Why mum and kids left Canada
In an over two-minute video, the mum of twins and a toddler said she told herself she was not going back to Canada the moment she came to Lagos and hired a house help.
Explaining why she left Canada, the businesswoman said she left Canada because she knew she would have the kind of life she wants.
She added that being in Canada would make her a housewife, a role she thought she is too young for. In her words:
"...When I was doing the send-off dinner, my friends thought," Oh, I was so extra." Honestly, at the back of my mind, I just knew that the kind of life that I want for myself, I can't have it in Canada.
"If I am in Canada, I am going to focus on taking care of the children. But I am too young to tie myself down as a housewife. I am an entrepreneur. I have businesses that I want to do. I have businesses that I am still doing right now..."
Mum's relocation to Nigeria temporary
In the caption of her TikTok post, she noted that the relocation to Nigeria was only temporary, but was important for her and her kids.
"Usually, people move from Nigeria to Canada but I did the reverse.
"This is a temporary move while I put my businesses in place but it’s an important move for my well being as well as the babies."
