Man self-deported from US after cheating on wife

The narrator alleged that although his uncle had cheated several times, the last incident had occurred about 15 years before the divorce proceedings began.

He claimed the divorce became financially demanding after the woman allegedly sought child support, took ownership of two houses in the United States, and also requested alimony.

In his words:

“He cheated multiple times, but the last time was about 15 years ago. She brought it up, divorced him, took child support, took his two houses in the U.S. and still wanted alimony.”

According to the man, his uncle decided not to continue fighting the case in the United States. Instead, he allegedly deported himself to Nigeria, preferring to leave the country rather than remain involved in prolonged legal proceedings.

He further claimed that his uncle told his former wife that if they wished to pursue the alimony case further, they could do so in Nigeria.

The narrator also alleged that years later, the ex-wife lost both properties because she was unable to maintain them financially.

He added that the former couple's eldest daughter later travelled to Nigeria after turning 24 in search of her father.

According to the post, the father explained his side of the story to his daughter, who allegedly forgave him, allowing the pair to rebuild their relationship after years apart.

“He told them to come to Nigeria if they wanted to fight for alimony. Years later, when his eldest daughter turned 24, she came to Nigeria to look for him. He explained everything to her, and she forgave him. They reconnected,” he added.
