A video of a Nigerian man who recently moved to the UK lamenting bitterly about being stranded has gone viral, sparking emotions.
In the viral clip, the man can be seen with all his luggage at a train station. He claimed to have been sent packing by his landlord with all his luggage.
He lamented how he sold his house and car to pay the sum of N1OM to Mrs. Olaitan, who made false promises to him that there were jobs waiting for him in the UK.
He said the agent to whom he paid the money assured him of employment immediately upon his arrival in the country, but that was not the case as he has been unable to find a job since arriving.
Recounting his plight in Yoruba, he expressed regret that he had left his comfortable life in Nigeria and sold his land to seek greener pastures in Britain.

“I don’t blame him. He didn’t just move, he moved based on the information he was given which is wrong. This is why you should ask questions, like lots of questions. There are lots of traveling agents out there that’d give you wrong info because they want to eat your money. I feel sorry for him I hope God send a helper on his way
#Ilosiwaju fun EVERYBODY”.
