video explaining why she made the bold decision to leave Canada and start anew in Nigeria.
According to her, the decision to relocate was influenced by her desire to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams and have a better work-life balance. She revealed that she was tired of being tied down as a housewife in Canada and wanted to explore new opportunities in Nigeria.
“I knew that the kind of life I wanted for myself, I couldn’t have it in Canada,” she explained. “If I was in Canada, I would have focused on taking care of the children, but I’m too young to tie myself down as a housewife. I’m an entrepreneur, and I have businesses that I want to pursue.”
The mother of three also mentioned that she wanted her children to experience the Nigerian culture and way of life. She believes that relocating to Nigeria will provide them with a unique opportunity to connect with their roots and learn valuable life lessons.
While some people may question her decision to leave behind the comforts of Canada, @chisjourney is confident that she made the right choice. She’s excited to start this new chapter of her life in Nigeria and is looking forward to exploring all the opportunities that the country has to offer.
Her video has sparked a lively debate on social media, with some people praising her for taking the bold step to pursue her dreams, while others have expressed concerns about the challenges of living in Nigeria.
