The Nigerian lady, who lives in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, said she misses her family, friends and Nigerian parties.
Adigun said there are always positive comments from foreigners whenever she has a conversation with them about Nigeria.
In her words: “I believe the conversation is also a reflection of who you’ve portrayed yourself to be.”
The young lady, who works as a project planner, said there’s a good number of Nigerians in Peterborough where she resides.
Adigun said the first thing she would do if she were to be Nigeria’s president is to work towards providing basic amenities like constant power supply, good road network, and security.
The young lady said: “Because with all these, foreign investors can start looking towards Nigeria which will also boost the status of indigenous business owners.”
