Somto said he has never been physically separated from his twin brother since they were born.
He said he had no option than to always go to the gym where he calls his place of happiness.
He said:
“I’ll say it’s not been easy. Having to move here at all alone at 22 without family really suc.ks. The international student job market is really hard. I have to work very hard on my shifts to make money to pay my bilis and sustain myself. It’s also very lonely and gets depressing at times, especially at night. I have no friends because I find it hard to trust people here so I am often alone, or at the gym (my happy place indeed). I really miss my family especially especially my twin brother (whom I’ve never been physically separated from all my life) and mum. School pressure is also beginning to take a toll on my mental health too and the thought of having to spend holidays and birthdays alone without family really makes me feel sad. I feel hurt that I cannot go and see them when I want. I wish things were different.”

Lady laments scarcity of men in the UK
Meanwhile, a Nigerian lady resident in the UK said there is an acute scarcity of men asking women out in the country where she lives.
According to her, since she relocated to the UK she has not been toasted on the road by any man interested in her.
She advised women relocating to the UK not to abandon their lovers in Nigeria since they may not find other men.
