Citizens of EU don’t want to get married to Nigerians any longer because of Fraud, naija people would have a secret family back home, upon having their papers/citizenship, these 419 people divorce their honest host and go to their village to bring their wive and kids– they have now transferred papers to their secret family.
They should use their savings wisely, invest in small business like been an UBER driver in lagos, Abuja.
Those pastors they’ve been sending money to can not assist them because the pastors need cash to buy paint of garri gone up from N200 to N1K, rice from N7K to N24K. Unofficial inflation rate is 300%. Cement from N1300 to N2800, building materials has gone up by three fold.
