Nigerian Man Used His Savings to Relocate Aboad Deported Back Home, Says His Friends’ Lifestyle Influenced Him
A Nigerian man, Gideon Iken, has narrated his horrible experience abroad, showing the scars it gave him all over his body.
In his conversation with Legit TV, he said he was influenced by some friends who returned from the UK and Italy and showed off their money.
Gideon said when he went to one of them for money, the person declined. He revealed that it was out of that frustration that he embarked on getting to Europe through the desert.
Relocating aboad went bad
He added that he set a personal target, saying that before the age of 40, he would have had his own house and other properties.
The Nigerian man said he had planned to live large in the future, never knowing that the journey would set his life several years back.
Living condition abroad
He lives in a ramshackle one-room apartment that has a falling roof and he takes his bath outside the house before anyone wakes up.
The 39-year-old man revealed that he had to save hard before he could go on the journey.
After deportation, man rethought his choices
Before the unfortunate journey to Libya, he was a bricklayer. Gideon was making N20,000 weekly.
From that income, he was able to gather N350,000 to travel. When asked what he would do if he had that same sum, he said he would start a business.
