Bro please is not your business like you said already, as you're working now dey earn living, na so the Girlee is working the Oyibo and earning her living. Get away to be far from the Oyibo Nigga. From the way you speak I already comprehend you're not one of those Momma-kid to get visa to US, you know as the suffering goes. Not all Yahoo people ravish money, some uses it to train theirselves to become better and big dream, to help the poor family, to build a big dream and probably leave Yahoo someday. Please you can get a way to advise the Oyibo maybe to stop paying the so called GF, but don't go straight in telling him that is a scammer from Nigeria, just twist his brain and let him be.
what’s mommas kid in this matter, hving a good family that gives u a better life , is a treasure, so that sentiments is zero .. there is no pity on fraudsters . The man is working hard to earn a living , do same . Okada man see fraud but chose to live a honorable life . So stop the pity talk .

So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers angry


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.

See your mouth. You lie to her most of the time to get money from her. You're a scammer yourself and no different from the lady (or guy, as the so-called gf could even be a guy) in the OP. It's people like you who are giving Nigerians a bad name due to defrauding people for money. Sickening.


FanOfMyself:
The truth is that if there's truly a Nigerian lady ( i.e not a yahoo guy) then you need to see things from the perspective of this lady. Yes she might have lied (we ain't 100% sure that all she have told him are lies), but she might also be willing and ready to meet up with this your patient and even marry him at the end. Nigeria is really messed up economically and people here are struggling.
Let me just tell you this.
I'm in a similar situation also and the only difference is that I am a guy. I met this African American lady online sometime in February and we got acquainted pretty fast. Fast forward to today, she's really been helpful to me in financially and by extension, people close to me. In fact, I have been able to pay for tech skill and got certified all because of her. Yes I do lie to her sometimes ( infact most times) in order to get some dollars, but I really appreciate and I have feelings for her and I hope to meet her in person one day. So please consider the lady.

I have a question... Are you a lady or a man? Just curious oo

Has he tried a video call with her ? If not then he should. I actually don't understand your points though, is it that you think she's a scammer (maybe a guy posing as a girl ) or you think she's interested about the white man money but truly a Nigerian.

Please, tell him! He really deserves to know the truth before he exhausts all he has all in the name of love.
Dunno why some people are just wicked and selfish.
It's solely left for him to believe you or not but do tell him please.

You came across a guy being scammed and you are here asking whether to help him or not.
I’m more disgusted by your hesitation than I am with the criminals who are fleecing him.

It’s like seeing a helpless person drowning and instead of throwing him a life jacket, you are asking whether to help him or not.

Run back to that man and ask him to invite the police into this.

Apart from the anger I felt at the criminals preying on this man, the first thing I found very uncomfortable with your post was the use of ‘regrettable’ in brackets.

What’s wrong in being a Nigerian? I’m thousands of miles from home but I wear my super eagles shirt with pride and tell people where I’m from.
The problem and only regret resides inside you.

Sometimes good intentions may backfire, especially in matters of the heart. You have to be careful sometimes. Dude is in love and I don't want to just go all out and tell him, lest I become the victim of transfered aggression.
