EgunMogaji: The best place to ascertain her marital status is at her county or state's Registry of Deeds. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by sonnie10: 8:39pm On Jan 25, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: So which of the conditions qualify him? |

sonnie10: I agree and that's in Nigeria where she got married (we have local governments here not counties), not the US. There's nothing wrong with asking on here if her document is valid. |

Very sad and shameful of him. Why deceive and waste someone's time/life. His family are in on it and KARMA will surely catch up to him. The document is fake, nor stamp. Move on, you shall rise 1 Like |

EgunMogaji:. She already has a marriage that was accepted by the authorities according to her story. If something else came up while they were in US, the records will be there. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 12:27am On Jan 26, 2016 |
sonnie10: Which records where? Do you leave in the US? |

LAjibade: I have never seen this and I'm Married to a Nigerian after you give notice which is Form A has to be displayed for 21 days, our licence was valid I think for 3 months in which time we needed to get married, I have a Nigerian Marriage certificate issued in Ikoyi, so if you dont have a certificate, or it wasnt in the green Nigerian scroll then Im sorry to say but you got duped into this, if your husband had been rushing this would have sent alarm bells for me, and surely the relationship and how you communicated would have given you some indication of his intentions. This puts a bad name on the good men of Nigeria so shame on him, he will get his comings as they say what goes around comes around, I would contact the ministry of interior, and see what they say, your better to call rather then email, as they dont tend to respond to emails. Can I ask, did you have marriage counselling prior to the so called Marriage ceremony if you had one? Did you not read this http://www.nigeria-law.org/Marriage%20Act.htm the process is as follows(well in a nutshell) -Notice form A -2 Photographs -Form is posted on the 'Notice Board' at the registry office for 21 days, which is also entered into the Marriage Notice Book. -After the 21 days Payment of the Prescribed fee, the registrar would Issue a form C -after meeting the requirements the couple swear an affidavit. -upon proof that there is no unlawful impediment to proposed marriage, the minister will dispense the giving of notice, issue the certificate and grant a licence in which you need to be married within 3 MONTHS also this is known as form D. -on the day of your marriage a ceremony usually lasts about 30 mins prior to which the Form E is printed i.e the marriage certificate which is filled out with both spouses details, then you sign them at the end of your ceremony. -this is then be registered into the marriage book Form F...YOUR MARRIED so if none of this is done then your not married |

Lexusgs430: What a palava, poor woman, no one knows the full extent of this whether the woman was paid to get him to the US etc no one would ever know. I know before I married my Nigerian Man, I researched the laws and the marriage process, getting married in a different country to that of your own I would have thought all potential spouses would look into that but guess not ![]() I hope those who are duped don't tarnish all Nigerians with the same brush. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by sonnie10: 2:20am On Jan 26, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: The records at the Registry of Deeds where all births, death, marriages and divorce are recorded. She should go there and confirm if some water passed under the bridge when she was not paying attention. Those are public records and does take more than 5mins to get. Regarding your second question, I would rather you take a guess. ![]() |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 2:23am On Jan 26, 2016 |
sonnie10: Again, do you leave in the USA? She got married in Nigeria, there is no record of her marriage in the USA. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by sonnie10: 2:26am On Jan 26, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: Going back to Nigeria does not make sense. That part is long settled by the authorities. They have accepted what she has as a marriage document. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 2:30am On Jan 26, 2016 |
sonnie10: Do you leave in USA? Going to the source of her marriage license makes absolute sense. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by sonnie10: 2:39am On Jan 26, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: The state decides what document they admit and not the individual. That is why you can hold a piece of paper and refer to it as a legal tender because the state says so. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 3:22am On Jan 26, 2016 |
sonnie10: Do you leave in the USA? The document she has was given at a local government office. |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 3:53am On Jan 26, 2016 |
EgunMogaji I can communicate with him through Facebook. But he avoids contact Area with me and doesn't answer none of my questions. I come to him in peace. I'm not interested in fighting nor make him pay for scamming me. I'm over it!! That is between him and God. All I want is to know the legal status of our "marriage". Why I can not find my marriage records in the court. I received a stamped marriage certificate from the place of marriage at Alimosho Local Government Agbado/ Oke-Odo Local Council. Dev. Area in Nigeria. But now, I can't know know nor find my legal marital status. YES, I LIVE IN THE USA |

LAjibade: you are not married this is why there would not be any record of such, i listed the process above and a licence is only valid for 3 months and is not proof of marriage, that is only by way of a marriage certificate here is mine... (I covered our personal details) 3 Likes

Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 4:34am On Jan 26, 2016 |
Portsmouth86 Wow, thanks. That was very kind of you. He re is mine on picture cos my "husband" took the actual certificate when he left two an a half years ago.

Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by femzy(m): 4:59am On Jan 26, 2016 |
Awwww what your experience sucks. I hope the certificate sample posted was very helpful. I would simply just advise you ignore any posts you found and find insulting here. My few cents. 1 Like |

LAjibade: That certificate does not look real, what is that at the bottom of it? It could well have been staged without you even realising. plus you only fill in two one for you and one for the marriage book could i suggest you make contact to the US Embassy in Nigeria, they may well be able to find information out on your behalf http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/acs_abuja_legal_information.html 1 Like |

LAjibade: see below I have put a ring around what I'm talking about, this is not on mine, your certificates you where filling out looked like they where on a reel of paper?

Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 5:30am On Jan 26, 2016 |
Portsmouth86 Let me check again my photos....I'll be back |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 5:47am On Jan 26, 2016 |
Portsmouth86 Well this is a poor copy of the certificate. The copy is black and white while the original is green and white, Nigerian colors. Which he took with him

LAjibade: I have no doubt that you're an American living in the USA and that you're legally married. He would never have been given a spousal visa out of USEL otherwise. 1 Like |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Portsmouth86(f): 6:36am On Jan 26, 2016 |
LAjibade: Ours is just like the UK marriage certificate no colours at all apart from the ball point pen we used to fill it out I have no idea if the certificates have changed over time im sure other Nigerian's here in the group can clarify if their certificates are the same like mine or if they were once like yours, I honestly have never seen it like this even my husbands uncle said to me this is fake. 1 Like |
Re: Nigerian Marriage, Fake Or Real? by Nobody: 6:43am On Jan 26, 2016 |
Portsmouth86 It's so frustrating too, because on the certificate, on the bottom right side, it gives a website one can go to see the records, and I just visited that website and it seems to be down...nonexistence. I will definitely get in contact with immigration lawyers to do an investigation and clarify this once and for all. |
