In the short video, Eleanya Ucheya said one of the reasons why living abroad is like prison is because of the laws.
He said the laws are strict and very unforgiving if one dares go against them.
According to Eleanya, no one is completely free abroad as one cannot even urinate freely just anywhere.
Also, Eleanya said one can’t just travel back to Nigeria if one does not have all the legal documents.
He said lack of legal documentation was partly the reason why some Nigerians who relocate abroad remain there without coming home.

The man said another reason why living abroad feels like prison is because of the loneliness there.
He said people living abroad are living the way they would not like to live. He said they are living a regimented lifestyle.
Eleanya advised people who know that they cannot obey the strict laws in other countries not to attempt coming abroad.
Also, he said those who like getting women pregnant and leaving them might have problems abroad because they will continue to pay child support.
He said living abroad is much like someone who is in prison but is unaware of when they would be released.
Many people in the comment section of the post, however, disagreed with his views.
