Qatar returnee has no savings
The young man said he is not ashamed to admit that he came back feeling lost despite reuniting with his mother after a decade.
He added that he is unsure of what is next for him and has no savings.
The youth lamented that he found out his girlfriend had been unfaithful and his friends still depend on him to cater for their bills.
While noting that he might be rock bottom at the moment, he expressed optimism about bouncing back. He wrote:
“1️⃣ After over a decade, I finally reunited with my mom. It should have been a moment of joy, but instead, I came back feeling lost, unsure of what’s next for me.
“2️⃣ I spent years working in the Middle East, only to return and find out my girl had been passed around like crazy while I was away. Imagine thinking you have a home to return to, only to realize it was never yours to begin with.
“3️⃣ I have no savings—none. Yet, somehow, my homeboys still expect me to be the one to pay for everything like I’m their personal ATM. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to figure out how to rebuild my life.
“4️⃣ I might be at rock bottom, but one thing about me? I don’t stay down for long. This is just the beginning of my comeback story…”

Man returns empty-handed after 47 years abroad
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a man had returned home with nothing after 47 years abroad.
The man, who hails from Kenya, had left his village to go to Tanzania in search of greener pastures. He first settled in Nairobi before moving to Tanzania, where he worked close to Kilimanjaro Mountain.
When the man failed to find greener pastures, he also failed to return home. His family waited in vain as his wives got married to other men.
