Couple sells off properties to leave UK
The video was shared on TikTok by the wife with the handle @thisisjessicaokah, who narrated the story behind their decision to let go of their properties.
In the video, the lady explained that she and her husband had to sell some items they had purchased and even fixed themselves, like their bed and chair.
The couple sold several items, including a television, TV console, and a chair, which proved to be quite a challenging experience.

The lady acknowledged that some people might wonder why they had furnished their home if they knew they were leaving the UK.
She hinted that the story behind their decision was complex and not easily explained.
The UK had been her home for four years, making the decision to leave a difficult one.
Despite the challenges, the lady expressed her optimism about the new journey ahead.
She noted that although they did not get the best prices for their properties, it was better than nothing.
In her words:
"After living in the UK for almost four years, I've finally made the hard decision to relocate from the UK and that means I have to start selling off or giving out things that I can definitely not be carrying to where I'm going. It feels like yesterday that my husband and I were struggling to fix this bed for days, but now it's going off.
"Another thing that we are having to let go is our television and our TV console. omo selling your properties is not easy, oh, because you will find someone to buy it for long, some people will even price it as if it's crayfish market. But thank God we are able to get someone that bought it for a reasonable price. Another thing that we have had to let go of is our chair. I know people will be asking if you know you are going to leave the UK, so why did you furnish your house?
"My answer to that is that is a long story and I cannot even get into it now. The UK has been my home for the past four years, so making this decision wasn't an easy one at all. Sometimes I was not asking myself, abi make I just stay, no need to come on. But ah, some things are inevitable and I know it's about to be an amazing journey from here on.
"Even though what we ended up selling these things for wasn't up to what we got it, but ah, abeg, it's better than nothing. I'm about to take you to the journey of relocating from UK to where I'm going to. If you don't wanna miss out on this, hit the follow button and see you on my next video. Bye."
