New facebook group

[TJ 4EVER 40]

To anyone interested. I developed a facebook group called "Americans loving their Nigerian spouses" the group description is as follows:

Unfortunately we hear too often about marriages between Americans and Nigerians where the American who got married to a Nigerian later finds out that he or she has been scammed by the Nigerian spouse for the purpose of immigrating to the United States. This fact has caused many Americans to become suspicious of all Nigerians and has painted a negative picture of our Nigerian brothers and sisters. I am developing this group to support those who are in legitimate marriages, a place where we can support one another, share our love stories, and validate that it is wrong to judge a whole race of people based on what a few bad apples have done. Our stories are worth being told and we deserve the same amount of respect that other intercultural marriages receive. I love my husband with all of my heart and I know, without a doubt, that my husband (An Igbo Man) loves me with all of his heart. Let’s stand together and support one another through this process of loving our Nigerian spouse in spite of the negative reactions that the world throws at us.

We are not interested in any hate stories but are looking for support for those who are in loving marriages. Please join us!

Nigerians are some of the most hospitable folks around. I attended a wedding this weekend where the groom is Nigerian & the bride is Spanisg. It was a blast and they changed into Nigerian clothing half way through the wedding. The clothing looked very nice and was colorful.

What about American's Loving their African Spouses?I have seen comments from some saying that more scammer's come from Africa seeking citizenship or that they scammed some American's out of their money.I come from Africa and I believe that you cannot judge everyone else based on some people's lack of morals or ethics based on hearing horror stories about their country ect.

The group is developed for African/American spouses who have positive experiences. My point is that not All Nigerians are scammers and those who are not are getting a bad rap because of those who are. I would like to celebrate and support those who have found true love. There appears to be a lack of support for Nigerian and American spouses so let's start somewhere.

Agreed...thank you for your support!

Thank you for keeping the scale balanced for it is very true that there are as many happy ending stories whether one is married to a Nigerian or otherwise. In our personal lives we all know some who are happy with their African men/women and some who are not. It is important to keep in mind that just because some marriages fail, it doesn't automatically mean the USC was scammed. There are many intricate details which is not usually shared. Not saying that there are no scams or scammers out there. But one has to be fair and not judgmental when all is said and done.

I will look into your new established FB group and consider joining. You might consider making it about Africans instead, just a suggestion as brought up by another member. Thanks and stay blessed.

Good to hear the positive stories, there is enough negativity... Staying positive and keeping the faith is the path that I choose.
