A Nigerian family also succeeded abroad
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man identified as Nonso and with the social media handle @Serioussist came online to share his family's relocation story.
In a post 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.
Nonso added that they left everything behind with the determination to start a new life in Canada. According to him, at the time they did this, there was no family or friends in their new home country.
Two years after that brave move, in 2021, the family bought their first ever house in Canada, a mark of great success.
