Middle-class mother who fell in love with Nigerian she met on web, and didn't hesitate when he asked for £40k to fund oil scam.
What a shame. Some Nigerian men have no shame.
I was madly in love with him. I still am.' Romance scamming, as it is known, is more common than ever, with British women at greater risk than those of any other nationality.
Because British women are so damn ugly. Fact.
‘He was vague about his age,’ she says. ‘First it was 47, then 37. He told me that when he applied for a visa to travel to South Africa, he had been advised to say 27 so that he could make out he was a student going to the World Cup.
‘After two emails, he phoned. I knew the moment I heard him that he wasn’t Greek.’ In fact, while ‘Sab’s’ English was limited, he most certainly did not speak the language of Sophocles, preferring a version of pidgin laced with dialect and slang that is widely spoken in Nigeria.
‘I challenged him about it but he laughed,’ says Caroline. For all his obvious lies, she found him attractive. ‘We messaged and emailed every day.
The way she smiles. She seldom raises her voice. She is very assertive without being rude. She is a patient mother. She does not keep too many friends. She is an introvert. Great sense of humor. She is hard-working. Extremely domesticated and very organized. A great cook. Intellectually stimulating. She is beautiful and adorable. Her taste in clothes and classy fashion sense. Her great curves, and fine mind.
Most importantly, she is the greatest lover I have ever had. Not a bush woman at all. (I must confess, she taught me quite a few things I never knew in the bedroom, and more)
No, she is not a perfect human being. But her positives sides are way too many and I don't remember her negative sides.
Are these guarantees to a successful marriage? Do all these apply to polygamous marriages and unions?
There are several reasons why you should save yourself for marriage and wait patiently until the wedding night. The night should be a time of discovery and presentation of the golden gift by one partner to the other.
Of what use is this if the people involved have underlying psychiatric issues unresolved even after the discovery night? What happens when the discovery ceases to be the greatest wonder of the world and other personality disorders become manifest?
Way more complicated that all this. It takes a whole lot more than saving ourslves for marriages.
Men do not save themselves till the wedding night. Why is it expected of women then?
Or there would be no divorced virgins on this planet earth.
I really do not understand why Africans should be talking about prenuptial agreements when both the man and the woman in the marriage are always broke. Unless you are a looting politician. Then, oh well. How many Africans in the diaspora have a savings account not to mention a prenuptial agreement?

I thought this only happens in third world countries where the journalists and government officials do not take their time to properly investigate issues before publishing or acting on them.
A black man rules the US and the US automatically a third world. Too much of an African and not enough of an American(except for his loud mouth). Pitiful. Glad she is ok. I hope Mrs. Sherrod is ok. What a nightmare.
Siena: I did wonder too. What an analogy! Priceless.
Doing super. Know you are doing the same as always. You still digging this story? I think we all need to let go till the DNA results are available for posterity. I am really glad the couple has agreed to extensive DNA testings.

Quote from: cryptic on July 23, 2010, 10:17 AM On what grounds are you making this claim? Were u there when mary did the hoopla?
This is quite interesting. Let's have a look.
A woman gets pregnant. Two persons have different views as to how that happened.
Person 1: Has the view that, as is consistent with human reproductive experience, the woman had gotten pregnant from s.exual intercourse.
Person 2: Has the view that an intangible spiritual entity magically made her pregnant without intercourse.
Which view is more consistent with reason, human experience and common sense? ? ? ?
And some how I am the one being deleuded? Well, your choice, son.
Quote from: ~Sauron~ on July 23, 2010, 10:26 AM Only a complete retard with spermflakes in his brain cavity would write something like this. How old are you? Are you mentally-handicapped? Were you born brain dead? I need to know these answers before i know what to do to your state of mind. . . .
On no account would you receive from me that which you give: namely knee jerk insults arising from a void.
There is a well studied psychological phenomenon amongst human beings and this is it; when a human being is unable to address a glaring (and painful) internal inconsistency in his beliefs, he is most likely to convulsively explode.
[size=16pt]That explosion has appeared in the form of your insults - I take no offence in the least; I merely recognise that which is obvious: namely that you are deeply pained by the absurdity that emerges as your conviction:[/size]
It is simply and civilly pointed out to you that it is not very likely that a woman would get pregnant without intercourse - and you have made exactly no logical rebuttal of that reasonable proposition. What you have done is simply evince the truth; namely that you have no answer to that obvious illogicality which happens to be your conviction. In this you are sadly supported by a group of people who have not proffered any reasonable rebuttal in that regard.
Accordingly I see no reason as yet to retract the very simple proposition that I laid before you; namely that people to not get pregnant by spiritual or magical means; but by s.exual intercourse or artificial insemination - which was not available two thousand years ago.
It is hardly my cup of tea that you subscribe to ancient semitic myths which would certainly sound ludicruous to you if they were tales of your own ancestors.
Quote He wouldn't stand in a bus-stop and spew the same crap about Jesus but he's using his anonymity on the internet to blaspheme. I dunno why people get erections by abusing the God millions of people serve whole-heartedly.
This is where I have a problem. And further this is what I mean by thoughtless knee-jerk reactions. You have stated –
1. That I have blasphemed.
2. That I have “abused’ God.
I am aghast at these conclusions. From where did you get the notion that questioning the likelihood of a pregnancy arising without s.exual intercourse, amounts to blasphemy? We are well past the age of reason, dear friend. If we are entitled to question such things as men turning into frogs, surely we are entitled to question an ancient story which tells us that a woman conceived a baby out of thin air.
Now I would urge you to be more perceptive. At time of that supposed event, the punishment for s.exual activity outside wedlock was death by stoning. What do you suppose a young female who is pregnant outside of wedlock would do? Admit that she has had s.ex? Or blame it on the Holy Ghost?
You riddle me with laughter. You do have miles to walk yet, son.
Again let us look at the second part of your statement. You stated that I have abused God! That is a grand presumption sir, for I did no such thing.
I drew out an analogy showing that it is unlikely that a woman may be pregnant without any form of natural conception. How does that amount to abusing God? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
[size=16pt]I do not know what your perception of the transcendental almighty God is: but I can assure you that I believe in God and worship God. My perception of God however, does not involve such things as miraculous pregnancies or rituals of any sort. I urge you not to make any presumptions in this regard. [/size]
Dress warm.
Now this I like. I just appreciate people who use their brains. An extremely rare occurence with the advent /prevalence of superstitious religions. Thanks Deep Sight. You view points are solid. I find your arguments well posited. Thanks for not degenerating to the level of an "Otigba" spare parts dealer. You are of a superior intelligence quota my good man. Keep it up.
Most definitely. I would stay. For I know that the chances of my finding another love to replace that which gave me my beautiful children can never be replaced. I will be there for my children. We already have way too many black men especially abandoning their children for other men to raise in blended families. I will never wish that for my children. Even if she leaves, I must do everything in my power to get full custody of my children. My children will never be raised by another man while I am alive.
Even if I have to play the door mat till my children are grown, I will. They will get to thank me when I am in my grave and that is good enough for me to put up with any form of abuse from my wife(not that she is). The children will always come first even where we disagree.
Siena: For those that are insisting the father has a DNA test carried out, I have just two questions:
1) Who is the DNA test meant to satisfy? Himself or the world? 2) How can anyone outside the hospital, or the man and wife, know if a DNA test hasn't already been carried out?
Let's see if anyone can give answers to the above!
As a man or woman involved in this saga, and for the benefit of my other children, it is IMPERATIVE that a DNA test be carried out on the mother, the father and the child to remove all doubt.
1. So, to answer your first question, all of above. For this is an unusual occurence scientifically-speaking. 2. No one knows if a DNA test has or hasn't been carried out. No one is volunteering much information about the whole story. One or several should be carried out immediately.
One thing is certain for sure. The ball has already been set rolling and will soon enter the goal post or go over the bar.
You can't even say for certain if this woman is the biological mother of this child. Could they have been switched at birth?
There are way too many unaswered questions in this single event. I would carry out a DNA test on my wife and the baby first. Then one on my self and the baby. I will not stop there for sure. I will test all my other children and the ones to come from now on. That is if I do not go under some kind of sterilization technique to prevent such occurences from happening in the future. I would love the child if it were mine if not more than my other children for this will be a pleasant surprise if all turns out well. But not before all doubts ehave been removed from my mind so I can look at my other children with all the confidence in the world and say to them : "Nmachi is your sister".
naijamini: That is the misunderstanding or ignorance I think is the basis of potential friction. They are not whinning about slavery - that is the "others" line. They are living the effects of slavery today, and because that is their unpalatable experience it does not seem reasonable to them that any completely "free" African from the mother continent would want to give up his "freedom". Therein lies the problem: Africans are not really free. We are ruled by the "same" colonialist in a different skin - and they are even more cruel than those of past centuries.
This here is only a SAD truth, but not something to be happy to do! It is the outcome of what happened in the past which we have not corrected, and so our future is tied to the whims of the same colonialists we asked to leave our land. Ah! This is what baffles the African-American, I believe. As I have heard it described Africans are acting like the elephant tied with a strong chain to a big tree for so long that when the chain is cut loose he refuses to leave - being so used to that condition he doesn't recognize freedom anymore. It would take a major new impetus, enough to overcome the strength and duration of the chaining, to get him moving again.
God bless you.
Bob Marley the prophet comes to mind.
The "Redemption' song. We need to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. We collectively still remain the proverbial 'Buffalo soldiers, stolen from Africa'.
Just wondering what the way forward mght be regarding this 'major impetus'. Like you aptly noted, enought to overcome the strenght and duration of the chaining(especially mentally) to get moving again.

At least Mississippi will be "mo" beta than Ajegunle.
Acidosis: This is funny. THEY SHOULD BE THANKING THEIR STARS!
Amen to that. While I do not want to live in those horrible times of the slavery business., I really do not see any reason why ANY African-American should be whinning about slavery. We are only descendants of what went down. My ancestors sold your ancestors. So? Move on please. You were not there, I was not there. Move on.
Right now, there should be an exchange program for those African Americans desparately searching for a place in the "Motherland".
I will gladly give up my spot and take his or hers even the darkest holes of Mississippi.
Let us just exchange passports please. I will gladly give any African-American my spot in Africa. No DNA necessary please.
The resentment will forever run deep. No end in sight. Blame the unfortunate occurence of slavery in the collective history of 'blacks'.
I have heard that African-Americans hold a grudge against Africa for slavery. While there is some basis for it I have never believed it to be anything that is general or considered to be a major factor in the black man's predicament in America or the world today.
Is it really true that, beyond street talk, there is a current of resentment against Africans for "you people sold us"? Should this be? How do we right the wrongs, while recognizing that nobody alive today sold anybody else alive today into slavery? With the level of suffering and the rate at which Africans are jumping by leg, makeshift boats, plane tires, and so on in addition to legitimate means, is there any real basis for resentment against those living on the mother continent today?
The greatest irony for many centuries to come. The African-Americans do not realize how fortunate they are, as they keep searching for that lost umbilical cord buried in Africa. Instead of making good the opportunity of being divorced from Africa by God Himself, they choose to whine and go a-hating. Many Africans are begging to be re-colonized or re-enslaved like you pointed out(myself inclusive) and MOST of the African-American races are looking for some DNA lost in Africa.
Damn if you do and damn if you don't. Human beings can never be satisfied.
The funniest part is that modern day slavery is still being practiced all over Africa in terms of many Africans being exported for cheap labor and sex trade in the 21st century.
A Nigerian couple based in Arlington, Texas in the United States of America (USA), is now facing the possibility of spending about 55 years in jail if convicted of an alleged slavery against a widow they brought to the US from Nigeria as a nanny.
The couple identified as Emmanuel Nnaji and Ngozi Nnaji is now standing trial before a Texas district court for allegedly holding their nanny, whose name was protected, against her will and without paying her for her services as a domestic staff.
An investigation report signed by Jennifer Baker, a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and approved by Charles Bleil, a judge, said the nanny was brought from Nigeria to the US under disguise and was held in servitude without payment for her services as domestic staff.
The indictment report said the couple kept the nanny, who has six children in Nigeria, in the US for nine years without access to her children and family.
Officials believe the Nnajis promised the woman that she would be paid, and there would be support for her children, if she came to work for them as a domestic servant.
Part of the seven-count indictment alleges that the couple used unscrupulous means to get fraudulent immigration documents, confiscated the victim's official documents, secretly kept her in their home and forced her to work long hours with no days off for little or no pay.
[size=16pt]Nnaji is also accused of sexually assaulting the victim and threatening the woman if she called police. [/size]
Officials claim the couple kept the woman isolated from the outside world and refused her requests to be returned home or be paid for her services.
Along with not paying the victim, the couple also allegedly failed to provide support for the victim's children back in Nigeria. Contact with her Nigerian family was also monitored and she was prevented from attending church regularly, the indictment report said.
Arrested on September 30, they have been charged with conspiracy, forced labor, document servitude, alien harboring and false statements.
Part of the charged read: "Knowingly and willfully combine, confederate, conspire and agree with each other and others known and unknown to the grand jury, to commit offences against the United States in violation of USC 1589, specifically, to provide or obtain the labour or services of a Nigerian female national known as C: (2) by means of a scheme, plan, and pattern intended to cause C to believe that, if she did not perform such labour and services, she would suffer serious harm or restraint and (3) by means of the abuse and threatened abuse of the law and legal processes, in violation of title 18, United states Code, sections 371 and 1589(a)(2) and (3)(2004)(amended by Public law 106-386, effective December 2008, and re-codified as Title 18 United States Code Sections 1589(a)(3) and (4).
"Knowingly and willfully combine, conspire and agree together with others known and unknown to the grand jury, knowing and in reckless disregard of the fact that C, an alien, came to, entered, and remained in the United States in violation of law, to conceal, habour and shield C from detection for the purpose of private financial gain: in violation of Title 8, United States Code, sections 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii), 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(I), and 1324(a)(I)(B)(i).
"knowingly conceal, remove, confiscate and posses the purported passport and immigration documents of an individual known as C in the course of a violation of Title 18, US code, section 1589; with the intent to violate Title 18, United states code, Section 1589; and to prevent or restrict or attempt to prevent or restrict, without lawful authority, C's liberty to move or travel, in order to maintain the labour or services of C when C was a victim of a severe form of human trafficking in persons; in violation of Title 18, US Code 1589.
Charge four specifically accused Ngozi Nnaji of lying about their servant's coming to the US.
It reads: "On or about December 4, 2006, the forth Worth division in the northern district of Texas or elsewhere, the defendant, Ngozi Nnaji, knowingly and willfully make false, fictitious and fraudulent statement or representation, when the defendant stated to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents the following: that in May 1999, C (whom the defendant, Ngozi Nnaji, identified by name), surprised Ngozi by showing up at her house; that at no time did C work as an employee for the Nnajis; and that C was not required to do any work around the house, when in fact, as the defendant well knew, C did not surprise Ngozi by showing up at her house but rather, was brought to the United States by the Nnajis in 1997 to perform child care as an employee; and that C was required to work for the Nnajis full time as their domestic servant and employee."
It also accused Nnaji of lying about the widow's remuneration as a domestic employee.
It said about Emmanuel Nnaji: "Knowingly and willfully make a materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation when the defendant stated to FBI agents the following: that C ( whom Emmanuel identified by name) came to stay with the Nnajis about May 1999 for two months at the request of C's relatives; that Emmanuel Nnaji never saw C's passport or personal documents and that C cared for Nnajis' child in exchange for room and board, when in fact, as the defendant well knew, C did not come to stay with the Nnajis about may 1999, for two months at the request of C's relatives but rather Emmanuel Nnaji recruited C through Ngozi's Nigerian relative and C came on or about December 11, 1997; that Emmanuel Nnaji did see C's passport and personal documents when he confiscated and kept them, and that C cared for not just one Nnaji child but three children and C cooked, cleaned and laundered clothes and that C did not agree to work in exchange for only room and board but rather was promised a $100.00 per month salary."

Any African-Anerican care to trade places with a 'modern-day' Nigerian slave woman in the USA? See? She was sexually 'gratified' by her "massas" too, free of charge and better 'endowed' than the white "massas".
