Behold these idiots below repeating the lies that your Arab and European masters tell you about your culture. Any bad thing that happen to you is because of the people in the 'village.' Meaning, the people that gave you life are the same people that want to destroy your life. The fact that you believe this nonsense, is enough reason to shed tears for your low iq and lack of common sense. The foolish foreign imported religions of Christianity and Islam has rot your brains beyond redemption.

So this is a very strange story which I think about till this day.

It was October 1st 2019 and I am coming to Nigeria with Lufthansa from Manchester and the stopover is Frankfurt. And so we get to Frankfurt and we had to ride this trolley tram bus thingy to our terminal.

That’s where I saw this character. He was sat in front of me clutching a small handbag. That’s all he had On him. His eyes looked cold and dead like someone who has seen everything there is to see in life and he had checked out of humanity. He had like a long Islam goatee. Young guy, maybe early thirties. He sat there and clutched his bag and stared with that dead empty look. He wasn’t being deported. He was on a voluntary journey of his own. I watched him for a little while but then we got to the terminal and alighted and I never saw him again.

I took the flight to naija. Got the cab at the airport and started the journey to the Airbnb I had booked in magodo. It was an evening and up in the sky were stork birds and eagles and the atmosphere was dusty looking as the sun was setting. So as I was in the car on the express about 3 miles away from the airport I saw someone climbing the dividers of the express way and trying to cross over to the other side to the bus stop to catch a bus , I adjusted my eyes very well and guess who it was? It was the strange guy who sat in front of me on the tram-bus in Frankfurt. He had absolutely no luggage with him. He had just the same small bag I saw him with and he was in the same clothes

Till today I always wonder what that guys story is . Did he actually walk out voluntarily on his own out of Frankfurt with a tiny bag and walk into the streets of ojota with nothing but the same bag and dangerously crossing the expressway ? Was he remote controlled into Nigeria ? It’s a very strange episode. I think of that guy to this day

You could have asked him what the matter was with him. A simple "Are you alright?" might have saved you all these nagging memories. Sometimes, a question, a smile, an hello, a greeting, a concern, a humanity is what we owe one another. Remember, the whole of the human race is flawed.

Hw used to follow a gang in uk and one member stabbed someone to death. I think he was still under 18 then so they sent him back to live with his grandma in ibadan or so.

Chaiiiiiiii

Well,as long as he wasn't the culprit, I believe he is fine.
At least he has been going and coming severally.

Many reasons. Many, many reasons.

1. Drug trafficker who was one step from getting caught. He had to “run back to his village” as Nigerians are prone to after committing crimes.

2. Naija boy who got mixed with a foreign woman. She kicked him out of his house with nothing but the handbag he held. All his belongings are in the country under her control. He mentally lost his will and came back home where men control everything.

3. Yahoo boy who felt his juju was about to run out. No time for unnecessary load, come home, get it renewed then return.

4. A struggling Nigerian who decided to visit home. No time to form anything unnecessary. Stay home for about a month or two then return to the brutal life of menial jobs in obodo oyibo.

5. A Nigerian wanted for a crime. We’ve seen idiots repeatedly run home after committing crimes. Burna boy too. The long arm of the law may catch him eventually.

6. A relative was terminally ill. No be belongings the person go chop when physical presence is the main koko.

My favourite which normally happens to Nairalanders.

7. Civilization nearly killed him. Having all the amenities of a working nation overwhelmed him. He couldn’t stand a soft life. Struggle is hard-coded in his DNA.

Wow, I am in Nigeria and presently facing number 7. To live a soft life now is very difficult for me after working hard for about 15 years.

While growing up something similar happened to a friend's father.. he worked as FG worker, resigned and travelled in the early 1990s, he was sending in cars and all, after a while he secretly tried to marry another wife and relocate her... That was when his wife got him back home without anything


Again I remember my own first Japa experience, Got a Job a 5 star hotel in UAE, Free food, free accomodation average salary, and I was just fresh out of the university, Travel agent wants me to have travel experience so I paid good money

I worked 3months straight nightshift, no sleeping

3months straight no off days Mondays to Monday no break

Yes, he got better (there is no cure for it) as it was being well managed with a mix of psychotropic medication and psychotherapy but he never returned back to the UK as UK weather was one of his triggering factors, the sunlight there was not enough for him.

This reminds me of a story i heard sometime ago. A nigerian man who was on his very first trip outside nigeria saw a security guard at the entrance of a shop in london. On a closer look he recognised him as a former lecturer at a federal university. Imagine, from university lecturer to "maigad" all because of japa stupidity.

Yes i left due to the toxic work environment and i felt stuck and depressed. Although presently I am no longer in Nigeria.

Truth.
That abroad thing is one thing that has been giving me a hell of headache in making decision.
You know what I mean, when u live in your own house here, earn 7 figures. Now going abroad to start all over again. What's the probability you won't work your ass out to live well and equally have good savings ... My big concern.

It is well

I am happy for you jare.
Nice to know you are doing well abroad. Cheers
