Heard a
story like this? I’m sure many of you have.
When Emmy left his country for Europe, he knew
there would be many challenges. He didn’t know anyone in the country he was
headed to so it was quite scary. But he didn’t imagine that what was a lifetime
dream for him would become a nightmare.
Few weeks after he arrived, he met some other
Nigerian boys. He was eager to make friends from home because it was pretty
lonely so he went out of his way to be extra friendly with these guys. One day,
one of them invited him to hang out at their house and happily, Emmy went. Only
he didn’t realize it was a set up. At least, that is what he believes.
When he got to the house, there were a few
other guys there as well. After a short time, the new ‘friend’ and host excused
himself, saying he needed to run a few errands and would be back shortly. Not long
after, the police raided the house and arrested those who could not run fast
enough. Drug charges were thrown at them and it was then that Emmy realized that
the guys were drug dealers.
The law didn’t take long and before he could
get his bearings, he was in jail where he has been for some years now, with a
few more to go. Of course, he pleaded his innocence but no one paid attention and
the language barriers didn’t help him either. He tried but could not get in
touch with the guy who owned the house they were arrested in. Later, they found
out that the guy had fled the country. So right now, he’s serving time – for a
crime he didn’t commit. That’s the story Emmy tells

This is a classical story of how young Nigeria jjc end up in jail on foreign countries. Sad thing is that the young ones aspiring to do an "Andrew" do not learn from such stories.
