Mary Remmy Njoku warns women to beware of abroad-based returnees this Christmas as she recounts personal story

Mary Remmy Njoku has warned Nigerian women to beware of abroad based returnees this Christmas. 

 

She said many of them are not what they claim to be.

 

She recalled a personal experience with a returnee who had a "weird accent and pocket full of lies".

 

She said the man claimed to run a big law firm in London.

 

Years later, she saw him in a barber shop in the UK and he couldn't look her in the eye.

 

"So, be careful with IJGB (I just got back) this Christmas," she wrote. "I wanna gonna is not a measure of one's intelligence or success."

      As an IJGB I feel very seen. Very funny, and really quite true. For me I will say a lot of people pepper you because of your accent and assume my position has to be better than their own. I have never made up stories about my position abroad but my Queens English make people believe otherwise. My only thing is the man being in the barber and not looking at her doesn't say it all, a genuine person could of lost their job since seeing you, made bad moves and lost their business. And honestly some people making 70k£ plus will still travel to the hair salon in the hood cause that place just does it the best. People are suffering in UK for sure but many are doing very well, and embelish come Christmas time, and others have no kobo till month end when they return to the abroad after xmas. Bottom line be careful and don't take everything for truth.

      Never knew this lady is this dumb! This people try their best to dissuade people from relocating abroad, I've seen some pastors do it too. It's wicked! You're not their GOD. Guys, pray sincerely to God with an open heart is He wants you relocating, if He says yes, please go for it. If He says no, stay back in Naija, He will make a way for you. But don't ever listen to all these slave drivers and people who wants people working for them for paltry salaries. They need "house helps". The best thing that happened to me, besides the Salvation of my soul and marrying my wife, is relocating to the west. May be because i didn't jump at the offer when i was offered but prayed about it and He said "GO". With God, it sure would be a better deal for you than that Naija, where your life is not valued.

      Look at this one. She thinks barbers shop in jand is the type at the beginning of her street. The man will probably be making more money than even white collar people in jand or even bank managers in Naija so what is she saying. I know a barber called perfect in Australia the guy has like 8 houses plus you are your own boss. There is no shame anywhere barbing salons, beauty salons those things are money spinners in the west. Maybe he is really a lawyer tackling bar exams should he beg while processing his call to the bar. Heck maybe we really does have a law firm and has other side businesses. Even in naija all those barbing salons in VI are owned by established business men. So madam sit down at least he is not doing drugs etc.

      Well for all her annoying talks, she is right this time. This is also the first time I have seen her look beautiful. Kudos to who ever dressed her up.

      How I wish Nigerians abroad stop sending money to help people in naija for just one month… no school fees, no rent , no food money, nothing.. and then let’s know how far. Nigerians abroad work very hard, May not be filthy rich, but are very comfortable because the system abroad works. They then out of the money they work hard for send something to their loved ones and people like this girl mock them for whatever reason. What if the guy has another job and barbing is his side hustle which he puts that money together and sends to his relatives in naija. Please stop abroad shaming people especially decent people

    But the guy don't hammer you once. It seems you were sampling UK guys before you met Jason. Be careful and shut up madam. Don't expose your dirty past.

    My sister I stay here in UK and can tell you that some one working in salon here and that is serious with his life is richer than your banker in Nigeria. Hair cut here is 20 to 25£. That is 20 to 25k naira per person. Some weekends my barber attends to over 30 people.

  11. Anonymous

    What is this obnoxious woman saying? My barber charges me about $25 per cut. Let’s say on a bad day he cuts 10 people’s hair, that’s $250 a day if he works for only 25 days per month that’s $6,250. That’s about $75,000 a year (at a minimum). Or N57,750,000 per year. How many people make that in Nigeria? So yeah, let IJGB enjoy their groove and let who want to enjoy the IJGB man do so in peace!

    When they post somehow not to sensible talks and have a sex inviting picture as dp, don't ever take them serious. They want you to to compromise that at least she still has sense. Men, don't fall for it at all, these women are mankind deceitful.

    You talked about UK barber like it's a shame to be one. Shame on you for shaming those who cut hair for living. You stink woman ! They watch Iroko TV all day in their shops. Those UK batbers and hairdressers pay your bills via subscriptions. They don't do drugs but honest and dignified earnings ,yet you are here shaming them. Do you make more money than them ? No high street barber in the Manchester makes less than £300 a day. My barber works from home, we queue up always for his service. You and many like you are the reasons our youths want to do quick rich schemes. Idiot you shaming people that are hardworking. Oloshi olosho radarada

    Once a woman gets married there is this form of pride that comes with it, which makes her automatic adviser.

    So what about some of the generous ones like us . I training over 8 young ladies in the university and still taking care of my parents and siblings and supporting my friends and still giving my family a good and healthy life in the UK. We also have continue to invest heavily in Nigeria and the UK

    Our people in Nigeria tend to think in warped ways. What exactly is Mary saying here? She is making certain assumptions that are simply wrong. He could be a lawyer with a flair for hair dressing and vice versa. Lots of professionals multitask, this friend of hers could very well have green fingers. Furthermore, barbing/hair dressing is a high income producing creative art. From sports people to journalists, barbers/hair dressers are greatly rewarded - especially in the performing arts industry, Mary should know for goodness sake. One has to now wonder how much IrokoTV pays their in-house barbers, hair dressers, stylists, etc.
