After 21 Years In US, 9 Years In London, I Found Myself Under Oshodi Bridge – Nigerian

A Nigerian man, who said he lived abroad for three decades – nine years in Britain, 21 years in America – has narrated how he found himself under the Oshodi Bridge, in Lagos State.

Speaking with a popular Ibadan-based journalist, Oriyomi Hamzat, the man, who broke down intermittently.

According to the man who said he studied Banking and Finance in London, but his travail began after he had a dream where he was flying like an eagle.

In the dream that preceded his strange trip to Nigeria, he said as he flew in the skies like a bird, he saw that he was welcome to Africa and eventually Nigeria.

“I just strangely found myself in Nigeria. I spent nine years in London. I studied Banking and Finance in London. I had struggled a lot. I had a dream like I was flying in the skies,” he said.

“In the dream, I was welcome to the Bahamas. I had been there for a vacation in real life. Then, I saw ‘Welcome to London’. Later, I saw another signpost that said, ‘Welcome to Africa’. After that another one said, ‘Welcome to Nigeria.’ It now became clearer when I started seeing cattle, and ‘molue’ buses, and I woke up.”

The man said the house he built in Akoka, Lagos, was allegedly sold by his brother who chased his wife out of the house.

The man said policemen woke him up under Oshodi bridge one day from where he traced his way to a mountain in Ifo, Ogun State, where he spent six years.

He accused his elder brother of tormenting him and denying him right to his father’s inheritance.

The man also appealed to Nigerians to assist him, saying the child who was five months old when he traveled abroad is now 43 years.

He said the child could not help him because he too needed financial assistance.

Rule 1 Never send money home to build (we have seen it countless time end in premium tears)
Rule 2 Don't forget Rule 1

If this is real
Then Omo mehn Kai what thy Bleep
Outta words

But mehn how come

Back to square one

U all should know this
It’s way too easy to lose all you worked for

Hard to get a good life
But very easy to destroy a good life


But if I M the man i will relocate to a place I v nva been befor
And start a new life

We don hear. Now that his eyes are clear and memory restored, he should travel back na since the "chains" have been broken.

Or he lived 30 years in the West as illegal alien with no resident permit? If yes, therein lies the fundamental problem.

The rest na story for the gods.

The enemy within is stronger and more strategically fortified than the enemy without, I pray the LORD will deliver me from both.

I watched that video last night on Twitter and I shook my head.

In all you do, never forget to pray
I mean those radical prayer points. The mfm type of prayer. Those fire for fire prayer.

If I begin talk my own!
For the past five years!
Well God has taken over, but yiu see those household enemies?

They are more dangerous than the average kidnapper or Nigerian police, those household enemies would never stop till they render you useless like a used female pad. And guess what, it takes the grace of God before you realize what has actually happened to you.
Some don't until they eventually die.

Its a sad sad world.

The average black man is filled with wickedness and jealousy, they won't succeed and they don't want to see you succeed either. That includes some members of your family.
God help us all.

I want to believe he's saying the truth because we have a high percentage of Nigerians in foreign countries wasting away only to come back and give stories like this. I have an Uncle who left this country since 1994 and has not step foot in this country. No wife no children of note. People keep sightings him in clubs in Italy and Austria. Niggy is in his early sixties.
