In the wake of the political and ‎economical quagmire, the West African country of Nigeria had been plunged into in 1999, following the death of its military dictator and the ushering in of democracy. Peterson tells the story of how he, as a 20-year-old and a high school drop out, had gotten fed up with the economic situation in his home country and as a result, had decided to migrate to Europe in search of the proverbial 'Greener Pasture' in a bid to rescue his family from the shackles of poverty. However, unable to secure funds, and documentation to migrate legally, he had opted to travel by land through Africa's deserts and seas to Spain. The book focuses on the many perils, near-death and actual death experiences by the author and his co-voyagers in the course of this tragic and daredevil voyage. It also highlights his eventual success into Europe, his disillusionment of Europe and how he ended up in the criminal underworld of Internet and advance fee fraud as a means to make ends meet. You'll read about the resultant and deserved effect of Karma on the author as a result of his criminal undertakings, and how it all came crashing down.
