Wanted on the Web: Rich Husband, Escape from Africa (2002/10/18)

不甘貧窮 非洲女孩網(wǎng)上征婚求出路(2002/10/18)

In the bare premises of an Abidjan Internet cafe, 12-year-old schoolboy Mohammed plays Cupid.

Wanted on the Web: Rich Husband, Escape from AfricaScores of young women in the West African country of Ivory Coast have taken to surfing the Web, some for hours a day, determined to find a husband.

And not just any man will do.

"When you ask them what sort of guy they want, they all say the same thing: white, with a house, aged about 50 ," he said, smiling shyly.

Some of the women are illiterate. Most do not know how to use a computer or cannot type fast.

To earn his pocket money, Mohammed helps the man-hunting girls write their love messages, post them on the Internet and read e-mails from potential suitors.

"These Web sites are about love but when you meet these girls you feel that it's not really love they are looking for," he said.

Kone Adjouma, who runs the Cyber Center where Mohammed works, says most of his customers are 18-to-20-year-old girls who see a white man as their ticket to a better life in Europe, Canada or the United States.


"Sometimes, after a while, the guy comes here for a week to meet the family. Then he would send over a plane ticket and a bit of money for the documents," Adjouma said. "I have been here for two years and I've seen nine girls leave like that."

The dating pages of Web sites can carry 30 to 40 new messages every day from Ivorian women seeking partners. Most say they want "un blanc" (a white). Some can be quite specific about other requirements too.

"Pretty, young African woman seeks European man, only aged between 40 and 50, for marriage, well-off because I think that's what you need to be happy, let's not be ashamed about it," said a recent message.

Not surprisingly, some matches made on the Internet turn sour very quickly.

Rebecca, 22, says her friend Viviane sounded very happy when she found a man who asked her to go over to France. "He was buying her clothes. He was taking her to clubs. Everything looked fine but then, after two weeks, he told her she had to work as a prostitute," she said. Viviane managed to escape and now lives in Ghana.

But even the most horrible tales seem to do little to dent the hopes of Yolande, 21, who works as a maid and hairdresser. She says she has been dreaming of marrying a foreign man since she was 15.

Yolande says the French embassy has twice refused her a visa after a Frenchman she met in Ivory Coast sent her money and a ticket to join him.

She said she will keep trying. "I can't read and I can't write, my mother works in the fields at the village. When I have a child, I want him to have a different life."

盡管12歲的穆罕默德還是個(gè)在校就讀的孩子,但是在阿比讓網(wǎng)吧那幢光禿禿的樓房里,他卻每天努力扮演著愛神“丘比特”的角色。

在這里,有很多來(lái)自非洲象牙海岸的年輕女孩子,她們每天都花好幾個(gè)小時(shí)上網(wǎng),只因?yàn)樗齻兿露藳Q心,要通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)為自己找到如意郎君。

但并不是所有的男人都在她們的征婚范圍之內(nèi)的。

臉上帶著害羞的微笑,穆罕默德說(shuō)道:"如果你問(wèn)她們什么樣的男人符合她們的條件,她們的回答都一樣:白人,有房子,年齡50歲左右。"

這些女孩子中,有一部分是文盲,絕大多數(shù)根本不懂如何使用電腦。即便會(huì),打字速度也很慢。

穆罕默德幫助這些女孩子寫求愛的信息,張貼在網(wǎng)上,并為她們朗讀那些符合條件的回復(fù)郵件,以此賺取一些零花錢。

他說(shuō):"這些網(wǎng)站都是有關(guān)愛情的。但如果你和這些女孩子面對(duì)面,你會(huì)覺得她們并非在尋找真正的愛情。"

Wanted on the Web: Rich Husband, Escape from Africa據(jù)經(jīng)營(yíng)這家網(wǎng)吧的科內(nèi)說(shuō),光顧這里的大部分是18到20歲的女孩子,她們向往歐洲、加拿大或者美國(guó)的舒適生活,希望能找到一個(gè)白人給自己提供一張到達(dá)那里的機(jī)票。

他說(shuō):"有時(shí)候,會(huì)有一些男人過(guò)來(lái)和女孩子的家庭見面,回去后就把機(jī)票和辦手續(xù)的錢寄過(guò)來(lái)。我已經(jīng)在這里呆了兩年,親眼見到有9個(gè)女孩子用這種方式離開了這里。"

一些網(wǎng)站會(huì)有一些關(guān)于征婚交友的頁(yè)面,這些頁(yè)面每天都會(huì)發(fā)布30到40條的新信息,內(nèi)容大多是關(guān)于象牙海岸婦女的交友啟事。大部分人都要求對(duì)方是白人,有時(shí)候,她們還會(huì)非常明確的寫出自己的其他要求。

最近發(fā)布的一條是這樣寫的:"年輕美貌非洲女孩欲尋找40到50歲的歐洲男子為偶,你必須富有,因?yàn)橹挥胸?cái)富才能使人快樂(lè),這樣說(shuō)沒什么,不用感到羞恥。"

當(dāng)然,網(wǎng)絡(luò)姻緣也不乏失敗的例子,帶來(lái)一些澀澀的苦果。

22歲的麗貝卡說(shuō)她的朋友維維亞娜通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)認(rèn)識(shí)了一個(gè)男人,他邀請(qǐng)她去法國(guó),"他給她買衣服,帶她去俱樂(lè)部,起初一切都那么美好,但兩星期后,他讓她去賣淫。"維維亞娜幸運(yùn)地從那個(gè)男人手中逃了出去,現(xiàn)在住在加納。

但即便是最可怕的事例也無(wú)法嚇退21歲的約蘭達(dá)。她現(xiàn)在的工作是女傭和美發(fā)師。她說(shuō)從15歲起她就夢(mèng)想著嫁給外國(guó)人。

約蘭達(dá)在象牙海岸認(rèn)識(shí)了一個(gè)法國(guó)人,他給了她錢和機(jī)票。但法國(guó)使館已經(jīng)兩次拒絕發(fā)給她簽證。

約蘭達(dá)說(shuō)她會(huì)一直努力下去,直到通過(guò)為止:"我既不識(shí)字,也不會(huì)寫。我的母親每天都在鄉(xiāng)下的地里干活。當(dāng)我有了孩子,我一定要給他一個(gè)全新的生活。"
