"I have known Lola for quite a number of years now and I have always been inspired by her focus, determination, and drive. When I moved back to Nigeria it was her advice that helped me navigate the country and helped me navigate the cultures and traditions. Moving back to Nigeria was a decision that many people understood at the time when I moved but Lola saw a vision ahead and followed it, her moving back to Nigeria influenced my own decision as I was able to see a different side of Nigeria through her experiences, her tenacity is what I admire most, her advice motivated me and I am so glad she's sharing many of our experiences, good and bad, to show the reality of relocating to Nigeria." Hannah Olatunji, Marketing Executive, and Entrepreneur "I moved back to Lagos about half a year before Lola did and goodness it was a rollercoaster, although it definitely did help having someone else to share my woes with. I can say that I wish we both had a book like this to read before we relocated, it would have helped us navigate this new terrain better. If you are a returnee or intending returnees, do yourself a favour and read this book, it'll help you a lot." Stephanie Coker Aderinokun, TV host, Actor, and Entrepreneur "I have lived in London, UK my whole life but I frequently visit Nigeria and actually schooled there in part. I have often toyed with the idea of moving back to Nigeria and reading this book has highlighted some of the reasons why it may not be an ideal choice for me right now. As exciting as new beginnings can be there are important things to consider with the hope of maximising your results, I particularly enjoyed chapter 1 "Beyond the glam of Lagos" as I do think it is important to speak about the realities of permanently relocating to a new environment, thankfully Lola doesn't shy away from this and is very honest. There's a lot to gain from this book whether you intend to relocate or not, you will appreciate the honest and balanced perspectives." Atinuke Olukoga, Senior Associate, FinTech "How I wish I would have read this book before I moved! This is a realistic and unbiased account on what it is like relocating to Nigeria, there are some things that I overlooked before I moved and this book covers it, how I wish it was written sooner. Lagos, in particular, is a very fast-paced environment and can take lots of adjusting, though very fun it can serve as a major distraction and thankfully this book gives you tips on how to navigate that when it happens. I enjoyed the honesty and also the jokes, very relatable. I relocated to Nigeria for 3 years, relocating was an eye-opening experience and though I'm now back in the U.K, I do not regret it. You never know where life will take you, I could find my way back to Nigeria again. Well done Lola, it's refreshing to see someone share their experiences in the hope that it'll help another." Lolade Teslim, Legal Project Manager "I have lived in Nigeria my whole life so I do not have a relocation story, however, I do have many friends who come to me for relocation advice. Now, I can simply tell them to read this book! Relocating to anywhere can be overwhelming, relocating to Nigeria can be very overwhelming and this book gives practical tips to make it easy. As an author myself, I truly appreciate this body of work and I encourage even those who haven't relocated to read it as it offers a different perspective to what living in Nigeria can feel like."
