Anyone else with some insight?

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=661050.msg8267697#msg8267697 date=1304651141]^^that's my point.

i dont think nigerian food should be eaten solely because someone is dating a nigerian man.

if the product is good and appealing to a lot of non-nigerians, then it doesnt have to be tied to the men's apron springs.

it ought to transcend that, imo.

and i dont think egusi is eaten only in nigeria btw.[/quote]Soooo I guess I should apologise that my first exposure to Nigerian food was via a boyfriend?

I can give you some advice but would prefer to discuss it offline that's if you don't mind. 

Else find a time sit down and talk to him about your suspicion. If he really is interested in you, he will tell you the truth. It's up to you how you feel about the whole relationship and whether to continue.

I'm so scared of what the truth will be. If he really is a scammer, I don't think I can continue with him knowing his life is funded by innocent people who have to go without because of his lies and greed But maybe I should contact you, I really do need some perspective on this

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=661050.msg8267676#msg8267676 date=1304650519]about time nigerian food was commercialized for a wider international market, or why is it still considered exclusively nigerian since so many non-nigerians have said they like it after being introduced to it.

i mean, if nollywood had the same success, then why not nigerian food, especially pounded yam.

though it could be high in calories sha.

i enjoy pizza and i didnt have to date anyone before i did so.

likewise chinese food, etc.[/quote]I agree, it's a shame that so few non-nigerians are exposed to nigerian cuisine when it's so delicious. How wonderful would it be if instead of going out for pizza, your typical European family went out for some egusi soup! But yes it is kinda high in calories, it has definitely made my white girl yansh more to my Nigerian boy's taste

Nope, we didn't meet online, we met for the first time in person while I was on vacation with friends in his city. We met and got chatting at a cafe, and he chased me my whole vacation until I agreed to a date. I don't think he's scamming ME, but I do think there's something going on with him, I don't know what to do :S

I'm starting to think love is overrated too, I thought this guy was genuine but apparently not!! He introduced me to Nigerian food and I loved it so least I can do is try learn to cook it so he's not the one stuck in the kitchen all the time But hey, maybe I should not bother, perhaps he has a million other silly European women and gay men cooking for him already, back to my dilemma,

This is my first post, although I've been lurking for a while- hi guys
I'm a European girl dating a Nigerian boy, we've been together about 6 months. We met while I was vacationing in the city he lives in. Since then we've met up many times, I am a broke student so he always pays my flights and pretty much looks after me 100% when we're together. He's always thrown money around a lot, and I've always wondered how he got his hands on his cash considering he doesn't actually have a job on top of school. Recently, I did a little snooping (wrong I know) and I think I found out- he's a member of dozens and dozens of dating sights in every country imaginable, with profiles under a bunch of different pseudonyms. I've heard (and been warned about) Nigerian scammers before, but I seriously thought this guy was just your average international student like me. He's never asked me for money, he knows I don't have any to give him, but now I'm feeling like one in a long line of women (and gay men!!!) he's trying to scam. It's so crazy, I joined Nairaland to try learn about his culture, learn to cook his food etc, I never thought I'd end up one of those pathetic women crying "I love a scammer!!!"

Anyone have any perspective on this? I seriously don't know what to do, I love this guy but looks like he's a huge liar
