Why Libya🇱🇾 ?
That country again 🇱🇾?
If it’s hard there, why don’t you just come home?”
People ask these questions so easily without realizing that sometimes, people don’t leave home because they want to… they leave because home stopped working for them.
Nobody grows up dreaming of running to a place like Libya. Nobody leaves their family, comfort, peace, and country just for fun. Most people left because survival in Nigeria became harder than the fear of starting over in another country.
Imagine a country so difficult that its citizens would rather risk their lives in a place everybody calls dangerous, just to have hope of surviving. That alone should tell you how bad things are.
Some of us didn’t leave because we hated Nigeria. We left because Nigeria stopped favouring us. You work hard and still can’t survive. You graduate and there’s no job. Prices keep increasing while opportunities keep disappearing. Every day feels like a battle just to breathe.
So when people judge Nigerians in Libya, calling them names or acting like they’re less human, it’s painful. Because many people there are genuinely struggling, sacrificing, and doing everything possible to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Nobody understands the pain of feeling forced to survive outside your country because your own home could no longer carry you. That kind of reality changes a person mentally.
And the saddest part? Even in a place that’s already difficult, people still wake up every day and keep pushing. They still smile online. They still send money home. They still carry everybody’s expectations while silently falling apart themselves.
Before judging people in Libya, ask yourself what kind of country makes its own citizens feel safer suffering abroad than staying at home.
May God help every genuine hustler far away from home. May we not suffer in vain. And may the day come when Nigerians no longer have to run to difficult places just to survive.
