I still don't understand, you risk your life to go to Europe then getting to Europe, you still end up poor or destitute.

What sort of risks is this? I am confused.

Search of quick money or welfare. There's this false perception that people in Europe pick money off the ground. Sure the standard of living is much better than in Africa but it's no paradise, especially to outsiders. Truth is that Africans with needed skills or enough money don't need to go through these channels.

During our ND days at kwara poly, I have this friend who faith brought us together.

This guy Sabi play ball no be small. He is mikel obi and ighalo combined. He is ambitious and always want to play for any club ready to sign him. So when we got to hnd1, my guy just disappeared fiam with no traces but he hinted sometimes that he wanted to travel by road to Italy but I just dismissed it thinking it was one of his pranks then.

About 3 weeks later, he brought up the issue again this time a lil bit serious and I too jokingly said I will go o if it was true but I thought within me he was joking and then one day, padi mi stopped coming to school. I went to his place and was told he went to Abuja to get shortlisted for a football club and all this while, his number wasn't going through.

After a year, my guy resurfaced on Facebook and this was his story.

Him and ojo met someone who promised to take them to Italy by road,he asked them to arrange 200k each and they were able to raise that money. (this would have been my first disqualification cos I no get shishi then) then they moved..

Through deserts, sneaking around bushy road and he said a lot of people people died on the road, some where dropped in the desert, some were raped along the road both male and female alike as some couldn't even make it pass the bushy road and then they got to Libya.

He wasn't detailed enough in his story but he said their 200k only took them to Libya. Cos they feed on the road, paid for transport and other things. He said "wo my guy, it was a deadly journey going to Libya, I don't think the things I saw and witness will ever leave my memory till I die. When they want to sleep with either men or women among them, it is done openly, only those who have money were spared, and when they wait to either defecate or ease themselves and they blow whistle and you are not in the bus, o. Y. O is ur case.

When they got to Libya, another problem, if you are not able to raise another money to get into Italy, then your journey ends there. He mentioned that what they were told is, 200k will get you to Italy and even a very good job. But the angels they traveled with turned to the scariest devils when they get to Libya. If you don't have money to further, you become a liability, you are either been sold or they harvest your organs for sale. Harvesting of organ is not done while you are dead, they drug you and harvest your organs right in your eyes, they remove the heart last.
He said seeing thing playing out like horror movie, he called his people and told them everything, apparently, his parent does not even know the risk he was taking, he only told them the first money was to bribe a football manager so they could sign him.

With no option, they sent him another money and they continue their journey to Italy. He said on the sea, if you show any symptoms of sea sickness, you Don follow sea go be that.

It was daring, scary and he said he started wishing he didn't meet the person that introduced him to this dangerous journey. Ojo was a rugged guy, he said that one no even shake, he was prepared right from onset, he had with him 500k so he had no problem dropping money. I met him with my guy about 7times before they traveled, he was a footballer also.
He said on the sea, no one was being raped again and these devils became friendly again, but another set of people have joined them but they were armed with guns and there was social distancing incase anybody try to do anyhow among them.

He told me they starved for days and were only fed sometimes once a day to ration the food they have. He said he was a terrible journey he never wish for his enemies.
One way or another, they Sha got to Italy.
They were arrested.

He said the people that took them there only left them at a place where they have 80% chance of not drowning, so if your swimming skill is 0, you are gone. Cos they don't want to be caught so those people went back.
They help some and patrol helped others but still got drowned.

He said they were put in some isolated place and later Transfered to their refuge camp.
When he showed me pictures, I was heart broken.

He was so lean, malnourished and starved. I ask am, shey dem tear your yansh? He said though they wanted to on several occasions but ojo dey always sort them before his people were able to send him money.

He said he and ojo was able to liase with someone in the camp and they sort him, it was this person that paved way to germany for them, and linked them to a friend there where they started their lives.

It's been almost five years now, these guys are big boys now, my guy with him Igbo sense have almost finished building his house in Nigeria here, maybe he has even finished cos I lost contact with him when I misplaced my phone last year. He married an ijebu lady over there in Germany and they both have a baby girl. I was like, why you no marry German, he said, make dem carry my pickin leave me abi? Dem fit disown you anytime o and na dem go get the pickin.

The last time we spoke, he said he plays with one German football club like that and he also work.
He is not on social media but he was the one that introduced me to nairaland in 2011. I don't know if he still visit here Sha but padi if you are swing this, your 6 dey miss you o.
I asked of his no from his brother on Facebook, that one was doing like someone that has meningitis.

When he finished telling his story, even though I couldn't type all he told me cos have forgotten some, it sends chill all through my body and I asked myself,

1--lers assume I was even able to raise the initial 200k, where will I get money to bail myself in Libya?
And me wey carry yansh like ini edo, na pampers I for dey wear now even if I survive reach the Germany.

2--can I go through all that and not go insane? I am an emotional person, witnessing people being butchered might just drive me crazy.

It ended well for chidi(not real name) but what of those killed, deserted in the bush and those harvested?

Though when I see that they made it to germany, I get jealous that why I no take them serious but when I remember their story, I thank say I no even try am.

My guy, if you dey nairaland and you see this, abeg send me pm make we reconnect o, aboy dey fumble, he no gree give me your number.

Re: Road Trip To Germany (a Short True Life Story) by ismoney: 9:24pm On May 04, 2020
Many dead hearts in sheep clothing. Heartless souls that cries the loudest when caught for justice to reign. How many families had they left in hopeless hope and maybe in the hands of wicked souls in sheep clothing that gives them false revelations just to swingle them while their loved ones had go to a journey of no return in the hands of cruel mortals that seems to forget that wealth can’t save the holder in the time of death. May God bless Nigeria and save many youths from such deadly journey.

I love Nigeria and God bless Nigeria and save all who are in the hands of such cruel and darkened mortals presently.

To get married, have a kid and build a house in Nigeria.

For all that struggle?

And the football dream is as good as gone.

For anyone contemplating leaving the shores of Nigeria, please it should either be by flight or never and if you don't have anyone receiving you at the other end then I won't advice you to embark on such adventures except if you already have your accommodation reservations sorted out.

Finally, don't leave Nigeria with only the money that will get you out of Nigeria when you don't know what awaits you on the other side.

It is always better to go through the legal routes so you don't end up gambling with your life by attempting this sort of Israelites wilderness journey to the promise land that was supposed to be for 40 days but took 40 years of which over 2 millions Israelites started that journey but a lot died along the way without getting there.

This scary story from the OP should serve as a warning to every discerning mind reading this.
