Thank you so very much , thank you
Keep doing the right thing always , it pays at the long run,

When I rejected settling down with a British lady 2012 I wasn't having alot of money , she was working and earning big yet we spent the little I had ,
I never wanted anything that will choke me,

I made the best decision and came back to Lagos,

Today my company employs over 30 graduates, We ship products world wide, built great brand / reputation and handle dealings with foreign suppliers with all honesty, in FACT they always pay my hotel bills every time I come around since 2013


They have very terrible people worldwide , they all does not reside in or originate from Nigeria , can you compare a Nigerian to Indian or Chinese?

Hahahaha. You are really funny and I'm not angry with your words. Personally, you don't know me and it's not important. Ask folks who knew me and they will tell you more about me. Sometimes, they doubt if I am a Nigerian or not. Has someone given you over $5,000 for personal expenses abroad for business and you return it after three days telling the person you have no time to travel without taking anything from the money, not even a cent?

And this person calls your brother and asks him if you're really from Nigeria or not.

Look, I am comfortable and I don't believe in stealing or take what does not belong to me. I was brought up this way by my parents as a little young boy.

jobonnairaland:
Hahahaha. You crack me up here. If I were a scammer, maybe I could have been a billionaire by now, because people trusted me with their credit cards and other value items as well as classified information.

Originally, my question was about nothing other than the name but many of you here gave me food for thought so let me look now.

Who's paying his visa fees? I will be because in the last few years we have paid to:

Bury his grandma
Bury his uncle
Bury his sister
Put his niece through college
Bury his father (3 months ago)
Bury his stepmothers mother (1 month ago)
and he sends most of his salary back home after our bills are paid.

Does he travel to Nigeria often?

No, in 8 years he's gone twice. Never to a funeral.

His website is active. I can fill a cart with high cost items and pay for them BUT he says the business isn't up and running?

He came to the UK from The Gambia where he had been living til he came here with his first wife.

Children - he has 2 girls with someone else, not a wife, not a Nigerian or British woman. This lady and her children disappeared before I met him. The police were looking for her when he was having immigration problems but that seems to have stopped. One of his female friends once asked him how that lady was enjoying living in Nigeria - he denied that she was there and insisted that she just took the two very young children and returned to her own country.

His phone - both are always in his pocket. Both are always on silent. He takes many calls in the bathroom. I discovered a third phone and asked him about it. He didn't deny having it and even tried to make me think I'd forgotten he had it by saying my younger daughters always call him on that number - they don't, I checked. Asked him to show me his phones a few days ago and he refused (assured me there was nothing fishy going on)

Now, we have always talked about any such issues. We don't fight over them. And he usually has a plausible explanation no matter what the issue and mostly it's a' cultural or traditional' explanation which I can't dispute because as many here have proved to me, if you ask his fellow countrymen anything, they mostly take up the defensive for him and accuse the wife of being bad.

Why did I wait 8 years to start questioning him?

Only recently has he seemed to be not who I thought he was.

jobonnairaland:
Forget about it. I'm used to these phrases. These are scamming words.

Nigerians with their attitude of scamming foreigners, this is why the country is nothing to write home about.

jobonnairaland:
Some folks here lied to you as well. The Nigerian society believes in telling lies mostly to foreigners in order to get what they want.

The man in context is playing games with you. May likely dump you thereafter. Be ready for that!

Morwendy:
Hi. New here but have read threads for years til now and I just have a simple question to ask . Ok, I know how dim I sound but I married my Nigerian husband 8 years ago. Next week, we apply for his permanent leave to remain here. We've been happy enough since we got married, the usual ups and downs but nothing too serious. Anyway, I found that he has a website advertising a business in Nigeria. Asked him about it and he says yes its his but its not up and running yet (like thats why I was mad at him rather than because he set ghis up without even telling me). I was looking at some photos on his site and I came across a poster laying out the days events for his fathers funeral. At the foot of the poster it says 'by [his name but different surname] on behalf of the family. Now, this new surname is the same as his fathers so I believe it to be his true name. Asked him about it and he says that his surname is different to the rest of his family because he chose to take his paternal grandfathers name. I assume his father should also bear the grandfathers name? He just keeps telling me that I don't understand Nigerian customs/traditions but now the word 'scammed' keeps popping into my head. A simple yes or no would be enough - is it usual for a man to NOT take his fathers name? Thanks in advance.

Col. Banjo is and remains a hero and a very great man against all odds.

If he and Ifeajuna hadn't turned back when they got to Lagos, believe me, Biafra would have won the war and it would have been good for all the tribes that make up Nigeria today; everybody would have been happier and safer.

But something in me always tell me that it was Ifeajuna that must have convinced Banjo for them to retreat from Lagos they had nearly conquered, that Ifeajuna is the architect of Igbo's problem.

Ifeajuna leaked the 1966 coup details led by Major Nzeogwu to his uncle Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe which made Azikiwe to sneak out of the country to escape the coup assassination which would have convinced northern soldiers that the 1966 coup wasn't a Igbo coup agenda but a coup planned to purge Nigeria of corrupt, nepotic politicians like Belewa, Azikiwe, Saudana of Sokoto, Akintola and co.

Ifeajuna was really a sell out to Igbo.

RIP Col. Banjo, Ojukwu ought to have spared your life, he goofed in killing you, it was so unfair to you, Igbos need to map out a day to be celebrating Col. Banjo no matter the accusation

calberian:
Why did they retreat?

cdoffx:
I wouldn't know if there was an attempt to cloud facts because the part of returning to Biafra by Banjo's troop wasn't well documented. On taking over Benin the next is to take Ore( in present Ondo) but were met with fierce resistance because as it would be expected in any war when the Capital city is the ultimate target. Secondly it is said that the Yoruba nation leaders then felt there should have been some consultations before trying to shift a battlefield into the Yorubaland.

Webmasters, I noticed that only foreign websites do use 'https' and local websites (even nairaland) only use 'http'. . Why is that please? Thanks in advance!
