A Nigerian man has been left devastated after returning home from South Africa, where he had spent 23 years working and sending money to his family to secure properties on his behalf.
Instead of receiving a warm welcome, he was allegedly labeled mentally unstable and taken to a local herbalist against his will.
The incident, which reportedly took place in Ibadan, was captured in a viral video circulating on social media.
In the footage, the man could be seen expressing his frustration and pain over the betrayal by his own relatives.
According to him, he worked as a show promoter in South Africa, collaborating with top artists, including Davido.
Throughout his years abroad, he consistently sent money back home, trusting his family to invest in properties and secure a future for him.
However, upon his return, he discovered that his family had not only failed to keep their promise but had also attempted to silence him by declaring him mentally ill.
Social media users have reacted with outrage, condemning the betrayal and questioning the trustworthiness of family members.
Many commenters lamented how greed and wickedness often come from within one’s own household, leading to tragic stories like this.
Some even speculated that the stress of the situation could eventually push him into actual mental distress.
This heartbreaking story serves as a cautionary tale for many Nigerians in the diaspora who rely on family members to manage their finances back home.
It highlights the importance of ensuring transparency and accountability when entrusting others with hard-earned wealth.
