Very positive suggestion we are here to support him fully

[@youngsaka6681]

From someone who is in Australia I can attest that this guy’s story is happening here all the time,a number of people are going through it,It’s party after party.If you are not careful you find yourself sinking deep into alcohol.Unfortunately, many parents are sending their kids to Australia thinking they are escaping bad companies back at home.But end up here,where alcohol is like chai,with complete freedom.Before they notice time is gone.stress inaanza,hujasoma,depression,deportation and sometimes death.

Where do students get all this money to drink

[@lusimyer]

​@ministerdiana Sorry to hear that. There was a Zimb guy in Melbourne who did the same thing. He was an extreme drinker..possibly even drugs??...not sure why but he decided to leave this world. Maybe it's your cousin I speak oF?

[@eunisonc7494]

This happens here in States too. The company you get yourself into determines your elevation or downfall

[@Eunice_F]

@@ministerdiana no darling, your cuzo did not do it because he was an alcoholic, broke and stupid. He did it because he was sick. There's a big difference. And why do u have to mention it here anyway? Mind your own business sis.

[@janendegwa5462]

This is the way it has been whether you go to Kenyan college or go abroad so those with he no control wakuebda na maji wataenda , iam an older person and I went to campus in Kenya for two years and we used to party every Friday then I moved to America and we used to party every Friday even after I got a child getting married so there's nothing wrong it's the only time there was to meet other black people in America was weekends partying its called life you just control your alcohol because utashikwa na alcoblow na polici anyways

[@joycepaul3743]

Im so sorry for this guy. A lesson for young people wanting to travel abroad. It's not a bed of roses. You have to work soo hard and by the grace of God you make it. This man is optimistic may God remember him

I had a Kenyan student who stayed with me here in Newcastle Australia. She was a hard working girl and a full time student at the University of Newcastle. She graduated with her Masters and returned back to Kenya. There are some responsible Kenyans here. It is all about , focusing on the reason/s why you are here, and your loved ones at home, who are sacrificing their needs , to give you the opportunity to study here for a better YOU.

Amen they are Kenyans in Wollongong Australia who are responsible who know what they came here for.

[@lwaweru]

One of the cardinal rules of relationships abroad is to pack your things and run away from it, especially if you are a man. It is common knowledge laws are not written in favor of a man. You will be jailed on flimsy reasons. Divorce or abandoning the relationship instantly is the only way out if you value your freedom. If there are children in a relationship, let the court decide on shared custody. Never argue or lay your hand on a woman. Just walk out without a word and don't return. Thank me later.

[@janendegwa5462]

if you dont get a lawyer what about child support you might end up paying a huge amount you will tell your friends like one of my collegemates please nichangie nirudi home juu he was paying everything to two baby mamas, ama kama yule kangethe he looks like he had stress of child support he took his frustrations out on the next woman he dated
