A Nigerian migrant recently deported from Libya has drawn national attention after reportedly revealing that he spent about $40,000, approximately N60 million, in an unsuccessful attempt to reach Europe<\/strong><\/a> through irregular migration routes.<\/p>\n

The revelation was shared by former senator Shehu Sani<\/strong><\/a> in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he highlighted the staggering cost and risks involved in illegal migration.<\/p>\n

Sani used the story as a cautionary tale, urging Nigerians to either pursue legal migration channels or consider building a life within the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the Nigerian migrants deported from Libya<\/strong><\/a> revealed that he spent about $40,000 trying to get to Europe. He blew N60m searching for greener pastures,\u201d<\/em> Sani wrote.<\/p>\n

The post quickly went viral, triggering a wave of reactions from Nigerians online, many of whom expressed disbelief and frustration over the man\u2019s decision to spend such a large sum without exploring safer, legal alternatives.<\/p>\n

An X user wrote, @AbiolaAdebisi7<\/strong> commented, \u201cIn actual sense you can use the same amount to travel legally to any country in Europe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

@BuraBem<\/strong> added, \u201cJust N10m here can change life for real real good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

@NazifMusah remarked, \u201cVery foolish decision. He can do better with such amount of money in Nigeria or any of the West African countries.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, @shehu_mahdi<\/strong> reacted: \u201cAll made possible because of the way democracy has been turned into something similar or worse than jamboree, kalo-kalo, casino, try your luck\u2026 an avenue that creates uncertainties, destroys institutions, individuals, communities, opportunities and livelihoods.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
