Sade and Femi experience culture shock when they arrive in London, and I experienced something similar when I moved from Long Island to North Carolina. When I first arrived here, the dialect was so different from what I was used to back in New York, and it took me several years to readjust. If I was in their situation, I'm not sure exactly what I would do, because it's difficult to imagine without actually being there, but I would probably try to ask around for a place to stay for a night or more until I could find uncle Dele.

I believe that people have become slightly more accepting of other cultures and immigrants/refugees because there are more intercultural groups and things like that, but there are still a lot of cruel jokes about Muslims going around.

I believe that Sade's most difficult decision was deciding that she would go to London in the first place, because she would be leaving her home and family to go to a foreign place with someone that she doesn't know at all. I think the story might've been different if Sade had stayed in Nigeria in that they'd have to find a different way to escape Nigeria, while still being together with their Papa and uncle Tunde.
