A Nigerian man identified as Rexfunx has spoken about the terrible encounter he had when he was trying to get out of the country.
The man revealed that he had the sum of N1.3 million in his account when he was sacked. According to him, the agency he relied on to process his travel to the UK duped him of the sum of N1.2m.
In a video interview with Legit TV, the man advised Nigerians not to be so desperate in seeking greener pastures abroad, adding that it is not worth it.

Rexfunx, however, said if relocating becomes the last resort, then no Nigerian travel agency should be trusted because of their shady ways.
The Qatar immigrant said before a person leaves, they need to know what reality they would be meeting in their new country of residence.
He stated that if one has a good job in Nigeria, then there is no need of leaving the country, adding that he had to deal with racism.
Rexfunx asked people not to be fooled by the photos they see on social media, saying they are all fake.
The man said when he realised that only his first degree could not get him a good job, he had to go for more courses in Qatar.
