A European family is expressing deep concern as their 65-year-old relative plans to divorce his wife and move to Lagos, Nigeria, to marry a young woman he met on TikTok.
A Reddit user, who claims to be the man’s nephew, disclosed this on Saturday, February 15, 2025.
He said his relative has been in communication with the woman for over a year and already sent substantial amounts of money to her for various reasons.
“It started a year ago. My uncle (65+, married) met a young girl (20-25) on TikTok, started chatting and fell in love… Since then, he sent a lot of money to her for numerous reasons,” the Reddit user said.
“Despite the family’s efforts to intervene, the uncle remains resolute in his decision, dismissing concerns about potential scams.
“He doesn’t listen to anyone, doesn’t believe that it is a scam. My family is afraid that he will be robbed, tortured, or murdered there.”
The situation has sparked a debate on Reddit, with users sharing their perspectives.
