We all stayed in one kind of abandoned open shop close to the church. Unlike most of the guys that were picking pure water sachet in the circle area, the guys here were doing more of hard labour like bricklayer work, offloading goods from containers because that area is an industrial area so there are many warehouses around. Many of them have been there for long so they had their connection and knew when jobs were coming up. I tried to get involved with anything I could do so I can survive but yet again everyone would always tell me I can't do those kind of jobs. I will force them to take me but at the end the supervisor will still reject me. I felt really bad but then I had to get back to my usual begging which was obviously the only one that favoured me. Somehow I really felt like God was with me because I never imagined doing those kind of jobs and God didn't allow me do it. Sometimes when they have church services am always looking for you to beg until one day one man told me he will report to the pastor because the pastor warned that if anyone is caught begging they should report security and arrest the person.

Let me try to cut the long story short so I don't have to write in different pages.
Staying at that shop space close to the church was a nightmare because when rain falls at night we are practically sleeping under the rain. The mosquito bite at night is terrible. The shocking thing was how new people come almost everyday with the same story of how someone ran with their money or how their money got missing at the border and we will all have to stay in that place together. Mind you we can only stay there at night because during the day it's in front of a factory and that's were their workers sit down during their break. So during the day we all have to disappear from there but our bags are there and we cover them with the cartons we spread on the floor to sleep. I had tried so hard to raise money to get back to Nigeria but it only seems I can just find money to eat and do little things and that was it. I had to make enquiries about the Nigerian embassy in Ghana and then I got the address. So one day I went to the Embassy and explained my situation. The man I met there was really so nice and helpful. He told me they will send my issue to the ambassador because I told them I needed to go and I had no were to stay if they don't attend to me that day and find money for me. Unfortunately they said the ambassador had an urgent meeting so he will have to see it tomorrow and any amount he approves they will let me know. I thought about going back to sleep in that store and I said not today, so I gave my usual pity face and said I don't have anywhere to stay. So they allowed me sleep somewhere inside the embassy. That was the best sleep I have had in ages and the best bath I had taken that night. It was like I should not come out the bathroom and they oven put AC for me but I put it off later because my body was not use to AC anymore. I felt so alive again praying and hoping they give me money to go.
The next day I got a very bad news that the ambassador didn't approve any money because Buhari has not released money to the embassy. I actually almost fainted because I could not imagine going back to that store house after sleeping in the embassy so I pleaded with the man to help me in anyway. Very nice man I will never forget. He told me to wait, he was going to rag all the workers and see what he could get for me. That was how he was able to raise 200ghc for me and then told me I should not use the naija buses because the money won't be enough but I should use the short cut which he wrote on paper for me. From Accra to Aflao, I cross through the back gate and enter Togo. From Togo to Seme and then to Mile 2.

I was so grateful to God for everything and that was how I found myself back home. I have been putting myself together and glory to God I now have a phone which I am using to type this story. I look forward to God that kept me safe all through that experience because I know he has better and bigger plans for me.

I believe I will be a testimony to many very soon.

This is my true life experience, I never made it to Abidjan but I came back home alive.

Please read it well

He said that they refused to give him work because they felt he didn't have the strength to do it even thou he was willing to do it

distributeinc:

You are wrong, I think you work as either a traveling racketeer or into some business that has to do with facilitating movement of Nigerian immigrants overseas, that is why you are encouraging it. Your facts are wrong, there are learned Nigerians here, working in top organisations, earning 1million naira/month as salary in Nigeria. Not all Nigerians are desperate, dumb and money hungry...people are building brands here, what are you saying?

In abroad they don't give immigrants top jobs, except you are trained overseas, you only do low cadre jobs ...don't disgrace yourself in a public forum with nonsense talks.

Belial06:




Sir respectfully Google the last quarter UN report on illegal migration in sub Saharan Africa and middle eastern countries

I state again 90% of migrations from Nigeria are graduates with good experience seeking a greener pasture

And no I don't work in travel as you are trying to draw lines between my advise and personal gain as I have come to see the Nigerian way of thinking by default is advise is never offered free without a personal gain

I don't want or need anyone's money I am. Well. Off thankfully

Get your facts right

Typing in good grammar doesn't make wrong facts correct

Do you have common sense at all. Where did you see me advising anyone about traveling or not traveling. Is the topic to hard for you to comprehend that I am just sharing my experience. After you will think you know how to talk.

naijaguy123456:
OP you have your self to blame for poor planning. Number one sin is you left Nigeria broke and you entered another man country broke. You could have save little money and keep with your trusted friend or family then when you are desperate overseas they can send you tiny bits.
I met countless Nigerians who made it to Europe through African countries most especially Ivory Coast .
If you enter Europe with no papers then they know you are a Nigerian, 99.9 percent you are coming back home I swear . But if you go first to other African countries and get the knowledge of that country like you know the tribes, few languages, cultures, their foods etc then if you made it to Europe you have 50-50 chance.
There was a man I’ll call Mr T an Igbo man left naija for Ivory Coast then he entered holland . He was able to get paper in Holland because he claimed Ivorian, if he claimed naija 95 percent they won’t give him.
Another man I know went to Uk from Ivory Coast, claimed asylum he was refused, they took him to Ivory Coast embassy in Uk, the embassy agreed he speaks French and their language but his accent is not from them. Home office took him to Nigeria embassy. At Nigeria embassy he started speaking French non stop. The embassy staff told home office this guy doesn’t speak a word of Nigeria language and English. After 3 years of dragging it on and off, home office gave him paper.

ultron12345:
Indeed, there is nowhere like home.

As for me and my family, we will continue to live in Nigeria. We travel to various countries where we spend 1,2 or 3 weeks, and then come back to our wonderful home in Nigeria.

As rich as dangote and otedola are, they still live in Nigeria.

Thank God the OP is honest enough to write this story. Some will come back and deceive their fellow brothers and sisters to go there and suffer.

This is real suffering. I've also experienced that empty promise, once you land they won't pick your call or they'll keep posting you, soon you'll realize that you've been abandoned

Most illegal immigrants are not well educated, being a graduate in a Nigerian University don't mean you have brains... this is not even the point of this discussion...stating that most Nigerians living here are not living good lives here is a fallacy, just because you get by living in a cold country, as a second class citizen...I rather live here.
