Man returns to Nigeria empty-handed after 30 years abroad
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had returned to Nigeria with nothing after more than 20 years overseas.
Pastor Joseph Ibironke said he moved to the UK around 1983/1984 in search of the proverbial greener pastures.
He left his job at Union Bank to look for a better life in the UK, where he lived for nine years. During those nine years, he worked as a security guard. He told his story:
"I left Nigeria in the 1980s. If memory serves me right, I was in my 30s when I left Nigeria, and that should be between 1983 and 1984."
