Love Leads Russia-Born Actress to Embrace Nigeria

Russia-born Nigerian actress and content creator recently shared the intriguing reason behind her decision to leave her homeland and establish roots in Nigeria.

During a candid conversation on The Time podcast, hosted by Victoria Gure and Folasade Abimbola, the talented thespian opened up about her journey of love that led her to make the life-changing move. With a heartfelt admission, she revealed, “I came [to Nigeria] because of a man. I was in love. I relocated to Nigeria in 2020. I’ve been here for three years now. And it’s beautiful. It’s amazing.”

Addressing the prevalent trend of Nigerians seeking opportunities abroad for a better life, Fari provided a unique perspective, stating, “People want something they don’t have; they appreciate something they don’t have more. Me coming here, it was all new to me. It was something I don’t have. I never had, and I have it now. So, it’s like something new. It’s exotic.”

She further emphasized the personal growth and self-discovery she experienced in her new surroundings, asserting, “I found myself here. I discovered myself here. The same thing for Nigerians that are traveling out. People always want something they don’t have. It has always been like that.”

In essence, Fari’s relocation to Nigeria was not only a testament to love but also a profound journey of exploration and self-realization in a new and enriching environment.
