I have been trying to japa since 2019 and has just been unlucky. My first move was Iceland, I got admission to study there and just when everything was about to be concluded, COVID-19 happened
I thought the pandemic wouldn’t last for so long, I held my hope high but before I knew it, 1 year had gone, borders still closed and that was how Iceland pursuit ended with all the money spent.
I felt frustrated because my life was literally paused. I had administrative issues in my 3rd year in school and over 250 of us were laid off. Some had the courage to start afresh in a different university, some dropped out, some left to another department and started afresh.
I didn’t have the courage to start allover again, I lost every appetite to study in Nigeria because I feel the whole money and stress involved isn’t worth it. I wasn’t even studying my dream course because I don’t have 10-11years to spare.
That was my greatest motivation to study abroad. When that of Iceland failed, it got to me but I mustard courage to try again. I contacted a travel agent in 2021 and paid him to process a Canada Visa.
We started the whole process and while at it, I met my husband and we got married in 2022. My hopes were so high, I and my husband decided not to make babies yet because of my travel but I guess God had another plan for us.
I got pregnant and I was so depressed with thoughts of how I would cope alone with pregnancy and nursing a baby. I opened up to the agent and he told me not to worry, that it’s even a blessing because my child will become a citizen and getting a resident permit would be easier.
I felt better after speaking with him, I was so optimistic. We waited endlessly, the agent kept giving me new time expectations. I didn’t even purchase baby items until I entered 9 months because I felt there wouldn’t be a need to have too much luggages when I can easily get them abroad.
It was a long wait, I just occupied my mind with the excitement of being a mom on a short time. I gave my baby and the Visa was still not coming. The more I looked, the less I saw.
It finally dawned on me that the agent has been taking me on a ride with my money. Infact, we are still in the refund process. When my child passed 6months old, my husband suggested we try again.
This time, I told him to apply for a master’s program since he already has a HND certificate and he got admission in Canada. He applied for Visa and added me and our baby as dependents and on 27th November, our Visas were approved.
We’ve landed Canada and I still can’t contain my joy. It’s now I understand that God had another plan for me. I’m certain that if I had travelled in 2019, by today I wouldn’t even be interested in marriage because I would be all about making money.
I wouldn’t have met my prince charming of a husband. If I had travelled while pregnant, it would be so hard for me to cope because I now have first hand experience of motherhood and it’s definitely not a work in the park.
My colleagues in the university who didn’t have administrative issues graduated the same month I got my Visa with my family. I felt bad knowing I was supposed to graduate with them but then I was happier that I have a greater opportunity.
I’m here with my family and nothing beats that. It was worth the wait and actually the best for me. I would enrol to study my dream course whenever I want and that’s a huge flex for me.
At last, God’s plans is always the best even when we may not understand it. I’m certain this land would favour me and my family.”

I ruined my younger sister’s wedding. I’m not proud of it but it was necessary and i have no regrets
so, my immediate younger sister actually, got engaged months ago, & we were all preparing for her wedding which was to hold yesterday. I sponsored the wedding with a sum of 1.5 million naira. Her & her husband-to-be were so excited, continually thanking me every time time we met.
Despite the fact that my parents usually make mockery of me for not having a life partner at my late thirties, I was still happy for my sister & did my best to support her marriage.
The day of the wedding came; the congregation was already filled up in church as the Senior Pastor conducted the wedding. When he was almost through, he paused for a while, faced the large congregation and continue;
“Is there anyone here who has a reason why this union between these 2 shouldn’t hold?” the Senior Pastor asked, the church became silent for a while; the congregation kept looking at the back to see who would make a statement.
“The bride, is carrying my child!” a random man with a full beard said, as he stormed into the church; all the congregations stared at him with their mouths open &bin shock.
“He’s lying! I don’t know this man; I don’t know him!” my younger sister said, bursting into tears immediately. I felt really pity for her, watching her cry the way she did in total confusion
“How am I lying? Remember when we made love together?” The random man brought out some pictures, threw them towards the altar. “I will come back for my unborn child!” The man said, as he ran out of the church immediately.
The Pastor checked the pictures & found out that the pictures contained my sister’s nudes. My sister’s husband-to-be fainted immediately.
That was how my sister’s wedding got ruined. My sister cried bitterly, as I & most of her friends kept consoling her. I felt pity for her, but I had to do what i had to do to relieve myself from future mockery & pressure. I have no regrets. So many people really do not understand what it feels like for a younger sister to marry first, not everyone can handle such depression that comes after, i guess “

Never forget that while you were crying for that person, that person was smiling with another
While you couldn’t sleep, that person slept with another person.
While you were crying every night, that person was going to sleep peacefully.
While you were waiting for that message, that person was sending messages with someone else.
And I did all this without feeling guilt, or concern for you.
The truth is that sometimes an apology isn’t enough, not even an apology, or a sorry. Because many times people feel bad just because they’re discovered, not because they’ve hurt you or despised you.
When you truly love someone you’re loyal to them in front and behind their back.
Forgive if you can, but if you can’t forgive, don’t do it. There are actions that do not deserve to be forgiven nor should be forgiven, nor lies, nor contempt, nor disrespect, nor unfaithfulness, nor betrayal.
And if you have to cry do it, but then get up and move on. That’s the best and only revenge that doesn’t hurt anyone
