The story of a middled aged kenyan man identified as Zirayo Okole has left many social media users teary.
As reported, Irayo travelled to the UAE in search of greener pastures after life took a toll on him back home, where he had a wife and a child in Kampala.
He began working as a construction labourer, where he built his physique by carrying cement from the ground floor all the way to the top floors of UAE skyscrapers.
After three years, he was promoted to a watchman once the building was completed, thanks to his muscular physique.
As he worked for one year as a watchman, he was promoted to a bouncer in one of the security firms in Dubai.
Zirayo had a good relationship with the Arab people, because during his time as a bouncer, a Dubai prince noticed him and poached him to become his gym trainer.
That is how he secured a well-paying job, where he worked for six years until last year.
Every month, he used to send 20,000 dirhams to his wife back home to build a house and invest.
He did this for six years and seven months; however, upon his return home to Uganda last year, he came to shockingly discover that his wife had sold all the properties he worked so hard to acquire over more than ten years, and she was already married to someone else.
The shock broke him, pushed him into drugs and alcohol, and he is now slowly dying inside.
Today, the man who survived years of hard labour in the UAE is fighting for his life at home, a broken soul, destroyed not by poverty but by betrayal, shock, and addiction.
