A Nigerian woman has advised people to choose partners from their close circles to reduce the risk of being involved with someone leading a double life.
She narrated how she began dating a man who lives abroad and she was helping him care for his sick, elderly father her in Nigeria.
She said she carried and washed filth and used her money to care for the man.
Meanwhile the man was married abroad and the father she was caring for was his wife's father.
To the wife, the husband claimed his Nigerian girlfriend was a maid he employed to care for her father.
The Nigerian-based girlfri3nd said it took her 7 months to find out she was being played.
She shared on X: "I carried filth, washed filth, cleaned endlessly, and cooked with my own money for a man I was told was his sick father. I was not desperate. I was simply trying to be a good woman to the man I wanted, to the man I truly believed I would marry.
"For seven long months, I gave my time, my strength, my weekends, and my heart. I volunteered myself. Every weekend, I traveled down to care for a “father” he claimed no one else was willing to help. I did it out of love, not obligation. I did it with sincerity.
"Then the truth shattered everything.
"He was married. And the man I had been caring for was not his father! it was his wife’s father. While I was sacrificing, he was lying. While I was giving, he was deceiving. He told his wife I was just a maid, that he paid me, while knowing very well that I spent my own money and poured out my heart freely.
"That level of wickedness is hard to comprehend. It is cruel beyond words. People who can deceive so deeply do not deserve mercy, and they do not deserve genuine love.
"The marriage he hid from me, the life he lied about, is now scattered. And I have many stories like this, because I was foolish also to believe in love without questioning lies. Men will swear they are single, only for you to later discover the truth one way or another. Either they are in a relationship, or they are married, or they are living a double life.
"Such people are not good. They are cruel.
"Not just the UK, but abroad in general. Ninety percent of them are not who they present themselves to be. What they show you is a carefully crafted lie, and what they hide is the truth that will break you.
"Find your love around you! They are fake!"
