Former Banker Stranded in Lagos After Family Move to Canada

Francis Ushie, a former Nigerian banker, publicly shared his personal ordeal of being stranded and homeless in Lagos for nearly 13 years after resigning from his job to join his family in Canada. He believed that relocating would help resolve marital issues stemming from his wife's infidelity.

After their Canadian permanent residency was approved, Ushie resigned from his banking position, paid two years' rent in advance for their home in Canada, and awaited the completion of an audit by his employer, which took almost a year. During this time, his family moved to Canada, and upon his arrival, Ushie discovered that his wife had blocked his number and refused to share her address, preventing their children from contacting him.

Despite the emotional turmoil, Ushie expressed hope for reconciliation and addressed his children through a video, emphasizing the sacrifices he made for their well-being.
