My Boyfriend Is Married In Nigeria! by Namzgurl: 10:45pm On Dec 25, 2012
Ok, I have been with my boyfriend for almost eleven years and I love him very much. I am African American and he is Nigerian (Igbo) he inspired me to go back to school when I first met him, now I am an RN. He happens to be a doctor here in US. We have gone on many trips but none to Nigeria. I have never met anyone from his family and he has a sister that lives about 30Min away from him whom he says he is not close with. I spend quite a bit of time at his home but he has never left me alone there nor do I have a key, but he doesn't have one to my place either. About 7 years ago he told me his sisters didn't approve of our relationship and we decided to end it we both hugged and cried. I was devastated, Three months went by and he called me telling me he loved me and missed me and didn't want to lose me. So, During this time a friend of mine told me she seen him and another women at the post office together. So about 2 weeks later he showed up at my door and we went to dinner to talk and ended up being intimate that night. That same night I noticed a ring on his finger and Said what did u go and get married and he said no it was a gift his sister bought him and since I have never seen it again. Since we got back together back in 2007 he has consistently tried to get me to gave a baby, but i refuse. My daughter has often said she thinks he is married and I feel it is true,he goes home once a year for 6 weeks. I have asked him and he denies it. So, recently I was on his computer at his home and it got a virus, I told him I would take it the following day to the computer store to get it removed. I know if you look for stuff u will find it. Well, I was on his computer and I opened up 2 files and one was a marriage certificate from the church in Nigeria (Enugu) and it was dated 2007 and the other was a passport showing his true age he is 10 years older than he told me he was which I'm ok with the age but why lie and married. I am torn and why doesn't his wife live here? I need advice, I so love this man and he babies me and is so affectionate. Who can live a double life and what if I would have had a baby, he is not going to leave his wife. Help!!! I was 27 when I met him and thought he was 31 years.

What other help do you need? Thank God you're not in my village, I would have called all the village women to surround you and clap on top ya head for taking over another man's wife.

How can you live/stay/be with someone for 11years without a meaningful first or second - hand information? You even saw an evidence (a ring) on his finger after 11years, yet you're defending his lies.


I know what you want to hear but I will not say it... some other rock-bottom posters are free to tell you though. Its none of my business.

Nigerian men are God's gift to woman-kind# or is women kind - abeg anyone atleast you understand the message

we are the best when it comes to relationships, child upbringing, we got the culture, we dont cheat and did i forget to say we are the best in bed too cool

Why should you be in a relationship for that long without having a direction. 11 goods years and all you both do is say "i love you to each other".... From what i can deduce, may be you never wanted to marry him, you just want him as a friend... else you would have asked him about his future plan with you. Deed has been done. Now that he is married, try to move on with your life. My 2 cent.

Pele, you've been played for a fool. How can you date someone for eleven whole years and not have met any member of his family or friends? Where you not suspicious or worried? Didn't you ask questions?? Chai, some women just like putting themselves into unnecessary problems, problems that could have been avoided easily.... undecided

Personally, for me if i haven't met a potential interests family or friends within two weeks of getting to know him, i either stop talking to him or ask questions, if they aren't reasonable enough for my liking i just block his number and move on, no time for time wasters.

My advise to you is to move on, the man in question is married and has no intentions of leaving his wife for a side piece. Good luck on your future endeavours.

Leason to be learned:

If you are an Akata or oyibo and are dating an African, at least get to meet 2 or 3 female relatives or friends of his before thinking about marriage.

However, there's nothing bad in being a 2nd wife as long as the love and mutual respect is there... And if the 1st wife is willing to share her man(she should anyway since she lives across the Atlantic)...

More reason why polygamy should be legalised around the world... grin

If polygamy should be legalised.. Then the law's of the land should develop a law whereby the first wife gets to keep the house and all the properties they had if she doesn't agree with it.. Simples grin angry

JacksonHuston: Why men always do thing like that? They just can't deal with themself!

Don't judge the man, bro..

African culture is so complicated and you can't really judge from the outside...

The man was probably coerced by relatives/family in Nigeria to marry someone from his village or something...

In our culture, we don't date someone for over eleven yrs without getting married. I understand your frustration and sometimes we deny ourselves from the truth even if it hurt just when we found someone we love. You have proven that he is married, guess the decision is yours to handle. In nutshell, dump him no matter how difficult it is. My honest opinion...

Dumping someone after 11 years is going to be difficult, bro...

She should think critically about what's best for her - at least the other wife lives thousands of miles away....

Re: My Boyfriend Is Married In Nigeria! by kittykat1(f): 2:27am On Dec 26, 2012
Be strong and move on. From the responses you see, you can see that in Nigeria, women are always blamed when a relationship goes wrong. I do not blame you cos I can relate to your situation. That's Nigerian men for you. Polygamy is openly accepted in Nigeria and so the ppl never blame the man when he cheats.


I feel your pain dearie. For your own good, leave 9ja men alone. You ar not emotionally trained to handle their dramas. Unfaithfulness is legal in 9ja. Please find your own ppl. Thanks

Re: My Boyfriend Is Married In Nigeria! by mimifonwon(f): 2:34am On Dec 26, 2012
my dear if he married her in 2007, that means he must have married her when yall split, the moment he told you his sister didnt approve, i think that was the clue. I dont get you 11years, you should have tied him down within 2 yrs, talk of 11yrs, you are the cause of your own problem. One thing about most educated igbo men, that are traditional which your man sound like, if you get pregnant for him he would have had to marry, you. Its obvious he loves you or care about you for igbo men i know spoil girls they care. I think you are the one he loves, but the wife he just got is out of cultural obligations. SO wait my sister, before you know it that wife he will bring over will start misbehaving and he will come back to you, mark my word.
