Despite changing her location twice, the lady said there are some things that still bugged her mind.
In a TikTok post, Gift Wogu said she is not ashamed to admit that she was still trying to discover herself.
According to gift, one of the things that makes her unhappy in Canada is the fact that she is so far away from her family in Nigeria.
As a result of missing her family, she said there are many things that she wished she could come back to Nigeria.
Gift also said she is worried she is not working hard enough when she looks at how old she is.
Her words:
1. Sometimes I wish I could move back to Nigeria, but life had other plans. I miss my family terribly. Imposter syndrome is real, and moving abroad makes those feelings worse. I worry I’m not doing enough for my age, especially when comparing myself to others. Since moving, I’ve become quieter, observing my surroundings before being myself. Honestly, I’m still figuring out my life, and that uncertainty can be scary. I even miss the UK sometimes, where I made memories and felt a sense of familiarity. It’s okay to not have it all together, and I’m working on being kinder to myself.”

She said she is married and she has some family and friends in Edmonton where she lives, but there were other family members she was missing.
Her words:
“I’m married, I have friends here too. That’s why I love living in Edmonton. I don’t feel alone, I just miss my family and I’m sad relocation has separated families.”
A lot of people in her comment section shared their own experiences after relocating abroad.
