What Are The Top Questions To Ask Before Marrying A Nigerian Guy/gal? by isika82: 11:55pm On Jan 15, 2009
I am getting serious with a Nigerian guy who came to US as a teenage and I want people's advice. Truth be told, I am Nigerian (not Nigerian American, since my father is Nigerian), but I was born and raised in US. I am one of those people, others want to label as being out of touch with my heritage. But I am not (i watch Nigerian movies lol), plus I love Nigerian food. This is a first for me as he is the first Nigerian guy I have ever dated. I am expecting him to treat me differently from other non-Nigerians I dated in the past (is that too much to ask for). Plus I want to be respected. So, what are the top questions one should ask before marrying a Nigerian guy. For starters, I didn't meet him on the internet and yes he is a good man. Any thoughts

1. What is your take on a woman's role in a marriage?

gee i would have thought
that a girl who is ready to settle down
would know what kind of questions to ask
her serious boyfriend

So i guess I should ask what is his take on a man's role in marriage too? I am striving for an egalitarian union, so if the questions are posed for women, is it okay to pose them to the man also.

Technically, I am getting serious. I say that because we currently do not live in the same town let alone the same state, which is why i was posing the questions?

you no ready to marry at all . . . wait small.  grin Your eye go soon clear . . .
Re: What Are The Top Questions To Ask Before Marrying A Nigerian Guy/gal? by sistawoman: 12:01am On Jan 16, 2009
how long have you dated him?

Have you not covered all the pre-marriage questions by now?

Is this going to be typed and will he have a set amount of time to answer the question?

It really is not like a pop quiz or something.  It is not an interogation.  These are just everyday conversations, questions, talks that you have with your man over time to figure out where he is or what he is thinking.

How old are you?
