We all know that it is the dream of every young Nigerian man to make it in life regardless of what it costs him. This book depicts just the level they can go to get rich so as to get out of that horrific situation. Sometimes, some take unnecessary risks in order to get out of that situation, and that is exactly what the author did. Fortunately for him, he beat all the odds and was able to make it in the United States of America. It was not as easy as it seems because many people tried through various means and ways but ended up dying either in the deserts or drowning in the Mediterranean Sea trying to make it to Europe. Most of the time, it's not the fault of these migrants but the fault of the government that has refused to provide any means of survival for these young men. It is almost thirty years that I have left the country, and the situation has not changed for any better. As the saying goes, "And the beat goes on." If you can't beat them, you either join them or try your luck, like Okwudili.
