Jenny Jones, a Nigerian lady, has shared her decision to relocate to Nigeria after living and working in the United States for some time.

She revealed that the main reason for her move is the burnout she feels in America, where she says she lacks a sense of fulfilment.

“I’m going to Nigeria because I feel I am burnt out in the U.S and I need a break and I am also starting my clothing line,” Jenny explained.

She emphasised that Nigeria offers many opportunities, which she is eager to explore upon her return.

For Jenny, it’s more than just a move to start a business; it’s a chance to escape the repetitiveness of working a 9-5 job.

“Number one is going to be my mental health, there is no amount of supplement that you will take, there is no amount of therapy that you will do that you will not be in constant battle with your mental health because you are living in a place where you don’t feel fulfilled. You don’t just have that sense of fulfilment, you are lonely, you are bored, you just feel like there is so much you could be doing out there besides the same 9-5, go to work, come back, repeat, and you are two days off, you want to clean, do your laundry, you don’t want to go anywhere, you want to be in bed, and you are just too exhausted, and before you know it, it’s a Monday, and you have to go back, and it isn’t how I want to live,” she shared.

In a series of TikTok videos, Jenny outlined her reasons for the move, noting that the decision to leave the U.S. was difficult but ultimately necessary for her peace of mind and personal growth.

Jenny said she plans to settle in Lagos upon her return and begin her business venture.

She concluded with a strong declaration of her intentions: “So, these are basically all my diaries of moving to Nigeria. And people are like ‘why do you want to leave the US and come to Nigeria?’ And I’m like ‘I don’t want to work 9-5 for the rest of my life. I do not want to work for nobody for the rest of my life. It’s just not how I want to live. Do you see the glow up on my face just talking about the fact that I’m moving to Nigeria?’”

It's great to see Jenny taking charge of her happiness and with Tinubu's efforts to build a better Nigeria, opportunities definitely abound for her in Nigeria.

Burn-out is something people don't take seriously in Nigeria and Africa.. she is free to return home and heal from the mental and emotional stress she is passing through over there.

Please I would love to know the state she's from for naija before I talk about the name

She came to look for husband or baby girl lifestyle all this one na wash. Alot of 9ja babes abroad believe they should not be working and just be enjoying life.

A mother of two who moved from Canada to Nigeria recently and did a relocation video too. I saw her post on instablog last week. Just give this one time she go run back.

When she left "Nigeria" nobody knew about it but since she couldnt cope, she has become and Influencer for some failures who will not make the Country better and at same time will not allow people to japa.

anyways, it is her decision. She should not blame the environment but herself for her lack of fulfillment.

You go cry...na better cry you go cry

She has made money and want to come and buga and possibly find a husband, if not married.

So the gender equality fight na scam las las? How many Nigerian men are financially comfortable to provide the baby girl lifestyle they want alongside the abroad standard of living?

As for the woman who moved to Nigeria, I'm not surprised she spends more in Nigeria than in Canada. It costs a lot to replicate a developed world standard of living in Nigeria. I'm not talking about roads or general behaviour, just normal amenities and having them to work 24/7.

This japada thing go give most people depression and annoyance.

All na. Lie . Na ICE they chase her up and down... Na run sh dey run like this .. trump calls it "self deportation"

Nevertheless, I can understand why she wants to live in Nigeria for the mental wellbeing. It's tough to live in a different environment where your type (culturally and racially) aren't what you were bred with.

Na even United States she bin dey. Wetin others wey dey Northern Europe or China go talk? Na so one girl from Botswana leave Japan in less than a year back to her country. When I asked why: she said she cannot cope. However, her Ghanaian friend still dey gidigba. West Africans and migration

kainji dam was built in the 60s, electricity is not a new technology we also have gas for turbines. Libya was able to provide electricity and warm in the desert. Nigeria own is deliberate as people benefit from the rot.

no matter the circumstances people have been socially engineered to be unhappy. Alot of Nigerian babes abroad still believe in my money my money/ your money our money BS. Did you notice during dirty December more babes came, to come hustle for the few yahoo boys , musicians or politicians . People like odion Ighalo, kelechi iheanacho, davido, Dino melaye etc are the ones sponsoring and chopping them 😂

This one is sex starved.

No one send 9ja babes with their entitlement mentality and olosshism. You no fine reach but nah you form pass. No one wants a 9ja babe even 9ja guys.

Yankee where babes yanfu and are ready to spend on guys. You no reach as per fine levels and your character is toxic.

Not all that glitters is gold.

What's the essence of life?

To live your life enjoyably, and be a positive impact and instruments in building your society, your land and heritage?

Slaving away, being caught up in the numbers, and waking up to see your life is over?

Everyone live as you please, but I think it's more fulfilling to add to the development and growth of your homeland.

SMALL PICKIN talk

Jeni is tired of being single in America, every other reason she gave is secondary and tertiary....as most Nigerian guys in America aren't ready to marry US-based Nigerian ladies.....they only chop and clean mouth, and when they want to marry, they remember Funke from their hometown in Ogbomoso.....Nneka from their Mummy's village in Nnewi and Onome from their small hamlet in Ugheli

Except they desire fun, they shouldn't expect marriage from that class of men. They have to slug it out with home based women for the moneybags who want to marry. Carrying their Ndi abroad feminist mentality is already a no no in most well-to-do Nigerian men, most of whom are very traditional.

Then they should marry African American men even though it's rare for first generation Nigerian-American ladies. Alternatively, they should marry other Africans or races or remain single. They're not alone in the road to singlehood - there is a growing percentage of single and childfree women in the United States.

Na ya tootoo go suffer for sugar zaddy hand if you land for naija

She says she is ciming back to start her own brand and be the boss. On the surface, no problem but come really loaded and be ready to go back if things dont go as planned. People are tired of Nigeria. Some are just greedy and want to enjoy other peoples effort effortlessly.

She is looking for husband and can't get husband in US.

She is looking for husband/knacking and she can't get husband and knacking partner in US. All other stuff just stories.

She wants to start clothing line in a country where people cannot afford food to eat.

Working for people can be killing...u daily think about the company's growth and not ur own growth.

U will toil and sometimes no corresponding benefits and u think that is the way to go.

Pls,come back and enjoy your life here.

Some poor souls might think she is taking the wrong decision until u touch some kind of money,u will know that there is no place like home.

If the Nigerian elite had even half a brain cell dedicated to strategy, they’d realize there’s a goldmine in the frustration of Nigerians in the diaspora. Just fix the basics—electricity and security (yes, the bare minimum)—and watch the return flights flood in. These folks would bring back enough investment and know-how to transform the country in 10 years flat. But no

she is relocating just for peniiis and nothing more!
No sensible man in abroad will ever see a black woman and approach her or ask for a date!

That's why you mostly see them coming back to Nigeria to pick a simps

Good move. People can succeed anywhere

What she needs is self management to deal with the burnout and lack of fulfillment.

Many people in Nigeria are experiencing the same thing and also think travelling abroad would solve it.

It seems you were making a good point until mentioned Tinubu and you just sounded totally out of point.
She is welcomed to Nigeria and if she is determined,against all odds she will be a big hit.

If she didn't come back with enough money she will definitely regret her decision.

If you don’t build your own dream, you’ll be paid to build someone else’s... Employers only pay people peanuts to forget their dreams and build theirs
