This Woman in Lagos Genuinely Loves Me? (US Citizen)

hot-angle i thot u knew trooper personally... as in probably u guys do see in the US or u were the one who invited him to nairaland. could i be wrong?

i reserve my comment, because

Hi Trooper,
What a nice predicament you have. A Nigerian Princess dying for your undying attention, so what's  the problem, let me tell you brother. Take your chances in this world, we only live once, but approach with caution.
Firstly, you have to ascertain what the urgency is in her trying to see you within a week
Secondly, how would a travel agent call you to inquire if you are paying for her ticket? (sounds strange, i can smell a rat)
Thirdly,i think it is imperative for you to take a trip to Nigeria, to see her, then if you like what u see, you could then take this relationship to another level.
Lastly, you do not what to think you are chatting to Halle Berry, and end up with princess froggy.
Hope you have fun in Nigeria. (on the assumption that you would travel, before she comes over)

Trooper, we do believe you're white.

We, at Nairaland are here to answer your questions in anyway we can. Please don't get upset over Nddy's comments.

wishing you the very best with your Nigerian babe.

Trooper, Sorry been away for a while.
In my opinion, stall for time. a girl that really loves you will always be patient. the fact that she is putting a time limit and that travel agencies are already contacting you makes me feel that it is all a sham. I've had a few friends that were into all these Yahoo runs(419) and the way things are being played out is begining to seem quite familiar. in my opinion tell her this.
1. Tell her that unfortunately it will be more costly to send the money through western union and that you need to buy the ticket for her from there and send it to her.
2. tell her due to security measures in the US now that the travel agencies there need a scanned or photocopy of her visa sent to them, so she should send it to you so you can forward it to them.
(that will make you know whether she has a visa or not.)
3. if she agrees to all that and she does have a valid visa, then you can take the risk of buying the ticket for her. Please do not send the money over to her under any circumstances.
If she is not for real, she may try and find ways not to do what you asked and picking a fight with you might be one of them, especially concerning sending the money down and the visa thing.

These are just ideas that might help you find out if she is for real or not. GOOD LUCK

_{Ps i hope she is for real}

LoL. You are welcome, I have nothing else to tell u. 

hot-angel people think it's obviously 419 because of a thing called "experience". most likely u havent encountered or heard about the horrors/tricks Nigerians use to get money from foreigners on the internet.

Trooper what more can i say. we have all advised u. do want u want to do, send her money if u wish. it's your life. whether u're white black or brown won't affect what we'll eat tomorrow . anyway because we still love u i suggest u go and read Showlove's comment again. peace!

Let me tell u bro, you shouldn't waste your time with this miserous lady at the other end... Everything is arranged with some guys. There's no such street name in Lagos... Guys have done it before and they succeed in getting some $$$ from genuine US Citizen seeking love in Nigerian ladies. From what I've read so far, its all calculated steps. (1). Have u seen this so-called lady before, maybe through scanning her picture(s) to you or chatting online using webcam??? (2). Have u spoken with any of her brother or sister or relation(s) (3). When and how did you get in touch with her (Did u or she got in touch with u first) (4) Have u guys ever discussed about US Visa before u told her u want to come visit her??? (5). Is it when u said u will be coming to Nigeria to see her that she came up with this idea of u sending her ticket money??? Infact, I could keep on asking lots of questions here, because it hurts me to see how Nigerians (Guys and Ladies) do things to damage the Nigerian name. I have seen guys travel from US to Nigeria to marry Nigerian ladies and vice versa u know, but this story I just read is nothing but u know.but let me not conclude yet, I want u to answer those questions and I will tell u the result if this is genuine or scam...

Did she scan the Visa she said she has? If she can scan the passport, she should be able to scan the Visa she said she has.

@ hot-angel, the passport looks fake to me and further (s)he said it's impossible to Scan the visa because of some stickers.

@ Seun - no money will be sent as this person made too many mistakes. Just finished up with him or her. If I was wrong, I will burn in hell.

Let's close this topic, ok ?

All fraudsters have a passport/Id in that name with which they can claim any money the victim sends through western union.Its a common practise. Fake passports can be made easily @ Oluwole , Lagos.
Did she scan the visa on the ppt (with her name on it)?
Why don't u just chat with her cam to cam? Then u'll know if its a HE or SHE. As far as i'm concerned, this woman is a IT. Period!

@Seun
Ticket too can be sold. "With Naijamen, anything is possible!"

@Latoya - I told her to move on and leave me alone

@layi - what do you mean with "IT" ?

@legs - thanks !

Good for you, she seems to be a fraud

_{And VISA's cann be scanned. that was the craziest excuse i've heard in a while.}

funny, why wldnt she be able to scan the visa bit. doggy girl. she took u for a fool lol .
no offence

I agree with hot-angel. A white guy who comes to a Nigerian forum to seek their opinion on this love-wa-tin-tin issue with this naija babe is the wisest man in this world. Love blind am but he still dey see small small.
Trooper, a beg run fast. Don't touch that babe ( who probably are 419 guys anyway ) with a long pole.  Naija guys are out to fleece you. Run, white brother, run!

I honestly would like to thank you guys for all your effort trying to help me out of this situation. I really appreciate allthe comments you guys have posted. Critical or not, it doesn't matter.All of them were very interesting. I hope I did the right thing when telling her / him or IT to take the train and get lost......

Thank you !

Trooper

Trooper, i felt terrible about your situation Looks like it's 100% scam. But maybe we should start by saying some truth about our selves. Are u really a white and an American. No offence oh.  I noticed something really funny when i was reading your post
I do not judge people for their colour  I know for sure Americans donot spell Colour with a "You" as we do back home. Unless you are a British that i will understand.
Again No offence
