But once you start speaking that Yoruba language omo forget o , they go wan use that to ride you .......i don't tell them which tribe I belong to

I had a very nasty experience with a Nigerian in New Jersey recently. I recently just moved to the United States last Fall for my graduate school in New Jersey. Upon getting to the United States, I stayed with a friend that I have known from university in Nigeria so as to find my bearing as well as deal with transition. After styaing with the friend for a couple of months, I felt it was time to get a place to stay so as to be more independent and face my challenges.

Nigerians are mad people. Whites are better.

You don't even comprehend my post and you want to talk about "distant reasoning mentality"

I'm not responsible for your lack of comprehension.

What is there to comprehend when it is straight forward. Sometimes it is better to keep quiet in a matter than comments rubbish. Please edit that your first post, because it makes you look unintelligent and daft. What does respect got to do with a thief in disguise?

The black people are the worst especially Africans

Do you know how many whites and other races rip each other off. They dupe each other too. This self-hate I see here on Nairaland is disgusting. That’s why South Africans call you guys coons. After all she did refund him the money despite the initial wahala.

Op, what did you now do to her? Don't tell me that you didn't did anything to her o. What happened to happened to police station?

Not all places in Newark are like that, North Newark is a good neighborhood.

Plus, many Universities e.g. Rutgers, NJIT are in Newark, so many foreign students can avoid it altogether, especially for the fact that, it is relatively cheaper and public transportation is ubiquitous compared to neighboring cities if you don't drive.

You also have Seton Hall a good medical school nearby, also Kean University, and a lot more.....many people who work and schools in Manhattan find solace in Newark as well.

Qc1:


I'm sure you still how I was planning to relocate back to naija after 27 years in America. My so- called cousin scammed me to ship 3 of my cars to naija. I just stopped talking to him. I'm not surprised tho....I knew dealing with naija can never end with a smile.

BTW....are you still in naija?

Some of them are pretty bad.

Yeah I’m still in Nigeria, since 2019.

You were obviously dealing with Rita n her daughter whom u didn't know were demented

i am surprised at most of you people. You act like what Sharon said was wrong. You people act like you are not familiar with Nigerians. Everything with Nigerians is a dance. A dance of agbari aka the wayo dance. You play very humble and meek hoping the thief can dig into their conscience to pity the simpleton mugu. In playing humble and nice and meek some scammers have found their conscience and returned the money. But if you just come out all aggressive the scammer will never pity you and will be happy to take your money and curse you on top as we saw with this case. In this case this guy failed the wayo dance. After she has returned your money is when you unleash your anger on her and curse her out. That's how you do it. Coming out beating your chest like a gorilla would make the scammer very happy that he scammed you .

Like, who the hell does that!!! WHO FORCED YOU TO PUT UP THE PLACE FOR RENT IN THE FIRST INSTANCE??

DIDNT YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER INITIALLY

WHY DID SHE HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE VERY DAY I WAS GOING TO MOVE IN

How I was able to get a new place that very day was only GOD! The problem now is how to get my funds back and my other stuffs. After getting a new place, I texted her to send my money asap that I need it to pay for my new place since she no longer want to give out her place.

This evil woman still wanted to frustrate me, and didn't even want to refund my deposit

She is scamming people of their money once u deposit she returns 90% and wants you to forget the 10% don't be surprised you would still she that place is still out up for let

Or they start speaking in the native language

Khafsun:

What are you saying? You sef are part of the problem. Defense? Really?
Someone os trying to scam another person and you're saying you shouldn't be "rude". I no even know the rudeness wey you dey talk. So in court she will tender her justification that she held on to someone else's money because she didn't like how he spoke to her Really

She's meant to send him 1200 minimum, for the tome wasted, money to move stuff again and generally frustrating his effort. That's why Nigeria is the way it is today, someone will be doing something very bad, stealing, killing and you speak against it and you will be claiming you're older than the person. Silly people around to will to say "she fit born am now". Someone is stealing and actively trying to destroy the lives of others and what the silly persons are concerned about is that "you spoke in a rude way"

Chai

GOD will bless you

quickly:


if you didnt sign contract there is not u can do

also if the contract says the deal is at will of both parties you are out of luck.


Normally b4 they give u house for rent you do a 1 payment agreement and u might have deposit.

So it seems she was helping u in this case.

I think the OP knows about your position and hence quiet.

This is where the problem begins, I thought everyone, at least every nigerian in the , everyone in the United States are straighforward, honest. To my greatest surprise, Some nigerians are genetically wired to be evil-minded, irrational and dishonest. For my House-hunt, I used Facebook market place because that it were i can get cheap and affordable room to rent, and i can also see the person that i am dealing with as well.
After a long search, I was able to get a place for 700$ per month which was quite on the high side but that was the cheapest in that zone. The person renting out the place was a female Nigerian in her late fourties. Upon checking out the room, I felt the palce was worth the price so I agreeed to take the place. The rental, Mrs Rita seemed calm when we met and she explained that she only wnats to rent out the room to a Nigerian because she felt she would be more comfortable living with nigerians. I told her that I want to take she place, and she said I need to pay a security deposit (which is usually the same amount as the monthly rent), which would serve as a sort of assurance/seal the deal.

If you haven't met this woman in person ... then there us a huge chance that you gave been scammed by a "Yahoo boy " from here in Nigeria.

1Sharon:


You're the one that needs to shut up. Failure to return deposit is a civil issue, not criminalo. No need mentioning "US police".

u are really a dunce, just imagine the rubbish u are posting...I'm sure you've digressed this to some kind of gender fight or so...cos I don't understand why u will blame the victim for being rude to a scammer...u are a bad person.
