“3 years ago, I saved up money to travel abroad. Visa approved, everything ready. My flight was in 2 weeks.
I told my friends. Everyone was happy for me. At that time, I had about 7 close friends. Three of them were already living abroad.
Since I was leaving soon, I decided to organize a farewell party for them and my girlfriend (now my ex).
We lodged in a hotel, ate, drank and enjoyed ourselves all night. It was supposed to be a happy memory before my journey. But 4 days later, something strange started happening.
I began to feel serious p@in all over my body. At first I thought it was normal s!ckn£ss. I bought medicine, but nothing worked.
Each day the p@in became w*rse. Soon it got to the point where I couldn’t even stand up from my bed. My people rushed me to the hospital. I spent 3 days there, but the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong.
They transferred me to another hospital. Still nothing. After 2 more days, I was discharged.
The doctors said they couldn’t trace any !lln£ss and advised my parents to look for another solution. My parents became very w*rr!ed.
They started taking me to different places, spending the money I had saved for my pocket expenses abroad. Finally, we went to a trad!t!on@list.
After checking me, he said something that shocked everyone. He said I had been p*! s©n£d.
He also said if we had wasted two more days, I might not have surv!v£d.
He started treatment immediately, but he said it would take 3 weeks for me to recover. Three weeks?
My flight was already just days away. But my parents had no choice. They told him to continue. After about two weeks, I slowly started getting better.
But by then, my flight was gone. The visa, the plans, the money… everything was l*st. I had already sold most of my properties in Nigeria before preparing to travel.
So I had to start my life all over again, even moving back to live with my mom. Till today, I’m still trying to find my feet again.
