A Nigerian man secretly sold his mother’s parcel of land in Ibadan, Oyo state, for N23 million.
The man had the intention to relate to the UK, so he needed the money to process his visa and other documents.

According to a story shared on TikTok by @adereality_55, the man used the N23 million to pay a visa agent.
His belief was that the visa agent would secure a work visa for him to enable him to move to the UK to hustle.
He hoped that after working for a while in the UK, he would pay the money back to his mother or even buy another parcel of land for her.
However, the problem is that the visa agent has failed to deliver the job more than one month after payment.
The story, which was sent to Ade on WhatsApp, reads in part:
“I sold my mum’s piece of land in Ibadan in pursuant of work visa, with the hope that if I get to the UK, I will work to buy another pieces of land and many other things. But to my greatest surprise, my mum did not take it easily with me. She has been raining curses on me for over a month now. Bros, I’m fed up, please, advise me. I called the agent last week but he said I should give him a bit of time.”

Man loses N18 million to visa agent
Earlier, TheTalk.NG reported that a man shared the painful story of how he was scammed by immigration agents who promised him jobs abroad.
The man spoke in a video posted by the BBC African Eye, noting that part of the money he used to travel belonged to his parents.
He said he spent N18 million only to arrive in the UK only to arrive there and discover that there was no job for him as the agent lied to him.
