Man Living Abroad Says The Place is Like Prison Yard, Gives Many Reasons

• A Nigerian man said living in a foreign country is like staying inside a prison yard, and he gave reasons for the statement
• The man who lives abroad said it is difficult for one to come back home after going abroad, especially if one does not have documents
• He said another reason the place is like prison is that the laws there are very strict and unforgiving

A Nigerian man who lives abroad said the place where he is residing is like a prison yard.

In a trending TikTok video, the man gave many reasons to back up his statement.

In the short video, Eleanya Ucheya said one of the reasons living abroad was like a prison was because of the laws.

He said the laws were strict and very unforgiving if one dared go against them.

According to Eleanya, no one was completely free abroad as one could not even urinate freely just anywhere.

Also, Eleanya Ucheya said one couldn't just travel back to Nigeria if one did not have all the legal documents.

He said lack of legal documentation was partly the reason some Nigerians who moved abroad have remained there without coming home.

The man said another reason living abroad felt like prison was because of the loneliness there. He said people living abroad were living the way they would not like to live. He said they were living a regimented lifestyle.

Eleanya advised people who know that they cannot obey the strict laws in other countries not to attempt coming abroad.

Also, he said those who like getting women pregnant and leaving them might have problems abroad because they will continue to pay child support.

He said living abroad was much like someone in prison but had no idea when they would be released.

Many people in the comment section of the post, however, disagreed with his views.
