    NorB, I won't give in to any more drama, yet must call you on what you term, helping Nigeria's image. What you are doing is NOT helping the image, you are simply generalizing and making deragatory comments about ALL the people, mostly men. We must call it as it is, women who get taken MUST and SHOULD own up to their part! There is more than enough media coverage regarding such things going on within the internet world. COME ON!! You seem to want to pin it all on the men and refer to women as being unintelligent. And if you wish to post on threads regarding husbands going missing, then lay it out there, within that topic. Or start your own topic, instead of going off topic on threads. Those who wish to listen to you will, while those of us who dont wont have be subjected to such hateful and ignorant things you speak of. Fine, its a free country, you are gonna do what you want, but I for one, will no longer partake nor reply to any negative thing you say after this posting. In fact, you should know that I am praying for you, because I can read between the lines. Friends or not, you are still a sister in Christ. May you find the happiness you are seeking. I am done, do not address me further, and do not be surprised if I do not respond back if you choose to do so anyway.

    You married a younger "Nigerian" and you are older in the category of "non-child bearing" age, white, a high paying professional, and your husband who has yet to receive his citizenship is excluded from the rest of the population?
    You knew Nigerians and about the Nigerian culture for many years prior to you meeting your now husband? When did you determine that your theory did not apply to you personally, but it was a fact for the remaining couples which are with a Nigerian?
    You say: "the advantage a Nigerian would see in an older woman would be in the bank not the bed, they marry for gain not for pleasure. If they can't gain a young beautiful wive that will DELIVER boys what is to be gained by marrying an older woman?" did you ask your husband what he thought of this statement prior to posting it? or are you basing this on your own trials and errors? Are you willing to let your husband have 3 or 4 wives to bare his boys, since you can't?
    It seems this subject has hit a nerve and home for you NigeriaorBust.
    I have friends who are of different race, culture, age, not so rich or educated, can't have children, different religions and are still with their men/women after the beneficiary has arrived and gained their citizenship and permanent residency. Each relationship is different and the outcome of each situation is different regardless if one is married to a Nigerian, Canadian, Chinese, Arab or Martian. One can't base their opinion and claim it to be facts on their immediate situation at home or lives.
    You have disrespected the Nigerians with saying they would marry a cow if they can gain an entry to USA. You, yourself are married to a Nigerian and what you have said in your post is prejudice.
    I guess we can safely assume you are not one of the happy few who are content with their decision to marry a Nigerian.

    A 21 or 30 day of "together time rule" is not an official regulation /law/ requirement and therefore will just remain a rumor.
    Time spend together can be measured on a "day stick" for some CO's unspoken rationale and under the umbrella of " discretionary freedom " is a very determining guideline.
    Here is to another rumor : A little bird told me that countless young women ( especially the fellow female citizen of our men ) will chase money and drop their men for a more financially successful one like they drop it when it's hot.
    I recently read world statistics of what gender/Nationality cheats the most. No, not Nigerian men, but Nigerian women.
    Nigerian men were much lower on that study and before other Nationalities.
    Some of us may be 'older' but we have a wealth of things to offer that younger women are still struggling with. Life experience, a settled life style, focused decision making, wisdom gathered, lessons learned and an overall strong confidence with a head -held -high- strut in heels. Now that is sexy to any man, young or old ! I am not talking about the 'older and desperate to have a man crowd who let themselves go and stuff their face with pizza on a daily basis. There are differences in the term older.
    One more thing, if things don't work out then they don't work out. Previous relationships with USC have not worked out and if it happens again it will not kill me. I will dust myself off and get back up. I am not made of sugar, will not melt and can deal with what life brings me by God's grace.
    It would not be the end of life and people need to stop making it sound like death itself.
    If someone no longer wants to be with me then I say don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out, have a nice life
    and I move on. I won't turn into a bitter person who feels the compulsion to spends her life issuing warnings like a cop issues tickets to others.
    Don't ever spend money for this immigration journey you don't freely want to give and spend and then cry later when things don't work out. Be accountable for your own actions today. Think before you act. Then be committed to the decisions.
    I get so tired of whining people who think they may have been scammed and are finger pointing constantly without being accountable for their own choices and actions of enabling and allowing nonsense.
    It takes two to tango.
    Suck it up and move on and continue to be strong and confidant.
    # Vent over about the older woman thing !

    Okay here is my take on the whole over/under age immigrant saga. What I have seen and witnessed my own self even before I even meet or knew my husband and that is many of the USC are fake themselves. I have stated this myself in post. Lets look at the facts.
    Many of the USC (we are talking women here trying to get their men here. No matter the age or race) are women with kids and divorced or had prior multiple relations and kids out of wedlock. Already out of the norm for a Nigerian culture. When we were dating, talking, emailing. It was as if it was just you and him. We talked, walked slept (if we really did sleep) phones and internets. Heck we slept with computers on, phones in our hands. We forsaked everything and everybody. Lost friendships, family members, jobs, houses, cars valuables all to make HIM happy. We borrowed, hocked to get that flight, that toy for him. That hotel when we got there. We paid for it all.
    I don't care if you never sent him a dime or you sent him your whole paycheck every payday. This relationship drained us of everything. Be honest what have you sacrificed to be with this man?
    Than it happens he gets the Visa, there you go again buying a plane ticket to be there and you buy him a ticket to fly back another oh what $3000 or $5000 grand. I dare you to go back to the birth of the relationship and count up the cost. You will passout. Now he is home, but WHATTTTTT, it's not what HE thought. Hold up when he was in Nigeria he was the center of your world you made him think all your time belonged to him. I mean how can a mom with kids and job and whatever else she has going be on phone 1/2 the day, running all over the world at a drop of a hat, pay bills, and still maintain!
    He sees that kids and responsibilities is your real life. As it should be. Sure you talked about the kids. Hecked you skyped with them, webcamed with your future kiddo's. Truth be told he may rank about 3rd to 5th behind all your obligations and responsibilities. You weren't honest with him. You made him think he had all your attention and he is not. And us with our American ways and yes attitude want to know why he can't get in that kitchen and do it himself, heck you tired.
    Most of our men went from 0-Single to .............................................Married with children in a year or so.
    You are thinking "Why can't he get up and get a job", your uncle Frank did. Let me enlighten you and I have seen this too much. The economy is down. There degrees over there mean nothing here. They are competing with the Indians and other foreigners. And some of you have failed to realize that this is America, Racist America. Let me make it plain you are married not just to a Nigerian, but a black man. Do you even have a clue what that means here. You seen the looks the stares than you say "But my husbands Nigerian." You might as well had said he's a leper. Why do some act like he is just any man. He is not a Swed, or Brit okay. He won't be walking off plane with much fanfare and people swooning at his cool accent. Look at this post, just the word Nigerian brings up deceit, scam, trickery. It's just very disheartening.
    I say all this to say, that marriages fail. I am sure across the board if you were to look at immigration marriages its more divorced than the average.
    To say my or anyone's relationship WILL fail will break up because OMG why would anyone want your black old butt (thats my butt I am speaking of) is a disservice to me and anyone else. Sure there are scammers, sure their is a profile of what a scammer looks for (although for the life of me if getting an older woman is such a red flag why wouldnt't thy aim lower age.........oh wait they are and have).
    I am a realist. I am not an older woman who just thinks "she has it going on" and "I am just to sexy". I nor my husband have ever been married. This has been a challenge for us both. But we do have the advantage that neither of us grew up in the country of our birth. he was raised in Bonn, Germany and went to British Embassy school. I was raised in Tokoyo Japan and went to all Japanese girl schools. Me and my husband both spent the first 10 years of our lives in a foreign country speaking their language where we are both fluent (well he is in German, my japanese not so good anymore).
    I get your warnings NigeriaorBust and TakiaNaija. I feel ya and as the saying goes "The truth should be told and not feared". I guess its just this broad stroke that is painted across the board. I am sure with every approval you may shake your heads and think "Another one bites the dust". But yet it very well can be a success story.
    This journey is scary enough. We are all entering some uncharterd territory. We all need to as we always hear in presidental election "fulling Vet" our husbands/fiances. Ask every question, challenge them.

    Visit as much as you can when you can. He should always be available to call or answer your call your IM, your Email, BBM, Whats App. Ya feel me. He should be able to drop everything he is doing to cater to you. I am so for real. No one else he is around should matter to him more than you. Another words no chatter. You are talking to your love not the boys in the hood. If it seems you and your needs take second or third check him than check yourself. You should not be going without to please him taking care of his needs (whether that happened in Nigeria or when he got here).
    Some think just because he is here now with you its okay if he sucks your resources dry. Heck naw it ain't.
    Sorry just free flowing some may say what the heck but this is a discussion. And I would rather discuss how we can overcome obstacles instead of always saying the bridge is out and it will never happen. He will never want you, love you, need you. You are a meal ticket to a GC.
    I will say this my time on earth isn't too much longer. I am alot older than many of you. But I can happliy and proudly say if I closed my eyes tonight and never awake again I will have died a very loved and happy 9ja wife. That I know to be true and nobody I mean nobody can ever take that feeling or that thought away from me.

    Yes of course we should know our spouses in and out before we marry them, but hey this is lagos we are talking about and they can take you off balance with questions that you didn't expect.... there are some little things we do not know about our spouse and everyday we found out new stuffs about them.... its better you familarize yourself with such questions that can be asked and get prepared with whatever may come your way.... Just WHAT IF the CO ask you some questions that you don't know about your spouse and your last 4 or 3 answers is 'I DO NOT KNOW' the CO may deny you..... Its totally up to you like you said 'YOU WILL NEVER SIT DOWN WITH YOUR SPOUSE TO GO THRU QUESTIONS'.....
    I know 'everything' about my spouse but we still have to go through this questions and be prepared than rather just sit and wait until the day of the interview if they ask me a question about something my hubby told me like 4years ago and I have totally forgotten about it. This is the only chance we've got, so why not get prepared for it? waiting for 11 months or even 1 year is not HEALTHY for us.
