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.

I've got an idea. Get him interested in you and then tell him. He will stop sending money to the criminals in Nigeria and start spending what is left on you.

A Nigerian lady comes to the US and gets a job at a prison. She meets and marries an older white man (he's an only child and he has no children). His parents suddenly dies, he dies and all monies and properties belonging to her in-laws and her husband goes to her. What do you guys think happened? grin True story.
If the man is not rich then i will understand if the family doesnt bother in challenging the nigerian lady over the man"s property.There is this story i know this late hollywood actress/model Anna Nicole Smith.She got married as a young girl to one 90 yrs old rich oil tycoon.The man's family never liked her and always regarded her as a gold digger.when the man eventually passed away his children and his family fought Anna Nicole Smith over the late husband"s assets.i think that is partly what pushed her into drugs and depression.Its not just easy for a lady who opts to be a gold digger to just hopes she inherits all her wealthy husband"s assets.Except if they started together as young couples.Not that the man would be almost kicking the bucket and u will marry him hoping he dies so u can collect all his assets cheesy.

I don't care about Multinational corporations. Nigerian leaders are the ones who sell the country to Multinational corporations and allow them free-hand in Nigeria. If the leadership of Nigeria held them accountable, they won't be able to screw Nigeria. [/quote]

Don't be ridiculous! Unlesss you've lived in another person's shoes, you can't tell them how to live their life! Some people have no reason whatsoever to be proud of Nigeria, just like we have many Americans over here that are ashamed of being called American. Furthermore, what has big companies got to do with this discussion? Are you trying to justify reasons for whites being scammed? Perhaps you meant these companies are taking Nigerian resources, if this is the case you've got no one to blame but your useless government and your fellow citizens who vote for them!

Let's respect the rights of others to have their own beliefs without labeling them slaves or stupid.....You're an adult, behave like one![/quote]

I think I will. I even asked him if it was Ebola but he said it wasn't and mentioned West Nile virus. Me I don't know if West Nile virus occured in Nigeria earlier this year so I just kept mute and decided to find out.

The guy is so much in love and part of me feels that this will break his heart and lead him to do something drastic. It's so troubling to me and a part of me just wants to waka far and act like it's not my business but another part is burning with anger at the scammers

In my view, I will suggest you first of all bring this to your TL's notice (you know what I mean), and write an official report about it, before making a detailed professional plan, in connivance with your institution, of how the news is going to be relayed to him.

Since he's a patient, I want to believe he's either you're in occupational therapy or medicine, so you need to professionally manage the situation and not single handedly. Look for a thereaupatic way of braking the news to him in connivance with your institution.

Do this lady come to Nairaland? It's time to do some investigating. undecided
Hi, don't get me wrong. I am not so proud of what I put up there. I have genuine feelings for her and we spend hours on videos chats and all that. She knows my friends and I knows hers as well. The only thing bad I do is that I lie her to to get money because I don't have a job yet. I am learning a skill now and when I'm done, I will start making some money and I will quit asking her for money. The truth is that I really love her now and I am not only interested in the money she gives me.
I'm already planning a surprise stuff for her birthday and I am going to spend a good money to send the package across to the United States.
I'm not a saint, and I believe I'm not a devil either.
I prefer her to any Nigerian girl! They are all leeches you know.
Hopefully we will meet at some point in the future and have a beautiful family and guess what... She's beautiful and I am handsome too, so we making cute babies lol we talk about that all the time.
Please don't mind my fellow Nigerians, most are all hypocrites!
She's not on nairaland.

Khia, true talk. These people could be crazy.

It's really a difficult decision to make which will require tact and wisdom. It's very easy to fold my arms and say, "oh well, a fool and his money will soon be parted." But on the other hand, I feel sorry for the guy when he said that as soon as that check clears, he is sending it. He's not even thinking of paying his bills. cry

Love scam is not an easy thing to handle o. You're right about their vindictive nature.

Alex leave the matter. It won't turn out well. I have been in this situation. Please remember Nigerians grow up in an environment of everyone minding each other's business. In the US, everyone learns to mind their personal business. What the patient told you has nothing to do with his visit. There is no diagnosis in his chart that will fit the conversation you want to have with him. When he gets angry with you and complains that he does not want to see you any more, what do you think will happen? You are going to be questioned about this situation. You are not a doctor. You are an NP. By the time your conversation with upper management is finished, you will realize why boundaries are so important in the medical field. My advice is for you to stick to your job and mind your business. Think wisely.

Point of correction, 'Oyinbo' can NEVER turn anything you know nothing about on your head. It's still the Nigerian in you that is telling you that. I doubt you live there. You're probably fantasizing. But if indeed your story is true...simple case to deal with. Call the police and express your concerns..The police would deal with it professionally - investigate the crime and counsel the patient..

You can't discuss your patient personal business with a social worker or anyone else, you are asking for trouble. You can ask the patient if he would like to talk to a social worker about any help he needs, if he agrees then you can give him the information.

That patient could be extremely upset with you going behind his back discussing what he told you in private with someone else causing him to raise hell at that hospital and putting your employment at risk.

Na this kind advice I dey find. Thanks ma'am. Your advice dey very on point.

Hello OP, he is your patient, probably he is sick due to what the scammer is doing to him, killing him gradually. You have to find a way to break this sad new to him without worsening his health condition. you also have to proffer solution so that he will be able to believe you. Imaging going to borrow, waiting for disability cheque or check. That is enough to upset his BP.
Tell him to provide the Bank account number of this scammer, and request that the scammer should send copies of the expired documents as claimed. Tell him to pretend as if he wants to help the scammer process the documents in US. This will help getting the scammer details which can be sent to security operatives in Nigeria to track down this scammer.

I wish you luck

Let the American guy know, please.
The idiotic girl is even messing up the name of the country and it's hospitals abroad.
Which hospital in Nigeria would threaten to discharge one to the streets after a week of receiving $4000 dollars, when staff in most of the hospitals contribute money from their peanut salaries to pay for some patients' bills?

You have no reason to protect any idiot soiling the name of the country home or abroad.

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
You are a fool

Look at this motherfucking slowpoke. If people could stop giving birth like rabbits resources would be sufficient to take care of anyone and prevent idiots like this from happening.
