A Nigerian woman, Dr Adeola Olubamiji, on Friday, May 21, celebrated her nine years anniversary since she relocated to Canada.

Adeola revealed that her zeal to break out of her relative comfort zone was borne out of the great determination to take a big risk. The woman stated that singular decision got her everything she has today.
The risk-taker later became a PhD holder in 3D printing, has a directorship position in a tech company, owns many houses and businesses abroad, among many others.
The woman was in 2020 recognised as one of the top 100 most powerful women in Canada. She disclosed that the country changed her life for good.
A part of her Twitter thread read:
“Thank you God & Canada!!! Thank you Adeola (me) for doing it all the time afraid and taking mad risks. We may come as STUDENTS, but we are determined to OWN THE LAND & THRIVE. So, don’t underestimate us, our zeal and our magic. Forever.”

Another Nigerian shares his relocation story
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man identified as Nonso and with the Twitter handle @Serioussist came online to share his family's relocation story.
In a tweet on Wednesday, January 20, the man said he and his wife left Nigeria, a move that he called a "hard reset", suggesting they were at their lowest low when they did.
Two years after that brave move, in 2021, the family bought their first ever house in Canada, a mark of great success.
