6 PERSONAL QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR AFRICAN MAN | SERIOUS INFORMATION TO GLEAN

Down throughout the years, I have dated a lot of different types of African men that prefer to conceal certain types of information for a variety of reasons.

Today, I will discuss the top 6 questions that you need to sit down, look your man in the eye and ask him. The purpose of this article is to encourage you ladies to make sure you are not being played and make sure you are in a secure trustworthy relationship with your African man.

These are questions that only your man can answer and a background check can't really detect sometimes. Don't fall too in love that you avoid asking these questions for fear of finding out something. Would you rather be deceived or informed?

419/Yahoo Boys/scammers and men with ill intentions will not like this video or any other content on this channel or my blog. Ladies, avoid heartbreak by asking questions and getting the truth upfront.


1. His real age
Only 2 out of the many African men that I have run across were honest and disclosed their real age. You need to ask your man how old he really is. Some African men that are in the UK, USA or Canada have had some kind of change to their age on the birth certificate or papers in order to get into the country. Whatever age the birth certificate says his USA ID will say. Ask him upfront to tell you. If he is honest with you then that is good, but if he is not, I encourage you to leave that alone. I met my 1st son's father at age 19 and he showed me an ID that said he was 28 but later he disclosed that he was really 40. My ex-husband also did the same thing and deceived me. Ask upfront.


2. Wife and Kids
Ask your African man if he is really married back home or has kids. A lot of African men may be in the USA, Canada or the UK but they are working towards a goal. The goal could be to find an American woman and marry her and become a citizen down the road, then bring over the wife and kids. Discern and listen to him very closely. Honestly, I hate to go extreme by telling you to get a lie detector test but you may have to if your gut is telling you he is lying. I have run across some really smooth-talking liars. Please be aware.

3. Green Card/Papers
Some African men shy down regarding talking about their immigration status in general. It is up to you to be upfront and not be scared to ask your man if he is here on a student visa, work visa or what? Your love goal should be not to be deceived in any way. See past the swag smoke into the real intentions of any African guy that you decide to date. Your heart is serious business and you should stop seeing any man that is lying to you about his status.

4. Source of Income
There are some African men that are addicted to scamming & defrauding others and it is really important that you verify what kind of job he does. You don't want the FEDs to knock on your door one day or you be accused of being an accessory to a crime you have never done. Have you ever seen him at his job? Does he have proof that he really works there? Is he working under the table? If so, why? These are questions you need to ask.
A person told me about how this lady fell in love with an African man and gave him control over her business. Well, the guy began to scam the government by filing bad tax returns and she had no clue about it. Soon the feds were knocking on her door and she went to jail and he did as well. Be wise ladies.

5. Family Members
I have noticed that a lot of African people, in general, like to call someone that they have known for decades their cousin, sister, brother and so on. If your African guy introduces you to a person and says "this is my brother", "cousin" or "sister" or "aunt" you should later ask if that is his blood-related relative. It is important to distinguish the blood relatives...
