Another wife helped her husband
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that 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.
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.
