I wish people in Africa would think twice before jumping into the European adventure. People need to know what to expect once here. If someone decides to travel to Europe he should not come with the conviction that all his problems are solved. For many, obtaining a visa means ‘all your problems are over’. For those who think like that (and I know there are millions of them), I would say the visa they got really means ‘this is the beginning of your trouble’.
Many African immigrants find themselves being unable even to go back to their country, and a lot of them fall in illegal activities such as drugs and prostitution. It would be a pity to abandon a promising career in Africa to end up in Europe cleaning dead bodies or work as a prostitute in the streets of European cities.
All I recommend is information. Get to know what you are going to do in Europe and don’t just embark in a journey you don’t know where it will lead. Sometimes, once you’re in there is no way out anymore. And it is a decision that will affect the rest of your life. So, please, if you are thinking of coming for adventure in Europe, think again. Africa needs you!
Thanks.
