Harrison's harrowing life-experience cannot be adequately put into words...

142 people set out on the intrepid voyage that night. 142 naïve men, women and children on a journey to the unknown. 142 recklessly risking their lives in the pursuit of a ‘better future’ in Europe. But 142 never arrived. 139 descended to a watery grave that night. 139 families cruelly robbed of their loved one. 139 destinies battered by the howling winds of the Mediterranean Seas. Harrison was one of the only three survivors, clinging desperately onto an empty oil can. Unbeknown to him, the life he stubbornly clung to was a reality far worse than death…

A better life lay waiting for him, they said. A land flowing with proverbial ‘milk and honey’. An ‘easy job’ with ‘easy money’ abroad. Desperation easily fell for the tactics of deception and Harrison agreed. The married dock-worker who had recently lost his job was lulled into the false belief that travelling abroad to Europe ‘no matter the cost’ was the best option. What began with hope ended up in a journey of perilous danger and bitter despair.

Harrison set out five years ago, bidding his wife and young son a tearful farewell and promising he would speak with them as soon as he reached ‘Italy’. He never did. A tumultuous passage through the desert finally led the young Nigerian to the North African nation of Libya. Alongside 141 others, hustled into a small ‘rubber dinghy’, Harrison was pushed into the sea by those heading an intricate network of human trafficking. Mid-journey, the makeshift boat hit a rock and began leaking. Chaos ensued.

As water began filling up the boat amidst the screams and cries of its occupants, Harrison beheld a shocking sight that seared his conscience. A mother held her crying baby aloft as the frail boat began to sink. Before his eyes, he witnessed the ocean swallow mother and son. Gone. Life snuffed out in one foul watery swoop. As the boat capsized, Harrison grabbed onto an empty can that once contained oil. To his left and right, those he travelled with submerged into the abyss. With his strength failing, a ship of Libyan coast guards emerged from the shadows. Hauled aboard, his ‘rescuers’ brutally beat him to a stupor. The following morning, he painfully awoke – not in hospital – but in a dingy prison cell.

The horrors Harrison witnessed in a Libyan underground dungeon go far beyond the meager description mere words can provide. It was over three years of ‘hell on earth’. Life became cheap to the startling degree that Harrison witnessed dead bodies carried out of the cell on a daily basis – bodies and souls succumbing to the tortuous conditions. With hopes of a release barely minimal and scores of new inmates pouring into the dungeons daily, the young Nigerian had an unusual dream one night. He saw himself in a large church receiving prayer from a ‘man of God’. Struggling to behold the face of the man praying for him, in a flash, Harrison saw Prophet T.B. Joshua. He woke in a cold sweat. Something supernatural was about to unfold! Shortly afterwards, Harrison was among the over 600 Nigerians in Libya who were deported with the intervention of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), a branch of the United Nations.

However, freedom came along with a heartbreaking reality. Returning to his home in Ejigbo, Lagos State, the first residents who saw the ‘prodigal son’ disbelievingly threw sand on him, thinking he was a ghost. Rumours had spread like wildfire that Harrison had died since his departure five years earlier. Assuring them he was a real person, he was led solemnly to his former house. There, the shock of his life awaited. His wife had remarried – to his best friend. His only son had died. Five years wasted. Five years lost. Five years that changed everything.

Forlorn and malnourished, Harrison recalled the dream he had in the Libyan prison and headed to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN). He was not alone. In May 2017, more than N15m was provided to the deportees by Emmanuel TV Partners and Prophet T.B. Joshua, alongside two bags of rice each. This show of compassion touched Harrison to the core as he realized that what he sought for abroad was actually available in his own country. Narrating his story, he told congregants at The SCOAN and Emmanuel TV viewers that the experiences he passed through had changed his views on life, describing it as a gift too precious to waste. He thanked God that he survived against all odds, as well as appreciating Prophet T.B. Joshua for his loving support. Harrison further called on the youth of Nigeria to never undergo such a journey and be content with what they have.

Hmmmm

Na im friend inherit im container

That his frend must be a specialist in tokumbo

Friends!!! The smaller your circle the clearer your vision

What is shocking there? She should not re marry after everyone thought he had died? Or he is shocked because she married his best friend?

this man abandonned his wife when he left 5 yrs prior, thus she did what had to be done to survive...

Nothing shocking here. 5yrs without contact? What did he expect?
Sorry about his experience

So many men leave their wives for years in Nigeria. You see these women going about with forlorn konjified expressions, waiting for their absentee husbands. No one deserves that kinda life.

All these just to glorify joshua?

Hiaa God forbid!!!!!!

Stupid man . You actually pushed her away , you married her off to the another man ; nature abhors such painful vacuum and so what is the hoopla all about? Unless you can tell us you two had an agreement for you to stay away that long. Even prisoners do get conjugals to see their other halves or call them on phone. So what happened?

5 years without contacts? Not a phone call, not a letter, no emails? Not a word back home that he was alive?
He died really.

Let them move on with their separate lives biko.

People don't count their blessing while it exist. They tend to see what they don't have until that which they have is gone. Most people embarking on these dangerous European journey save ~N300,000 before embarking. Why not put that money into great use and increase it two-fold so you can break the so called poverty chain.
