Twenty-nine-year-old Amu Adams (Male) was in his seventh year as an unemployed graduate in Nigeria. He was in his second year of trying to ward off suicidal thoughts. He endured perceptions of being a failure, felt hopeless, and struggled with a sense of lack. Then, an old friend encouraged him to try migration. His mother supported the idea. She spoke to friends and family members and borrowed enough money to back her son’s new plan, not disclosing the purpose to the lenders. The mother took the son to a cleric, who prayed for his journey. The journey was not through the usual visa application route, which she knew would be difficult for him, but via the irregular Sahel, Sahara Desert, and Mediterranean route.
