Well, you can't say that "most."

We have no data to show that. However, I'm not disputing the fact that some are illegal.
I have data to show. That's why your data should do more that watching whatsapp status

Me I feel some do it as a form of punishment to their wives. If a girl I’m to marry cheats on me and she has good genes. I can forgive her birth all my kids with her and then travel abroad keep sending her money and look for another wife over there.
Leaving wife behind is the best if you have plan to establish a huge business in Africa

It can be due to her job, the foreign policy of that country, her eagerness to follow, how settled the man is in foreign land and her eagerness to hustle.

I do no want to get kicked out from my home that I bought/paying for.

I do not want to get hit everytime, and when I hit back, I get jailed.

I did not want to loose my home and still end up paying child to a woman I got married to in my own country.

Infact I do not want any negative things to start

happening to me the moment I bring her to the western world, where the female have more power and privilege more than the male.

No be every woman them dy carry along.

From the comments above, one wonders the kind of marriages people are into these days.

No love or respect for the mother of your children.

It’s not well abeg.

The expression of those subject guys are the reflections of what today's society is getting from most ladies.

TBH, it's hard today to find loyal and kind-hearted woman as a wife. Many of them have been damaged and they stubbornly refuse to get healed.

You need a lot of work and wisdom to continuously tame a woman out of a distructive flow or a collective distructive order.

Just like the brothers above, I can never take a Nigerian woman abroad as a wife. Except the existing laws of those countries changes in time.

That's if there is even a need to relocate in the first place.

I don't have any friends or know anyone who has the right papers and left his wife back home. You could say my circle of influence is not much nonetheless, I know over 70 married Nigerian men who are here with their spouses.

Why would you want to leave your wife in Nigeria? Is she some piece of furniture or artefact meant for decorating your house?

I am that kind to my baby nannies. If I can pay a nanny to take care of my children and they live their life too. Why can't I pay an upgraded nanny who I sleep with to birth and take care of my kids while I flex abroad?

It's win win for every body
This is not how to live a fulfilling life imho. Perhaps you see the advantages now, but for how long?

This long distance of a thing is rubbish though. Also, I don't anyone that has left Nigeria to go back and marry. It's stupidity.

Hi why do you think so? For a man that has left Nigeria going home to marry

Men who don't send for their wives or leave them in behind are men who travel out without a clear plan. They don't have a relative there, they don't have a clear destination or accommodation, no good jobs, sometimes most of them are unlucky and end up sleeping on the streets. How do you expect them to bring a woman to come and sleep on the street with them.

Gone are those days men travel without a clear plan, these days if you try it , you go suffer. Because these days countries are enacting serious immigration laws to curb influx of immigrants.

Look before you leap.

Why do some Nigerian wives go abroad and take advantage of western culture against their men?

Temitunz:
There’s a growing trend among Nigerian men relocating abroad while leaving their wives behind, sending only money home as if that’s enough to sustain a marriage. Financial is important, but is it really a substitute for presence, partnership, and emotional connection?

Many of these women bear the weight of running the household alone, raising children without a father figure, and dealing with the loneliness of a distant marriage. Some endure years of waiting, hoping their husbands will return or send for them, only to face broken promises and fading love.

Marriage is more than just financial responsibility. If you're leaving your wife behind, are you also leaving behind your role as a husband and father?

Let’s talk what are your thoughts on this trend? Is money enough to sustain a marriage? #MarriageMatters #Relationships #NigerianMen #LongDistanceMarriage

There are many women in whatever location a man is abroad. Women that are more better, beautiful and of whatever attributes you desire. And most especially women that are of either same class or higher class than you that understand the system better compared to the ones you'll go and pick up in Nigeria.

cheesy
In Nigeria, there are 5 grievous mistakes that a man can ever make, here are the list:
1. Marrying a non-virgin aka borehole and not going for a DNA test.
2. Taking your wife abroad. Oga, the chances of you crying is higher than a Nigerian politician to deliver on their promise.
3. Believing in a politician.
4. Thinking that a woman's past is past after her olosho phase. Why do you think your preeq is the sweetest she has ever had? One day, she will always crave for the sweetest grin
5. Training a woman through school or setting up a business for a woman. Oga, between you and a man wey plant corn by the roadside, no difference atall.
What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news

Oga if you no meet your wife as a virgin, oga go for DNA test oooooooo because non-virgins aka boreholes can't be trusted atall atall oooo
They can be grievious indeed! grin

Who wants to carry a greedy mgbeke abroad?

In this generation, only a foolish man takes a woman abroad.
Most Nigerian girls don't deserve to be taken abroad. They will betray you.

So is it better leaving her behind for others?
EmperorIsaac(m): 10:31pm On May 20
elipheleh:


She can service herself with anyone she wants. But she can't birth their child. Lol because I will always do DNA test on all my children.

Done DNA for the 1st and 2nd already. Waiting for the unborn child for his own DNA too.

Plus any time I catch her, or another friend catches her, she's gone.
Unborn child...vawulence grin grin grin
