At the age of 28, Emeka Nwarulor resigned from his job in Nigeria and also dropped out of a master's degree programme he was pursuing.
The reason for taking such tough decisions was that he wanted to relocate to Canada where he hoped to find much more greener pastures.
It was an uncertain journey. His friends and family were worried that he may have lost his mind. But it seemed something was burning in him, so he took the leap into an uncertain future.
On the day he was supposed to travel to Canada, Mr Nwarulor almost missed his flight. He arrived at the airport only a few minutes to departure time.

Six years after relocation, Emeka shares his experience
It is now six years since Mr Emeka Nwarulor took that strong leap into the unknown and he has some great news.
From his LinkedIn wall where he shared his experience, there is evidence that he has greatly succeeded in Canada as he is now the Senior Program & Policy Advisor to the Government of Saskatchewan, a Canadian province.
Looking back, Mr Nwarulor wrote:
"6 years ago I made one of the toughest and most uncertain decisions of my life. I relocated to Canada from Nigeria. I was few months from turning 29, about to miss my first flight to Canada. This would be my first time on an airplane. Yes, you heard that right, the first time on a plane. You can imagine the tension of being on the plane for the first time and you are going to be on the plane for almost a day.
"I had just resigned from a job I enjoyed. I dropped out of a Masters program. I put a pause on the brand I was building. With 3 bags and a dream. I made a decision to move. I remember the uncertainty in my Dad's face when we drove to the airport that day. I remember a colleague telling me that I had lost my fire. As I reflect today, I am grateful to God."
