Reasons Why You Should Not Get Married To A Nigerian Man

It is no doubt that Nigerian men make wonderful lovers; they are sweet, kind, thoughtful, maybe not very romantic but romantic still and good in bed too. It is also no doubt that these men are very rare to come by in Nigeria. Maybe by default or societal conditioning, most Nigerian men are so not it; they are egoistic, chauvinistic and make terrible husband materials. You wonder why I think Nigerian men; at least most of them, won't make good husbands, read the reasons listed below:

-They Are Chauvinists: pardon the strong word "chauvinists" but Nigerian men prefer to stick to their bias opinion about women and their responsibilities in the home. The take the "head" duty way too serious and often push the women aside expecting them to follow their will and do as they say. If you marry a Nigerian man, you will probably end up as the less important voice in the home or wherever the man rather than as a partner you are to him.

- They Are Polygamous In Nature: In Nigeria, some men believe men are entitled to as many women as they can handle and so, they are free to marry more than one wife or have affairs with other women. With a Nigerian man, it is never certain that you will be the only woman in his life. To save yourself the heartbreaks of discovering condoms and hotel receipts in his pocket or worse, finding out he has secret children, please do not marry a Nigerian man.

- They Are Not Romantic: you want flowers, a guy to follow you to the salon, exotic lunches, dinners, vacations, chocolates and breakfast in bed? Then, a Nigerian man is not the man you should marry. They often consider these things as cheesy and unneccesary. Maybe they will try on your birthdays and valentine's day (that's if they don't come up with excuses to forget). The most romantic thing some Nigerian men will ever get for you is packs of food from an eatery or drinks and few back/foot rubs just right before sex.

- You Will Be A Nanny To A Grown Man: if God blesses you with a Nigerian man and a somehow scattered one, you are in soup. You've just graduated to being a nanny to a full grown man. You will pick his socks, shirts and what not after him when he gets back from work, even flush the toilet when he's done. Be ready to face a sulking man if the food is not ready on time or you try to get him to do something for you when his favourite game or tv show is on. You will have to pet and stroke his ego almost all the time to make him happy.

- They Have The Wife Beating Syndrome: either by societal conditioning or home training, some Nigerian men believe it is very normal to hit a woman; that is the only way to put them back on track when they are wrong. It is no secret that some Nigerian men will beat their wives and feel no regret about it; it is somehow the woman's fault the man is so angry to the extent he has to hit her. If you're not ready to lose your fine skin to the itchy palms of a man, please steer clear of Nigerian men.

Nigerian men are also good liars. They smoke and drink heavily and blame it on the society's deteriorating condition; they have to "keep body and soul together". Many Nigerian men have money problem; it is either they are misers or heavy spenders. Some prefer to show off the wealth they do not possess by living way beyond their standards. And the most annoying part is that many Nigerian men are Mr nice guy in public and Mr stingy in their homes which you will agree is not a very attractive trait especially in someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.

I know by now, some guys are already hissing and cursing me probably but it is undeniable that many Nigerian guys have terrible attitudes that make them really undesirable husband materials. I mean, it is tough enough we have to cope with the many issues in the country, men problems should not be added to our weighty wahala. We deserve men who understand us (at least to a reasonable extent), shower us with the affection we need, pamper us and make us feel very special and loved but how many Nigerian men can beat their chests that they can be the man of our dreams or at least, part of the dreams?!!

Madam theinkheart, you are a very good writer nd i'd say kudos to you, lemme just make this clarifications
- the post would have made more sense if you made it known to us as your opinion..
-you seem to generalise, you probably shouldnt, maybe the word 'most' or 'few' would have been better.. let that be at the back of your mind when next you're writing

Women that like getting beat or think that's normal don't deserve a good man. They should just marry a panel beater with 7 years experience.

Luckily Some meet their soulmates; others have to make do with What they have.

A soul mate is just a good man with a good heart and a healthy bank account in this context and in the broader Nigerian context. A good man knows women don't need to be beaten in order to make them feel sorry.

If you have to make do with a man that is punching you like pacman will soon do to mayweather then the woman has a brain injury and will soon literally have injury of the brain.

Lol! You are falling for her trick, the end game for these women is that the man lives his life in servitude to the women. Under the guise of wanting you to be a "sweet guy" they expect that you exist only to do their bidding.

We know ourselves, we know we are not all savages as these women claim. Women in almost every country use these kinds of mind games on their men.

As a true Nigerian man continue to pursue your dreams, aim for higher achievements, and always strive to improve yourself everyday. The woman should not be the focus of your life, she should only compliment it. Do not waste your time trying to prove to her that you are sweet, caring and romantic. On the contrary it is when you shift your gaze from her and focus on something higher and nobler, that's when she will come running after you. If she doesn't come it's her loss, other women full ground.

No 2 is so true. Doubt it to your own detriment. A Nigerian married man either cheats physically or emotionally. If he does not cheat it's either he has no money or he is a very devout pastor.
