Uncontrollable tears streamed down the face of an unidentified woman after discovering her brother had failed to build a house, despite her sending an undisclosed amount of money from abroad.
Having spent 15 years overseas, she returned to her hometown only to be met with shock and disappointment, finding no house constructed as expected.
Allnaijadiaspora.com exclusively reports that the woman was seen bathing in a dirty puddle, crying.
A post on X read, “Lady Who Lived Overseas For 15 Years Creates A Scene After Returning To Nigeria To Discover All The Money She Was Sending To Her Brother To Build A House For Her Wasn’t Done As Expected.”
In reaction to the incident, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) commiserated with the woman. The commission wrote: “We commiserate with her. This is one of the problems the proposed Diaspora Housing Scheme will solve under our Chairman/CEO, Hon. Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa (@abikedabiri). Stay tuned for the launch!”
Social media reactions were filled with empathy and criticism. A user identified as Shedrach said, “Heartbreaking!!!! This is bad. Keeping your money for yourself would have been better. That guy no try.”
Another user named Agbalaka wrote, “A very common occurrence in Nigeria because many of us want to reap where we didn’t sow.”
Similarly, Ben Samuel asserted, “It’s painful and sickening. Only a few of us can empathize with this poor woman. No one should blame her for not returning home in 15 years to check on the project’s progress. Her immigration status is clearly a factor, but many family members are evil and wicked. That’s all I can say.”
