Migration is an intrinsic part of life, granting us the opportunity to thrive in unfamiliar territories and lead fulfilling lives. A decade ago, I took the leap and emigrated to the UK, driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to build a life in a foreign land. As I completed my MSc and PhD, I embarked on the path of entrepreneurship, managing two successful businesses.

EP32: The Mistakes Felix Obiosio Made When Moving to London – And What You Can Learn
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. 🌍✈️
