Europe-based Nigerian talks about life abroad
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man abroad had warned his countrymen to avoid coming to Europe as life is difficult there.
The man who gave his name only as Mr Forlan, told Legit.ng in an exclusive interview that living abroad seemed to be only designed for the benefit of indigenes and nationals of the country, not migrants.
Forlan who has lived in Germany for some years said that European life is in sharp contrast to what is depicted on TV and the media and that it takes hard labour for one to succeed there.
While revealing that he owns a farm in Nigeria that is cultivated and tilled by workers under his payroll, he stated that starting a business in Europe can be frustrating and if the paperwork for approval and takeoff does not deter you, the taxes will.
