Many years ago, When I was single and living abroad, I matched with this girl on Facebook. We were chatting one day when my sister spoke in the background.
She immediately asked, “Who is that”? I said, “My sister”.
Her response was “Why are you sharing a one-bedroom flat with your sister? You two are supposed to live separately. Even if you must stay together, it should be a three- or four-bedroom apartment!”
I just smiled and changed the topic.
In my head I was screaming, this one thinks life abroad is some soft life compared to Nigeria.
She has no idea that you can be earning the equivalent of N10 million a month… and still watch N4 million vanish on rent alone, N1 million on utility bills, N200k on internet, another N1 million on municipality taxes, and the rest of your big money disappear into transport, food, and just surviving. That’s why it’s wise to stay in a shared apartment and it’s even better when you are with family.
Abroad is not heaven. It’s just a more expensive version of the same struggle, only with colder weather and higher expectations.
Un anciano conducía su Lamborghini a 100 km por hora cuando de repente vio que la policía lo perseguía.
Entonces, comienza a acelerar, 140, luego 150, luego 180.
De repente, disminuye la velocidad y piensa:
"Soy demasiado viejo para esto".
Se detiene y espera a que la policía lo alcance.
El oficial sale del auto y cuando se dirige al anciano:
-"Señor, mi turno termina en 10 minutos.
Hoy es viernes y me voy este fin de semana de vacaciones con mi familia.
Si me da una muy buena razón, pero en serio muy buena, algo que nunca escuché antes, lo dejaré ir.”
El anciano lo mira, piensa mucho y dice:
-"Hace años, mi esposa se escapó con un policía y cuando te vi persiguiéndome pensé que la ibas a traer de vuelta"
"Que tenga buen día señor" - dijo el policía

Incase no one has hinted you, as you're stepping into your 30s, prepare to deal with midlife crises. It doesn't wait till your 40s or 50s anymore, it comes for you in your early 30s.

“When my friend relocated to the UK four years ago, he blocked me and all his other friends. Four years later, he can no longer stay in the UK because of the new immigration policies. After hearing that I’m now in Canada, he unblocked me and started asking how he can move here too. Please block me again the same way you blocked me four years ago.”
