I joined Nairaland to try learn about his culture, learn to cook his food etc,

a long line of women (and gay men!!!) he's trying to scam

tpia@:

about time nigerian food was commercialized for a wider international market, or why is it still considered exclusively nigerian since so many non-nigerians have said they like it after being introduced to it.

i mean, if nollywood had the same success, then why not nigerian food, especially pounded yam.

though it could be high in calories sha.

i enjoy pizza and i didnt have to date anyone before i did so.

likewise chinese food, etc.

tpia@:

^^that's my point.

i dont think nigerian food should be eaten solely because someone is dating a nigerian man.

if the product is good and appealing to a lot of non-nigerians, then it doesnt have to be tied to the men's apron springs.

it ought to transcend that, imo.

and i dont think egusi is eaten only in nigeria btw.

@poster

I can give you some advice but would prefer to discuss it offline that's if you don't mind. 

Else find a time sit down and talk to him about your suspicion. If he really is interested in you, he will tell you the truth. It's up to you how you feel about the whole relationship and whether to continue.

Soooo I guess I should apologise that my first exposure to Nigerian food was via a boyfriend?

This is my first post, although I've been lurking for a while- hi guys
I'm a European girl dating a Nigerian boy, we've been together about 6 months. We met while I was vacationing in the city he lives in. Since then we've met up many times, I am a broke student so he always pays my flights and pretty much looks after me 100% when we're together. He's always thrown money around a lot, and I've always wondered how he got his hands on his cash considering he doesn't actually have a job on top of school. Recently, I did a little snooping (wrong I know) and I think I found out- he's a member of dozens and dozens of dating sights in every country imaginable, with profiles under a bunch of different pseudonyms. I've heard (and been warned about) Nigerian scammers before, but I seriously thought this guy was just your average international student like me. He's never asked me for money, he knows I don't have any to give him, but now I'm feeling like one in a long line of women (and gay men!!!) he's trying to scam. It's so crazy, I joined Nairaland to try learn about his culture, learn to cook his food etc, I never thought I'd end up one of those pathetic women crying "I love a scammer!!!"
Anyone have any perspective on this? I seriously don't know what to do, I love this guy but looks like he's a huge liar

kpolli: first, he aint scamming u, secondly, he is scamming others to take care of u, so give the broda some credit pls

I know this is an old topic, but what happened with that guy??

How does that concern you?

miss-sweety86:


I asked out of curiosity and because I'm facing a somehow similar situation

Mynd_44:
The person is probably nor on NL anymore. I suggest you call the guy and ask him about the source of his money. Don't take no foe an answer and if hiv answer is not satisfactory, you know what to do

apache77:

For a European, you write good English. You must have gone to good schools. No pun intended, toots, but most of the European girls who come on here write so much gibberish you get a headache trying to read them.

Or did you by any chance attend a Nigerian school?

Back to topic: He loves you and cares for you. If he wasn't buying you all those fancy clothes and shoes, would you be here saying you want to learn to cook his food n learn his culture? Leave the hustler jor.Dont go snooping into his business again..shagg him and mind your business
