In a video by @that_theatre_nurse_ on TikTok, the woman mentioned why she left her son with her mother-in-law in Nigeria and returned to the UK.
She mentioned that the reason she left her son in the UK was to help him socialise, since he failed to do so in the United Kingdom.
The woman said:
“One of the reasons I took him to Nigeria was because I needed him to socialise. You guys know how it was very difficult for me to put him in nursery. We literally struggled. Anytime we go to the nursery, he cries. He doesn’t concentrate and was not socialising with other kids.”
She added that the only regret she had about taking her son to Nigeria was the mosquitoes that bit him and left marks on his skin.
The woman also stated that she kept her son within 180 days, knowing fully well that her mother-in-law would bring him back to the UK after his stay.
