What sort of wicked man is this?

-Canceled the UAE resident visa of your and your two kids,
-Prevented you from traveling to Canada after passing the IELTS,
-Lied that he was going to the UAE but secretly went to the UK instead,
and has ceased communication with you and the kids since.

You can tell how someone feels about you by their consistent actions towards you and this is one of those situations. From your post, it seems he wants out of the marriage, or perhaps he has another family somewhere. It's also VERY obvious that he cannot be trusted and that he does not want you to succeed in life. I would advice you to start thinking of the way forward for you and your children; start planning your life and that of your children's without him (he has removed himself from the picture anyway) and without telling him a thing/involving him in the plans. Good luck.

Mrs Abu, your issue is not one that conclusions could be made hastily.
Infact many wives would have set all hell loose.
I personally would have advised that you should have retailiated by seizing his international passport, or just cause some kind of havoc that will hold him back in Nigeria .... or restrict his freedom

But while I acknowledge and appreciate your tolerance according ''to your own side of the story", it would be easier if we could hear your husband's side of the story.

I mean, there are things you could be doing that's making your hubby abhor and avoid you.

How's your attitude like around him?
Does he complain about you being stubborn?
What exactly has he tried to stop you from doing but you wouldn't listen?

Mrsabuh1:
please I seek advise from experts here as I'm lost and devastated over this issue , please bear with me as my story is a little bit long.
this is the 7th year of my marriage and the union is blessed with three kids, hubby and I stayed in UAE, but whenever I'm pregnant I come down to have my kids due to cost and also I ll b needing helping hands after delivery , it happened that when I came down to have my last child 3years ago as ,and as usual I was preparing to return to UAE , I discovered that my Husband had canceled the resident visa for myself and our two kids, when I confronted him he said he is making plans to leave UAE and there was no point for us coming back and also business isn't moving as usual so taking care of us will cause a strain on his finances ..at first I felt bad and cried about it but later I accepted my fate and moved on .
first plan was for me to apply for Canada study visa, the plan was to go with my last child and after sometimes hubby and my other kids can join me later , I got admitted into a Canadian college but when the time for visa processing hubby pulled out that we should go the express entry way , I accepted and started with registering for ielts tutorials which I did for 5weeks ,and to God b the glory I aced my exam , it was left for him to write his as he ll b standing as the primary applicant since he has lots of job experience but along the line he pulled out again and said everyone is going to Canada and he ll work out something different .
last year he applied for US visa he was denied, he applied for Germany too, still denied . while he was doing all this I was alone in Nigeria with the kids while he stays in UAE but visits every 5months .. this year June we had some issues that would ve resulted to divorce but we settled it with the help of some elders so he said he was going to make up for his mistake by applying for UK for both of us so we can just take a vacation to London , of course I was excited and looking up for the trip.
he applied for UK visa for both of us and lucky they granted us 6months, I was already getting set and looking forward to the trip when he said he needed to rush down to UAE as he has some unfinished business , two days after he left I saw him updated his fb and the location was showing UK , he left without me and he didnt even Informed me that he ll b going untill he got there , when I confronted him he came up with the excuse that he needed to meet with some companies over investment so that way he can process resident permits for everyone at home so we all come over there at once , two days later he told me he got a job .
its been 2months over there already, we filed our stay for 10days when applying for the visa and I know what he has done is messing his future chances up , now he doesn't do video call, won't pick my calls when I call at my own time , from 7pm he isn't active as no way I can reach him, before now the only time he put a call across is when he is in a bus .. I confronted him over all this and guess what. ,he has stopped talking to me , Wont reply my chats or even talk to me yet he reads them ,our sons bday was 4days ago and he couldn't even call to speak with him or wish him happy birthday.
I'm so confused ,this is the man that I have lost lot of jobs opportunity for simply because he doesnt want me to work, I learnt fashion designing so it won't be like I'm staying at home doing nothing, I run a fashion store but trust me I'm not feeling it because its not what I'm meant to do ..In two months time I will b 30 and you know how nig systems works, the older you get, the lesser chances of getting a job I dont even know what to do with myself ,please advise me what to do ?
I'd also like those who ve an idea of how the system in UK works to tell me how long it takes for one to b granted residential permits in the UK so I ll know when all this will end or if it ll ever end so I can make my next move
also how possible it is for one to land UK and in two days he is already working .
I feel used, I feel like hubby used me to secure a visa and I was never in his plans..I reported the issues to our family already and he Told them all he did was for the future of myself and the kids and I shld endure but I do not know for how long..,I'm tired of this distsnce marriage ,its been 3years in distance marriage and its been hell for me.
MOD please help me post this

You should be able to take decisions that will better your life, because when push comes to shove no man will sit at home or turn down a juicy job because his wife said 'NO'. "Love and honor your husband, but be very wise in marriage"

egwekwe:
This is your side of the story.. If we ask your husband I'm sure he'll as his as well .

But as married couple, you're meant to be honest with yourselves.

Your husband might be struggling financially and not able to fund your travelling . Some african man feels egoistic about this type of issue

Anytime he's back in Nigeria, tell him how you feel.. Tell him you're completely fed up and depressed.

His reaction should answer you.

femi4:
Its what it is.....A man has to do just what he has to do

cococandy:
So his best way to convey that is to leave her in the dark and travel out to the country?

You make sense to yourself like this?
