They didn't want me to leave

The lady refused, saying that the job she left behind in Lagos was better than the option. According to her, they said she could not return to Nigeria even if she wanted to.

With the horrible experience, Aishat said she is never going abroad again even if better opportunities present themselves. The young lady added that she would rather open a shop and make N5 as gain in her country than go elsewhere.

How I escaped

According to her, all the Nigerian ladies she met there were into prostitution. While in Mali, the 25-year-old revealed that she had to run to safety where she met people who helped her get back to Nigeria.

The lady revealed that her father has given her a shop space to kickstart her new life. She said all she needs now is money to fill it up with wares.
