Nigerian comedian and TV host Teju Babyface has revealed his deep regret about relocating to America with his family. He described the move as the biggest mistake of his life due to unforeseen challenges.
The entertainer explained the relocation was carefully planned to advance his career and family life. Unexpected difficulties, however, made him question his decision almost immediately.
Shortly after settling in the U.S., the COVID-19 pandemic began. This disrupted Babyface’s plans completely. He felt lost and uncertain for nearly three years.
During this period, he battled intense doubts about his future. Babyface feared he had taken a destructive risk that might ruin his achievements.
The comedian recalled how King Sunny Ade’s music suddenly resonated with him. He finally understood the song’s themes of confusion during his hardship. The lyrics mirrored his own experience.
Despite the struggles, Babyface credits this period with building his resilience. He developed greater patience and a stronger sense of purpose through the ordeal.
Valuable lessons emerged about trusting life’s processes. The experience reshaped his approach to change and adversity.
“When leaving Nigeria, I knew it was the necessary career step for our family. But when COVID-19 hit months after arrival, I was convinced I’d made life’s biggest mistake.”
“I called it a ruinous risk – one that could destroy everything. For the first time, I understood King Sunny Ade’s lyrics about being lost. His song finally made sense after a lifetime of singing it.”
