A lot has happened since 2009 but one thing that has been constant are my friends. We've been in each other's lives since we met in University and it has been nice to watch us grow.
Life hasn't always been kind to us but we have managed to scale through many difficult challenges. Nigeria has been tough, offering all sorts of problems in career, safety and whatnot but we survived.
Today, we're almost all in the UK and facing a new kind of challenge. We are trying to navigate the perilous waters of the western world and it is not easy, at all.
I was the third out of a small group that moved here and on Monday, one more moved. In fact, right now, only one of my friends still lives in Nigeria.
We are all here for a purpose, of course. We would have all preferred to live in our country but situation behind our control got us here.
We're all spread out in different cities but the UK isn't that big anyway, so I reckon we'll eventually have a meetup between ourselves. For now though, we continue our grind towards a better life.
