UK-based lady heads back to Nigeria
The man who shared the story, @sparobanks on TikTok, emphasised the uncertainty of life in the UK, citing the example of his friend who was heading back home.
She had already booked her flight and was preparing to leave, with no clear plans for her next move, but was determined to find her way once she got back to Nigeria.
According to the narrator, the UK's immigration system can be unpredictable, and his friend was allegedly not the only one facing such challenges.
He used his platform to advise his fellow Nigerians living in the UK to be cautious and prioritise saving, as the situation can change unexpectedly.
In his words:
"COS wahala. She has booked her flight to fly back to Nigeria. UK is not 100% sure. A friend of mine will be travelling back to Nigeria this week. Yesterday when I texted her she said she already booked her flight back to Nigeria. What's the next plan? She said she don't know, but when she gets home she will find her way.

"So why am I making this video? You know sometimes, this country, you can even have COS and the company that gave you, the government will revoke their licence. They can also say they are not sponsoring you again. So if you're here, you're not here to impress anyone. Try to save. She's going back now. Imagine if she doesn't have anything, she will start afresh."
