News reports said Tijans downfall came after he met Sonja Maier, who believed she had found love at first sight when she was swept off her feet by Tijan after meeting him in a bar.

It's TWUE!
He deserves his own wing in the Man Hall of Fame.
Once a jolly conman waived his lengthy billadong
Under the shade of Miss Coolibah’s tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited while her billy boiled:
“Who’ll come a-waltzing and marrying me?”
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You’ll come a-waltzing and marry to me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:
“You’ll come a-waltzing and marrying me.”
WOOF!
using them for room and board whenever he was nearby and borrowing money from them which he never returned.
...
I knew it. It’s not like he’s being a real husband or boyfriend to all of them, which is a full time job.
So does his wing man!
Busy little . . . .
Definitely qualifies for the “Insanity” defense!!
Best comment of the week!
I was thinking that if they didn't all know about each other he may need protective custody, maybe even disappear into witness protection...
Dude probably needed an Excel sheet to keep up with all these women.
Not exactly a Von Trapp this guy.
It occurs to me we never hear of women doing this. Do we not do this, or do we just not get caught?
Sounds a bit like Obama’s dad. Wasn’t he a bigamist as well?
The four wives is a legitimate reason to arrest him, but not the seven fiancees and five girlfriends.
Maybe they have laws against adultery.
Yep, I was just being western-centric, I suppose! I hate myself!!!
Which NFL team did he play for?
In the US, he’d get a pro NFL contract.
