I shall be meeting my father-in-law for the first time on Saturday

[redgunamo]

what sort of cünt never drinks?

The sort that wants to tell you he never drinks, imo.

[redgunamo]

Blimey. I'd have assumed that if you married a septic you'd get a secptic passport as a result.

He'll have to do the decent thing and go back to Dubai or change his phone number and never think of her again.

Nigeria's not so bad anyway.

So I gather.

He's not a US citizen.

I wonder how much has changed in the last 10 years, because in the early 2000s, when a friend of mine did a two year tour in Lagos, it was like being in a living nightmare, according to him. And he'd done time in Kiev and Almaty, so he knows a ****hole when he sees one.

[Sir C]

He's not a US citizen.

Right. But he thought he'd get a Nigerian woman in with him anyway?

What is he, as thick as mince?

It's yer typical African hellhole but with added religious lunacy and too much loose raw commodities cash .

He wasn't intending to go back to the US until he got sacked from a job in Dubai. Returning there was pretty much his only choice.

[Burney]

My father-in-law's just announced his 24-year-old sex-trafficked, FGM'd Nigerian wife is pregnant. He's just been sacked from a job in Dubai and moved back to the US to take another job. To no-one's surprise, her efforts to acquire a US visa so she can join him have been declined and she's now stuck in Dubai, alone, pregnant, jobless and on borrowed time before she gets turfed back to Nigeria.

Sounds like a result on his part, tbf.

[Sir C]

Why? If he's not a septic, why is the US his only option? This whole story makes fúck all sense.

Hmm, in Dar or Nairobi or Lusaka an expat doesn't need a team of bodyguards to wander down the street.

I'm going to have to come out and say it. West Africa isn't anywhere near as nice as east Africa.
