This story is one among many I've witnessed recently. But it's so unfortunate many of our young ladies are yet to learn lessons from it. I can't imagine why you are here in Nigeria waiting for a guy in Yankee to come and marry you. I can recalled vividly how a course mate dated a guy in UK for good 3yrs, the guy never sent a kobo for her upkeep but kept juicy words to convince her that she should be patience, shortly he will return to the country to marry her and take her take her to UK. The same guy was busy calling her regularly, monitored her movement, so that no guy can come closer to the lady, until a good day we were chatting together in the class on relationship issues before she opened up which I directed her to meet her Pastor. The Pastor advised her to quit the guy, which she adhered to her Pastor's advise, 6months later she got a new spouse and wedded. The UK lover boy is still yet to return to the country.
BACK TO THE STORY OF TODAY
I felt reluctant bringing up this story to the public in the first place, but for the benefit of those that care, I decided to do so.
A beautiful young lady was doing very well here in Abuja. She got a lucrative job in a reputable organization in Abuja. Her income was very okay. In fact, she was living comfortably while also running a private business. Three years ago she met a young handsome man who base in Yankee on social media. They began having an affection for each other. One thing leads to another, he proposed to her, without any delay, she accepted the proposal, few months later, she started processing her travelling documents to travel to meet her new found lover boy. She sold her car, fold up her business, resigned from work and travelled out of the country to meet her lover boy. She did all these without disclosing it to any of her family member neither her friends until she got to U.S, she called me and some of her friends to disclosed that she's now in U.S doing well with her husband, in fact, they have carried out all the marriage obligations in the U.S without the knowledge of her family and friends. Things were rosy with them until when they began having misunderstanding and the man got fed up with the marriage.
Two weeks ago, she sent me a message that her hubby has sent her packing out of his house, she is looking for money to process her travelling documents back to Nigeria. She's now squatting somewhere until when her traveling documents will be processed but worst of all is that the lady that was comfortable in Abuja is now left with penniless in Yankee but now seeking for assistance from her friends in Nigeria. She called me to narrate her ordeal and pleaded with me to meet some of her friends to see whether we can raised money to enable her return to Nigeria, she's facing serious hardship in the U.S.
As a friend that I cherished a lot, I sympathized with her and decided to put calls across to other friends she mentioned to me. Right now, we have raised some money but not enough, hopefully within the month we will get enough money for her to return to Nigeria, soonest.
I believe she has learned her own lesson. I wish some of our ladies out there will learn lesson from this story. We are looking forward to welcome back a beautiful, talented, industrious and hardworking young lady who was doing so well in Abuja but was carried with Yankee based lazy guy.
All that glitters are not gold. I have many of my friends living in Yankee but relied on girlfriends in Nigeria to survive. Most of us are doing far better than those claiming to be in foreign land. Even some of those who are opportune to get a job in Yankee are using their income to service numerous bills unlike here in Nigeria where most of us can evade taxes and go scot free but is a very serious crime there. Stop making yourself so cheap for guys please.
Thank you all for your
attention
