He Lied to Me About His Name and Age Many Times, I Feel Used – 68-Year-Old British Woman Cries Out After 31-Year-Old Nigerian Husband Disappears in UK

Published

on

A 68-year-old British woman has spoken out after her 31-year-old Nigerian husband reportedly disappeared after moving to the United Kingdom, leaving her struggling to locate him so she can proceed with their divorce.

Dawn Otewell said she met Bright Emokpae, from Edo State, Nigeria, on a dating app while she was feeling lonely and depressed.

Despite being 36 years older than Bright, Dawn said he professed his love for her and made her believe his feelings were genuine. She eventually gave the relationship a chance.

However, four years after their marriage, Dawn says she is now worried about her children’s inheritance because Bright has disappeared and refuses to sign divorce papers.

The grandmother of seven said she is also battling health problems, including heart disease, sciatica, angina and IBS, and fears what could happen to her estate if she dies before the marriage is legally ended.

Dawn said she has been unable to locate Bright so she can serve him with the necessary divorce documents.

“It’s an absolute nightmare,” Dawn, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, told The Sun UK.

“I’m still his legally married wife, but apparently, l have no right to know where he is.

“He’s done a runner and is refusing to sign the divorce papers because I believe he wants to cling on to his spouse visa.

“I haven’t spoken to Bright since he blocked me on social media about eight months ago.

“Our last conversation was when I told him: I know you’ve moved house and left your job and I don’t care; I just want you to sign the divorce papers.

“He replied: ‘I don’t have them anymore. I’m not going to sign them.

“In the meantime, my health is not good.

“My biggest fear is that l’I die before this is sorted out and he’ll run off with the money my three children should inherit.”

Dawn, who has not written a will, said she is worried Bright could become entitled to some of her possessions, including jewellery, cash and furniture.
Dawn said she joined dating platforms Tinder and Plenty of Fish in 2021, where she met Bright.

According to her, Bright initially introduced himself as a professional in his thirties named Brian Thomas. After they moved their conversations to WhatsApp, he told her that his real name was Bright, that he was a fashion student and that he was in his mid-twenties and from Benin, Nigeria.

Dawn said she forgave him for initially lying about his identity and age because she had fallen in love with him.

She said Bright regularly complimented her during their video calls and made her feel attractive again.

In March 2022, about eight months after they first met online, Dawn travelled to northern Cyprus, where Bright was living on a student visa.

“I know I was a fool, but I was in love,” Dawn said of her decision.

“When I met Bright, he made me feel special and alive.

“He told me I made his heart go ‘boom boom’ and I was the loveliest woman he ever met.

“He made me feel attractive again.”

She added: “I knew he was a bit young. The lies he told me about his name and age should have been two massive red flags.

“But he was romantic and persuasive.”

Dawn and Bright married at a registry office in Nicosia on March 22, 2022. Two of Bright’s Turkish friends reportedly acted as best man and maid of honour.

Their wedding certificate showed that Bright was 27 at the time and described as a student, while Dawn was listed as a 64-year-old single housewife.

Dawn said she initially planned to stay in Cyprus for two weeks but remained for a month after Bright asked her to miss her flight and begged her to marry him.

“I stayed in Cyprus for a month with Bright, but I would not call it a honeymoon. It was supposed to be two weeks, but he asked me to miss my flight, and he begged me to marry him. He said he loved me and I believed him.”

After returning to Dewsbury, Dawn said Bright travelled back to Nigeria to arrange his spouse visa to join her in Britain.

The visa was eventually approved about a year later, and Dawn travelled to Heathrow Airport to welcome her husband.
Dawn said she tried to help Bright settle into life in Britain, while her brother Rory, 72, helped him secure a manufacturing job at a door company.

However, she said Bright later became distant and began making financial demands, telling her that he was in debt because of expenses from their wedding.

Dawn also said he did not contribute financially to their household and regularly sent money to Nigeria.

“He was sending a lot of money back home to Nigeria.

“I got all-new furniture, and he didn’t put a penny towards it. When we went out for dinner, it was usually me picking up the bill.”

The couple eventually separated in October 2023 but reunited six months later after Dawn received a £63,000 payout following complications from a prolapse operation at an NHS hospital.

Looking back, Dawn said she now regrets taking Bright back after receiving the money.

“I should have worried he was only after my money when we got back together.

“Bright’s eyes must have lit up when he found out I had received so much.

“Whenever we went out to the cinema or for a meal, he made sure it was always me paying.

“I know I shouldn’t have taken him back, but I wasn’t happy being on my own again, and he insisted his intentions were honourable – that he had changed.”
The relationship continued to face difficulties, and shortly before Christmas 2024, Dawn went on a £2,000 Caribbean cruise with her brother.

She said Bright became angry because he believed she should have given him the money to help clear his debts.

After she returned from the cruise, Dawn said Bright left the home and never came back.

She believes he is now living in Scotland, where he appears to have started an online clothing business advertised on social media.

Dawn said she believes Bright’s immigration status is one of the reasons he has refused to proceed with the divorce.

“I know I never should have fallen for him in the first place.

“I’m convinced he was never in love with me and just wanted a visa to move to England.

“And it’s because of his cherished spouse visa that he won’t agree to a divorce.

“I know Bright needs to stay in the UK for another two years before he’s entitled to settle permanently – he’s been here three years.

“I’m getting help from the Citizens Advice Bureau, but it’s taking forever because they need to find out where he’s living.

“I just want him out of my life for good.

“Ialso want people to know that if this can happen to me it can happen to anyone.

“I would advise them to be very careful who they marry, especially when the person is from abroad, because a lot of them are just doing it for a visa – and then they disappear.

“I feel I’m being used.”

So Much Excitement Slowly Turned Into a Home Filled With Manipulation, Toxicity, Tears and Confusion – Lady Ends Her 7-Month Marriage After She and Her Best Friend Married the Same Man

Published

on

A lady has taken to social media to announce the end of her marriage after she and her close friend got married to the same man.

Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here

The lady revealed that just seven months after the wedding, she decided to walk away from the marriage after things reportedly became difficult and toxic.

According to her, she had always shared a strong bond with her friend and never imagined that their decision to marry the same man would eventually lead to such a painful experience.

She explained that while everything initially appeared filled with love and excitement, things gradually changed, and the home became filled with tension, tears, and confusion.

The lady said she eventually realized that remaining in the marriage was taking a toll on her emotionally and decided to leave.

She wrote: “My homegirl and I found love in the same man, and a few months ago, we both said yes. Little did I know that that singular “yes” would be the beginning of a long, heartbreaking chapter of my life. Two best friends, married to the same man… where could it possibly go wrong? At the time, I genuinely believed that the love I had for my friend, and the love we both had for our husband, would be enough to get us through anything. I thought love would make everything easier. I thought friendship would keep us grounded. I thought we had found something rare. But somewhere along the way, things changed. What started with so much excitement slowly became a household filled with manipulation, toxicity, tears, confusion and moments I don’t even know how to explain. I started losing myself without even realizing it. The girl who used to be so full of life became a version of herself she didn’t recognize anymore. And eventually, I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. I left. Walking away hurt, but staying was costing me too much of myself. And honestly, I’m still healing from everything that happened. I’m finally starting to feel like me again. 🤍 There is so much more to this story that I haven’t said. Maybe when I have the strength, I’ll do a proper story time.”

I Thought It Was Just Child’s Play – Mum Cries Out After Her Son Started Talking to Someone They Could Not See Every Night

Published

on

A mother has turned to social media seeking advice after her four-year-old son reportedly began talking regularly to someone she cannot see, particularly at night.

Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here

The woman, identified as Jay VIBES, shared her experience on Facebook, explaining that she initially believed her son was simply engaging in normal childhood play or using his imagination.

However, she became increasingly concerned after noticing that the behaviour had continued almost every night.

According to the mother, she would sometimes hear her son laughing and having conversations alone in his room. When she entered the room, however, he would reportedly stop talking.

Her concern reportedly grew after she asked her son who he was speaking to and he pointed toward an empty corner of the room, claiming that a woman was sitting there.

The mother said her son even described the woman and claimed that she sometimes talks and plays with him, despite the mother never having seen anyone in the room or knowing anyone by the name her son mentioned.

Sharing the full experience online, she wrote:

“My 4-Year-Old Son Keeps Talking to Someone I Cannot See 😳

Please, mothers, I need advice because I am beginning to get scared about my 4-year-old son.

For some time now, my son has been talking to someone in his room, especially at night.

At first, I didn’t think much about it because I thought maybe he was just playing with his toys or imagining things. You know how children can be.

But recently, he started doing it almost every night.

Sometimes I will be in the sitting room and hear him laughing and talking as if someone is there with him.

When I enter the room, he will suddenly stop talking.

I asked him several times who he was talking to, but he would just say, “Nobody, Mummy.”

Yesterday, I decided to ask him again.

I told him, “My son, who are you always talking to in this room?”

He looked at me and pointed to one empty corner of the room.

Then he said,

“Mummy, she is sitting there.”

I honestly got scared.

I asked him, “Who is she?”

He mentioned a woman’s name that I have never heard before.

I asked him what the woman usually tells him, and he said she talks to him and sometimes plays with him.

I asked him what the woman looks like, and he started describing her.

The strange thing is that he only talks about this woman when he is in his room.

I have never seen anybody there, and nobody in our house has that name.

I even asked him if it was one of his teachers or someone he knows from school, but he said no.

I don’t know if my son is simply using his imagination or if this is something I should take seriously.

The part that is making me uncomfortable is that sometimes he will sit alone and laugh, as if somebody is actually playing with him.

Yesterday, before he went to bed, he looked at that same corner and said,

“Goodnight. I will see you tomorrow.”

I honestly didn’t know what to say.

I don’t want to frighten my child or make him feel like he has done something wrong.

But as his mother, I am also worried because I don’t understand what is happening.

Please, mothers, has anybody experienced something like this with a child before?

Could this just be a child’s imagination, or should I be concerned and talk to his doctor or teacher about it?

I really need advice because I don’t know whether I am overthinking this or my son is trying to tell me something. 😩😩

Please, has this happened to your child before? What did you do?”

I Returned the Bride Price He Paid on My Head – Woman Ends Marriage After Accusing Husband of Abandoning Their 3 Children and Leaving Her With All the Responsibilities

Published

on

A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to reveal that she has returned the bride price her ex-husband paid when they got married, following a disagreement over the welfare of their three children.

Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here

The woman shared her experience on Facebook, explaining that she and her former husband had been divorced for nine months. According to her, during that period, her ex-husband allegedly failed to contribute financially towards the children’s school fees, feeding, medical bills and clothing.

She claimed that she contacted him to have a mature conversation about their three children, particularly because the children had reportedly spent some time out of school due to disagreements between the former couple.

According to the woman, the situation became more difficult after schools resumed and she needed to register the children. She said a school close to her home was charging ₦370,000 per child for first-time registration, including school books, test books and other required items.

For her three children, she said the total cost would amount to ₦1.11 million.

The woman explained that she was not demanding that her ex-husband pay the entire amount but wanted him to contribute part of the expenses since the children are also his responsibility.

She wrote:

“I called my ex-husband for us to have a conversation & talk maturely like adults that we are concerning our 3 kids that since January 9 months we divorced he hasn’t sent a dime shi-shi kobo for 3 whole kids down from school fees, feeding, medications 💊, clothing, etc nothing nothing. he doesn’t even care weather they are feeding, schooling or not while he has money is not as if he’s broke. & he told me that God forbid bad thing that he will never ever in his entire life send anything for them. That he have the money but he will not send. Ok now school hv resumed & we all know how Abuja schools are expensive especially this my area any good school here is expensive. & my 3 kids needs to be registered this first term entering b/c they hv been home for terms due to the quarry’s between I & my ex & he refusal for putting them in school. Now good school that is closer to my house Incase of picking them up there registration for first entrance is 370k per child including there main school book, test book, different wears like practically everything. Now multiply 370k into 3 = 1,110,000 I even told him to come make the enquirements himself in the school to be sure am telling the truth. The main point is that am not even asking him to bring all but to contribute even if it’s half or quarter of the money. b/c I know am married now soo am not expecting him to do all they are also my kids & have be taking care of their bills from head to toes 3 of them for 9 good months now.
