A small-caliber handgun was found near the bodies, police said. The Berks County coroner declared her death a homicide and his death a suicide. Chukwudubem A. Okafor, 64, an associate professor of English at Kutztown University, was said to have shot his wife, Cheryl V., 37, who was an artist, several times Sunday afternoon and turned the gun on himself shortly after they arrived separately at the home of his sister, Patricia Ofilin, in the 300 block of Pear Street, investigators said.                     Kelechi Emeruwa..Maryland   Theophilus Ojukwu ...Dallas, TEXAS   Michael C. Iheme  advertisement     Michael C. Iheme....Missouri   Nigerian kills wife in Maryland, US    "Emeruwa later that morning apparently in the climax of an argument stabbed his wife to death. " A Nigerian woman was found murdered in a Burtonsville, Maryland, U.S. home she lived with her husband and three children. Police responding to a report of an unconscious woman, found the lifeless body of 36-year-old Chidiebere Omenihu Ochulo around 2:30 a.m, Monday at their home. There was no sign of her 41-year-old husband, Kelechi Charles Emeruwa and their three children. Mr. Emeruwa was seen washing a blood stained knife according to unconfirmed reports. He was believed to have fled the city with the children. Police on failing to locate Mr. Emeruwa and the children at their home, commenced a manhunt for the suspect and issued an Amber Alert on the missing children. The children who share the last name Emeruwa, are Elijah(4), Antinnoe(6) and Jachi(8). Amber Alert is a U.S. voluntary partnership program between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, and transportation agencies to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to air a description of the abducted child and suspected abductor. The deceased had filed domestic violence complaints with authorities in the past, also called the police to their home on several occasions Emeruwa was abusive to her. In January 2006, Emeruwa was charged with second-degree assault for head-butting his wife twice in the lip, according to court documents filed in Prince George’s County. The troubled relationship made Emeruwa’s family members concerned of Ochulo's safety. Around 6:15 p.m the same day a car matching the description of the suspect's was spotted in Olney, one of the neighboring towns. The witness contacted police who pursued the car, with the suspect ramming several cruisers and police cars before coming to a halt at a dead end. Police thereafter shot out the tires. Police arrested the suspect, 41-year-old Kelechi Charles Emeruwa, on a first-degree murder warrant in the death of his wife. The children were unharmed and taken into custody by police. The children would be cared for by Child Protective Services until they could be placed with family members, according to police. Emeruwa was charged in court the following day, Tuesday, with the murder of his wife. The suspect, wearing a green jumpsuit, appeared via closed-circuit television for the hearing in Montgomery County District Court in Rockville. The judge ordered him to turn over his passport and held him without bond. Charging documents indicate the suspect stayed with the children at their family home while his wife traveled to Nigeria. On Monday, Emeruwa drove to Dulles Airport to pick up the wife upon her arrival from Nigeria. Ochulo was upset with the husband for driving her car. Emeruwa later that morning apparently in the climax of an argument stabbed his wife to death. Their three children may have witnessed part of the attack. Ikenna, the suspect’s brother called police after he arrived the couple's home and found Ochulo sprawled on the floor with the whereabouts of other members of the family unknown. A preliminary hearing in the case is set for January 26.

Nigerian wife killer gets life in U.S.  "Theophilus, according to reports, after the murder took his children to a motel, ordered pizza, ate with them after which he called 911 to report the incident." A Texas Dallas County jury recommended life in prison for Theophilus Ojukwu, 47, a Nigerian national after he pleaded guilty to the murder of his 36-year-old wife Melvina. The judge consequently sentenced him to life imprisonment. Theophilus on Saturday, March 25, 2006 reportedly fatally beat his wife on the head with a socket wrench while their four children, ages 4 through 9, were in the house and heard her screams. Theophilus pleaded guilty after the 911 tape was played for the jury. In the recording, he admitted to the slaying. He is to spend 40 years in prison before eligibility for parole. Theophilus, according to reports, after the murder took his children to a motel, ordered pizza, ate with them after which he called 911 to report the incident. He stated he had killed his wife and she was in their home in the 5400 block of Barcelona Drive in Garland. Garland Police and Fire personnel responded to the Barcelona address where they found Theophilus' wife dead in one of the bedrooms. Both Mesquite and Garland Police responded to the Motel in Mesquite where the caller was and he was arrested without incident. Child Protective Services(CPS) was called to take custody and care of the children. In 2004 Melvina's mother, who was visiting, died allegedly under questionable circumstances in the same house where her daughter was later murdered. Edmund Neboh, a cousin of late Melvina Ojukwu made a very emotional statement after the verdict and sentencing. He praised the U.S. justice system, saying the life sentence imposed on Theophilus would send a strong message to African immigrants that wife killers would not get away with the crime ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ________ Till Death Do Us Part’ seems to be a catch-all phrase demonstrative of how deeply in love bride and bridegroom are with each other when exchanging vows before a clergy, family members, friends and well-wishers. Little did Chidiebere, a nurse, know that her death would come in the hands of a man she once loved; a man that solemnly swore to protect her in sickness and good health, in poverty and in riches, and of course, a man that swore to be there for her until death do them part. Sadly, little did Ms. Ochulo know it was going to be a deadly broken vow! Indeed, it has happened again! That was the cry among the Nigerian community in the United States when news about another family violence death broke. Sorrowfully, another Nigerian marriage ended deadly in Burtonsville, Maryland on New Year, Monday, January 1, 2007. A Nigerian has abruptly ended the life of his wife in Burtonsville, suburb of Washington, DC. Mr. Kelechi Charles Emeruwa, 41, of Old Umuahia on New Year, cut short of his wife’s life, Chidiebere Omenihu Ochulo, 36, of Old Umuahia in their 4200 block of Dunwood Terrace in Burtonsvillle, Maryland home. It was reported that Chidiebere died from stab wounds. However, Officer Melanie Hadley, spokesperson for Montgomery County Police, could not confirm it citing, “official autopsy report is not out”. After killing his wife, Mr. Emeruwa fled to a nearby city, Olney, with his three children, Kelechi Elijah Emeruwa, 4 years-of-age, Tochi (Antinnoe) Emeruwa, 6 years-of-age and Jaachi Emeruwa, 8 years-of-age. His flight with the three children triggered the “Amber Alert” for the children. Amber alert is a nation-wide system for searching and locating missing children.  Emeruwa was shortly arrested after a brief police chase with the children unharmed. While Mr. Emeruwa remained in custody charged with first degree murder, his children are currently under the custody of Child Protective Services (CPS) pending the availability of a suitable relative for a temporary and subsequent permanent placement of the children. According to Officer Melanie Hadley, “Mr. Emeruwa remains in custody without bond; he’s charged with first degree murder. His children are current with CPS.” It has been reported that Mr. Emeruwa and his wife had a history of domestic violence and at one time, they were separated for about 12 months. However, during my interview with Officer Hadley, she said, “We do not discuss prior history of defendants.” Based on court records obtained by Washington Post, Emeruwa and his wife had an extensive record of family violence. “The marriage between Emeruwa and Ochulo was marred by violence and threats by Emeruwa, according to court records,” reported Washington Post on January, 3 2007. “On July 19, 2004, Ochulo obtained a temporary protective order in Prince George's District Court; it was later rescinded at her request, court records show. Ochulo wrote that Emeruwa had sent word through relatives that he promised to get help for his problems.” “On April 19, 2005, a District Court judge in Prince George's again granted Ochulo a temporary protective order. The couple were living in Beltsville with their children at the time, according to court records.” “In that application for court protection, Ochulo wrote that Emeruwa had come into the room where she was sleeping with the children at 2 a.m. April 15 and told her to cook for him. When she refused, Emeruwa shoved her to the floor and punched her, Ochulo wrote. She wrote that Emeruwa had abused her several times and had threatened to kill her and the children.” “The protective order was rescinded May 4 at Ochulo's request after she wrote to a judge saying that Emeruwa had apologized through his family.” “On Jan. 31, 2006, she said that he head-butted her twice on the mouth, threatened to kill her, and told her that police could not protect her. On Nov. 9, those charges were dropped because Ochulo did not appear at a court hearing, said prosecutors and Lawrence Hill, the defense attorney at the time.” Sources close to the family said that the Emeruwas had experienced sporadic family violence for the past few years. There other similar stories of deadly domestic violence among Nigerians in the United States. Not too long ago, a Nigerian, Mr. Theophilus Ojukwu, 46, of Enugwu-Agu, Ihe in Ogwu LGA, Enugu State, who killed his wife in their 5400 block of Barcelona Drive home in Garland, Texas on Saturday, March 25, 2006 has since been sentenced to life in prison. Similarly, in Grand Prairie, a suburb of Dallas, Texas, Mrs. Monireti Abeni Akeredolu, a 46-year old Nigerian lady met her untimely death in the hands of her estranged husband, Mr. Ebenezer Akeredolu, Sr., 48, on Thursday night, September 8, 2005, a day after her birthday. Also, on August 10, 2005 in Euless, a suburb of Dallas, another Nigerian husband, Johnny Omorogieva, 45, murdered his wife, Mrs. Isatu Omorogieva, 35, by savagely striking her on the head numerous times with a hammer in the full glare of his 7-year old daughter. With the exception of Mr. Emeruwa who’s awaiting trial, these men have since been sentenced to prison. Unfortunately, the surviving children of these families are left to grow up without their parents. Some people continue to wonder why some of these marriages end deadly. It appears that the gargantuan societal pressure of living a good life coupled with an undue burden from family members in Nigeria continue to exacerbate the already troubled many Nigerian marriages. Additionally, some Nigerian marriages in the Diaspora are steadily and surely growing out of love. Compounding the marital problem is the issue of infidelity on both sides. Sadly, infidelity has ruined some Nigerian marriages in America. Some of the recent divorces have claims of infidelity as their primary causes of marriage travails.  Marital infidelity is causing a vast majority of Nigerian marriages flagging with the inevitability of total collapse. No other Nigerian community has suffered more jinx of infidelity than the Dallas area Nigerians. The aspersion has permeated the fabric of what was once considered a cohesive community. This has broken the trust members of Nigerian community once had with each other. Sad still, the infidelity among Nigerians has been worsened by the recent trend. The latest trend is the annual visit—pilgrimage as some call it—the men pay to Nigeria in the month of December. While in Nigeria some of these men engage in a high risk behavior with flawed boldness and reckless and perhaps, short-lived excitement in the face of ravaging effects of AIDS. This reckless behavior is utterly deplorable. Nevertheless, it’s not only dreadfully wrong, but also sacrilegious for anyone to take the life of the other, especially his or her spouse. There are other options to get out of a marriage besides killing a spouse. Domestic violence is not one of them; Nigerian community everywhere must help stop this madness—domestic violence! 500 Nigerians in US Jails charged with femicide Nigerian in US murder mess By Ike Nnamdi, The Sun Reporter, New York The Sun, Tuesday, Michael C. IhemeA Nigerian national who police authorities said gunned down his wife in cold blood has pleaded not guilty to the act, in a case that has thrown the country's community in Missouri into mourning. According to police records, Michael C. Iheme shot his estranged wife Anthonia in a parking lot and calmly called police and said, "I have killed the woman that messed my life up, a woman that had destroyed me," A Hennepin County, St. Louis Criminal Court said Iheme will be subjected to mental evaluation before his trial will commence. Police said Anthonia, 28 a mother of two children was shot by her husband as she left work at an assisted-living center. Two witnesses reported seeing a man matching Iheme's description with a gun near his wife's car in the parking lot. County court records showed that she had an restraining order against Iheme because of a history of domestic abuse. One of Anthonia co-workers said she saw her get into her car and then Iheme get out of his car and shoot at her car, which lurched forward, clipped a van, jumped a curb and rolled down a hill into a fence. Iheme allegedly followed the car down the hill and fired more shots. A neighbor said Iheme stayed home to care for their two children while Anthonia worked to provide for the family. Reports said Anthonia moved out after repeated fights with her husband. American law enforcement agencies have reported a disturbing increase in the number of domestic abuse cases involving Nigerians. According to records, over 500 Nigerians are in jail or awaiting trial in several states for killing their spouses. Socials workers attribute the trend to pressure and stress of juggling sometimes multiple jobs and family, while trying to keep up with the expectations. Posted by Jeremy at 8:03 PM   10 comments: Anonymous,  10:25 PM   I think these cases can be linked to certain Nigerian cultures. That our 'Noblesse Oblige'culture of expecting from people, who we feel have money to fulfill certain responsiblities and really be flamboyant. And men are often subjects to this prevailent culture that needs to be reformed. The Iheme guy's was screaming that his wife destroyed his life and he's the one without a job. Goes to show how affected some are, by this culture, and the extent pple can be pushed to. Ms. Catwalq,  7:52 AM   It is not just nigerians, there are alot of African men in the same situation. The fact is that, abroad they (the men) cannot get away with some of the things that are excused by our cultures and attitudes at home. Say for instance, you cannot just grab your wife and have sex just because you want to. if she doesn't want to, that is rape. In Nigeria, most women don't even know that so u can imagine the bewilderment a Nigerian man is faced with when he is suddenly turned criminal for "enjoying his husbandly rights" Or imagine the man that goes home to get a "pure and traditional" woman only to realise that she went into the whole thing for papers. There are so many scenarios but the underlying factor is that abroad, the woman is given rights, protection and privileges that she can enjoy and possibly exploit. And then again, remember that we do not allow any evidence of mental illness to be discussed or addressed, so possibly we have lot of disturbed men... Anonymous,  11:37 AM   jeremy, how do you know its femicide. the article you posted merely referred to spouses as the victims, with no reference to gender Anonymous,  11:39 AM   ms. catwalq, what then are the reasons for women killing their significant others in these instances. i guess even then it must be the man's fault for driving her to hill Buki,  12:32 PM   Many Nigerians who live in diaspora are generally depressed. This is something we hate to face up to because we believe any form of ill mental health is spiritual attack (maybe some) but a lot of people are actually depressed because of the situations they have forced themselves to live in. There are many "paper" marriages with the naija man/woman labouring to satisfy the paper spouse and his family back home. And after years of continuous slavery in a foreign land, a trip to nigeria reveals that all those they were labouring for are doing extremely better than them, their friends who seemed to be in pitiful states are soaring and they are just a mess? And you wonder why they fire? Not saying that they should pick up a gun and kill somebody but our people need to be realistic in their choices, if you cant fend for your younger ones, cousins and the lot... speak out! You only have one life. Anengiyefa,  12:58 PM   @ Anonymous 10.25, I dont believe that the story provides enough information to cause anyone to jump to the conclusion that because he was unemployed, he could not be justified in claiming that the deceased woman destroyed his life. Better to keep an open mind until you know more about the reality of the circumstances of their lives. I do not accept that wife battering has anything to do with whether a person is Nigerian or African. I suspect that it is more of a serious matter in the Western world because women's right's are better protected in those places. There are wife beaters in every country on every continent, but there are Nigerian/African men too who respect their partners and who would never resort to violence under any circumstances. Having said that, Mr Iheme's alleged act was more than a mere case of wife battering. He is said to have pulled up in a car park and calmly shot dead the mother of his children, in cold blood, then telephoned the police to say what he had done. This speaks of a very disturbed mind and the said proposed mental evaluation is in my estimation, the correct course of action to take with a view to determining the extent of his criminal liability.

Have you ever seen the face of a wife killer? Have you ever met anyone who took the life of the mother of his children? Have you ever seen or met such a person who is a Nigerian? How spooky it is indeed that such a person has the blood of another human being and a Nigerian for that matter, drooling over his hands! Such a hallowing experience becomes much creepier, when that monster who took the life of a Nigerian is also a fellow Nigerian whom you may have interacted with somehow. somewhat! Now buckle up your belt as Icheoku takes you on a harried excursion through the faces, names and somewhat biographies of some of these denigrate of society! They are painting the average Joe-Nigerian man in American as a domestic violent person; a potential wife killer! A bad name indeed, really? They are the worst of the Nigerian male society in America: the dregs of the society! They are the fabled black-sheep who have defiled and violated the sanctity of the Nigerian family cohesiveness. These men killed their WIVES! They made their children motherless! It is abominable! Brace yourself!

Now, meet denigrate person wife-killer number one, Mr. Kelechi CharlesEmeruwa:- A Nigerian Mr. KelechiCharles Emeruwa, (pictured here right) 41 of Old Umuahia, Abia State was charged and convicted with first degree murder of his estranged wife, 36 year old Registered Nurse, Chidiebere Omenihu Ochulo. Kelechi finally lost it and stabbed his wife, with her own kitchen knife, several times that the fountain left on Julius Ceaser fades in comparison, until she gave up the ghost. "According to the account, Chidiebere had just returned from Nigeria where she bolted away for three weeks to give her late father a lavish burial despite protestations of Mr. Kelechi of the bills that are accruing and payable here in America. She wouldn’t hear any of it, after-all she makes the money; only to return to an angry frustrated maniacal husband who took her kitchen knife and carved her up. It was on New Year’s Day, in her townhouse in the 4200 block of Dunwood Terrace, in the Washington DC suburb ofBurtonsville in Montgomery County, Maryland.

For a little biography, Chidiebere was born on June 1, 1970 and attended schools in Umuahia and Yola before proceeding to University of Nigeria Nsukka where she bagged a degree in Microbiology. She then got married to Kelechi in 1996 and left for the US the same year, having won the American Visa lottery. In an effort to really settle down in the US and get a respectable job, she took a second degree in Nursing and began a career at Washington Hospital Centre. As a result of her hard work, she got to the peak of the administrative cadre as a Deputy Director, Clinical Services, at the Centre where she remained until her death in the cold hands of the man she once loved - the father of her three children.

In Tennessee, a Nigerian man after taking it for so long, lost his cool and shot his Registered Nurse wife as well as his hitherto mother in-law to death with a shot gun. According to the account this RN wife was married from Nigeria a pauper and brought to the United States by this man, who trained her in school as a registered nurse. Soon after her qualification, the demon in her was let loose and it became one torment after another, with one police call after another followed by sleep-over in police cells and it went on and on ad infinitum. After a protracted battle with the authorities at the wife’s instigation, this man lost his almost nearly paid-off home to his wife, including the custody of his three kids by her. He sees these kids just periodically according to court’s order and at the discretionary behest of the wife who sometimes comes to the appointed custody visitation ground at a time of her choosing; just to punish and suffer this man. He could not take it any longer and now the rest is history with two women shot dead and the killer in death row awaiting the electric chair.

Another lunatic fringed monster, Mr. Theophilus Ojukwu has equally entered the annals of Nigerian men wife-killers in the United States of America! This cancer of wife killing by Nigerian husbands is fast spreading that the Nigerian society is getting numb and used to it, as one of the social maladies of our times. A heinous act which hitherto would be very abominable that people are shocked to their bone marrows is today seen as a possibility. In Garland, Texas on Saturday, March 25, 2007 Mr.Theophilus Ojukwu, (pictured right in his orange prison jumpsuit) 46, of Enugwu-Agu, Ihe in Awgu LGA, Enugu State used a mattock (hammer) to bludgeon his deeply asleep RN wife, Melvina Ojukwu, 36, of Umuanebe, also of Ihe, Awgu LGA, Enugu State to a very painful agonizing death.

Sources close to the family said that about two years ago, Melvina’s mother and mother in-law of Theophilus, who was visiting from Nigeria tragically died in a mysterious circumstance, in a bathtub in their house at 5400 block of Barcelona Drive, Garland Texas; this is where Melvina also met her untimely and heartbreaking death.

Whether this is a chain of events is inconclusive but both situations were very tragic! Mr TheophilusOjukwu has since been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole; that one would ask, is the craze to control the RN’s “legendary money-faucet” enough for this tragedy and the life imprisonment consequence thereof?

In another family-related violent incident involving a Nigerian, it was reported in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of March 8, 2006 that a Registered Nurse Roseline Unachukwu, 34, and her six children were taken to the family violence shelter, Northwest YWCA in Marietta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, as a result of physical violence. According to people with knowledge of the incident, the poor lady escaped with her life from her husband’s maniacal rage with very severe cuts in her arms which she received while fending off her husband's killer-rage. Her husband, Benjamin Unachukwu from Nnewi,Anambra State, was taken to jail to face two criminal charges with the kitchen-knife weapon of choice as evidence exhibit!
In Los Angeles California it was reported that a Nigerian RN wife was brutally murdered by her husband. The viciousness of the attack was such that the man eventually tied the dead body of his wife to his truck and dragged her dead body through the roads and streets of Southern California until her skull gave up its cranial contents. He was eventually arrested, charged, tried and convicted for first degree murder with special circumstance which carries the death penalty! He is presently awaiting a date with the lethal injection in a cold segregated death-row prison cell!

Only recently, one Nigeria RN woman living in Dallas Texas had this to write on the Internet about her fellow estranged Nigerian husband:-“I have been married to Mr. X (real name excluded by Icheoku as we do not want to be a purveyor of this domestic madness) for 20years, and had five children for him. I was married to him at the age of 18years, and joined him in Dallas from Nigeria after my high school. For those 20years of marriage which can pass for 20years of bondage and slavery, I have had to endure constant physical abuse, verbal abuse, and emotional abuse and mental torture in the hands of Mr. X. I am asking whosoever that reads my story to please send it out to as many forums as they have access to. Silence they say is golden. But if you are dealing with a mad, sad, disgruntled man like Benjamin X, silence will no longer be golden”.And what could have driven a Nigerian wife to write such an unflattering “oration” about her husband, one would ask? The answer depends on who you ask. Is this couple close to the finish line?Similarly, in Grand Prairie, Dallas, Texas, Mrs. Monireti Abeni Akeredolu, (pictured below in her wedding with her killer-husband) a 46-year old Registered Nurse from Ondo State Nigeria met her untimely death in the hands of her estranged husband, Mr. Ebenezer Akeredolu, Sr., 48. According to the story, Mr.Akeredolu drove several hundred miles from Georgia (where he had moved to nurse his pains at loosing everything he had worked so hard for since coming to the United States several decades ago) to Dallas and pumped several bullets into his ex-wife in day light, with so many people watching the macabre spectacle. Mrs. Monireti died slumped in the wheels of her SUV enroute to a birthday party in her honor – she had just turned 46 a day before on September 7, 2005.

Not too long ago, also, on August 10, 2005 in Euless, a suburb of Dallas, another frustrated Nigerian husband, 45-year old Johnny Omorogieva from Edo State, Nigeria murdered his RN wife, Mrs. Isatu Omorogieva, 35, also of Edo State by savagely striking her on the head numerous times with a hammer in the full view of their 7-year old screaming daughter.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma a yet to be fully authenticated report has it that another Nigerian man recently bludgeoned his RN wife to death while she was fast asleep; following a traumatic life which she has subjected him to since turning into the majority bread winner of the family following her graduating from a nursing program.

Another Nigerian nut-case, Mr. John Onwuka (pictured here right in his orange prison jumpsuit) 49, from Akwetecommunity of Ohafia BendeLocal Government Area of Abia State was charged with one count each of homicide and use of a knife in the commission of a felony. He stabbed his RN wife of twenty five years, Mrs Gloria Uchechi Anya Onwuka age 42, fourteen times in her bedroom while she was getting ready to go to work. She was a nurse manager. Mr. John Onwuka committed this crime on the night of Saturday August 19, 2006 at the home of his wife in Estate Drive,Farmington, Hampton, Virginia with her children watching him act out his gory insanity.

"Yes I have killed the woman that messed my life up! A woman that had destroyed me. I am at Shalom West, my name is Michael and am all yours". With those words - a 911 call placed to the authorities, another Nigeria man has joined the infamous heinous club of Nigerian Men Wife Killers. Fifty year old Mr. Michael Collins Iheme (pictured here left) ofHennepin Minnesota placed the call above few minutes after shooting his twenty eight year old wife, Mrs. Anthonia Eberechiiheme, the mother of his 4 year old boy and 3 year old girl, to death. What is wrong with this crazed out Nigeria man was that he lacked the stomach to take all the bullshit he was forced to take by a typical Nigerian "Nurse" wife. However in as much as Icheoku does not condone such misbehaviour of taking the life of another, these Nigeria men who marry "fedexed" wives should better watch it as what they bargained for might not necessarily always come to fruition. There is no need travelling to Africa to find a wife - if it is akaata, filpino. latina mamacita,oke-bekee or even chinese that loves you, please settle down with such a person. Your love for foofoo andegusi soup is not enough to trade your happiness and possibly freedom when they make you do the unthinkable like our Mr. Micahel Collins Iheme and crew.
For the records, it would appear that majority of these uxoricides occurred in Dallas, Texas! Leading to the question, whuz up Dallas? Is there any maniacal peculiarity with Nigerian men living in Dallas? Further, most of the victims were Registered Nurses which forces one to ask is the "war over the purse" of who controls this their "legendary treasure trove" enough reason to commit the most heinous of all crimes? Also the number of such homicides is rather astronomical judging the sanctity of life-environment from which majority of these homicidal maniacs come from back in Nigeria. Admitted, that it is dreadfully wrong and also a sacrilege for anyone to take the life of another, especially if that other was a spouse; but what could be the driving factor of this senseless exhibition of ravenous rage by some frustrated Nigerian men in the United States of America? This question is imperative because there are other more acceptable options available for getting out of a hellish marriage including just getting up and leaving; mutual separation; taking a second wife just like the Mormons of Texas, Utah and Nevada; becoming a bachelor once again; keeping a girl friend outside your so called matrimonial home or the penultimate divorce instead of committing the mother of all crimes - taking the life of another! Nothing is worth it! Does the underlying problem defy every solution imaginable? NO! Take a deep breath and consider other options including the almighty walking-out! Nothing is worth the trouble! Not all the diamonds in South Africa and/or gold in Fort Knox! The "mansion" which you are fighting for, you did not bring it with you to America? The SUV or Mercedes car that is making you to loose your head, the manufacturing plant in Stuttgart Germany has not yet closed shop! In your convoluted suspicion that your wife is sleeping around because she dresses well, ask yourself, where is the foundational trust of your relationship and at worst, were you the first man in her life? Did you break her virginity and why do you think it is either you with her or nobody at all, that you will rather have her dead than loose her to someone else? Have you also tried getting professional counseling or earnestly engaging your wife in an open discussion to find out what you may be doing wrong and make amends where necessary. Have you tried temporary separation for a cool-off period? At worst get an amicable divorce so that you guys can remain friends for the benefit of the children! Before you write that check which you cannot cash, please stop and ask yourself, before you met her did you not have any life? It is not worth it!
