I'll begin my story from 2017 or so when my uncle first travelled to the US...

In 2017, my uncle was able to move to the U.S., and at the time, I never thought it was something that could happen. I always saw moving out of Nigeria as just a dream—something impossible, especially without any financial backing. My plan was simple: finish school, get a job, and maybe, just maybe, something might happen in the future. But the idea of actually leaving Nigeria felt out of reach because it was so expensive.

When my uncle left in 2017, it really opened my eyes. Even though he left on a visit, and I won’t go into much detail about that, it changed how I saw things. Now, he has permanent residency there, and that experience made me realize that living outside Nigeria is actually possible.

...Seeing all this, I realized that moving out of Nigeria was definitely possible. So, I carried on with my life, but I started focusing more on Nairaland. If you’ve been following me, you’d know I used to be very active on different threads there. I was into the Thabo trend, the Poland trend, and even the Ukraine trend at one point. I explored anything that could help me leave Nigeria.

I wasn’t just following the popular routes; I also looked into countries most Nigerians weren’t considering. I got involved in the Estonian trend, and that’s where I met a guy called Bola Mike. Even though I didn’t have the money, I thought it was wise to gather as much knowledge as possible so that if I ever got the funds, I’d be ready to make a move. That’s exactly what I did.

In early 2019, I joined an Estonian group and learned how people were leaving Nigeria with as little as two million Naira. With that amount, you could pay your school fees, visa fee, and even a flight to countries like Russia or Israel for a visa interview. But getting two million Naira was no small feat for me. Still, I made sure I had the knowledge about various routes, like Brazil, the UK, Estonia, or wherever.

I was also very active on the Polish thread. But all this just goes to show how much effort I put into understanding the process of leaving Nigeria.
