A UK-based Nigerian woman, Uloma Nwogu, has shared a harrowing account of her experience with the father of her children, whom she claims resurfaced after years of absence in an alleged attempt to use her as a pathway into the United Kingdom.
In a post shared on Facebook, Uloma recounted how she single-handedly raised her children for six years, before relocating to the UK with them two years ago. She described the emotional and financial toll of parenting alone in a foreign country, revealing that the stress contributed to her developing high blood pressure.
Uloma stated that the children’s father unexpectedly reached out to her in January via a Facebook message, expressing a desire to reconnect with the children after years of no contact. However, she claimed the reunion was not as it seemed. According to her, the man soon proposed that she include him in her visa application to facilitate his entry into the UK, offering to reimburse her for the children’s school fees from the past six years in return.
Uloma’s post has since sparked conversations online, with many expressing sympathy over her situation and warning others to be cautious of such opportunistic approaches in diaspora communities.
