Nigerian woman Adunni Adelowo has shared an emotional account of the challenges, she and her children have faced since she was deported from the United States.
In a video circulating online, Adunni revealed that the family has struggled to find stable accommodation after returning to Nigeria. She appeared visibly exhausted as she spoke about trying to rebuild their lives under difficult circumstances.
The content creator said she had been making efforts to earn an income through work, online content creation and brand partnerships. However, despite these activities, she has been unable to raise enough money to secure a home for herself and her children.
Speaking directly to the camera in an outdoor setting, Adunni described the difficulties of starting over after being forced to leave the US.
“I don’t think people understand how exhausting it is to keep starting over,” she said.
She explained that her return to Nigeria had been marked by one challenge after another, leaving her uncertain about how to provide a stable environment for her children.
“Ever since I came to Nigeria, it’s been one thing after the other. Now I’m walking around trying to figure out how I’m going to get me and my children into our own home again,” she added.
The video was filmed in a residential alleyway, where Adunni appeared to be sharing her experience while outdoors. Her account offered a glimpse into the difficulties facing the family as they search for a place to settle.
Adunni said she had continued looking for ways to support herself despite the uncertainty surrounding their living arrangements. Her efforts to create content and secure brand deals have not yet provided enough money to meet the family’s housing needs.
Her story has attracted attention online, with viewers reacting to the difficult situation she described. Some were moved by the challenges of raising children while trying to regain financial stability after deportation.
