Osibo Imhoitsike, an experienced adman, joins me to chat about his decision to move his family out of Naija, the stress of shuttling back and forth, and his biggest cultural shock.

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.

Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Osibo Imhoitsike, an experienced adman who moved his family from Nigeria to Canada.

Osibo talks about the sacrifice of leaving a career on the up, shuttling between Nigeria and Canada, and the stress of living apart from family. I also learn about what it took for him to settle in Canada, his biggest cultural shocks, and adjusting as a family in a different culture.

In this conversation, Osibo and I chat about:

  • The various triggers that led to migrating to Canada

  • Dealing with the stress of living apart from his family

  • Walking away from a career on the up

  • His biggest cultural shock.
