Nigerian's journey from scholarship to deportation

In the interview, the man shared how he was offered a scholarship to study in Norway.

Along the line, he came in contact with drug traffickers and people who take illegal substances.

Among those he met was a Bayelsa man, who told him to start moving drugs and promised to pay him any amount he wanted.

He said:

“From Norway to Italy, I moved my first drugs. My second move was from Stavanger to Oslo, which is the capital of Norway. As I moved the second one, the Bayelsa people in Norway were celebrating me. I was like a celebrity.”

The man stated that not long after that, he was convicted as the authorities said Nigerians were bringing drugs into their country.
