A Nigerian woman living in the United Kingdom has gone viral after releasing an emotive video in which she sobbed while discussing her challenges as an immigrant.
The woman claimed that she moved from South Africa to the UK four years ago in quest of a better life and has since worked relentlessly to support herself and develop stability, taking up various tasks such as cleaning and caring.
According to her, she recently received heartbreaking news that her firm had lost its Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), jeopardising her employment and immigration status.
Expressing irritation and tiredness, she detailed the sacrifices she has made over the years, emphasising that she has continuously paid her bills and worked hard to maintain her independence.
Despite her efforts to remain strong and inspire coworkers facing similar circumstances, she stated that the uncertainty about her future has been crushing.
The woman also expressed concerns about her alternatives if she is unable to remain in the UK, stating that she is torn between returning to South Africa, where she believes Nigerians are targeted, and returning to Nigeria, where she is concerned about insecurity and economic hardship.
Read what she said below;
“I genuinely never thought I would see a day that I will just come online just cry. I’m tired guys, I’m really tired. I wonder what I would have done in my life to be punished by being a Nigerian. I don’t know what I had done in all my past lives to be punished. Being a Nigerian is hell. I left South Africa and I moved here (UK) four years ago now and I’ve been working earnestly. God knows. I no even dey follow man. If man way give me money I go say, no, I’m working. Trying to live a stable life. Only for them to tell me that where I am working, that they lost their COS. I’ve been trying to be strong, I’m even the one encouraging all my colleagues.
I’m just tired. I’ve been living in this country I’ve been paying my bills, I don’t miss any bills. I started off from the ground bro, I worked as a cleaner, I worked as a care worker, I did everything to make sure that I make it.
Okay now is it to go back to South Africa, even the South Africans don’t want Nigerians. Okay go back to Nigeria, and you’re going to get keeleed….”
