Hi,

I’m a 28 year old Man from Paris (born there) with both my parents being Igbo and Yoruba. I’ve never visited Nigeria until now, my mom successfully pulled me in the country and so far I’m just living a nightmare.

I’ve been to Lagos, Abuja and Owerri (her birth place) and I neither feel safe or welcomed. Guys usually try to scam me when they realise I’m a complete stranger and every single interaction I had with a woman around my age revolves around my salary (Around 5000€ per month, or a bit below 9M nairas) and everything I could do to support/ help her family. I even had a girl begging me to marry her, I didn’t knew her name ?

Everything about the things I saw seems fake, people are doing crazy things to survive, I saw guys beating another one for his watch, and 2 folks siphoning fuel from a car while the occupants went outside to do some shopping, but the experiences I had with women’s out there in 6 days shocked me to the core. I saw what true greed was and how their whole behaviours changed immediately when they heard my accent and from where I came from. In owerri a girl tried to Sexually Assault me with her older sister, like what the hell ?

I don’t think I’m returning ever again, but do you have any ideas on how I can at the very least enjoy a bit of my remaining journey ? I still have 5 days there. I’m returning to Lagos next morning and will stay until Monday.

Cut your remaining 5 days short and leave...


What where you expecting when you came? This one just wants to nag!

Leave that cursed SE and visits any place else but there.

Even Bokoville in the NE is better than that SE

He visited Lagos and Abuja in addition to Owerri and his disappointment is clearly nationwide because he doesn't want to visit Nigeria again.

It reminds me of the Noraly experience

If it's true, is it not odd than a 28 year old whines and complain so much?

He may just be a grade A brat and maybe one of those nerdy type afraid to be out and mingling since many like him came to Nigeria and had a great time here with some even thinking of relocating.

DiamondsAreFore:
What is "SO MUCH" about his complaint? And who exactly is thinking of relocating to a country with such a high insecurity profile? Are you talking about the clout chasing influencers on social media? Many of those ones quietly leave after some time.
Their exit is usually not as loud as their arrival which is probably why you don't hear much about it.

Assuming the narration is even the real and factual experience of a human being.

The issue is that most of us, because we are not in the category, don't understand the volume of warped mischief-makers out their online telling lies, spreading fake news and fabricating lies out of thin air in an attempt to work an angle or seek followers/likes/retweets etc

Every so called "real life narrative" online should be taking with a pinch of salt. If true though, then the guy is indeed an irritating nag. You'd have thought it's a 12 year old writing from his tone.
