“I miss home” — Nigerian lady in Germany laments loneliness and depression (Video)
A Nigerian lady residing in Germany, Anike Adhey laments the struggle of dealing with loneliness and depression while emphasizing the culture of keeping to oneself abroad.
She revealed that Germany lacks the vibrancy she is accustomed to in Nigeria, where she could readily indulge in lively activities.
Anike openly admitted her strong yearning for home – Nigeria, as she describes developed countries as a place where people primarily focus on their own affairs.
In her words;
“Before I moved to Germany; before I came abroad, I used to think all these stories I read online and see people post about depression and loneliness abroad, I thought it was a joke and that they are not being honest. It’s crazy out here and depressing.
“You know, if I was bored in Nigeria, I can take a taxi to a joint and eat catfish pepper soup and everything and go out with my friends. Here, nobody is selling Gala in traffic, no one is selling panadol,” she said in part.
