Man says he is lonely abroad
In a related story, TheTalk.NG reported that a man living in Europe said he felt he was alone in the world because no one was at home with him.
He said despite having children, he was alone at home and that it was normal to be alone abroad even if one has children.
He however said he could do things for himself because he cannot afford to pay a househelp in Europe.
