Nigerian lady working on farm says Europe is not easy

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian lady working on a farm had decried how tough it is to live in Europe.

In the video, the young lady was seen complaining that if she is in Africa, she won't be doing farm work.

She went ahead to say Europe is not easy and that those wishing to relocate should be properly informed before doing so to avoid disappointment.

But some Nigerians on Instagram where the video was shared are not finding it funny, as they have asked to return home.
