A Nigerian lady living in the United States is self-deporting after staying there for seven years.

The lady is sharing her self-deportation journey on TikTok, and she has mentioned why she chose to return home.

According to the lady identified on TikTok as Joy Markus said she moved to the US when she was just 16.

Joy explained that she relocated to the US as a student and she has since graduated after her studies.

She also worked for a while, but she has now decided it was time to return to her home country, Nigeria.

Why Nigerian lady is self-deporting from USA

According to her, the reason she decided to self-deport was the numerous narrow pathways to becoming a legal resident in the US.

Her words:

"Self-deport with me after living in the United States for seven years. I came to the United States as an international student and despite my best efforts to legally immigrate here, the pathways available have been so narrow that I have decided to return to my home country Nigeria which svcks, by the way."

I am sorry to hear of your plight. But let me encourage and inspire you. Nigeria is not a bad country as you present it. The country will surprise you and you might end up a much better and prosperous person. You’re already assuming you will be worse off in Nigeria, and you are expecting the worse with lower standard of living and joblessness. This is negative mindset and negative energy which will likely mean you’ll struggle when you return to Nigeria. My advise to you is to develop a positive mindset, be hopeful and have high expectations. You can achieve so much in Nigeria because it is a virgin and fertile land with limitless opportunities. Just like you, i returned to Nigeria 6 years after my higher education and i have been very successful. i became a successful banker, investor, entrepreneur and public officer. I volunteer to mentor and support you upon your return and set you into the path of success and great achievements."

"Just got back from Nigeria for vacation. You may wanna think about it again before making that jump. Get married to someone, join the military, go back to school….. anything!… the lord is your strength."
