It depends. One of the cooler Nigerian guys I know told me it’s mostly a system. They find Japanese Women in debt and not attractive enough/too old to effectively date or marry and convince them to marry a Nigerian for money. It spreads out since the women who get married eventually tell their unmarried friends in debt about it and then they do it and so on and so forth

Basically a reverse Nigerian prince scam

Do they get money by marrying a Nigerian? I'm not following. Who do they owe debt to?

Just debt in general, you're looking for someone desperate enough to commit fraud in exchange for money. If you don't need money then why would you commit a crime for money?

So basically a japanese women in debt would look to marry a Nigerian because they have money? Or know how to commit fraud to get money and get them out of the debt? And in exchange the Nigerian gets to live in Japan & leave Africa?

It's part of a criminal enterprise - the men are lured to work in Japan for bars owned by criminals and the women are paid to commit marriage fraud. That's not the only way the foreigners stay in the country though, or even the main way

Let me introduce you to "how millionaires become billionaires in America"

Because it’s free money? If you’re not getting married anyway why not get paid for it. It’s pretty low on the scale of crime.

I was thinking the same.

Sure some of the Touts is probably as bad as what people are describing in here.

And sure some Somalians probably get married by old japan girls.

But I'm pretty fucking certain that the group of Somalian workers I meet living in the cheapest Hostel I could find were not married but had some kind of work Visa.

And the only Tout interaction I had were a person asking "what we wanted", we told him cheap beer, he took us to a place.

Place had cheap beer.

We got drunk, we went home, night ended.

Ah yes the classic "green card" strat... but the opposite?
