My UK visa was rejected the first time but I never gave up hope (Metro)

I am super excited about what the next couple of years hold for me, my family and for my new business in the UK.

The toughest challenge in the first few days of arriving was renting a property. It was through one of these matchmaking platforms, that my current co-founder, Santiago reached out to me while I was still in Nigeria. I put in my second application in February 2021 and I made sure to narrate my story better, as well as provide overwhelming evidence of being an exceptional talent. During the labour, my daughter’s heart rate flatlined, resulting in an emergency C-section delivery. Although this feeling had been building up for a while, it wasn’t until after a safety incident – when an industrial cooker exploded – that I decided to put in my resignation letter, and began my venture into the unknown.

It was an idea very close to his own life. From clumsy filters to poor recommendations, finding food online just doesn’t work. To make matters worse, I returned home and ended the day in the dark, as a result of an electricity situation in the country and the frustrations of my power generating set that just wouldn’t come on.
