A Nigerian woman living in the United Kingdom has said she is unhappy abroad and would return to Nigeria if the country’s economy, security and living conditions improve.

She made the remarks in a viral video while talking about her experience since relocating from Nigeria to the UK.

When asked whether she was truly happy living in the UK, the woman gave an honest response, saying she was not happy, even though she admitted life there was still better than what she experienced at home.

“To be honest, I’m not happy here, but I will still say it’s still better than home. I’m not happy here. I wish to go back,” she said.

She added that she had always said she would be among the first Nigerians to return home if conditions in the country got better.

“I used to tell people that if Nigeria becomes better today, I am the first person that will run back home,” she said.

The woman said she relocated to the UK because of Nigeria’s difficult economic situation and her desire to secure a better future for herself and her family.

According to her, she had spent about one year and seven months in the UK at the time of the interview.

She explained that her decision to move was largely driven by the need to make ends meet, plan for her future and create better opportunities for her family.

“That’s because the economy of our country is nothing to write home about. Currently, Nigeria has no future, has no plans for their citizens,” she said.

“Coming over here is basically to make ends meet, to secure your future, you know, to plan for yourself and your family, you know, just put your plans together and then go back home.

The woman said she would gladly return to Nigeria if the country sees major improvements in its economy and security.

She listed insecurity, hunger and other economic challenges as some of the issues she believes must be addressed before she would consider returning permanently.

“If Nigeria, the economy, all of the challenges, the insecurity, the whole challenge, the hunger—when it becomes a better place, trust me, I’ll be the first person to run back home,” she said.

“For now, I think I’ll still be here.”
