Actress Fari Elysian Shares Her Love-Driven Journey from Russia to Nigeria Because of a Man

Russia-born actress and content creator Fari Elysian has unveiled the heartfelt reason behind her decision to relocate from Russia to Nigeria—her newfound love for a Nigerian man.

Opening up about her romantic journey, Fari revealed this intimate detail in the latest episode of The Time podcast, where she engaged in conversation with hosts Victoria Gure and Folasade Abimbola.

Fari candidly expressed, “I came [to Nigeria] because of a man. I was in love. I relocated to Nigeria in 2020. I’ve been here for three years now. And it’s beautiful. It’s amazing.”

Reflecting on the global trend of individuals seeking greener pastures abroad, she offered her perspective, stating, “People want something they don’t have; they appreciate something they don’t have more. Me coming here, it was all new to me. It was something I don’t have. I never had, and I’ve it now. So, it’s like something new. It’s exotic.”

She continued, “I found myself here. I discovered myself here. The same thing for Nigerians that are traveling out. People always want something they don’t have. It has always been like that.”
