A lady with the Twitter handle @bolla_bello has gone online to narrate how she and her family moved to the UK from Nigeria within a year.
She said that despite the fact that her family had a very slim chance of relocating abroad as they had no master's degree and over 30 years, things happened so fast for them.

I applied for jobs for him
Before leaving the country, her husband was working as a software engineer and she was into marketing. According to the woman, the man had a better chance of getting a job in the UK.

Since her husband was not interested in the idea of moving abroad, the lady hired someone to rewrite his CV and LinkedIn profile.
Seeing that the man was busy, she started sending out applications on his behalf and applied to over 50 companies in the process.
To make sure she was using the right words during the application process, the woman familiarized herself with some coding languages.
He got many rejections
Out of the many companies that she applied to, only one called him back as he got 49 rejections. He was slated for four interviews in October 2020 and was given the job in December of the same year.
After their visas were processed, the whole family moved in April 2021. Later abroad, the woman also got a job.
