Read Why A Man With Full Norway Scholarship Was Deported, Now Earns N4k Daily Collecting Waste (pic)

A Nigerian man who once secured a prestigious fully funded scholarship to study in Norway has recently been deported and is now surviving by packing waste for residents, earning just ₦4,000 daily as he struggles to rebuild his life back home.

This unfortunate turn of events was revealed in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @PH_Socials, which included videos of the man narrating his personal journey — from the heights of studying abroad on scholarship to his current difficult circumstances in Nigeria.

The man explained that after arriving in Norway, where he initially aimed to focus on his education, he gradually fell into bad company. He mingled with individuals involved in substance abuse, which led him down a dark path.

He admitted that he got involved in transporting drugs, moving narcotics from Norway to Italy. At first, some of his compatriots even praised him for this illicit activity, unaware of the consequences that awaited him.

However, his illegal actions soon caught the attention of the Norwegian authorities. He was arrested and subsequently deported for drug trafficking offenses, which effectively ended his scholarship and dreams of a better future abroad.

In a follow-up video shared by @PH_Socials, the man disclosed that he now survives by packing and disposing of waste for local residents in Bayelsa State, Nigeria, earning a daily wage of ₦4,000. Despite the hardships, he expressed hope for a fresh start and the possibility of securing a government job to improve his circumstances.

He recounted his story, saying:

“I went to Norway through scholarship. I met some UK people smoking white crystal and marijuana. One Bayelsa man told me to start moving drugs.”

“I moved the first drop from Norway to Italy, and during the second one, the Bayelsa people in Norway were celebrating me. Not long after, I was convicted. They said Nigerians are bringing drugs into their country. I was expelled and sent back to Bayelsa.”

“Now, I throw away people’s dirty every morning. They pay me ₦4,000 daily. I’m hoping for a government job.”

This story serves as a cautionary tale about how choices can dramatically change the course of one’s life, especially when given rare opportunities abroad.
