Hey. There was no investment from so many burials. Of course he inherited his fathers prperties (for which we need to raise 1000s to pay for renovations ) but thats all. We were building a house in Nigeria but apparently a relative sold the land it was on? I have 5 daughters, 2 sons. Financially, they need no support, only thing they need from us is babysitting services� I haven't wasted any years, my life has been good mostly . Only thing I regret is that I didn't dig earlier but I trusted him and have enjoyed my years with him. |

Morwendy: Its possible to have two surname....tho not advisable....I and my siblings had different Surnames till recently...my older siblings bears my Grandfathers name as surname while me and my younger siblings bears my fathers name(Compound-name). Only changed it when i was about entering college, did an affidavit and revert to my grandfathers name...some of my documents still bears my fathers name and i think i can still bear it as my name if i feel like |

Morwendy: Good. Now I think you have nothing to fear about the change in surname. ...and I will advice you not to dig further because what you may be finding out may make you more devastated. Sit him down to find out if he has a personal problem worrying him. Offer to help him out. Only the demands from "brother" at home can kill a man abroad. In everything, apply diplomacy and wisdom. I wish you good. 1 Like |

Love and trust your husband , scammers don't stay that long , 8 years !!! At 47 plus If he does not have a wife at home , he deserve some accolades. He will tell you about the business when it starts booming, now you may discourage him and he doesn't want that, don't blow little matters outta proportion, as for the £2500 , why are you paying, does he not work or ? I really hate the fact that you mentioned it , That is not a big money in Nigeria ,at all . It can't pay rent for 3 months in some part of Lagos , I mean in alot of places in Abuja and PH, We spend that in a night |

Morwendy: yes, I have a different surname from my family and I did it by choice, I also explained my reason to my wife before I married her. |

Morwendy: I'm glad to hear you say the bolded. That at least is a sign that you are approaching this with an open mind. Incidentally, I happen to be from the same general area with your husband, and in roughly the same age group, and have lived in the UK, so while I didn't grow up back home (eastern Nigeria), I fully understand both how my people think and how life is lived in the western world, and can make some general statements which I concede may be totally wrong. Given your husband's convoluted immigration history (Nigeria to The Gambia then somehow to the UK), I surmise that his financial circumstances back home weren't the best. The Gambia itself is a poor country. He probably would have the proverbial "stories to tell' about his odyssey if he cared to (or has already shared with you). People like that are more likely to play their cards close to their chest which may or may not be any indicator of anything being off. From what you say (the numerous funerals he has mentioned to you), I gather that your husband has got something going on at home beyond what he's telling you. Again, that in and of itself is not necessarily an indicator of anything off, because traditionally down here men do things that way. But I agree that he should have made the necessary cultural adjustment to open himself up totally since he has decided to marry someone from a different background - on that I think he's not done right. Having different phones and hiding them is a red flag. Ask him directly what he's hiding. In any case, you need a loooonggg sitdown with your man, and there is nothing you can usefully achieve in that regard on this forum. Again, best of luck to you both. 1 Like |

Face your husband madam and be good, you ain't doing him a favour marrying him or paying 2.5k pounds , that's not alot of money here , we use it for car repair Be good? Some of you have said some if the backward thinking things which I chose to ignore but when I read that, I realised that I must surely be getting advice from someone who is so stuck in his grampa's mindset that thinks men and women are unequal? You people spend 1.25 million Naira on a night out or to fix a car ..delusions do not make your statements factual. I will unjoin the forum now because I didn't come here to be accused and abused by people who would appear to be quite bigoted. Many thanks to those who attempted to answer my question about names. 2 Likes |

There's nothing weird about it although the man should have told u the discrepancies earlier.Myself my surname is different from the rest of the family cause I decided to go by my immediate fathers name whom I know very well while the rest of the family is still answering my great grand fathers name which I refused to answer |

eyinjuege: This is not a matter of what is right or wrong. The OP does not want our advice. She doesn’t want to file for the husband’s permanent residence which is due next month. She is here looking for a justification not to make the application. This is a marriage and we need to be very careful with what we say. Already I have seen stupid and childish comments here especially from people who has never been marriage and are not thinking about it in the next 5 years. I am married and I don’t tell my wife everything. It’s not about doing things secretly. Sometimes because you know your wife and her reaction, you probably want to keep it quiet till you have achieved what you want to do or you don’t want to bother your wife because it maybe irrelevant. Some wives may see such investment as a waste of family resources. Some may even have a different opinion. Others may support you. The kids here will never know this until they are married. Their idea of a marriage is based on movies and romantic novels. 4 Likes |

steve13: You must have lived abroad. Please let them know how a white woman operate. I have said it and would say it again. She is a ridiculous woman looking for an excuse. For 8 years she has been hiding her intention from her husband. Enjoying his company, allowing him build things with her and when the time to file for his PR is due, she turns into a private investigator. Continue! |

EmpresFIDEL: You are very stupid. I will say it again. You are very stupid. I am not insulting you, but based my assumption on reading your comment. It is stupid people like you that make such comment. Why do I say you are stupid. Don’t worry I will let you know. You do not have experience in a particular field, yet you offer advice and still stand on such advice. That is what a stupid person do. You have never lived with a man legally nor experience what it takes to be with a person who is different from your gender, and I don’t mean the illegal co-habiting you maybe doing with your boyfriend, if you even have one. You did not hear from the woman’s husband, yet you claim he is a fraudster. Are you not stupid! And I can assume you have never traveled abroad and your knowledge about white women is based on what you see on movies and TV, that is why you open your rotten young mouth to spew rubbish. To answer your ridiculous statement - my wife is my partner. Infact, she is the CEO of my house and I’m the Chairman, I only review her action if things go wrong. I operate that way because I trust her judgement. This is the way my home operates. Other homes may operate differently and that is because people are different. You will not know this yet because you are not married and not even thinking about it at the moment. However, you will surely do when you are matured to engage in marital affairs and when that time comes, I hope you will be happy when a complete stranger who does not know you or even your husband is offering advice to destroy your home.

Long story. He was in the Uk when I met him 10 years ago. He was arrested by border agency for being an overstayer BUT after 2 years of legal battles, border agency admitted they got it wrong, that he had been granted a visa to stay for 3 years but they lost his passport and he'd never chased them for it. To get a new Nigerian passport, he had to get his sister to send his national id card from Nigeria and that gave the name we're married under. (Mystified how she got him a new ID card but says she paid officials and they gave it to her). So apart from the new ID card and the new passport, no other documents. He can choose to bear the grandfather's name. It is a common practice especially in Igbo land. There are different naming patterns. I have cousin's that about three of them bear their father's first name as surname, while the other two bear thier grandfather's first-name. In some communities, it is adopted for easy identification. |

Sometimes things get complicated yet simple. For instance a friend and his siblings bear different surnames. The father changed name after bearing my friend, but my friend had got his SSCE so he decided not to change his name. The younger siblings bear the new surname. |

HRtechnique: My tongue cannot be bridled here. This is not a unique situation. They may both work hard does not mean one cannot be used. Infact Africans are hard workers. What is wrong with her investigating now that things have come up? When is the right time to investigate in a marriage please? If things appear it should be investigated at whatever point sir, its her marriage and therefore let her ask. Why was the business being hidden? I don't get this part. You say pet project. Please don't hide pet projects from your wife. No one can answer all her questions, but fishy is fishy and this is fishy. There has to be a specifically unique situation that a man in Nigeria will not bear the fathers name. His own reason needs further investigation. Like I mentioned, she is in this marriage alone, therefore she should go ahead and ask all his friends, family members, CIA, FBI, British Intelligence and the likes all the questions she needs answered.

Even before I saw the Ops last post scam was smelling on around the husband,that dude probably has a wife here and is planning his exit. What I find distasteful is how the nairaland guys are defending the husband,only about 3 people told her the truth. I never knew 2,500 pounds is like 250 naira which one can just gather anyhow.
