Some naija ladies are not happy you gat hold of a good one. dont listen to their advise.
The phrase your husband use is normal in Nigeria esppecially among the yorubas.
its nothing to worry about. go and enjoy your husband.
Thats a trivial issue. believe me.
As per age, anyone can use any age.

@ ThiefOfHearts

I quite agree with you in many of the things you've said. But, the man is working and taking care of his family.

What do you think about that?

I never said he was a horrible person. I just hope she knows this marriage wll MOST likely be temporary.

All of you making excuses for the texts.

"I am taking the kids and their mom to the park" ---If I heard that I would think the man is a stepfather/non-biological. The fact that he detaches himself in the statement is very telling. again I know you people will make excuses for your own so you can just ignore me sha cheesy

A normal dude ould say "We're taking the kids to the park" "My wife and I are goibng to the park with the kids", "their mother" suggests that the kids arent even his sef but like I said have fun coming up with all sorts of excuses. cheesy

@Sarahmaria,

Seriously, being suspicious in a relationship will do you no good, especially when you know that even if your worst fears are confirmed, you are going nowhere.

Just talk to him about your fears (which is what you are feeling, this is not the discovery of incriminating evidence)

People do lie and they do deceive, Nigerian men included, but to be honest with you, nothing you have said hear seems to be incriminating.

What exactly do you suspect is happening? and be honest with yourself as to WHY

If you saw him with a young lady and he explained her away as his "sister", or you saw his facebook page and he claimed to be a single father or an unmarried bachelor THEN fine, feel sad.

If you visited his parents and it seemed as though they didn't even know about you, THEN I could understand.

You are known, accepted and liked by his MOTHER, there is no higher "authority" in his family to impress, lol

When you saw the text, that you are "their Mother", you dont know the tone intended because texts and emails have a cold feel and impersonal feel, unless extra effort is made to counteract it, like smiley faces and hearts.


He is not going to text a third person "I am going out with my children, and their angelic, love of my life, Goddess of a wife, (who btw is also their mother), he is not hiding you or denying you just because he did not expressly refer to you as his wife.

This doesn't mean that he isn't lying about something else, but really this is not a big deal.

However, this is not about what the rest of us are comfortable with, you are his wife and the mother of his kids and if you prefer to be referred to in a particular way, then, that's what should be done.

Sometimes, when a foreign women marries a Nigerian not enough space is given to where SHE is coming from and HER culture, the whole relationship gets taken over by his Nigerian identity and that's not what a relationship should be.

Before you talk to him, be rational and talk to yourself, what REALLY is the issue?

You do have a point though, but there needs to be more than that for OP to be sad or worry.
Re: I Am Sad by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:21pm On Jul 18, 2011
^you know of any man that would lie about his age, londoner?

If a man can lie about his age, you dont think she has a reason to wonder about bigger things?

Just curious.

Unlike others in denial this isnt the first time we've heard of such crap esp on here. Remember sstawoman? the black american? Her husband told her he was from Akure in Anambra.

Do you or anyone here know of a place in Nigeria called Akure, Anambra? He too had weird dates on his documents.

Just because the guy in question is Nigeria doesnt mean I wont tell her to shine her eyes. Im a woman first before I am Nigerian.

I would say few nigerian guys do lie about their age but when it comes to nigerian women its a chronic disease for nigerian girls because a majority of them lie about their age.I remember about this song by Alex O when i was a kid about a lady doing her birthday and saying she was 22 and many ppl also observed that five yrs ago she was also 22 yrs.A nigerian woman in her 40s would lie that she"s in her late 20s because she wants to date young men.
Re: I Am Sad by ThiefOfHearts(f): 8:28pm On Jul 18, 2011
What is your point? Women in general shave years from their ages. However for a guy that is NOT normal. There lies the issue.

@TOH

Akure in Anambra, Lol.

I don't know any guys who would lie about their age. The main circumstance where a Naija man will do it is to "match up" with his official documents.


It could just be that and nothing else or it could be one of many concealments, but at the end of the day that applies to all human beings.

The OP does need to be aware of things happening which dont add up, but she shouldn't go looking for "evidence" of wrongdoing.

If he is lying and she asks him, he will only lie further, but honestly, I think there isn't anything major that she should be alarmed about IMO.

you guys failed to sport that the Op is not from an English speaking baground.cos the way and manner she goes about her wordings are so backward.Op what country are you from PLZ dont say UK cos that will just be a scam.
Re: I Am Sad by londoner: 9:09pm On Jul 18, 2011
Erico, its quite obvious she is not a native English speaker, or is multi-lingual.

What does it matter? We all got the crux of what she was trying to say.


Off topic, so many Nigerians of supposed "English speaking" background, absolutely murder the English language here.

Re: I Am Sad by munaco: 9:13pm On Jul 18, 2011
sarah, it is a common language in 9ija. i see no reason for that (children's mother) because in 9ija we called names like mama chichi, mama segun, mama abou. Nothing spoil but talk to ur husband that ur prefer a sexy name.
Re: I Am Sad by dayokanu(m): 9:25pm On Jul 18, 2011
ToH,

Most Naija men would call their wives by their childrens name. e.g My parents were mama Dayo, baba Dayo Mummy Dayo or Daddy Dayo since i have known them. She even has a way of calling Ba"Dayo like its one word
Re: I Am Sad by ypad: 9:39pm On Jul 18, 2011
are@Poster, in marriage there  many things you need to overlook.
"He said, he is taking the children and their mum out". I do not see anything wrong with the word. He acknowledged you as the mother of his children.
As for age, I 'll advise you not to take what you saw on facebook serious.

meanwhile talk it out with your man. http://greatwomanwithlove..com/2011/03/kids.html

both of you should chose a pet name for yourself. http://greatwomanwithlove..com/2011/07/cute-names.html
remember age do not have anything to do with love. face your man and leave the age issue.

I dont see the correlation between that and the wording of the text. Sorry

why didnt he just say ___'s mom and I are going out to the park if that's the excuse you wanna use?
Re: I Am Sad by marabout(m): 9:45pm On Jul 18, 2011
SaraMaria,

I think because your house/marriage is too peaceful, you're trying to manufacture some unhappiness for yourself.
It was exactly why i did not marry a white lady. To much suspicion. I was engaged at various times to white ladies.
Me and the first got engaged to spite her parents who were "card-carrying" racists. Deep down I knew that I could not marry a girl with so much opposition from her parents. At some point, they will succeed in seperating us.  I am practical person. You have surmounted those initial huddles and things are going just great.

The second girl would be asking all kind of annoying/demeaning questions whenever she came back from visiting parents.
Once she told me of a conversation with her parents. They said I needed papers from her, she told them that he has the same passport she has, then they claimed that I must want her money: she defended me that in fact I have shown her how not to waste money including saving up for mortagage or investment. Then they claimed that I must need something from her. YES I NEEDED SOMETHING IN DEED: just old fashioned love.

These marriages face lots of challenges many of them because of unnecessary suspicion. His age could well be more than he told you (even facebook cannot really prove that) but that maybe due to his circumstances on arriving in Europe (not justifying it) but does it make him a bad father or husband??

I cannot vouch for his fidelity but will saying to the person on phone that he was going to playground with his kids and his Zukerpueppchen/cherie coco/chococate darling once and for all stop him from having another woman if he really wanted to?
Enjoy what you have and stop worrying. No matter how much you worry, you can hardly change the future.
