Signing along to Young John's verse on King Promise's Terminator, Yewande hinted that she was not bothered about people's questions about why she came back, saying her happiness is paramount.

In a response video to one of the comments on her page, the lady wondered why people have been angry about her decision to move back.

She said that success is relative to everyone. Yewande said the first question anybody relocating abroad should consider is what success means to them.

Is living in UK good?

The returnee stressed the need not to advise anyone against relocating to the UK, too, saying people's experiences are different.

"No matter how hard it is . I still feel , someone shouldn’t go back to Nigeria , except you are extremely rich , have a job that pays you a certain amount of comfort that you can afford Nigerian lifestyle. Take it from me . I left Nigeria 2014, and I moved back to Nigeria because I had the idea that Nigeria was too good for me to leave and face the stress of Europe . All my friends advised me then not to go back and at least get my papers but bro I didn’t car I just wanted to go get the happiness in Nigeria. Few months and few years after I regretted my action. Nigeria inflation is massive . My savings got depleted.."

"When people see posts like this, they assume your visa expired or you were deported as if they know the full story. But the truth is, unless you’ve lived it, you can’t really understand. And honestly, I don’t owe anyone an explanation. I’m back, I have my peace, and that’s more than enough for me. Believe whatever helps you sleep at night."
