In a TikTok video he posted, the man, Eleanya Ucheya said it is not good for one to be old abroad, because the person could suffer.
He used himself as an example, indicating that there are things he is already finding difficult to do because of his age.
According to Eleanya, he was coming back from work and he discovered that snow had covered everywhere.
He said there was a snowstorm and the cold was too much, making it highly difficult for him to drive.

Eleanya said when he put his legs on the snow, it was as if he was going to freeze because he was not wearing his protective boots.
He said he managed to get home but when his key dropped on the ground, he found it hard to bend and pick it.
He noted that even if one has children abroad, the children might end up living to start their own lives.
However, he said if one moves from abroad to Nigeria, one could have a better life while old.
