Clayton Udo, a Nigerian IT expert based in the United States, has raised significant concerns regarding the challenges African men face in marriages, particularly in the U.S. According to Udo, many African men have been financially drained and left in difficult emotional and financial situations by their wives, with some reportedly fleeing to other countries or even succumbing to distress.
In a candid discussion, Udo shared the unfortunate reality many African men are enduring, saying, “Many African men are being left in dire conditions, financially drained by their wives, with some even fleeing to Mexico or Canada to escape. These men are being financially burdened, with large sums of money demanded from them by their wives, and in the end, many are left with nothing.”
He explained that some African women have used social media platforms, like TikTok and Facebook, to post happy images with their children while leaving behind their husbands, showcasing the homes and possessions they’ve taken. Udo lamented the widespread nature of these issues, highlighting that hundreds of African men have tragically lost their lives or have had their lives destroyed over the past decade due to financial and emotional distress caused by such marital problems.
Udo also recounted his own experience of divorce, revealing how his ex-wife allegedly turned to multiple recruiters in the IT industry, claiming that she had completed her own courses, which led to his career being jeopardized. “She went to each recruiter and reported me, and by the time I called them, they had already signed her up. It was a complete clash of interest.”
The Nigerian IT expert accused some women of fabricating abuse claims to gain an advantage in legal disputes. “Many men have lost everything—homes, children, and dignity—due to these false claims of verbal and physical abuse. Some women marry men to escape poverty and later strip them of everything they’ve worked for,” Udo warned, advising African men to be careful when choosing a life partner.
He further emphasized that many African women, in his view, use marriage as a way to climb out of poverty, only to later take everything from their husbands, including their homes and children. "They will take everything you have and leave you with nothing," Udo cautioned, sharing his concern that many African men in the U.S. are silently suffering, even as their families turn against them.
Udo’s alarming observations have sparked conversation within the African community, urging men to carefully consider their marital choices and protect their financial and emotional well-being.
