Female lawyer who earned N50k as a lawyer in Nigeria celebrates success as she relocates to Canada

A young Nigerian female lawyer from who once earned a monthly income of N50k, has become an inspiring tale of success after she made the life-changing decision to pursue her dreams in Canada.

Born and raised in Nigeria, where she practiced law, she quickly realized that her career prospects were limited, and her aspirations were outgrowing her current circumstances.

Driven by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a desire to explore new opportunities, she took the bold step of relocating to Canada in pursuit of higher education, a decision she described as the turning point in her life.

In August 2022, she celebrated a significant milestone in her journey as she successfully completed her master’s degree in Canada, a remarkable achievement made all the more extraordinary by the fact that she had received a fully-funded scholarship.

Shortly after her master’s degree, she received another fully-funded scholarship, this time to embark on a doctoral journey.

Without hesitation, she accepted the offer and commenced her Ph.D. studies in September 2022.

Speaking about her transformative experience, she affirmed that leaving Nigeria for Canada had been the best decision of her life.

In her words;

“As a lawyer who was earning 50k monthly, I decided in 2018 to leave Nigeria. I finally left Nigeria to Canada for my Masters in 2020. It was a fully-funded scholarship. I graduated in August 2022 and started my PhD in September 2022. Its also fully-funded. Japa(also known as relocation) has been the best decision of my life.”
