Marriage in the Diaspora: A Quicksand

Call this book a must-read for any African wishing to live overseas, and you'd be very correct!

There are many people whose only crime is falling in love with a woman they shouldn't have fallen in love with. There are many who're in tears today because of their wrong choices -- especially in the aspect of a life partner. Whatever you do as a young man, the author admonishes that any decision on taking your wife to the diaspora with you or returning to Nigeria or any other African country to get married to a woman and then take her abroad with you, should be made after you've read this book.

This book isn't any fiction. The author, having spent over 42 years in the diaspora, has had a thousand and one experiences you'd be glad you learnt about. He discovered that many youths are unaware of how things could turn against them abroad, if they didn't act guided while settling down in the diaspora. They could regret their decisions of marriage in the diaspora, if they throw caution to the wind.
