Libya to Italy - Nigerian man makes U-turn as he sees the sea he is about to cross
He first of all asked people to pray for him that he is about to embark on a journey to cross the sea from Libya to Spain after spending few months but Omoooor, he immediately had a change of heart and said he is never going to cross the sea because of its size and water
Eyah sorry my brother... if its possible, can u pls share a bit of what happened
I’ll just make it brief, I was in my early 20’s, my friends talked me into the journey but I didn’t know they were not travelling with us until the day we left Nigeria.
I didn’t have much information about the journey but because they told me it’s easy and fun I left Nigeria with them.
We were first held by rebels in the desert for 28 days, mind you I left Nigeria Feb 3rd 2009 and I got to Libya in March.
The owner of the uncompleted building we were living brought the police to arrest us 4 days after I got to the house, some guys were arrested but i and some other guys escaped, we ran into the cemetery and slept there till 6AM.
I found a Nigerian who offered to allow me stay in his house, few days later I told him that I got a connection to cross to Italy and I will be living the following day.
The following morning this guy left the house and locked everyone inside, he returned in the evening with 3 guys, a Ghanian and 2 Nigerians. The moment he entered the house he pointed at me saying this is the boy before I knew what was happening they stated beating me asking me to follow them. I resisted and fought back, the landlord heard the noise, he came knocking so the guys quickly ran away.
The following morning this guy asked me to pay him $300 before he will allow me leave, I said you should have said that instead of bringing people to beat me up. Then I gave him the money and left his house to the camp from where we were to be taken to the sea side.
The same night we were taken to the sea side, when we got there we were ask to sit on the floor and not make noise, about 3 minutes later a small balloon boat came and was taking us 30/30 to the big boat, I was on the 3rd batch, few minutes after I entered the big boat, we saw boats coming towards our direction behold they were coast patrol.
The person that was to sail our boat told everyone that we will all die instead of him to allow the police arrest him then he zoomed off, the police chased our boat till they caught us when we were almost out of Libya territory.
We were arrested and taken to prison on Sunday and we broke the prison on Tuesday and escaped. We were chased all night……. Na long story bro I hope I get to document all that happened on that trip one day. I lost my left eye as a result of the beating I got from the guys that were invited to beat me.

Your story is really touching. I have heard & read of similar tragic stories such as this that elicit sympathy.
I keep saying it, all the stupid people shouting “Japa out of Nigeria, Japa to Abroad at all cost” on Nairaland front page are stupid, senseless, vacuous secondary school children who have never left their parent’s house for a day and who do not understand how the world works.
Personally, I cannot count the number of acquaintances that I know since 1999 till date who have died untimely in their stupid quest to “Japa out of Nigeria” for greener pastures.
I am not mocking anybody. It’s just that I am allergic to stupidity.
You do not have any relative abroad who can take care of you. You do not have enough money to sustain you abroad. You do not have any connections abroad but you want to Japa at all cost because you think Nigeria is worse than every other Country on Earth.
Well, by the time you Japa into your grave, you will receive that sense that have eluded you since birth - by force.
Continue taking & following the advice of some stupid illiterates on the internet.

be grateful for your pain. It means you're still alive.
If you want to travel, don't use the sea, they are lots of coast guards, and Libya is a warzone now, so the security operatives, coast guards and people ain't smiling now.
