Legit.ng had published a viral story about a Nigerian man in the UK who spoke about his current condition in the country and his readiness to travel back to Nigeria.
In a video posted on TikTok, the man could be seen neatly dressed as he engaged in a conversation about his plan to move back to his home country.
The man said in the video:
"I want to move back to Nigeria, I've tried school in the UK, there's no job in the UK."
The post made by @jummyomolope shows the man needed help as he requested a sum of 500 pounds (₦940,992) to buy his return ticket.
After he spoke with the woman who could only be heard in the video, she asked that he send her his account number as she was ready to send him the money so he could get his return ticket.

Just as the story made waves on social media, another Nigerian in the UK spoke about his living condition while also talking about the possibility of returning home.
A young Nigerian had taken to his TikTok page to speak about his experience as he explained that he had gone through a lot already in the UK.
He spoke about how nice and comfortable he was living when he was in Nigeria, but when he travelled to the UK, things changed.
According to what @kingspro_official posted on his official page, he explained that when he was in Nigeria, he lived in his own duplex and had a big car; however, now in the UK, things are not the same as he lives in a shared apartment and drives a small car.
He wrote:
"From living in my own duplex for Naija and big car to shared apartment and small car. Working 7 days to survive and clear debt. I don’t pay my sacrifice this year."
He concluded his post with a decision which explains that he plans to return to Nigeria if things don't improve in the coming year.
He added:
"Next year, if enjoyment no show you, all will be hearing from me in now."

In a viral video shared by @third_son on his TikTok page, he could be seen lifting a number of bags containing an unidentified material.
It is assumed that he does this as a job and gets paid for it.
He added a caption in the TikTok video to explain that what he is seen doing in the video is what he does in the UK so he could pay his rent and also send a little money to his family.
His video contained a caption that explains his story:
"This is what I do every day abroad to pay my rent and feed. If I send you 20k my bro manage. I stay 4 months before taking a haircut here, so I can just send that £25 (₦50k) to my family. But one day it will be a story that was witnessed by you, keep praying for me."
