> A UK-based Nigerian woman, Prisca Eziefule Ulu, has shared the shocking moment she discovered that someone had secretly advised her mother-in-law to block her chances of joining her husband abroad — a story that will resonate deeply with many Nigerian women.

We all know how it is in Nigeria. The moment your husband relocates abroad, the vultures begin to circle. Whether it is distant relatives, jealous neighbours, or so-called “well-wishers,” someone will always have something to say about your marriage — especially when Europe or America enters the picture.
For UK-based Nigerian woman Prisca Eziefule Ulu*, this was not just a rumour or hearsay. She personally recalled the moment she discovered that someone had gone behind her back to advise her mother-in-law to *discourage her husband from bringing her to Europe.
The Plot That Almost Changed Her Life
Prisca opened up about the incident, revealing how a third party had approached her mother-in-law with the specific agenda of ensuring she never made it abroad to join her husband. In Nigeria, we call this kind of behaviour “pulling someone down” — and it is unfortunately more common than we would like to admit.
Many Nigerian women have experienced similar situations. The moment a husband secures residency or citizenship abroad, certain individuals begin working overtime to ensure his wife back home never gets the opportunity to join him. The reasons are often rooted in envy, malice, or ulterior motives that most decent people would be ashamed to admit.
Why Stories Like This Matter
Prisca’s revelation is not just a personal testimony — it is a mirror reflecting a painful reality that thousands of Nigerian women face silently every day. From Port Harcourt to Enugu, from Lagos to Abuja, women are navigating not just the challenges of long-distance marriages but also the invisible enemies working tirelessly against their happiness.
The good news? Prisca’s story appears to have had a positive ending — she is, after all, UK-based today.
A Word for Every Nigerian Woman Going Through This
If you are currently in a situation where it feels like the whole world is conspiring against your marriage or your chance at a better life, take heart. As our people say, “Onye wetara oji wetara ndụ” — but we also know that what God has ordained, no man — or woman — can cancel.
Stay focused, stay prayerful, and most importantly, know who your real enemies are.
