Oladunni Nwokocha began her journey in Nigeria, the place she still calls home no matter where life takes her. When her husband received a job opportunity in the UK, she relocated — first to London, then later to Doncaster.
London, she says, still holds a special place in her heart. It wasn’t just the city’s energy that drew her in, but the sense of connection:
“In London, I had more family around me. It was easier to fit in.”
She describes London as a place where you can find both peace and activity depending on where you live — with good schools, transport, and opportunities close by.
Moving to Doncaster was a change, but one she has embraced with grace. She speaks warmly about her neighbours:
“God blessed me with very good neighbours. They are wonderful people.”
And although she misses the closeness of family in London, she has found community here too — especially through her church, where she appreciates the dedication and hard work of the members.
When asked if she would ever return to Nigeria, her answer is immediate and heartfelt:
“Of course I would love to go back. There is no place like home. My Nigeria will always be my Nigeria.”
Still, she acknowledges the blessings of her journey so far:
“To be frank, I’ve enjoyed it here very much.”
Her story is one of movement, adaptation, and holding onto home even while building a life in new places.
