I Married Oyibo Man Thinking He Would Make Me Rich, But I’m Still Poor – Nigeria Woman Laments
A Nigerian lady said before she got married, she was thinking her marriage would make her a rich woman.
She said she was reasoning that marrying a white man could make her financially secure, but the notion was a lie.
The lady said what people think about life in Europe is mostly not true, as many misrepresent facts of life there.
A Nigerian lady who lives in Europe said life over there is not exactly as people portray it on social media.
The lady who is married to an Oyinbo man said she has lived abroad for 13 years and that she has been with her husband for almost 14 years. The lady has been married to an Italian man for close to 14 years.
The lady said there is a belief among many Nigerian women that they will become rich if they get married to an Oyinbo man. She shared her story in a video interview posted on YouTube by Italian Davideo, a storyteller based abroad.
According to the lady, she and her husband got married in Nigeria about 14 years ago before they moved to Italy. She said she also had the mentality that getting married to an Oyinbo man would make her financially fine. The lady has been married to her husband for close to 14 years.
The lady noted that her husband is a nice and sweet person, but she did not look at all those things when they were about getting married. She said what she was looking at was the money she could make if she got married to an Oyinbo man.
According to her, she believed it when she was told there is money to be made when she marries an Oyinbo man, but she discovered it to be untrue. She said contrary to what people think, marriage is a journey and serious work, not all about enjoyment and money.
