Episode notes
What's it really like moving back to Nigeria? In this episode of Journey Back Home, we unpack the everyday culture shock of life in Lagos, the pace, the cost of living, the infrastructure gaps and what's actually changing for the better. As two Nigerian diaspora returnees, we also talk about how our shopping habits have shifted since relocating, and the local alternatives that now beat anything imported.
If you're a returnee, thinking about japa reversed, or just curious what reverse migration to Nigeria actually looks like, this episode is for you.
