It seems like Nigerians are always in the news these days, a Nigerian was caught after he killed the mother of his three beautiful kids. I saw the story just this morning on Fox News Channel. I wonder what would make this fella kill his kids mother. If anyone is Maryland here knows more about this crazy, bizarre story pls share with the rest of us.

hi shaka

yeah i saw the news, sad isnt it. Dont know what's going on

Happy new year my love

I saw the news this morning too. Very sad seriously what can a woman do to me to want to kill her.

And you my Luvv

he is obviously very disturbed

sad! sad! news

when did Nigerians turn to kokoye! ?

This is very sad indeed. Very unlike us Nigerians.

May God Bless her soul.

Hmm Igbo man why now, oh this aint nice at all. Chineke help us all,

This tragic story is not an isolated incident but is now becoming a familar scene in the Nigerian community based in the US. Last year in Dallas, a Nigerian man killed his wife, and I think there have been a couple of so in the USA. There is absolutely no reason that one could present for this senseless killing that may unfortunately traumatize the victims (the kids) and further isolate them from their father. I really dont know why, some people may use stress as an excuse, but arent we all in the same boat in the USA making ends meet? Why resort to violence, when there are other avenues to resolve your problems? I know the USA could be an isolated place, but please, there is no compelling reason that should compel one to commit homicide.

Yeah I saw the news story and was shocked by it. Even though I live in Maryland, I only know what they say in the news because my family didn't know them. But It's sad, I know there was a similar story that happened in Virginia last year as well, maybe the year before.

wow . .really sad . .maybe he was suffering from mental stress

naijacutee:

Don't they have Mountain-of-fire there, where these people can pray these demons out of their lives?

I know this not a funny thread but ROFLMAO,

Maybe the couple are probably going through a divorce and the man is probably about to kick out of his house,which he may have worked for,abroad puts extra pressure on marriages.

It's very sad to see so many Nigerian marriages ending up in divorces in the States.

What's wrong with our people pls

Zulu,

I think that a lot marriages are infact Marriages of Convenience,people get into marriages in Europe and the US  because of papers,loneliness,pressure from friends and family ,financial security etc.

nah mrmayor cmon now . pls you didnt just say that you sound like you making excuses. Am i right?

nah mrmayor cmon now . please you didnt just say that you sound like you making excuses. Am i right?

Nope no excuses there,just telling the reality of Nigerian marriages outside Nigeria.A lot of people don't get married because they are crazy in love but what they can get out of it.There is a lot of physical and emotional abuse in Nigerian marriages but very few people would admit it especially if they are religious.

so you dont think many ppl right now in Nigeria are getting married for different reasons other than love? lol pls , many are getting married becos ''oh their friends are getting married'' or ''oh they've been pressured by parents who want an opportunity to show off with a BIG WEDDING'' Or '' oh the man has money'' or '' we aint getting younger'' ------

this case here OR THREAD has nothing to do with the circumstances of the marriage, its to do with one sick individual thinking he can take another's life just becos he felt like PERIOD.

It may be mental disease or a person snaps due to a bad ugly experience. Whatever the reason, you never know what will lead a person to kill a close relative. But, it's still isolated incidents that happen even back home in Naija.
