Family stranded in UK after selling house in Nigerian

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a woman (@gloriaotikor1) narrated the story of a Nigerian family with five children who were stranded in the UK after they borrowed millions of naira, sold their house and car to process their relocation.

The family travelled to the UK based on the study visa of the mother of the home. On getting abroad, she realised that she would have to apply for a post-graduate visa to be able to work, which cost a lot of money.

Mum relocated her children to America

In other news, a mother, @blackchocolatecovered, who travelled to America three years ago in search of greener pastures, was able to fly her two children to join her abroad.

The mother said the process was hard, but the trouble was all worth it. A video she shared on TikTok showed the moment the little kids were at the airport and about boarding their flight.
