According to her, her father had encouraged her to pursue her educational aspirations in the UK, despite his health struggles with cancer. Tragically, he passed away just two weeks after her relocation.
The lady’s situation was further complicated by her struggles to adapt to her new environment.
She faced financial difficulties, having not yet secured a job and still relying on her father’s support.
With outstanding school fees to pay and a heavy academic workload, she found it increasingly difficult to cope.

In her words:
“My dad died two weeks after I moved to the UK. I got my visa while he was in the hospital battling cancer but insisted that I should go for it. I’m still changing in naira, got no job yet and have an outstanding school fees to pay and the only one who can afford to pay my school fees has left me. It’s been so difficult to concentrate on my studies and I have 6 assignments to submit this month. I have been mentally exhausted, it’s been a lot, I have never been in this position and I don’t even know what to do.”
