The Untalented Mr Woodrow

I’m having a bad day at work, my nerves are barely holding together as a result of work pressure and this creepy moron’s email pops up again on my mail box, I have been spamming his emails since 2004 but he or she keeps opening new ones. What sort of stupid and ludicrous proposal is this? He appears to be getting more desperate and now chain emails, sometimes storming my box with 5 emails at a time. I’m really going crazy with this chap and wish I could just grab his neck some how.

I have tried calling his number (08036743028) to give him a piece of my mind but haven’t been able to get through, I’m now wondering if maybe its just me, am I being paranoid or is there anyone out there that is also being harassed by this fool? This jerk can see from my name that I’m Nigerian, and that I would never fall for his con because I’m not a mugu, but for some reasons he won’t give up. Does anybody please have any ideas how I can disentangle myself from the stupid Mr Woodrow?

Unlike the smart Matt Damon in the scam movie The Talented Mr Ripley, Mr Woodrow is very untalented in his game, he has been sending me the same message now for months, maybe it is the non-personal nature of his proposals that is getting to me, and I’m tired of reading the same rubbish from him. If he was smart he should have tried something new and see if I would fall to his bait.

Below is Mr Woodrow’s storyline.

Nigerian Men and their Foreign Wives

Culturally, Nigerian men are overbearing, controlling, and paternalistic.  They relate to their fathers and mothers differently. They believe it is “a man’s world” and so they have the tendency to relegate women to subservient roles. I am stunned by the transformation Nigerian men, married to non-Nigerian women, have gone through in the United States...

Lost in a Sea of Hair Weaves

One can understand some black women wearing wigs for the same reasons that some white women do; because they are losing or have lost their hair. One can even make allowances for wigs being worn for the occasional change of look. But how to explain young women with full heads of hair who will never be seen dead with their natural hair?
