A Nigerian TikTok user has shared a troubling video from an unnamed Arab country, claiming her employer confiscated her passport and refuses to let her leave.
In the clip, the young woman who said she relocated for a housekeeping job explained that she feels trapped because local restrictions make escape nearly impossible. She broke down in tears despite vowing to stay composed, revealing that even after offering to pay for her flight home, her boss demanded she complete a two-year contract before the passport would be returned.
The migrant worker urged Nigerians to reconsider travelling abroad for quick cash, warning that the job is far more exhausting and dangerous than it appears. “Don’t lose your soul chasing money,” she cautioned, repeatedly saying she felt “tired” and “weak,” yet unable to flee.
Her account highlighted long-standing concerns about migrant labour exploitation, such as withheld travel documents and limited freedom of movement.
The video quickly spread across social media, drawing widespread outrage. Many commenters likened her ordeal to modern-day slavery and called for stronger protections for overseas workers.

@Jaiyejeje: “One thing still day happen in 2025. A family member once had this issue in 2014… she ran and follow them to work at Libia, they took all her belongings and passport, use her like slave… only God knows how she escaped…”
@Tobo_Jay: “But her face looks like someone who is pregnant for her boss and the boss doesn’t want her leave with his baby.”
