Having lived through the experience, as someone who emigrated directly from Nigeria to Spain, I venture to share here a few of the things which helped me to transition and integrate into an entirely new cultural landscape without losing my sense of identity. Hopefully my experience will help others who may be considering the same journey in the future.I arrived in Spain in 2005 with little more than the decision that I was going to build a life for my family there.
