A 37-year-old woman from Evbohimwin, Edo State sent us a message she had a true life story to share with The Storyteller Blog, we called her with the phone number she provided in the message, and this is what she narrated;
I got to Spain 2014 on a 3- month Schengen, short stay visa, after which I filed an asylum application, which was refused.
I appealed the refusal but it was unsuccessful.
Ever since, I have been living and working in the country illegally.
Last year (2017) I think in March, I had a dream, a woman offered me a pot of Egusi Soup with lots of meat inside, she gave me a spoon and asked me to eat it all.
I emptied the pot and immediately woke up.
After then my mind was not in Europe anymore, I was always thinking and dreaming of Nigeria, I kept missing Nigerian food.
One of my friends took me to Nigerian restaurant, but the food did not taste nice. I felt like eating the proper Nigerian food, made with fresh ingredients, not the dried and frozen ingredients used to cook Nigerian food in Europe.
I was very home sick, the next week, without telling my friend who we share an apartment together, I went to buy a flight ticket and flew to Nigeria.
It was only when I arrived in Lagos I realised it was probably a mistake I made.
Now I have been eating fresh ingredients food, I have exhausted all the money I brought to Nigeria and do not have a visa to travel back.
The lady now understands she was under some sort of spell. She wants the world to hear her story and learn from her experience.
