Remigrating to Ile-Yoruba, and other Africa

Relocation, Repatriation, Remigration...
Once you have decided to relocate, you will need all the help you can get with the physical logistics of establishing your new homeland. I am thinking to offer a comprehensive Tokunbo (the foreign traveller returns) Relocation package from UKP 250. Here are the services.


Before you go, we will
Provide you a printed checklist of things that need doing
Introduce you to a Tokunbo Relocation contact in whose state of origin you have chosen to relocate to within the country. State of origin is of strong cultural importance in African countries.
Help with opening an African country bank account, and advice on funds transfer.
Help to book your flight
Help to arrange temporary storage, freight & forwarding of your personal effects.
Help to find a rental or purchase property in the African country, and negotiate with the owner
Help to find a car to purchase, and negotiate with the seller.
Help with health and safety actions for travellers to your country of destination

When you arrive, we will
Arrange a pick-up car and personal guide to meet at the port and take you to hotel accommodation.
Provide a welcome pack, including light refreshment, bottled water, a SIM card (ensure you unlock and bring a mobile phone), telephone top-up for calling family and friends back in the UK about your safe arrival, and a welcome message from your Tokunbo Relocation contact person.
Your Tokunbo contact may help you with:
Transfer from hotel to your next residence
Information or guided tour on local essential services (schools, places of worship, food and fuel, police, fire, hospitals, banks and commercial offices, markets, and internet / post offices).
Help with transport of your personal effects to your own self – contained residence.

After you have settled in your new home, we and yiur Tokunbo contact will
Maintain contact with you to answer questions and help you resettle in your new home.
Help with obtaining your national tax registration.
(Optional) Arrange visits and meetings with other Tokunbo resettlers.
(Optional) Personal introductions to local traditional rulers; schools; bank account opening; medical, fire and police support; and membership of social associations.
(Optional) Help with supply of water and cooking fuel, electricity and internet to your home.
(Optional) Help with obtaining your property registration, tax and insurance.
(Optional) Help with obtaining your driving licence; car registration, licence, insurance, and tax.

The Tokunbo Relocation Service aims to assist with the physical aspects of moving to your new home. You may also appreciate support with financial, property, employment or bereavement aspects.
