African reporter Simon Ateba suffered a long road to industry success battling poverty and even pirates before moving to the U.S. and working in the White House briefing room.
Ateba shared highlights from his journey and lessons he's learned along the way during a special episode of Fox Nation's "Tucker Carlson Today."
"When I heard that everything was great, I decided to travel from Cameroon to Nigeria by sea, and I was attacked by pirates on the Gulf of Guinea," Ateba told Carlson Tuesday.
While trying to travel from Cameroon to Nigeria, a small boat of pirates attacked the ship on which Ateba had been sailing. Noting pirates are common in that area, Ateba shared how they pulled out large guns and demanded passengers give them money and goods.
