Hello friends..
I jst need an avenue, to air my deepest thoughts. Your comments are highly welcomed.
I am a 30 years old lady, working in a bank..
During my career, I had the opportunity of meeting a lot of important people, then I met this client. He had a large portfolio that I inherited, I knew he was rich and lived in UK but I didnt exactly know what job he did while abroad.
We maintained a professional relationship, I handled his accounts properly, sometimes he invited me to UK or other parts of europe during my vacation, soome i obliged, some i declined.
One day, a colleague in another branch saw his name and told me, "madam, you get leg o, so na footballer account you de manage". I was surprised, because i didnt follow the football league, I didnt know the name of English League footballers.

That evening, I googled him, and found out he was a very popular Nigerian footballer in the UK. I emailed him and joked about not knowing his job, but now I have found out, mostly because I inherited his account and he wasnt my direct client.

I continued carrying out my job as his account officer, still visited him abroad once in a while and became good platonic friends.

Eventually, My fiance who lived abroad betrayed me,after 3yrs of dating, he returned to Nigeria and married someone else. I shared this fact with my client during one of our conversations and he sympathised with me. a few years later, a friend expressed interest, and a few months later, we have started planning our wedding..

Two weeks ago, I received a text from my client, that I should meet him at the airport, he was returning home. After work, I met him at the airport with one of his drivers and took him to his hotel, which was like a routine for me whenever he came into town.

Before he alighted from the vehicle, he told me he had a gift for me..lo and behold, he brought out a case containing a diamond ring...

I was surprised, and a part of me wanted to grab the diamond ring glistering in my eyes, but the moral part of me made me confess to him that I had just gotten engaged, and my wedding is in a few months.

He took it in good spirits..although he was disappointed, and I have tried to return to being professional with him.

for the first time, he left the country without letting me know, but we still communicate based on his accounts. He even asked if he could be of any help regarding my upcoming wedding.

A part of me wonders...why didnt he let me know all this years? He never gave me a hint, or maybe I never saw the hints, he was generous, sponsored my vacations but I never saw it in a different light. He never went beyond a handshake with me, it was always about the account or work, or general discussions.

Perhaps, if he had hinted me a year ago, when I got heart broken, I would have been delighted at the proposal but right now, it has only confused me..

Friends, what do you think?

Criously you're not at fault here, he should have been man enough to tell you his feelings rather than making you believe he's just a client...i feel sorry for him sha, your wedding date is fixed.

Hmm...u're a rare Nigerian girl.Most won't think twice before grabbing the diamond ring and dumping the other guy...however,for a guy to wake up and propose to u without prior courtship or even dating,is just absurd.I don't really knw his intent.But,i advise u stick with the other guy u are engaged to and remain friends with supposed footballer.

You don't sound like your inlove with ur Fiance.

Does ur Fiance know about your relationship with the footballer?

Can u just tell a little about the times u spend with ur friend wen u were @ his place?

is it really that bad?

Lol, my fiance has been my friend forever, I love him a lot, he is already a part of my life. He knows I have a footballer client, I also have other important clients as well.

My client has a lot of investments scattered all over the world, my job is to help manage his portfolio, and reconcile his accounts, a specialized form of banking. I have a very professional relationship with my client, even when he invites or sponsors me to UK or Europe on vacation, I tidy his accounts, visit his other banks request for his account information i will need back home. Sometimes I go to watch his matches, he barely has time esp when they are in season, but nevertheless, our relationship is very platonic and professional.

Sometimes I go the extra mile and carry out concierge services for him, which is also part of my job...I dont think I have ever been unprofessional with him to give him the wrong signals

Naija guyz dat's called spending and he didn't see her pant o in contrast to what we read at nairaland almost everyday mtcheew.
Op better person,what u d was right jare but don't u love ur fiancee?

then u made the best decision ever and I probably think the footballer loved the way u were taking care of his finances and saw the opportunity to finally being with u,u were wrong coz u didn't tell him wen u got engaged and fixed ur love life.

He was still hung up on the fact that ur single,he was waiting for u to mend ur heart,find urself again.

For his leaving without telling u,he was still upset and m sure he needed tym to cool off!

Well that's ma opinion

Stick with your engaged SO. Dont let the glitter distract you. He wont always be a football player. You hardly know him aside from the phone calls concerning his account. It can be any of your clients...you shouldnt have second thoughts when you've decided on issues like that...dont let the attraction of the unknown/mysterious make you lose something beautiful.

I say, sqeulch every thoughts of him and invest all those emotions and soul into ur fiance. Treasure what you have.

luvmijeje: Naija guyz dat's called spending and he didn't see her pant o in contrast to what we read at nairaland almost everyday mtcheew.

He has a special part in my heart,I actually do love him, but remember I was in love with someone for 3years, who I built my life around, forgive me if I still thread cautiously. The good thing is the friendship we share, it has brought us this far, and as far as I am concerned, I'd rather opt for someone who loves me more, which my fiance does.

What is most important is that I can live with my fiance, I can spend the rest of my life with him, I am sure of that...but that crazy wow feeling of 'LOVE' u expect me to feel...I did that before, it didnt work. Now, I'd rather love with my head

OP, am suspecting this story..no offence.

Sponsored trip, no kpansing, even when you broke off from ya previous. Hotel runs, diamond ring. Above all .....footballer in premier league!

Pls, wake up from that dream! Na malaria be dat.,!

Being Victoria Beckham aint easy

OP, I'm nt saying u shd ve collected his ring n said yes. All I'm saying is WHERE IS GOD in this equation? Yes ur fiance is ur friend bla bla bla, I dt blame d footballer dude 4 doing what he did, cuz I think he was observing u quietly. I kw u ve fixed ur wedding bt my sister pray very 2 b sure ur nt settling 4 d available. D fact dat u were tempted 2 wear d ring n even came 2 NL 2 seek advice tells me indeed ur confused. D only solution is prayer becuz it only God dat knws d heart of men.

Madam Southy: ur funny I like

My dear, Life for easy sha as a WAG ooo, bt I can only dream, I have chosen the path in life I will lead, besides, it will feel strange dating my client...I cant see him as anything else, but a client..

God gave us free will, and gave us the ability to make choices. Whatever choice I make, God will guide me through it. That is my opinion about life and marriage. The choice is mine, God will endorse it.

If he is really your client, you think it's professional to say this story in public forum knowing fully well your "CLIENT" is a public figure and a footballer in premier league?

If the story is true then you are not a professional because story like this shows you can never be trusted with such a huge amount.

Infact, just like I said,

You guys are so negative, because u cannot attain sumtin u think sum1 else cannot? With her story, I assume she is a private banker/wealth manager. Usually, they handle their clients wealth portfolio and consolidate on their behalf. The 'client' can instruct his bank to give her the account information she requires.

Secondly, how many nigerians play for the english league? She didn't say Barclays premiere league, I can safely assume he plays for any of the lower divisions. So u want to say u know all the nigerians that play in england?

U guys speak like morons! With her kind of job it will be easy to meet such clients, all she has to be is professional in her dealings!
OP, like they said, pray about ur situation, God will perfect all that concerns you

Even though this looks like a story to me i will still make my own contribution.

@ Op you can decieve some people but not all. You are sleeping(se.x) with the footballer, i can bet my life with that. Now you are in a dilema that you are about getting married to your fiance, the one your claiming to love. Your original intention is to come and ask nairalanders if it is advisable to continue sleeping with the footballer as a married woman, but you dont know how to ask us.

With your story of all this things the guy does for you, vacations in europe, hotels etc. just tell us directly that you are confused on whether you should continue having se.x with the footballer. Then i will advise you on what to do.

Lolzzzzzz............... do you think everyone on nairaland are kids?

Carry on jare nothing do you, but make sure you carry you fiance children and not the footballers own oooooooo
