Yes, please have a good laugh.

A fellow church member approached me in church some weeks back. He said he has this friend abroad who's been bugging him to help him find a wife ( marriage by proxy lol). He said he saw me on that Sunday and something kind of clicked, so he decided to tell me, I shouldn't take offense bla bla bla. Anyhow, I decided to humour him, thinking, why not? I've heard and seen many such cases, though, things that happen to other people tend not to happen to me. So I gave him my number and email add and told him to tell his friend to get in touch, we can take it from there.

After the initial anticipation for a few days, expecting the call or email, which never came, I woke up to a text on my phone this morning from my arrangee-brother, telling me his friend wants among other things, my CV (curriculum vitae), He also gave me the friend's phone number and email address and said I should call the guy. I was gobsmacked, thinking, has it come to this, so I have to send CV to get a husband, biko nu?

I found the whole thing both hilarious and unbelievable. He wants my CV. What a laugh.

Ngwa, nairalanders, over to you. CV for husband, lol.

Arrogant pricks!

That's a bit drastic isn't it? Ask him to send his own cv with his bank statements.lol

Na you cause am o. If you had carried ya nose and eye high for air dem for know say you no dey desperate, but the way wey u take quick quick give dem ya number don cause disrespect. LOL. On a serious note however, tell him to tell his friend to go and jump in a lake. No be him dey find wife? CV? Lol, he wants to know whether you will be a liability especially in this current economic climate that is biting or adversely affecting most people.

The idiot is probably working at McDonalds. Ode looking for resume to marry wife. His mates are busy toasting. Thank your God that he showed his senselessness right from the beginning

I'm sure his an Igbo man and a cab driver looking for a nurse to come to America and make money for him while him and his lazy friends sit all day at the Airport terminal doing nothing.

LOL! which reminds me. . . . Years ago when I was still in school, theres this guy from Zimbabwe whom tried to toast me and I object and he said he would send me his resume and he did! He even include in his thumb print and also his references ranging from his grandparents, mother, father, sisters, brothers and his friends as well. and he posted it via courrier to me. LMAO! I got shock that i laugh hysterically. DaMN. . . Thats funny

Are you for real?

LMAO! BUUAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

come to think of it, what if the guy want to get her a job over there?

As de DESPERATE CHIC you are, i suggest u send him a copy of ur C.V. (amean, copy of ur CUNT & VAGINA). Trust me, he'l love it and hasten de marriage preparations!

hw is she desperate?

sesman:

LMAO. I think I might just do that. I've told my friends and we all can't stop laughing and being mad at the same time. It's hilarious. The cheek of the monkey!

tytylayor:

hw is she desperate?

Help me ask am. Some people just open their mouths without thinking, slowpoke.

What does he want your CV for? What has CV got to do with marriage?

Do people now apply for husbands, you should have something to tell this your arrange brother or you might look desperate.

O'gini?? Why cant he ask for your CV?? Abi you get something to hide??

just it

Okija_juju:

O'gini?? Why cant he ask for your CV?? Abi you get something to hide??

How many married women submitted their CVs to their husbands before they got married. If he wants her CV, he can see it after they've met.

The way he's demanding for it tells another story.

hmmmmmm

@okija juju, so women in ur village send cvs in order to meet guys? I don't think it has come to that.

@ crazykid, I had no intention of replying the silly text but on second thoughts I think I will and I've written a few stinkers. Just don't want to be labelled as being rude in church otherwise, I would have sent them. I want to get counsel from a few trusted 'crazy' friends and on nairaland. Men with such mentalities should not be allowed to walk around unhindered.

Just to add: the guy is urhobo.

@tytyLION, from every indication, she (poster) barely knows de guy in question. If she wasn't, mr. 'arrangee' wouldn't be the one to pass de message to her - it'll come directly from de man.
So don't jus feel u made sense in ur question. IDIOT!

@ Hollysmile

What the poster said doesnt warrant any insult from you haba

@ poster
he probably wants to know if you are wealthy so as to quicken the marriage steps

On a more serious note, you shouldn;t have given him your number, he would think you are DESPERATE.

i dont see anything wrong with give him her number, there is nothing deperate there. if this had worked out right i bet most of you woud who say the move was desperate would have love to be in her shoes. she had no reason not to give her number to the guy and nothing to lose either.

if i were here i will really love to know why he wants my cv, but not by sending one to him, i wont wate my time doing that. i think the arrangee frend can explain better

@ Frank

I dont think you understand yourself or her post

Why? you ask
it is because it is very abnormal for some1 to approach a lady for the first time to tell her there is some1 abroad that wants to marry her, and then the lady gives him her number just like that

That is what i was trying to say

On a more serious note, you shouldn;t have given him your number, he would think you are DESPERATE.

what happened to facebook?

Now if I asked for this Lady's number, she may tell me why? I sense desperation as well. A guy you never spoke to asks to set you up with a stranger and you jumped just because he's in America. Hmm, Do you realize that a lot of Nigerians will be hauling ass back home soon fro the US and Europe as well? Have you not been following the state of the World's economy? Foreigners are always the first victims of a bad economy, and will lose their jobs first.

I am also curious that you never bothered to ask more questions about this guy. It does not matter if he's a criminal in America as long as he's in America huh? what if it's a racket to get pretty girls abroad and turn them into prostitutes? how do you think a lot of Nigerian girls end up in the streets of Europe? All they have to do is lock you up and keep you drugged up on heroin. You'll be gladly walking the street just to get back home for a fix.

That's a bit drastic isn't it? Ask him to send his own cv with his bank statements.lol

Abi o!

This kind of thing self na wa. I hope the friend didn't ask for a taste of your abunna so that he can confirm to him how sweet you are too? Tell us the truth o

Y'all should pls pardon me for callin her 'desperate' (it's jus the plain truth).
JUS HELP ME ANALYZE DIZ:
1. De arrangee guy is in no way a close pal to her! She barely knows him!
2. She have out her number dat very day - without hesitations!
3. She expected de yankee guy's cal, but never got it!
4. For her to have given out de number so quickly, i think she's one of those 'gangster chics' who use de church as their last resort when time is no longer on their side - i mean, fake ass 'churchianas'.
5. She's considerin sendin her CV dat's why she's here wit dis punk ass thread.!
Well shaa, Thank Jah some of u guys are also indirectly callin her 'desperate'.
I NO DEY USE SUGAR COVER LIE!

I suggest that you ignore both your church brother and your CV-loving toaster, they are both unserious@ufuoma

@poster beware, has it ever occur to you, that they may be human traffickers

don't fall victim

Dumb thread! honestly u did not need to create a thread to know what todo yet Hollysmile was right i ve never met a girl b4 or known a girl to give out her number at least on the first day. It sounds odd oh well too bad our nigerian girls r getting cheaper by the day except for the few decent girls around.

But if this is true just ignore him if his so called friend abroad need a woman desperately then he should appear himself to u and not u doing the calling abi?
