According to @Miz_Fey, her children will now grow up in a society where they have more access to opportunities and where success is not entirely a factor of one's connections or nepotism.
She added that leaving Nigeria has also taken the pressure of chasing generational wealth off her shoulders, noting that now she only works hard, but not at the expense of her well-being. Her tweet read:
"Leaving Nigeria has already given my children a strong head start. They’ll grow up in a society where opportunities are more accessible and where success isn’t entirely dependent on connections or nepotism. Because of that, I don’t feel the same pressure to chase generational wealth at all costs. I’ll still work hard, but not at the expense of my well-being."

"I hope that one day we will have a genuine leader who understands the importance of creating opportunities and providing a level playing ground for everyone to succeed. When there are more opportunities for people to thrive, criminality and destitution will reduce drastically."
@Samfizsy said:
"Stop dragging Nigeria into this, good for your children but it’s insensitive to throw Nigerians under just cos your children relocated cos in reality they might not be better than anyone, no be by location my sister. Compare the El Rufai sons and make it make sense?"

"If u believe there’s no connection and nepotism in those places, then u can believe anything. Better to say, not at the scale we see in Nigeria. This same Nigeria prepared them for the task ahead. Be grateful."
@femiakande60 said:
"You might be making a mistake thinking all is well. Every country has its meta narrative. Your new country has its own. You may well discover its bad parts as your children get older. Best hold on to what is good from your land of birth. Blend dont discard. Experience o."
@famo2341 said:
"But still plan for old age. If they don’t have to send you money (even if they want/have), that’s part of the generational wealth journey!"
@chi_quiero said:
"Nigerians come here and still work hard at the expense of their wellbeing. I like that this is your mindset as it regards working. Very sound."
