A Nigerian man, Naetochukwu, has taken to the 'X' platform to recount how his life would have changed for the better if his mother had not burnt his passport to Australia years ago.
Naetochukwu said he was scouted to play for a chess team in Melbourne, Australia when he was 15. He said one faithful Sunday, his mother got back from church and began yelling at him.
In anger, he hissed at her. Infuriated by his action, his mum said she had to tame his excesses and so she took his travel documents, poured kerosene on them and lit it.
