Great feelings about “Goodbye Germany”: Susann has found her dream prince in the Nigerian Ugo – but her friends are rather skeptical.
Ingolstadt – Susann Griessbach (58) has already had two failed marriages, and now the perfumery saleswoman is venturing to the altar for a third time on “Goodbye Germany”.
Because her chosen one, Ugo (38), is a Nigerian who is 20 years her junior, the 58-year-old is quickly confronted with prejudice - and in her own environment!
“Goodbye Germany” emigrant newly in love – but friends have doubts
Susann Griessbach has a soft spot for fairy tales, more specifically for the “Frog Prince”, as the decoration in the “Goodbye Germany” participant’s apartment clearly shows.
For the 58-year-old, the Brothers Grimm story has apparently become reality.
She “always felt such a longing,” says the Ingolstadt native, “because somewhere there is this thought: You kiss a frog and suddenly you have a prince.” In her case, this prince is called Ugo Ogba and comes from Nigeria, where he once lived pursued a football career which he had to give up due to a knee injury.
The two met over the Internet and got married just a few weeks later - because they were kindred spirits, according to the “Goodbye Germany” couple.
In her German homeland, however, her love for the much younger African is met with skepticism: "Are you 100 percent sure?" one of Susann's friends asked in advance, while another openly shared her fears and suspected Ugo of being a "marriage fraudster" - after all Stories like this have already happened on the Vox show itself.
Thanks to “Goodbye Germany” to the celebrity – it worked for these stars!
The first “Goodbye Germany” episode flickered across television screens on August 15, 2006, and since then Vox has produced over a dozen seasons of the documentary soap.
Over the years, many emigrants have achieved considerable fame thanks to the show, including Konny (67) and Manuela Reimann (54), Daniela Katzenberger (36), Chris Töpperwien (48), Jens Büchner (†49) and Caro (44) and Andreas Robens (56).
Love or fake at “Goodbye Germany”?
Emigrant confident: “Nothing can separate us”
But such doubts are alien to Susann Griessbach: she is head over heels in love - and not just with Ugo, but also with his home country.
“I have never felt as at home in a country as I do in Nigeria,” reveals the newly married emigrant, who even believes it is possible to have “African blood” in her.
However, it is not clear at the end of the “Goodbye Germany” episode whether she will permanently relocate to West Africa.
First Ugo should visit her in Germany.

There the 38-year-old also gets the chance to prove to those around Susann how serious he is about her.
Vox will continue to accompany the couple in the future, as promised at the end of the episode.
The 58-year-old was already sure: “Nothing can separate us anymore!” The situation is similar with another emigrant - but for completely different reasons: Although he cheated her out of 20,000 euros, a “Goodbye Germany” star returned returns to her ex in Africa.
