Family relocates from US to Uganda

Before heading to Uganda, the woman disclosed that they stopped in Lagos to relax briefly with their family, and her children were excited to have pepper in their food.

While noting that her husband could speak Yoruba and Luganda, she said he had to relearn the popular Nigerian language. She said they experienced a reverse culture shock.

She promised to keep her followers posted about their activities. She wrote:

"We made it to Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬!!!!!!!!

"We stopped in Lagos to relax a bit with families there and now we're heading inland! The kids were so thrilled to be in Nigeria and to have pepper in their foods...

"And Pablo is having to re-learn Yorùbá since he'd learned Luganda well, so he kept speaking Luganda to people here, but he's re-learning fast! And I and the kids are experiencing some reverse culture-shock hearing people speak the language we speak knowing that we can't be lose saying private things in public.

"I see our kids shockingly turn heads when they hear people speaking Yorùbá around them. And people are SHOCKED as well to hear our kids and Pablo communicate in Yorùbá. You'll get to see it first once I put the vlogs together. I'm backed up in uploading the vlogs bcos we're still recovering from the stress of an international move and we know you can understand 💖.

"Mama Africa, Your Children Are Home!"

Reason family chose Uganda

The family, in another clip, stated that they were not afraid to start over. They, however, mentioned that they were not starting from scratch but relying on the experience they had gathered.

On why they would have chosen Nigeria, the wife said:

"I wish I didn't give in to all the fearful description about Nigeria that made me choose living elsewhere - even within Africa - over my home country. But we took the big leap to come back home 🇳🇬 and we're thankful we did."

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian couple were ordered to leave the UK two years after selling their properties to relocate.

Man leaves Canada despite achieving citizenship

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Canada-based Nigerian man had left the country after becoming a citizen.

According to the man, he had lived in Canada for 12 years and worked in the country and has also achieved many of his dreams. He wants to change his location and pursue another dream.

"Bye Bye Canada. 12 years ago, I landed in Canada as a young, wide-eyed, and somewhat naive boy chasing a dream — like so many others before me. I came in search of opportunity, growth, and a place to call home. And for the most part..." a part of his post on X read.

Joseph Omotayo, the HoD of the Human Interest Desk, contributed to this report, adding the reason why the family chose Uganda over Nigeria.
