Hey listeners, it’s Flo here with another episode of Migrant Chronicles.
Today, I sit down with Felix Obiosio, a determined lawyer who left Nigeria to pursue his dreams in the UK. In our chat, Felix opens up about how he kept the vision of earning a PhD alive even before he completed his first degree—writing "PhD" next to his name as a daily reminder of his goals. We dive into the culture shocks of moving to London, like sleepless streets and tiny living spaces, and how he navigated early setbacks with accommodation. Felix shares why staying focused on education while resisting distractions is his top priority. He also discusses what keeps him connected to home and why he’s set on eventually taking all he’s learned back to Nigeria. 🌍✈️
If you’ve ever felt torn between 2 worlds or wondered about making an impact from afar, this episode is for you. Tune in, and don’t forget to subscribe and share your thoughts with us!
