Nigerian Nurses Beware? by KarmaMod(f): 7:48pm On Aug 17, 2008
of posessive, jealous dudes undecided

http://meniru..com/2008/06/nigerian-men-wife-killers.html

Now, meet denigrate person wife-killer number one, Mr. Kelechi Charles Emeruwa:-
A Nigerian Mr. Kelechi Charles Emeruwa, 41 of Old Umuahia, Abia State was charged and convicted with first degree murder of his estranged wife, 36 year old Registered Nurse, Chidiebere Omenihu Ochulo. Kelechi finally lost it and stabbed his wife, with her own kitchen knife, several times that the fountain left on Julius Ceaser fades in comparison, until she gave up the ghost. "According to the account, Chidiebere had just returned from Nigeria where she bolted away for three weeks to give her late father a lavish burial despite protestations of Mr. Kelechi of the bills that are accruing and payable here in America. She wouldn’t hear any of it, after-all she makes the money; only to return to an angry frustrated maniacal husband who took her kitchen knife and carved her up. It was on New Year’s Day, in her townhouse in the 4200 block of Dunwood Terrace, in the Washington DC suburb of Burtonsville in Montgomery County, Maryland.
For a little biography, Chidiebere was born on June 1, 1970 and attended schools in Umuahia and Yola before proceeding to University of Nigeria Nsukka where she bagged a degree in Microbiology. She then got married to Kelechi in 1996 and left for the US the same year, having won the American Visa lottery. In an effort to really settle down in the US and get a respectable job, she took a second degree in Nursing and began a career at Washington Hospital Centre. As a result of her hard work, she got to the peak of the administrative cadre as a Deputy Director, Clinical Services, at the Centre where she remained until her death in the cold hands of the man she once loved - the father of her three children.

In Tennessee, a Nigerian man after taking it for so long, lost his cool and shot his Registered Nurse wife as well as his hitherto mother in-law to death with a shot gun. According to the account his wife was married from Nigeria a pauper and brought to the United States by this man, who trained her in school as a registered nurse. Soon after her qualification, the demon in her was let loose and it became one torment after another, with one police call after another followed by sleep-over in police cells and it went on and on ad infinitum. After a protracted battle with the authorities at the wife’s instigation, this man lost his almost nearly paid-off home to his wife, including the custody of his three kids by her. He sees these kids just periodically according to court’s order and at the discretionary behest of the wife who sometimes comes to the appointed custody visitation ground at a time of her choosing; just to punish and suffer this man. He could not take it any longer and now the rest is history with two women shot dead and the killer in death row awaiting the electric chair.

A heinous act which hitherto would be very abominable that people are shocked to their bone marrows is today seen as a possibility. In Garland, Texas on Saturday, March 25, 2007 Mr.Theophilus Ojukwu, (pictured right in his orange prison jumpsuit) 46, of Enugwu-Agu, Ihe in Awgu LGA, Enugu State used a mattock (hammer) to bludgeon his deeply asleep RN wife, Melvina Ojukwu, 36, of Umuanebe, also of Ihe, Awgu LGA, Enugu State to a very painful agonizing death.
Sources close to the family said that about two years ago, Melvina’s mother and mother in-law of Theophilus, who was visiting from Nigeria tragically died in a mysterious circumstance, in a bathtub in their house at 5400 block of Barcelona Drive, Garland Texas; this is where Melvina also met her untimely and heartbreaking death. Whether this is a chain of events is inconclusive but both situations were very tragic! Mr Theophilus Ojukwu has since been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole; that one would ask, is the craze to control the RN’s “legendary money-faucet” enough for this tragedy and the life imprisonment consequence thereof?

In another family-related violent incident involving a Nigerian, it was reported in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of March 8, 2006 that a Registered Nurse Roseline Unachukwu, 34, and her six children were taken to the family violence shelter, Northwest YWCA in Marietta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, as a result of physical violence. According to people with knowledge of the incident, the poor lady escaped with her life from her husband’s maniacal rage with very severe cuts in her arms which she received while fending off her husband's killer-rage. Her husband, Benjamin Unachukwu from Nnewi, Anambra State, was taken to jail to face two criminal charges with the kitchen-knife weapon of choice as evidence exhibit!

In Los Angeles California it was reported that a Nigerian RN wife was brutally murdered by her husband. The viciousness of the attack was such that the man eventually tied the dead body of his wife to his truck and dragged her dead body through the roads and streets of Southern California until her skull gave up its cranial contents. He was eventually arrested, charged, tried and convicted for first degree murder with special circumstance which carries the death penalty! He is presently awaiting a date with the lethal injection in a cold segregated death-row prison cell!

Only recently, one Nigeria RN woman living in Dallas Texas had this to write on the Internet about her fellow estranged Nigerian husband:-
“I have been married to Mr. X (real name excluded by Icheoku as we do not want to be a purveyor of this domestic madness) for 20years, and had five children for him. I was married to him at the age of 18years, and joined him in Dallas from Nigeria after my high school. For those 20years of marriage which can pass for 20years of bondage and slavery, I have had to endure constant physical abuse, verbal abuse, and emotional abuse and mental torture in the hands of Mr. X. I am asking whosoever that reads my story to please send it out to as many forums as they have access to. Silence they say is golden. But if you are dealing with a mad, sad, disgruntled man like Benjamin X, silence will no longer be golden”.
And what could have driven a Nigerian wife to write such an unflattering “oration” about her husband, one would ask? The answer depends on who you ask. Is this couple close to the finish line?

Similarly, in Grand Prairie, Dallas, Texas, Mrs. Monireti Abeni Akeredolu, (pictured below in her wedding with her killer-husband) a 46-year old Registered Nurse from Ondo State Nigeria met her untimely death in the hands of her estranged husband, Mr. Ebenezer Akeredolu, Sr., 48. According to the story, Mr. Akeredolu drove several hundred miles from Georgia (where he had moved to nurse his pains at loosing everything he had worked so hard for since coming to the United States several decades ago) to Dallas and pumped several bullets into his ex-wife in day light, with so many people watching the macabre spectacle. Mrs. Monireti died slumped in the wheels of her SUV enroute to a birthday party in her honor – she had just turned 46 a day before on September 7, 2005.

Not too long ago, also, on August 10, 2005 in Euless, a suburb of Dallas, another frustrated Nigerian husband, 45-year old Johnny Omorogieva from Edo State, Nigeria murdered his RN wife, Mrs. Isatu Omorogieva, 35, also of Edo State by savagely striking her on the head numerous times with a hammer in the full view of their 7-year old screaming daughter.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma a yet to be fully authenticated report has it that another Nigerian man recently bludgeoned his RN wife to death while she was fast asleep; following a traumatic life which she has subjected him to since turning into the majority bread winner of the family following her graduating from a nursing program.
Another Nigerian nut-case, Mr. John Onwuka (pictured here right in his orange prison jumpsuit) 49, from Akwete community of Ohafia Bende Local Government Area of Abia State was charged with one count each of homicide and use of a knife in the commission of a felony. He stabbed his RN wife of twenty five years, Mrs Gloria Uchechi Anya Onwuka age 42, fourteen times in her bedroom while she was getting ready to go to work. She was a nurse manager. Mr. John Onwuka committed this crime on the night of Saturday August 19, 2006 at the home of his wife in Estate Drive, Farmington, Hampton, Virginia with her children watching him act out his gory insanity.

"Yes I have killed the woman that messed my life up! A woman that had destroyed me. I am at Shalom West, my name is Michael and am all yours". With those words - a 911 call placed to the authorities, another Nigeria man has joined the infamous heinous club of Nigerian Men Wife Killers. Fifty year old Mr. Michael Collins Iheme (pictured here left) of Hennepin Minnesota placed the call above few minutes after shooting his twenty eight year old wife, Mrs. Anthonia Eberechi iheme, the mother of his 4 year old boy and 3 year old girl, to death. However in as much as Icheoku does not condone such misbehaviour of taking the life of another, these Nigeria men who marry "fedexed" wives should better watch it as what they bargained for might not necessarily always come to fruition.

Seriously why do these men marry RNs when they know they cant handle their wives making money/more money than them? RNs make pretty good money here, date a teacher or something. abi?

This is truly a shame. It happens more here in Texas and Oklahoma then any other state. Because this is where the RN's make the greatest amount of money. I even knew a lady that was being verbally and physically abused by her Nigerian husband. Until one day my dad told her to go home, get her kids and come stay with us. He helped her get a divorce and restraining order against the man. I don't know what happened to the husband but, the lady and her kids are forever grateful.

My mom is a RN, makes more money than her husband. . . . . He's even happy sef that she pays most of the bill.
Maybe that's why I don't think she's safe with him.

On topic, a while back, there was another story about a Nigerian man that killed his wife \, I think because he wanted to marry another woman (akata).

Nigerian men, why are some of you peeps doing this na? cry And some psychos are talking about going back to Nigeria to bring a man back here. When they can't even stand the oversea pressure/stress themselves.

Scary world we live in. Too much of this Nigerian man killing his wife, just too much!

This is what happens when Nigerian men bring you over to the States, they then believe they own you. Ok, some cases in this story, the women came to the States on their own but their husbands still had that male superiority thing going on.

Seriously, they shoulda just divorced their wives instead of murdering them. Na wa oo. Hmm, I can't marry someone I'm richer than, not good sometimes.

Well, this is the problem with Nigerians with that kind of stupid mentality. They think of what people will say when they hear you're divorced. Where are those people when your face was being used as a punching bag, leading to murder?? Thank God I don't live my life for anyone but me. I say if your spouse is acting up, divorce him/her. Unless you like suffering and smiling, not my thing!

The specifications when they they send their communique for wife seeking reads:
A beautiful, light skinned nurse,
Especially some of  those Igbo men.
God, they irritate me.
Has anyone wondered why most of the killers here are Igbo men?
are they less likely to handle the stress of underachievement and the frustrations of having a wife support you than other males in Nigeria ?
someone needs to do a study.
another thing I want to know is why a twenty something year old girl in her prime would marry a 50 something year  old divorcee.
I heard that latest killer Mr Iheme had been married before.
I don't understand Nigerian girls and what parents would allow a girl marry her fathers agemate all in the name of coming to America.

why a nurse??
Re: Nigerian Nurses Beware? by Queenisha: 3:10am On Aug 18, 2008
why not?
aren't they the only professions that can work 16 hour shifts non stop and do home visits the rest of the 8 hours plus volunteer to work for their white colleagues on their day off ?
The only profession where you don't have to even pass the exams to have jobs lined up waiting to hire you as soon as you get a pass mark.
That's why the average Nigerian cab driver or asst manager at McDonalds in America runs home looking for a registered nurse that he can send to the nearest nursing home as his beast of burden.

And when the beast of burden doesn't "behave accordingly" they snuff the very life out of her.

see what someone wrote in an article regarding these cases and I find the statement extremely chauvanistic.

"Nigeria women in America, especially the nurses among them, should please have a serious rethink on how they "humiliate" their husbands just because they are making "more money" than them. It is not many a man who would readily suck it up or take it all through the rear just to remain a loyal but angry and humbled husband. Some men have a short fuse and will sometimes do the strange thing than continue to remain a "castrated he-goat" in the house"
Re: Nigerian Nurses Beware? by KarmaMod(f): 4:09am On Aug 18, 2008
These men will always have an excuse for their barbaric behavior.

Are they trying to say every woman that has been murdered by these men was "rude" o their husbands? Abegi

The quote above is very true. Nigerian women who are nurses in the US can be very abusive to their husbands. These men are pushed to the wall, and then react barbarically. I don't advocate any man murdering his wife, however, most men would do ANYTHING to assert/reassert their authority in the home irrespective of who earns more. Murdering a spouse only begins to explore the potential evil in the heart of man.

stress is a bad thing.  most of them are working long hours yet still come home to care for their kids. stress of living abroad can be really hectic (even student sef get stress) not to talk of working like a horse.

how many of the men run the bathtub for their hardworking wife? they come back to still cook their meal or grab a mac/burger on their way home. how many of the guys cook great meals for their hard working wife? how many of them still take time with all their money to go out to a cozy resturant to eat and catch up with things going on in the house? how many still having a good sex (they say it is important in marriage). why the woman no go vex? and like a typical Nigeria man, instead of finding out why your wife is always upset, you rage on too.  aha!!

stress could be a factor that triggerdc the nurses annoyance with their husband. to think you are the breadwinner instead of your hubby, you work long hours, no enough sleep who no go vex for small thing?

the thing is for the men to get a job and also help their wife with household work. . . and try to encourage their wife do at least maybe 10hours of work.
again people should not be too greedy to get this and that. too much of everything is bad.

Truly Questionable.

make your point

I'm sure you're reacting more to my style but I want to quench this nursing earning myth.
The average American nurse works her regular 40 hrs and makes an average comfortable earnings,(not rich) because her hubby also works
not so with Nigerian nurses.
They work their regular 40 hrs plus 40 hrs of overtime.
They'll work on holidays,are perpetually on graveyard shifts because it pays more and the kids are many a time left home alone all because of money.
I know nurses who have left underaged kids home alone overnight for weeks and months all because of the almighty dollar.
The kids don't learn how to swim,skate,don't do any activities because their mom lives at the workplace.
See them in parties,you can pick out the nurses amongst them.
first off they arrive very late, because they just ended a shift and look haggard and wasted from days of sleeplessness.
Most can't put a metal comb through their own hair because they have all colors,textures and brands of wigs.
They look perpetually sleepy.

Most Nigerian ladies here in America are nurses so most of my acquaintances are nurses.
Most have never taken vacations and taken the kids to a holiday spot.
not even six flaggs, talk less of disneyworld, because mom has to pick up her white colleagues shift to make more.
to make more and have more things
That mentality has to stop
Re: Nigerian Nurses Beware? by onyinye2(f): 5:01pm On Aug 18, 2008
Queen, listen. There is no profession in this world that has no sacrifices to be made and no hard work to be put in. I grew up around nurses, doctors, and surgeons. I knew their life like the back of my hand. I know the over time, the tirednees, sacrifices, the mentality, everything. Being a nurse does not make and excuse for not going to Six Flags or taking your kids swimming. It is just poor management. I had a friend who's father was a doctor and mother was a nurse. They went on vacations every summer, traveled, and went to Six Flags. It depends on the individual not the profession. If you really want to spend time with you kids, make time. In the parties i go to, majority of the people are nurses, and others are of other professions. And yet they all come late.
Re: Nigerian Nurses Beware? by Queenisha: 5:02pm On Aug 18, 2008
I have a relative whom I practically begged to sign up for retirement benefits at her job only for me to find out that she had opted to work on a regular "per diem" basis with no benefits because it pays her a lot more.
Only a Nigerian would think this way because they have a couple of mercedes benz,a minivan and a 6 bedroom house to pay for.

for nurses that sacrifice is 40 hrs a week.
anything beyond that is of your own volition including perpetual night shifts

me too and I have a parent that happens to be one.
my husband and I also fall in that category
Nursing is just a regular profession but to Nigerian women it is a license to luxurious living and 80 hour work weeks to pay for it.

I had a friend who's father was a doctor and mother was a nurse. They went on vacations every summer, traveled, and went to Six Flags. It depends on the individual not the profession.

I'm almost certain your friends mother works a normal schedule if not part time.

Personally i just feel the medical field is a dog eat dog world. It is only for those who can handle the life. Those who can not handle, are easy to spot. So all these people are mentioning, went into the profession for obviously the wrong reasons. My own people, my family members worked almost 40 hours a week. I didn't hear any complaint from them. Because they knew what they were getting into. They went in there with the right mentality. Those who just go for the money, are the ones who find it the hardest.

Like majority of Nigerian nurses  theyare the major breadwinners and are always at work.
The stupid mentality of "we have arrived" makes things worse.They have the cars,the big houses,the high society Nigerian clubs to show for it and of course the wives have to work regular and agency jobs to meet up.
