A Nigerian man has taken to social media in distress after returning from Europe, where he claims to have worked and sent money to his wife for over 20 years to build their dream home—only to find an uncompleted building waiting for him. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

In a widely circulated video, the heartbroken man revealed that throughout his stay abroad, he had been sending funds consistently for a house project in Nigeria. However, upon his return, he was met with an unfinished structure, leaving him devastated and betrayed.
