The young student who had lived in Abia state slammed politicians in Nigeria for failing to replicate structures they enjoy when they go outside the country.
He mentioned that in Czech Republic, a person hit by a driver on a zebra crossing is compensated with the sum of N2 million, excluding medical bills, whereas in Nigeria the same cannot be said.
Meanwhile, it was previously reported that a Nigerian man in Germany had advised his fellow countrymen to stay put in the country and invest their money as life overseas is hard.
The man who gave his name only as Mr Forlan, told Legit.ng in an exclusive interview that abroad life seemed to be only designed for the benefit of indigenes and nationals of the country, not migrants.
Forlan who has lived in Germany for some years said that European life is in sharp contrast to what is depicted on TV and the media and that it takes hard labour for one to succeed there.
While revealing that he owns a farm in Nigeria that is cultivated and tilled by workers under his payroll, he stated that starting a business in Europe can be frustrating and if the paperwork for approval and takeoff does not deter you, the taxes will.
