Lol... Please, don't argue with me.

African immigrants are the biggest workaholics abroad... Dem nor dey rest at all, especially Nigerians.

I have spoken with a lot of them, and they all confessed to the immense PRESSURE from friends and family in that 3rd world nation.


I never said Nigerians in Nigeria don't hustle... No need for this pointless justification.

Na poor man dey japa[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=140033351]Nigerian caregiver reportedly dies after working 3 days straight abroad without sleep

A 40-year-old Nigerian caregiver has reportedly died after allegedly working for three consecutive days without sleep while trying to raise enough money to complete a house he was building in Nigeria.

The incident, which surfaced in a viral video shared on social media, has triggered emotional reactions online, with many expressing concern over the pressure some migrant workers face while trying to support their families and finance projects back home.

Colleague reportedly recounts final conversation

According to the narrator in the viral video, a Nigerian colleague who reportedly spoke to police said the deceased had been taking multiple shifts at different care homes without sleeping for three days.

The narrator quoted the colleague as saying:

“Before the shift change, the guy told him that he has been working different shifts, different locations for three days without sleeping.”

He added that the colleague questioned the caregiver about his decision to keep working despite his condition.

“He asked him, ‘Why are you working like this? What is the problem?'”

According to the narration, the caregiver explained that he was trying to earn enough money to complete the house he was building in Nigeria before August.

“He said he has a house that he is building back home that he wants to complete next month, being August. That is the reason why he’s jumping from one shift to another for three days without sleeping.”

Caregiver reportedly refused to leave work

The narrator claimed the caregiver later told his colleague that he was no longer feeling well before the shift ended.

“Before the end of shift change, the guy said that he’s not feeling fine.”

His colleague allegedly advised him to go home and rest.

“He told him, ‘If you’re not okay, go home. You have not slept for three days.'”

However, the caregiver reportedly declined, saying he needed to finish the shift to receive payment.

“He said if he goes home, there’s no way for him to complete the shift and they won’t pay him because of the shift.”

He reportedly collapsed while feeding a client
According to the viral account, the caregiver continued working despite feeling unwell.

The narrator alleged that the man suddenly collapsed while feeding a client.Violence & Abuse

“In the process of trying to feed a client, he gave the client one spoon, second, third spoon. He just slumped and died because he had been working for three days without sleeping.”

Expressing sadness over the incident, the narrator questioned the sacrifices many people make in pursuit of financial goals.

“This guy wanted to complete the house back home by next month. Who is going to complete the house now?”

Sad 😢 💔

Its so bad.
Thats an average Nigerian mentality...wanting to pepper those back at home.

No one is peppering anyone rather People back home are the ones putting the dead man under unnecessary pressure.

Thank you.

Ignorance, impatience and I better pass my neighbor is a major problem with many Nigerians.

Always in a hurry to nowhere.

When you have those problems and you don't even know how to say NO to users & abegi begi people, you are a dead man walking.

And another shall take his place...also, the house under construction shall be taken over by people that have learned to take life easy. May God deliver us from the Spirit of greed.

Amen in Jesus mighty name.

Belive me no one is putting them under pressure back home. They are putting themselves under pressure. Paying mortgage in uk, building a house in naija(the is actually insane cos you will never live up to 2 months a year in that house & when you ready to settle down d crib is obsolete) travelling to Europe for vacations etc. If you moved abroad in your late 30s or 40s forget about being rich, just focus on taking care of your children and providing for them so they can be rich.

Fake x stories

Lols.You can reject the pressure my brother,if you want to.You have your life to live.

The person willing to neglect his own health for worldly & material pleasures won't hesitate to kill someone else for same.
It must be August do or die! September is total failure! Death said....

You don't joke with sleep.
The body is wired to repair itself with it.
The organ that enjoys the effect of sleeping is the brain 🧠.

No matter what you do, aim for 7 hrs every day

But even the brain doesnt rest while sleeping, na the reason why we dey meet ourselves for different places be that when we sleep...

Our brain doesnt sleep I think or believe

This actually happened to two bankers in Nigeria. They did not even japa so no huge funeral cost but those houses were sold & the proceeds shared.
They worked to death inside Nigeria and one was even wrapping up plans to japa with his family.

Lies no one works 3 straight days in the same company, I mean 24 hours for 3days. If is in the uk, it is 100% impossible.

He was taking shifts under DIFFERENT Care agencies as clearly stated in the story. It's very very possible.

Thank you.

No matter the hustle or your location, at least 7 hours of sleep should be targeted. Also, vitamin D level must be checked while food rich in magnesium is always a priority.

Well to put a pinch , Nigerians has a mentality of life is all about in the multitudes of what you have

Lol news shall
But ignorance na really disease
Normally
If person nor sleep for two days he dey affect not to talk of 3 days
My sleep I don joke with it
You came to this life without money and you will go without cash
Which one be 3days working straight

Your information is accurate but the guy being an average Nigerian decided to override a working system. There is a reason for such laws but a typical Nigerian is carrying unnecessary loads on their head.

If you japa, take time to understand your new environment and blend in. Ordinary Burger flippers in America take trips abroad on vacation and go on boat cruises. Oyinbo no too stress themselves, find coupons, seasonal deals, off season tickets, and company vouchers etc. You will have loads of fun if you just slow down and understand your new system.

Gentledove2001:

Healthy adults need at least 7 hours of sleep per night. For 3 days, this totals a minimum of 21 hours of sleep. Depending on your age and activity level, you should aim for an average of 7 to 9 hours of sleep daily to ensure your body repairs and restores itself properly.
Na mumu die be that

If he doesn’t make it in life, you and I will mock him. His wife will rain abuses on him everyday every minute. Get Rich or Die trying. I stand with him. We will meet at Jesus feet

He already had underlying medical issues, not sleeping isn't responsible for his demise.

Can she survive real grind in Nigeria for 3 days?

There are jobs everywhere in Nigeria but many can't handle the grind. Uneducated hustlers make 3k, 5k, 10k daily in Nigeria while many graduates are begging around. I saw a YouTube documentary on Maroko, an elderly woman said she makes 5k daily profit from her dried fish sales but the hustle is tough.

Weather they complete it now or sell it /even if they are fighting for it he won't know. Chaii this is sad. Make God not let us die this way in hustle.

Speak for yourself bro.

You even confidently typed "no one is putting them under pressure back home"? As a case study, go to any pastor near you, and you will learn more about the pressure and the disputes. One even preached about the increasing volume of terrible family disputes over japa remittance expectations.

If you are lucky with that, thank your stars. Go to Benin for a start and see wahala over remittances.
