UK-based techie speaks on high expectations with relocation

Reacting to the lady's lamentation, Mbah Divinefavour (O.D, MNOA), who migrated to the UK via sponsored work visa, described selling one's properties to relocate as a big risk.

Divinefavour, in an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, said people should always prepare themselves for the worst case scenarios when relocating to any new environment.

"So the route I used to come here was actually on a sponsored work visa, and I'd already gotten a job before I left Nigeria for the UK, so it made everything so much easier.

"I see selling all your properties as just to move to another country as a big risk, and I have never been someone with a very huge risk appetite. Why? Because I know that in cases like that, especially when you don't have anything, anyone, or any job waiting for you over there, I know things can go sideways real quick, and I don't personally have the appetite for that.

"Most people think that when you move to the UK or when you move to a foreign country, everything is going to be fine. I think regarding anything that has to be moving somewhere new, or environment change, you should prepare for the worst case scenario.

"You should imagine the worst case scenario, and determine, are you willing to take the risk? I mean, it could go well. On the flip side, the lady in the article could have made it big in the same, five years..."

Divinefavour also blamed people's predicaments in new environments on their failure to plan adequately and high expectations.

"I think we have high expectations and hopes, and never a plan or not enough of a plan. If before selling all of the properties to relocate, you have a job waiting for you that’ll be so much better, but if not, one has to consider that if in five years he/she has not made it, would they still be willing to take the risk?
