A Nigerian lady identified as Adetemi has gone on TikTok to release a lengthy video to document her struggle to survive in the UK.
Making a video of herself sitting in a public place, she said that not all the people abroad are living a good life like many believe.
Abroad is not how many have painted it
Adetemi, in the Yoruba language, said that she is out to beg, hoping that she would see someone to offer her a job that she can do.
In her words:
I’m trying to beg for money to survive. I have not been able to get a job up till now…. Where I am begging now, it is possible I see somebody that could link me up with a job… I’ve submitted CVs already to the appropriate places….”
She stated that the reason why she made the video is to show that abroad is not how many have painted it, adding that people are also going through hell like her.
She said:
“Whenever I tell people what I am going through, they don’t believe. It was while I was outside here begging that someone gave me this pack of food. If I was inside, would I have see such free meal?”
Why Adetemi left for abroad
Adetemi said that she can keep silence in her suffering. The Nigerian lady added that people passing by sometimes give her things like clothes or soap.
The lady went ahead to say that not having an education while abroad is a also big problem. She narrated that seeking her child’s treatment brought her abroad.
