Meanwhile, he had left his son and his woman in Nigeria in search of a better life.
He started sleeping in open places, and this continued for many months. What saved him was that he had a tailoring skill.
Arrested and detained in Dubai
Adex was hired by a man who gave him a tailoring job, but he would later be arrested and locked up over a wrong allegation after he was framed by his co-workers.
Luckily for him, he was found to be innocent, and he was released. Adex said his boss felt sorry for the suffering he went through, and he was rewarded with a two-month salary.
Along the line, his woman in Nigeria left him because he was not sending money to her as expected.
It even took a while before he got his legal documents to stay in the UEA as a resident.
However, his life has become better as he now lives freely after getting his documentation and he now has a place to stay and work.
