Popular personality Ugo Eaglet has revealed that relocating back to Nigeria from Austria was the best decision he has made in his life, despite the allure of living abroad.
In a heartfelt message, Ugo noted that many men, especially those above 50 living overseas, secretly desire to return home but often struggle to convince their wives. According to him, such conversations usually spark resistance and conflict in many marriages.
But his story was different. When he told his wife, Jenny Slimzy, about his decision, her response surprised him.
“Anywhere you go, I will follow you. Honey, what are we even still doing here? I’m even bored here, let’s go back to our country,” she told him.
For Ugo, life abroad was becoming overwhelming due to the never-ending bills:
€1,700 monthly rent
€240 electricity bill
€400 health insurance
High cost of food items and cars bought on credit.
“These expenses were just too much,” he said. “I’m not discouraging anyone from travelling—you have to travel to understand. But when you travel and make it, come back to your home country. Instead of paying unnecessary bills there, come back and invest in Nigeria.”
Ugo encouraged fellow Nigerians in the diaspora to focus on building comfort for themselves at home.
“If there’s no light, buy solar. If there’s no water, provide it for yourself. Coming back to Nigeria is the best decision I made this year. Now I sleep like a baby, no more unnecessary bills or expenses,” he said.
Grateful for his supportive wife, Ugo added:
“I thank God for giving me a caring, loving and understanding wife. Jenny Slimzy is the best thing that ever happened to me.”
His testimony has resonated with many who have experienced the pressure of living abroad, sparking conversations about the balance between foreign opportunities and building a fulfilling life back home.
