Please Nigeria is nice but I will advise you and your partner team up with other prominent UA-camrs before moving there. They can help you find a best place to live and expand your business. Having someone who knows the system helps a lot. If both you and your partner have limited knowledge about which state you want to live in, then please did that. May the Lord grant you His travelling mercy. All the best
Half of the folks who talk negative about Nigeria, have never been. Nigeria is a great place, does it have its challenges? Yes, but name one place that does not have its challenges. I have lived and travel around the world
All that negativity comes from Nigerians telling us how leaving their country is the best thing that a Nigerian can ever do.
As a Ghanaian for business wise Nigeria has bigger market keep going and good luck 👍🏾👍🏾
I’m all for the move. The most successful business owners are risk takers. I wish you and family much success.
All I want to say is I love how brave and tenacious you are, you are truly an inspiration.
What happened to plans to see your dad. Please go and visit your father. Please stay safe and its better to be cautious, rather than get caught out in any scam because you let your guard down. Be safe xx.
Proud of you Rochelle onwards and upwards. ❤
Sad to hear you are leaving Ghana, but I totally agree with traveling and experiencing dif cultures and places! I wish you all a great transition and look forward to watching and learning about Nigeria! Blessings!
Thank you for sharing your family’s journey you don’t have too but it’s awesome that you do! I’m sure it will help someone who
may choose a similar path
Why does everyone keep saying be careful in Nigeria? You kind of have to be alert & careful regardless of where you live. The only thing is living in Lagos will stress you out because simple things are over complicated but you’ll be fine! Especially if you have money.
been waiting for this drop❤!
Admire your adventurous side so much. As long as your children are happy moving, no one else’s opinion should matter. Trust your instincts look how well they have served you. Wonderful vlog…thanks💋♥️
Love ur perspective, good luck as you prepare to relocate ❤️
I wonder if the original house would be willing to still let you move there, they Might be understanding. Also maintain your faith it has got you this far , there will be bad anywhere u go. It’s so amazing to see u literally building an empire as we watch!
I might be wrong on this one,but why not invest all this money into purchasing a land in Nigeria, stay in your rental unit in ghana while construction/almost complete, then move to Nigeria without any stress
Have you tried Nigerian property center website? Id suggest you look at houses only in areas you want to live in- I don’t know what part of Nigeria you’re looking at but I’m guessing Lagos. Be careful of areas that are flooded, they won’t look that way now, only in a couple of months. Ask the neighbors.
Rochelle, your skin is glowing! Please share what you are doing to get that glow 🙂
I hope it all works out for you, the kids, your partner and your business! People will have a lot to say, they don’t know your life, you know what’s best for you and your family.
Girl you bossed UP I'm so proud ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
SENDING POSITIVE ENERGY YOUR WAY … BLESS UP
🙏🏽🌻Thank you for sharing Rochelle🌻🙏🏽iAdmire your perspective😊🙏🏽Enjoy the journey😎🙏🏽
Daaang the footage of the apartment looked so good damn feel sorry you lost it maybe apologize to the landlord or makeup crazy reason I’m sure they will take your money back.
As long as you take your kids with you, move as much as you want. Plus I feel your kids are very mature now in comparison to when they were younger, so they can appreciate the beauty and opportunity of getting to see different places and countries.
I wish you well and happiness in your endeavors ❤❤❤
She dey follow a man across Africa. Good luck in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
How did you come to this conclusion? 🙄
@@4thaluvofeverything Exactly!!! Some people just comment without thinking
She moved on her own to Ghana.
Isn't it better and safer to travel in twos or threes across the world?. Why are you such a bastard respectfully?.
I think it was influenced by man she did say they have a car in Toronto
Some of you making negative comments about Nigeria have never been to Nigeria so what is the point anyway
I qaurranty you she is going to grow her business in Nigeria more than 5 times compare to Ghana due to large population and high demand
Congrats and good luck on your move ! Your hair looks amazing ! Why does it look like you’re in pain 😢 have you doubt with the jaw issues ?
Pretty tough embarking on a house search w/o using your Nigerian friends or your partner's Nigerian family.
Business wise, good time to go cos the currency value dropped meaning things are cheaper & people will work for reasonable wages. Gd luck.
You will experience another level of life in Nigeria, "IS AN EXPERIENCE"
Good or bad?
@@user-kx3xx5vt3n EXPERIENCE IS AN EXPERIENCE WETHER GOOD OR BAD IS AN EXPERIENCE. I HAVE GIVEN ROCHELLE ADVICE ALREADY THAT SHE SHOULD SEND NAOMI AND JORDAN TO CANADA BEFORE MOVING TO NIGERIA
@@Jamas-rb1mfThere are plenty of foreigners and thier kids living & doing well in Nigeria, she & her kids will be just fine whatever decision she makes
I am a military brat and ex military wife. At one time we moved every 6 month or year and I turned out very well and so did other military children that I still keep in touch with to this day our lives are great. We’re all educated, some of us own our own businesses, run companies, some even joined the military, etc. you can still have stability with moving as long as you have a strong foundation. My two children even turned out very well graduate, high school went to college have good jobs etc. it’s all about what the parent or parents instill into their children. Some parents are just lazy whether they move all the time or not. Their children are just not their first priority so they struggle in life. I am very glad to have had the experience of traveling to different places overseas and in the states. Visiting other countries was very educational to me.
Prioritizing the children is so important. Unfortunately for a flighty mom children won’t express their true feelings as they just want to be near and be loved. Probably terrified of being separated again
Living in army barracks is a different to ordinary civilian. Security is the major topic here
I highly doubt moving around often in the military and moving around often as a civilian are the same experience
if any of you had the opportunity that she is given her children, you would all take it. it’s no different than out here dating, and don’t know who you are bring home to your children. A lot of children lives are taken by their parents and their parents choices of partners. The bottom line is, she’s a grown woman who is trying to provide a better life for her children just like any other mother. her children are very outspoken and lived in Canada before they moved to Ghana with her so if they felt like they were in danger or were tired of moving, I’m sure they would tell her they want to go back to Canada. Her children are very vocal when expressing themselves. And traveling overseas with the military it’s just as dangerous as a civilian traveling overseas if not even more dangerous because we become targets because of bing apart of the military.
@@Nativeheart-ht1tv Assumptions and a very bad comparison. You should absolutely be very cautious about bringing anyone home to your children who is a romantic partner to avoid that horrible situation. Plenty of people avoid bringing anyone around their children until they know it's a very serious relationship that was not a good comparison at all. Rochelle doesn't seem like she would bring just anyone around her children. Also nothing you said negates what I said that traveling as a civilian and as a military family are different. You actually emphasized it with your point. My cousin who is basically like my sister is a military wife and mother. Her and I traveling the world with children just wouldn't be the same.
I have stayed in that property before @9:00 , and I last stayed there late last year when I came from the UK. I also actually personally know the people that bought the property, they are down to earth and if there is any problems they contact the people they have left to manage it, and come to sort it.
Not everyone is a scammer, businesses will be run differently all over the world, for example Nigeria and America will be different, due to the different cultures etc. Hope you find a place though ☺️
Hi Rochelle, can you make a videos about places to stay if someone from canada wants to visit ghana?
Kids are adaotable. I lived in different countries growing up and went to many schools. I did fine. My education was fine. Your kids will be fine. It will enrich their world view too.
That’s what I think!
Whats happened to your trip to Canada with Boop-Boop🥰😘???
How is your Dad doing regarding his Health... I hope all is progressing well🙏🙏🙏
rochelle dont forget to visit Abuja, nigerians main capital city and Calabar state.
I’ve been wanting to ask for a while… would Naomi and Jordan be open to doing a video of the transition from living in the GTA to living in Ghana/ Africa in general?… ofc if you would be okay with having a video like that on your channel.
I’d be interested in their experience as well
Like before watching 😅
The whole of Sounthern African countries and Kenya which is East Africa is month to month. Six month to a year sound like they don't have rent control. It's crazy.😊
Since you brought it up I was wondering do the kids fathers get too spend time with kids since I think you are Canadian
In Southern Africa you pay rent on a monthly basis. The only mandatory thing is deposit which is equivalent to 1 months rent ❤❤❤. Hope you find a good home.
Oo. Interesting!
Love yah Rochelle my cousin
May the Lord shine His face upon you darling Rochelle, may He be merciful to you and may His grace cover you always in Jesus Name
Yes, in Jesus name!!!!!
Be pure minded about everything. Honestly don’t be afraid and if the guy returns you money then he is honest. Nigeria is fine they live in constant fear because of media consumption. I think Nigerians are the best and you will form the best relationship with them. Be kind and respectful.
I think this whole situation was just god telling you to keep trusting your intuition. Normally when your on the right path a lot of ppls fears project onto you. You’re giving me African queen energy so keep going.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️!!! I’m not saying that you shouldn’t ever be suspicious, but I personally feel like when you allow GOD to lead you, HE will bring the right people to you in every situation!!! When you are a daughter of GOD, you should expect great things!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️!!! GOD BLESS ALWAYS!!!
Exactly!!!! 💯💯🤍
This statement is true, yes. My skepticism is that I don’t believe it’s GOD that’s leading her in this situation it’s a man.
"Cause I wanna move" lolol.😂
I am a Nigerian Canadian and I reside in Vancouver, British Columbia. Getting an apartment in Vancouver too is stressful too. You fill form and get your credit score. Everywhere has their own challenges and procedure.
Moving around is Great for kids it’s the best education in my opinion. I’m a Nigerian I consider myself well travelled. I follow my instinct and use common sense when especially in regard to financial transactions. I’ll never part with money without. a Receipt, even when you go to return items in the Uk you can’t get a refund without a receipt. The fact that that the estate agent gave you back your money is a good sign. Scammers will take advantage where you slip up and that’s anywhere in the world. Enjoy the best of Nigeria , its plenty 🤗
House hunting in Nigeria is not child’s play
Its good to explore.Makes you appreciate the comforts that exist in sensible countries.❤
Truu
Rochelle, cleanse and check the whole house before you stay there. Some crazy cases about creeps installing mini cameras recently made me paranoid. Just be careful.
Are you serious? Not in Nigeria. I know we have bad reputations but this camera thing is not one of them.
Why are some Ghanaians soo SHAMEFULL must you Lie because you want her to stay in Ghana???
You are probably make up your mind already about your move, just be careful with the partner of yours. You went to Ghana without a partner ,you managed to establish a business. You are moving because of him, which is fine,but be careful that everything goes well for you.That’s all I will say. Good luck , Ghana will missed you. Moving to a different country is always exciting but it also comes with a price to pay sometimes things always don’t go well, I wish you best of luck.
Wow, why are Ghanaians soo NEGATIVE minded about Other African Countries?? What type of Inferiority Complex is this???
Yes, rents are paid in advance yearly, and you don't have to worry about it for another 12 months.
Really negative people on here. Of course someth8ng new will have its problems. Everyone has to go through experiences to gain know.edge. She is not stupid, just inexperienced as we all are. I think the fact that you have this knowledge that she is sharing if you decide to move to Nigeria or Ghana is invaluable.
I wish there was a way to operate your business in Nigeria while living in Ghana. You and the kids seemed really settled in Ghana.
I feel like your basing your move off of your experience visiting Lagos. Lagos has has nice restaurants and fun night life, but living there is totally different. It is wayy more fast paced than Accra.
Yes. I know it faster than Accra. But that could be a good thing. It does get frustrating working in such a very slow culture sometimes
Especially coming from Toronto… Ghana’s slowness is a huge adjustment
That is true. She may like it better since it’s fast paced like Toronto.
@@yahanmensah5102Exactly!!! Besides if she wants a slow paced environment, Abuja, Nigeria 🇳🇬 is very slow paced and she can also do her business there
I think the Nigerians just think way faster than Ghanaians and that's good for business. I've never heard of Nigerians lacking critical thinking skills like how most Ghanaians do.
🚨 Always Always Always get a receipt when paying for anything with cash especially thousands of dollars. It doesn’t matter what country you live in. It’s just a smart thing to do. You never know what might happen. 🚨
You should say House hunting in Lagos, Nigeria is difficult. That's because Lagos is congested or over populated.
Is not the same in other Nigeria States. Other States in Nigeria are easier and cheaper
Nobody told you that you can ship to Togo? I have heard that a lot of people ship things... Including cars, to Togo then drive it to Ghana to save on high duties.
Wow, thanks for sharing. Imma look into this.
As some one who moved to Jamaica, I support your move to Nigeria.
I know what it is like when your country has a bad reputation. For example Jamaica is a 1000 times better than it's reputation. I love living here. However, house hunting here is very very difficult cause most people here don't move much so you have to depend on word of mouth to find a place to rent or buy if you are not looking in Kingston, Montego Bay or Ocho Rios. So I totally understand how frustrating it is to find a home in Nigeria.
💯💯
Girl don’t compare Nigeria and Jamaica bffr
@@bonita6231
Keep quiet... Nigeria is peaceful
@@bonita6231 Why you Ha+ing bruh??😂
@@Mkym365 no one’s hating, there’s no comparison
Thank you for sharing but I think there is a level of shelteredness that comes from being raised in Canada. Giving the woman thousands of dollars without proper documentation from her was a mistake that being some what naive and too trusting has lead other people to calamity. I pray that you live your life but heed the warnings and wisdom…..don’t be gullible not everyone will show you grace…..However may God cover you and your children 🙏🏾
Well said❤
Totally agree. Very irresponsible actions to take when 3 kids are involved. All just because you feel like moving? That’s wild. And, I wouldn’t want people watching to think they could do the same thing and then it end badly. Rochelle and her partner need more guidance from people who actually know what they are doing. Is it possible to stay with family until you figure it out?
Canada has a lot of scams going on, job scams, etc. She needs to be careful in dealing with money wherever she is.
Dang these Nigeria comments are not so good. Why move somewhere where you have to constantly watch your back? 😳
the comments are coming from insecure ghanaians.. they hate Nigerians for real
Don’t mind the clowns. Many of these people have never even lived there
There is a reason why Nigerians themselves can not stay in their own country. They have run away to every other other in west Africa. The numbers speak for it self.
I'm Nigerian. NONE of these people have actually been in Nigeria, so its always just so goofy to us. It's like being from Northern Europe and everybody telling you be careful of those black people when you get to America, as if a black person will "pounce" on you once you alight the airport. That said, some Nigerians ourselves are overly-dramatic and contribute to the narrative (and then complain when others pick it up)
Nobody in Nigeria constantly watches their back. The moment you get there and see people carrying on with their lives, you forget all the stories you've heard. That's how it works.
Its the times...lots of evil and scamming and wickedness happening. Be careful and think of your children and families safety, including yourself, first.
God will lead you to the right place, Rochelle👍🏾💜🙏🏽
nigeria is the scam capital of the world
Same things happening in Ghana🇬🇭 especially with Ghanaians 5camming African Diaspora out of Lands they paid for point is she should be just as careful being in Ghana as in any parts of Africa or the World 🌍 at Large
A lot of White people Living & Working in Nigeria 🇳🇬 as well as in Other African Countries, I believe she’ll be just fine…
My dad was in the military and we moved around every few years. I loved that aspect of traveling. We got to do things that many haven't and may never get an opportunity to do.
You are a carefree person.
As a Ghanaian, nigeria is a beautiful country with many opportunities, dont listen to the fear mongers
Thank you because that’s mostly what I’m seeing in these comments.
Thanks for telling the truth!!!!
Opportunities in nigeria than Ghana? You need better education pretender.
@@aboaboyahciciniko7132 it's not even an argument. Nigeria is far better for business than Ghana.
@@JoStylin so is business what you call opportunities? You are just dumb,Read wide.
It doesn’t matter whether you trust someone or not, it’s money matters 101. When you hand over money, you get a receipt. Simple as that! Even when you get a receipt, you can still be scammed, so do your due diligence and make sure you have some vital information on the receipt like name, address, email, telephone etc. When you have children in tow, you have to be extra vigilant about who you give money to. You don’t want to end up sleeping in your car.
Exactly, no one on America would ever leave somewhere they put thousands of dollars down and not get a receipt,, many people go to Afrika and lose their common sense, respectfully
If she paid using a Nigerian bank account, she would have a transfer receipt.
Its so funny that most of the people discouraging you to move to Nigeria do not even live in Nigeria. Nowhere is perfect and yes you need to know how to move but there are over a million people living in Nigeria who are fine
Actually, there are over 230 million people living in Nigeria.
Ghanaians are simply very insecure and too petty.
Go to Nigeria, you will be happy there.
Experiencing the whole continent is not feasible… sometimes you have to settle, settle down for the kids and a peace of mind
Are you not visiting your family in Canada again?😔
You’re just like me roti. I don’t feel like people are out to get me. Because god is covered me. I go with it and what happens happens. Ya know
When you are in Africa you have to be suspicious of everyone and family. Don't get scammed before you get a wake up call. Many of us have been burned. Just by you saying you don't feel suspicious is making it easy for the scammers.
Hi I Think You Should Stay In Ghana How Dose Your Kidds Feels Living There Friends behind.😊
You should’ve known better to get a receipt , come on Rochelle
You should have gotten a receipt
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Good luck with everything!! I’d love to visit Africa someday! Cancers are very trusting.. we can’t help it!! 🤣😂 🦀 ♋️
The mega rich keep their kids in the same place…they have to luxury of not inconveniencing their kids…now the parent might travel often for work but travel back and further…the parent is generally the inconvenienced one…as for military that’s a job and those people don’t have the same luxury when it comes to raising their kids…giving your kids a stable environment is truly a luxury that not everyone can afford. That’s how I see it anyway
In Jamaica I know there here are legit sites that advertised properties. Sometimes some of those sites, are late in updating them. Also, if you don't like or cant afford what your Agent shows you, they can contact their other Associates to show you their properties OR your Agent can takes you to those properties.
Congratulations on you trying to open business in Nigeria. I have no doubt that you are going to succeed doing business in Nigeria especially with your good sense of judgement. Unlike your partner who seems to be a bit out of touch with the country that he's partly from. Scamming business is no longer a big deal in Nigeria any more and the people that were involve in it back then prefered to do it outside the country than scamming the investors that are already in the country. And like you rightly side, scamming is not just a Nigerian thing, it's everywhere.
I pray that your business blossom in Nigeria that you will return back here sooner to testify of it. You and your partner will like it in Nigeria, there so much decent cities other than Lagos to cover if you are ready!
Hey Roro, how are your parents and sister doing?
JUST MOVE TO NIGERIA WITH THAT PARTNER OF YOURS AND TAKE THAT DRAMA THERE WITH YOUUU!!!WHAT ARE YOU REALLY SAYING???WHY DIDN'T YOU RATHER ASK FOR A RECEIPT ON THE PROPERTY YOU MADE A DEPOSIT FOR INSTEAD OF ASKING FOR A REFUND???THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
Be very careful in NIgeria and make sure your children understand that Ghana is very different from Nigeria. So proud of you business owner. You are so impressive.
Damn.
No need to be "very careful" just because it's Nigeria. Anybody moving to a new location has to be careful. All she needs to do is her due deligence and get a trusted local to avoid paying above the market price for anything. Luckily her partner has roots and some contact in Nigeria. The family will thrive anywhere in Southern Nigeria. The children will totally forget Ghana after 1 year.
There are bad and good people and there is crime related activity in Ghana. Stop trying to paint Nigeria with bad brush.
@@saggisokThank you👏👏👏👏 I tell you, these Ghanaians 🇬🇭 are truly Bad people
Get use too the scamming
Mighty god so somebody coulda be Jamaican & Nigerian ?????? Sounds lethal 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come to London, there are many mixed Jamaican and Nigerian people...
Why is it Lethal?? Aren’t they simply Human…
😂😂😂😂😂
lol i thought the same thing lol
This is the reason why scammers prey on Seniors and foreigners because they trust everyone, you’re a Canadian so you’re not use to certain things. Therefore, it’s obvious that you would not question things. I’m Jamaica so whether someone is genuine or not, we automatically don’t trust anyone and it’s becuz we’ve grow up knowing that ppl are hostlers
Please visit Abuja. It is a softer landing.
I fully appreciate You and Your Partners wishes to be face-less on your vlogs...
Yet... it would be nice to know how you both met... : ) 🥰😍❣
Why
So if you have relatives ( your partner's) family. They should do the foot work in finding the homes for you too and just video the proprty or video call you to see the property.
In the U.S you have to bring a letter from your job, stating lent of employment, a notarized letter from your former landlord, pay stabs at least for the last three to more months etc, et.
Good luck in Nigeria.!! Is it in Lagos or Abuja?? Tell your partner to lean onto his relatives or friends for support in navigating Nigeria. You will be fine. Just dont be naive.
Yes, Nigeria is one year payment up-front. Its hard to get rent from folks in Nigeria . So we would rather deal with that headache once a year.
As a Nigerian, they ask many ridiculous questions not related to what you doing.
Opening a bank account is a nightmare
Will the kids be moving back to Canada anytime in the future?
Potentially in 1 years time
I was wondering why you didn’t stay in the other apartment and moved back to the old apartment and do you own that apartment that’s why you were able to just go back? to that apartment. I was a little confused if you wanna share or if not it’s OK.😊
She shared three videos ago
Ummm excuse me we would love a vlog sit down something anything damn Rochell a few moments of your time ma’am please 😂😂 no really I’m having withdrawals honey ❤❤❤❤
Rochelle stay in Ghana , you shouldn’t and move somewhere with our really getting a feel for the place
Wait isn’t Jordan in school? Will he have to start over again with school and friends?
Had no idea it was that difficult finding a place in Nigeria...
Overpopulation maybe?
@@BlackBeauty-yl8uqmumu
@@BlackBeauty-yl8uqit’s too much scamming going on there lol my friend got scammed pretty bad
Not difficult. Nigeria is way bigger than one person description. She means Lagos to be specific the Island of lagos hence why . Everyone wants to live in that location
@@N.1lza you're one of the greedy folks that fall prey to scammers. By the way, there are lots of scammers in your country too.
13:20 Did i just see the cleaners ghost? 😂😂
Please just be careful in Nigeria I love my African brothers but be careful
Same way she needs to be careful in Ghana and any other African Country she travels too..
Including being careful in America, UK, and Canada
On the move again? Btw, what exactly do you do for a living? Not being snoopy just curious!
You're quite the nomad or is it restlessness on your part?
She owns Crazy burger, influencer and her partner does his own business as well
Kids are innocent and they probably don’t know how instability will affect them until it’s disastrous.
Remember they probably miss their father as he is in a different country and they are not able to see him at will.
Also I always hear military children complain of feeling lost as their parents become very mobile, usually when they become adults.
All children need stability in their lives but unfortunately sometimes it doesn’t happen.
Do not pay before you see the apartment.
