you all know nigerians just love carrying loads of money. most nigerians do it. they would rather carry money in hard raw cash for reasons best known to them. she probably tied it in a cloth and hid it between her thighs and thought it was safe. [s]before the dogs sniffed it out. hehehehe! [/s]

she could have earned that money legitimately. afterall she was a nurse in texas. nurses in the u.s get paid bastardly. so its probably not laundered money. she was trying to avoid paying taxes or something.
i just think that failing to declare it doesnt mean they can take her life savings. if it was a white woman who didnt declare it, they would never confisticate the money. its because she's an imigrant. they are always biased!

truly the labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain.

this garri love of mine has just doubled ten fold.
i want to thank all who peel cassava for a living to put garri in all our bowls. im indeed thankful.

nferyn:
Indeed, but that investment is just as much the man's as the woman's to make. If the woman has better career prospects, it's the man that should adapt.

tell them nferyn! tell them!

why dont they just put her in jail for failing to declare the money. when she gets out of the pen they can return her money to her abi? everyone will be happy!

she wasn't illegal. she's a permanent resident and has been since 1989. its not by force to naturalize and become an american citizen. . they want to now deport her for no reason.

but i dont get why she carried the money in cash. she must have been out o her friggin mind. when i travel with a lot less, im nervous as heck. i keep looking around me thinking people are trailing me.

Originally: US Immigration Seizes $92,843 From Nigerian Woman

This is an article from thisdayonline.com: http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=78320

A 44-year-old Nigerian woman Iyobosa Odiase was disposessed of her hard earned $92,843 for failing to declare it at an airport.

Odiase, a registered nurse in Ft. Worth, was sentenced to three years probation, but ordered to forfeit the amount in cash that she failed to declare after landing at Detroit Metro Airport last August enroute from Nigeria to Texas.
This action of the court triggered reactions from commentators and bloggers who mostly condemned the court's pronouncement.

"Stealing her money for not declaring it when someone can carry any amount. Sounds like the government has a good scam going, as usual." said a blogger goes by the pseudonymn JEK.

Another who did not agree with this replied: "Good Good Good I'm glad to hear it! It's about time those people carrying most likely illegal money from some wrong doing gets her Nigerian titty in a ringer! Plus she's illegal herself. Fool"

Besides losing the money - estate proceeds that she was bringing back to distribute to relatives in the United States the married mother of four never bothered to become a US citizen despite living here as a permanent resident since 1989. As a result, authorities said, she also may face deportation proceedings.

"She's paying a very severe price for a lack of judgment at the airport," her lawyer, Sanford Plotkin of Detroit, said after sentencing Monday before US District Judge George Steeh.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I didnt know US immigration can be this heartless. Have they started stealing? Because she didn't declare it doesn't mean they should take her hard earned cash! Please share your thoughts.

Is it porated or pro-rated?

I didn't want to make any reply to this post but changed my mind
because i was involved in a case where we had to counsel a wife
to resign from her work. The husband claimed that their marriage
will collapse and infact was ready to divorse his wife because their
children are not getting enough attention.

He also claimed that his wife does not give him attention.

3rdly, he claimed that his wife's job is not making her more intelligent
enough because she does routine work.

The man violently insisted that she must resign from the job lest he
would file for divorce and he was dead serious about it.

Personally, i was shocked to my marrow as regards the above reasons
and i think it is more than that. I suspect another woman is turning his
head because you guys need to see his wife, very beautiful young woman.
She cried throughout the meeting and my wife even joined her to cry.

The man was just too hard. My wife and i really sympatised with the lady
but what else could we have done but to give some sort of solution that
will appeal to the two

In order to keep their marriage, the lady had to agree to the husband's terms.
We had to request that he allow 2months for disengagement from the job.

I doff my hat for the lady and pray that God will turn the situation for her good.

The simple truth is that her family/marriage is superior to her job

Friends, there are many reasons that can make a husband to ask his wife to resign from
her job. Some are selfish reasons, another might be for health reasons and
some might be or family reasons.

What will you do if you find yourself in that position? May God help you take the right
decision in Jesus name.

why does it always be the woman who resigns? cant the man resign and watch the kids? will heaven fall if he does?
i dont believe a woman should have to let her dreams go just because her husband cant compromise. shame on him!

@ omoge
i didnt know people peel cassava for a living.
na wa oh. im getting stressed out at my job maybe peeling a mountain of cassava will be easier.

what am i going to use a thin man to do?

nope. no post can get me that riled up.



ever dated someone of the same sex?

heck no.


ever done an HIV test?

the truth is that more married women are cheating. more than ever women have started turning outside the marital circle for happiness for whatever reason. and the truth is that a lot of men have forgiven. when the time comes for you to make that decision and you remember you have kids , you may have to reconsider. you'll amaze even yourself. there have been cases of infidelity in my extended family, and much to my horror the women were the culprits.( one of such alliances resulted in a child .) were they kicked out? no. they were forgiven and everyone of us got over it and moved on.

atm card to do what? to pay for graters? and garri grinding engine ?

some nairalanders can process garri from scratch to finish. from sticking the sticks into the ground, to harvesting, to grinding , to putting it in the jack, to frying it and bagging it. then squatting to put it on their heads and carrying it to the market to be sold. its a gift and should be included in ones resume.

my dad who is a chronic monogamist is of the opinion that one woman is enough to kill a man. (he says it loud enough so my mum can hear just to look for her trouble!) why would any man want two?

does he have two d-cks?

we get that she was older. but its the "see what happened" part that we dont get. what happened?

freedom of expression doesnt mean you have to 'shell'.

omoge abeg make you no vex but you work for garri factory for your former life?

@Cure-Ass

what s d big deal about retrieving certificate that you think it is not possible in Nigeria? You think say Nigeria na suegbe place abi?

ordinary university id card i lost, i had to go to the police station to get a police report, i got a sworn affidavit and all that just to get a replacement from the school. (i had to settle too). that police you are trying to avoid, you will still have to go there.
talk less of certificate. do you know how many years some graduates stay before they get their certificate? talk less of replacement. by the time the replacement is ready you'll be grey at the temples with arthritic joints! .

so because you made her a lady she must drink fanta in your house?

i first craze? abi i don start again? i wont do that!

so blackmailers can now go scot free in this country? doesnt she have a family? a father you can report to? surely they wont think she is right? they should be ashamed of their daughter's desperate measures. tell everyone in her family. let the reasonable ones talk to her. shame on her. besides last time i checked a guy can change his mind about marrying a woman anytime he likes so wtf?

Seun:
I have had to delete a lot of posts suggesting that ckc should beat up his ex-fiancee. Ironically, those posts were all made by women. These bloodthirsty ladies are the ones encouraging men to engage in violence.

thank you!
