Hello @seal777! I know you are my set. Still last of the visa lottery for Nigeria until God touches their heart to include Nigeria again. Can we connect?

seal777:
Its exactly 10 years today I relocated from Nigeria to the US through the Visa lottery program, unfortunately our batch was the last one before Nigeria was removed. I won the visa lottery after 17 try.

Took me almost a year to get my foot on the ground. Visited Nigeria a year and half later to check on my family, wife and son, They did joined me over six years ago, I have been in and out of Nigeria five times till date...…..wish I could make it every year but with children its a bit difficult.

One good decision I took was to start and complete my retirement home in Nigeria before my family joined me, much more easier as financial responsibility is huge now. I have had two more children since they arrive, its now a family of five with three sons.

Its a rare privilege to which I will eternally be grateful to God...….Lastly I have missed Nigeria every single day for the last 10 years and always looking forward to the day I will return back if opportunity present itself or when my children are fully grown.

Wishing everyone dreams come true.
